Dock & Paddle

Coffee and croissant pastry (highly recommend) are great taste and great price. We came to the como regional park to check the cherry tree blooming and stopped by this restaurant. Staff is very friendly. The place is spacious/clean/cozy. And it has two stories with beautiful windows and chandeliers.On a weekend, when you like to take a walk in the park, this place is good to stop by to grab something to eat or just relax and eat on the patio to enjoy the beautiful lake view. I feel like this place is under rated/recognized. The hours printed on the window indicated open at 11am, however they opened earlier with drink and pastry. After 11, they start to serve lunch.

The food was nothing to speak of. The service so so but the view of the lake como was just amazing . 5 stars to th wheaten is going for allowing overly fur baby on the patio

Nice little restaurant located right on Lake Como in St. Paul. The restaurant/bar area is fine. They have a pretty good craft beer list and a good food menu, but the main attraction is being located right on the Lake and being attached to a big concert bandshell. It's ideal for grabbing something to eat/drink and sit and enjoy the views of the lake and surrounding park, which is what we did. I'm sure it'd be great for listening to music there as well, none were playing when we went, but it's just as nice enjoying a nice day. If I lived there I'm sure I'd frequent it quite a bit and take friends there. I'm glad I got to see it.

They were out of a lot of menu items but I was able to pivot and I got the chicken nachos. Delish! I love this place for the ambiance - right on the water, great outdoor space, upstairs seating and ample parking.

Lovely, open space perfect for meeting with friends to collaborate as we did today. Matcha latte is the only thing I order at cafes. No matcha latte on the menu, so I was about to settle for a hot chocolate. On a whim, I asked if a matcha latte was possible.The lovely barista shared that they were trained to make matcha lattes and made me a lovely cup to enjoy. So happy!

Beautiful views of the lake and a great shaded gathering spot to meet friends and even large groups. Happened to be there on a day where there was a performance of barbershop quartets, which we really enjoyed. The food is okay, which is why I didn't rate it higher. I tried the Caribbean Cuban which had a small slice of pork and a very small amount of pickled farmstand veggies. I've also had the fish tacos before, which lack flavor. Great space to enjoy a nice day, though keep expectations in check for the food.

Located right on lake como this is the perfect spot to stop for coffee and a treat! The parking was easy and the area is just so beautiful. The food was yummy and quick.

It's been awhile since I've been around these parts, it was nice to pit stop here and get some grub. I know usually they have live music and such which is great in the summer. The indoor space is huge and also a great option for dining in if you don't want to sit outside, but it's patio season so we're enjoying every minute of the outdoor dining. They were out of a few things we wanted to order which was a bummer so I opted for the chicken nachos and they were actually very good!

There was ample seating upstairs and downstairs. There was a wedding going on so it was hard to not take a furtive glance at all the amusement while sipping on wine and having a burger with fries.

The aggressive nature of the cashiers in soliciting tips for themselves was a turn off. "We encourage you strongly to tip" and then leaning over to watch the screen as you complete payment. There's no table service and you bus your own table. I was there with a friend in a different line and they got the same treatment. The building is beautiful and the food was as fairly good.
