The Lexington

Came here on a chilly Sunday night. The inside is dark, classy, and cosy. My aunt and I split a bunch of food--the walleye cakes, a beet salad, the steak diane, and a stuffed squash. All of it was good! The beer salad was a generous portion, the steak was seasoned well and didn't need the cream sauce, and I particularly liked the stuffed squash (though overpriced if you ask me). I appreciated that the kitchen split most our food onto separate plates for us! That's always a win!

Spectacular food, service and ambience!!!We had the perfect table and experience for our large group for dinner before our play at the Guthrie. We parked on the street in the neighborhood but they have valet too.The server overheard some of our table forgetting their glasses so they came and gave them spare readers!The food was absolutely to die for! Every single thing we ordered was delicious! Get the dirty green beans side if you get the chance! The aesthetic is beautiful. It's very regal, and old school classic.I highly recommend for a special night out!

Best Salmon of My LifeThe Lexington is an old school supper club on Grand Ave in St Paul, Mn. Our Thanksgiving dinner last year was so good we decided to go again this year. Does two years in a row make for a tradition? I guess we'll know next year.The Lex is pricey and the kind of place you'll want to dress up for. But the food, the service and the ambiance make for a very special night out - perfect for an anniversary, milestone birthday or, in this case, Thanksgiving dinner.Known for their steaks and seafood, but I needed a "healthy option" . Cooked perfectly with bearnaise served on the side, the Salmon Oscar exceeded expectations. Others at our table ordered scallops, a burger and the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I have had the Thanksgiving dinner before. It competes with anything you'd make at home (even better, I think).On what had to have been one of their busiest nights of the year, the Lex delivered: cheerful efficient service, excellent food and the kind of atmosphere you can only get at an establishment thats been a local legend for nearly a century. I am grateful that places like The Lex still exist and that I am able to treat my family to a special meal at such a place.

Old school supper club vibes. Extremely friendly and kind service! We ordered the steak medium rare and it felt tough and more medium. The green beans were great, but I died and went to heaven over the burrata.

Lexington is a Saint Paul treasure that you must visit! It feels as though your time traveling back into the Golden age of steak houses when you enter the Lexington!Upon being greeted, you are to a table or the giant booth like I was where I ordered The steak and the Gnocchi! The steak was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi is worth coming back again and again! It's in a mushroom cream sausage who made it stand out like any other gnocchi I've never had before! the service is very professional, but can be a little cold cause I'm a little more! But this place is worth the visit! Make it up to the rooftop for a burger that is also one of the best burgers I've had as well! See you soon Lexington!

This is one of our regular place to go. Foods, cocktails, great ambiance all of the above. Never fails every time. Very consistentThis time we have "le serveur extraordinaire" (server that went above and beyond) His name is Matt. He knows so much about whole menu (foods & cocktails) he can explain to a tiniest details if you ask him. Turns out he started out in the kitchen so he actually know inside out. He's also a foodie and you can ask him anything.He suggested "House Steak House" with our onion ring. wow! I will always get that sauce with the onion ring & a cocktail - that could be my go to dinner of all time!

In town on a trip . Thought it was a nice place to have an elevated meal . We were seated in the chefs dinning room with view of the kitchen which probably elevated the experience . We started with the Lobster Cauliflower Cheese starter and it was very delicious. Honestly could have ate two of those and been happy . I had the seafood bouillabaisse which included crab legs . A little messy but was pre warned by the server that would be the case. It was good not great. Other guest had scallops and they were cooked perfectly and tasty and the chocolate cake finish was nice and came in crazy big portions . Overall a good experience for us and worth the added expense for us . If you're trying to get a cheaper meal there are probably better places to go but it was worth it for the ambience and the service was top notch .

We went to the Lexington on Thanksgiving which was also my birthday and it did not disappoint. This is a historic building. Our waiter gave us a brief history since it was our first time there. They knew it was my birthday because it was marked on our reservation and they definitely made me feel special. We got a cauliflower and lobster gratin for an appetizer. My husband had mushroom stroganoff and I ordered the Turkey dinner special. I had enough leftover for a meal the next day. My husband had an old fashioned which he said was good. Our water glasses stayed full. Plates were cleared as we finished. They boxed my leftovers up for me. It was an expensive meal but it's a great place for a celebration.

Stopped by the rooftop of the Lexington for cocktails with the girlfriend on a beautiful Friday night. The ambiance was great! It feels really open yet private. For the first round, we ordered the old fashioned and a White Russian. Both were delicious. For the second round , I described my preference to the bartender and asked him to suprise me! He got really excited and made me a "Paper Plane by the Rufete". It was incredible and came with a little paper plane that one of the waitresses makes by hand. The felt pretty special. Overall great experience. Will be back.

I have eaten everywhere from empanadas sold out of the back of a dodge caravan to a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Chicago (moody tongue) and I can say without a doubt this was the best food experience I've ever had. Charles our server and the hostess, along with the young gentleman helping bring food out were all very helpful, polite, and seemed to really enjoy giving us great service and a great experience. The hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome and Charles went out of his way to really get in depth with what was on the menu, and drink menu, as well as giving us good recommendations.My girlfriend and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary. We shared the crab wontons and the tenderloin tips. We both enjoyed the crab wontons but the tenderloin tips were epic! We then shared the truffle gouda gnocchi, and the Yukon gold whipped potatoes. The gnocchi was spectacular and the whipped potatoes might be the best mashed/whipped potatoes we've ever had! My girlfriend got the salmon and I got the ribeye and both were cooked to perfection temp and tasted delicious. I'm kinda a stickler with my steaks and this steak was great! After our meal the hostess snapped a picture of my girlfriend and I and Charles brought out a sundae free of charge to help us feel a little more special on our anniversary.All in all we will be back and I really really appreciate the service and hospitality that the employees at The Lexington provided us.
