The St. Paul Grill

What can I say! It's beautiful and historic in this location! First things first though, parking can be hard as there's isn't much street parking, so look for a ramp. Anyways, we made reservations and I'm glad we did because it was busy! Upon pur arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff that sat us quickly. We were given water immediately and our waitress was on the spot! Our drinks were good and we started with some wild rice soup which was delicious. Our main course was incredible (pictures provided)! My pasta definitely tasted fresh and salmon was perfect. My girlfriend loved her lamb chops. They weren't quite medium as she requested, but it's no big deal. Overall, I enjoyed my time, atmosphere, drinks, food, and service!- Anthony

Enjoyed an evening at the Grill with a group of ten. Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful.The chicken wild rice soup was good. My husband had the lobster bisque and thought it was good too. For dinner I had the charred salmon salad. It included three charred salmon filets which were very tasty! My husband enjoyed his walleye, and we both loved the hash browns we shared (and still had plenty leftover to bring home for breakfast.)We ordered brandy alexanders for dessert and they were "ok"... I probably would t get again. All in all a good experience with tasty food.

Classic elegance fit for date night or a special occasion. Delicious steak, but save room for wild rice soup and creme brûlée dessert. Service was top notch; friendly and helpful. We felt so fancy walking into the St Paul Hotel entrance. The restaurant was not as lavishly decorated as the hotel but was still beautiful and filled with handsome dark wood. We got lucky and found some on-street parking a block away. Valet parking is available at the hotel if you have a hard time finding parking. FOOD:Complimentary Bread (4/5): served warm with crispy crust and soft spongy center. Filet Mignon (3/5) it was delicious but there was no wow factor compared to other steakhouses. Wild Rice Soup (4/5): extra creamy and so filling. I wish I had ordered the cup instead of the bowl. Hash Browns (5/5): perfectly crispy and PLENTIFUL; could have fed 4 or 5 people. Burnt Creme (Creme Brûlée) (5/5) a perfect execution to a classic dessert IMHO.

Hilary, our server, was most helpful for our girlfriend getaway at the landmark St. Paul Hotel! She took extra time with us to explore things to do in downtown St. Paul, even bringing us a map! The Grill is a special treat. We had 2 lunches and one dinner as we stayed overnight! Every meal was enjoyable, I highly recommend.

I have had the most WONDERFUL experience. From the food to the timeliness of service. I have no complaints. At one point in our meal there was a question for a manager. The gentleman's name was Chadwick and he was infinitely more incredible than I could have ever asked. The restaurants atmosphere was decently quiet and very enjoyable. I have had an amazing experience and I will continue to return for many trips to come.

Have been coming to this place for years on business and always such a wonderful, old school, classic and classy atmosphere. Tonight I arrived at the hotel and sat at the bar for a quick dinner and loved that the service for someone solo and not at a table was the same top notch experience. Wes was a gem of a bartender, asking your name, providing his, inquiring what you were interested in from wines to food and offering suggestions, super attentive, and adding this personal touch to my beverage. This place is not only the perfect business or special occasion dinner, it's a perfect "make you feel special" no matter when you are there kind of place. Highly recommend.

The service here is fantastic! My coworker and I stopped by about 15 minutes before the kitchen closed (I know, I know!) and we weren't rushed one bit. I only ended up getting the Apple Crisp dessert and the Carrot Cake (haven't tried it yet, got it to go) and my co worker order the pork chop. She loved her meal and we both really enjoyed the Apple Crisp with ice cream. The scotch menu is plentiful. The restaurant reminded me a bit of a speakeasy and I loved that. Would highly recommend checking out this place.

We only had a snack and drinks at the bar. The restaurant was closed by the time we arrived. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Our server, Elle, was great - 5 Star service. She was attentive, friendly, and had good recommendations. Didn't care for the surprise "4% hospitality fee" on the bill. Hard to tell, but I think the base tax was calculated on top of that 4% fee. I didn't see the 4% fee on the menu and no one mentioned it. Unfortunately, I only saw it the next day on the receipt. As there was no entertainment and I'm pretty sure every bar includes a server, I'm guessing this is the credit card fee virus infecting some establishments. Regardless, this was the highest % I have experienced thus far. As credit cards don't charge establishments more than 3%, pretty disappointing. A management issue, not a server issue. I'm just tired of it. If you want more money out of my pocket, just raise your price and then let me choose.

This is a GREAT, classy, but pricey restaurant and bar inside the historic St. Paul Hotel. They are located on the first floor. The food was very good! Again, pricey, but you get what you pay for. The bar is really cool. One wall is covered in photos of famous people from Minnesota. The rest of the back bar wall is all of their liquors on. Ice shelves with mirrors behind it. WES is the bar tender there and he is amazing!! After a really crappy day, I went into the bar, sat down and asked Wes to make me a cosmo or martini and just surprise me. I love lemon drop martinis and that's what he made me! He gave me excellent advice on my dinner choice and made a killer chocolate martini too, with my name in it! I can't afford to eat there alot, but I will definitely be back! A great spot for date night!!

We had a great dining experience at the St Paul Grill! It has an upscale old steakhouse look with dark wood and white linen tablecloths. The entire staff is amazing from the minute you walk in the door (they even changed our table to give us extra room for a baby in a car seat). Our server was so nice and helpful, and gave us great recommendations. Our group had the shrimp cocktail, NY strip, chicken (this was huge), crab cakes and sides of hashbrowns and corn succotash - and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the halibut, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor - and also an espresso martini which was one of the best I've had! We'll definitely be back!
