EVERYTHING was fabulous! 3 guests - 2 first timers - ages 75, 54 and 24. We were all delighted with our meal choices. The calamari was phenomenal, the steak frites - yummy! The bucateli with Shrimp - amazing. AND THE BIRTHDAY CUSTARD ----- NO WORDS..... Thanks for a great night and wonderful birthday celebration. You were all awesome.

Stopped in after work with a friend and had a few drinks for happy hour. Decent happy hour prices. My first initial impression was not positive. I asked the gentleman behind the bar (later found out he was the Manager) what wine was on the happy hour menu. His reply was "Does it matter?! It's on happy hour!" I replied, "yes, it does. There are some I prefer over others." I got the feeling he was annoyed. A female bartender took over and she was so nice and friendly. She made up for her rude Managers behavior. She is the reason why I would give that place a second glance.

This has been my go-to brunch spot in Saint Paul. Their recent "rebranding", however, has included a 50 percent price increase 😳 and the elimination of two of the best menu items (the shrimp and grits and the biscuits and gravy). With a far more expensive and far less interesting brunch menu, unfortunately this will become a once-in-a-while place instead of my go-to.
