Restaurants in Saint Paul

“Great service and food!!!!”

“We had a fantastic date night at Joan’s! Highly recommend! The food was incredible. Perfect pacing, portions, wine pairings, and the flavors have you closing your eyes to experience each bite. One of the best meals we have ever had. Our server was thoughtful and friendly. Great dining atmosphere. We will be back!”

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well”

“Hyacinth is a keeper. Creative food, well prepared, small but extremely well chosen wines. Portions were large, a bit too large in my view. Hyacinth is one of the few restaurants in the post Covid dining world that is daring to show us how innovative dining can be done.”

“Great Sandwiches, been eating there a long time. Great Staff, very patient and professional!”

“Celebrated my 25th birthday here and it was an amazing experience! Loved the atmosphere and interior design - most importantly the food was amazing!! burgers and fries get more addicting with each bite!! haha

Oh and the bartender knocked the old fashioned out the park 10/10.”

“Favorite steakhouse. Best managed restaurant”

“I truly can’t name a better restaurant in the twin cities. The food is amazing of course but the customer service knocks it out of the park for me every time. Thank you thank you thank you”

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.”

“Bar+Cart offers a top-notch dining experience with a vibe that is unmatched in MSP, excellent food, and amazing cocktails. The attentive staff and warm hospitality make it perfect for any occasion. Highly recommended!”

“Accidentally arrived at Brunson's for lunch because the place down the road where we were supposed to go was closed. Best service I've had anywhere in America since before covid. Food was excellent, made from scratch, and doubt anyone could go wrong on the menu. Highly recommend.”

“Hot delicious food and friendly staff. I go here when I want to treat myself!”

“We were on a quest to find a new ice cream place and stumbled upon Treats via Google. I am so happy we found it! Best ice cream ever! Who would have thought mixing cereal with ice cream could be so amazing!?? Definitely coming back again and again :)”

“Truly amazing wood-fired hand crafted pizza!! Thoughtful & unique side sauces to complement their HANDMADE works of art. We enjoyed two dine in pies that included complementary dipping sauces! Our family favorite was the honey ranch and the hot honey that complemented their Hawaiian style Za perfectly. Let’s not forget the house made garlic aioli sauce *chefs kiss* We cannot wait to try their cheesesteak options when we return in a few weeks! Our family was visiting from Duluth, Mn and would be honored to have them in our city someday! Job well done! Thank you for having us!!”

“We got a burger and a chicken sandwich; both were delicious and seasoned well. That garlic sauce for the fries was fantastic. Not too busy, probably because of the construction, but there was a consistent flow. I've got to go back to try other menu items because the little we did have let's me know they're cranking out some good stuff. I believe I saw some brew on tap.”

“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰”

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.”

“One of the best Restaurants in the Twin Cities. A once a week destination for decades. Get the show stopper #17.”

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Amazing staff - incredible service - delicious cocktails - excellent wine list - lovely ambience - delicious food”

“The food is insane good!!! Great atmosphere.”

“My sister and I had lunch. We had the greatest waiter. Jordan. He was fun, attentive and had great drink and food suggestions. Even though he was by himself and ended up getting super busy, his warm personality still shined through. Great variety of foods on the menu”

“Today was my first time eating Herr and it was very good.”

“Had our first dinner there last night. AMAZING in all areas, we shared 4 items and all of them very special with a lot of attention given to everything. Our server was great, attentive and fun too. We will be back again and again and will be spreading the word. Keep up the good work folks. We’re in love!”

“Ended up here by accident during a time that an Eric Clapton concert was in town. Looking for a rooftop bar. Drinks were awesome (thanks Todd!) had three appetizers: bruschetta, sausage and meatballs. Drinks and food were👌”

“Great little place. A bit loud, could barely hear my beautiful date talk. Although it was a weekday during lunch hours, to be expected. But otherwise the food was awesome and the service was great too.”

“Went here for the first time 3/11/26. I'm just going to say the experience was amazing. Food was fantastic service was top notch very friendly staff. the lovely lady at the door greeted us with a perfect smile (loved her hair) definitly will visit again”

“Fast friendly service. Food was good and hot. Will come again when I visit next time!”

“The best breakfast and coffee in town..”

“Great dining experience with very friendly staff. We liked everything we tried.”

“well the food was good and I is the waitress was friendly the crook was not I am a diabetic who needs to service animals I tried to explain to them that he was a must here for everybody and have dollars credential however they wouldn't even take the time to look at them the cook rolled his eyes and kind of walked away from me when he gave me my food and no one stop to ask me how my food was nothing made me feel not very welcoming so I don't know how I feel about going to eat there again”

“Garmin gps is accurate. Look for the Truck Entrance sign. The turn into the entrance is tight and narrow. No staging area. No overnight parking nearby. Stop at the guard shack to check in. Guard assigned a door immediately. You don't go into the office. They come out to you. Open doors, move tandems. They put on a red line gladhand lock. They asked me to unhook and bt outside the gate for safety reasons. Or...I could give them my key. I don't like dropping a trailer because the loaders drive 5 mph into the trailer. The truck gives more stability and there is no strain on the landing gear. Also, if the redline is locked, how could I move the trailer? Anyway, loaded and departed in 2 hours. Remember to pre-cool before arriving.”

“Such pleasant workers and efficient service. It is really a nice place to dine in and the food is always delicious.”

“Ordered 20 sliders, got in approximately 5 minutes. Delicious. Inside was clean, staff were friendly and professional. Probably the best ran and employed white Castle I've been to in a decade.”

“When in Saint Paul my fantem likes a no onion, no pickles and no bun beef patty so I get my cheese sticks , maybe a cheese slider for me, and we both happy, and yes yes it's a cat with me,”

“The customer service here is nicer than chick fil a and that’s a tough one to beat ! 💪🏽”

“I actually ordered off Uber Eats and got the Cajun CHX Mac and cheese. The chicken was a little over cooked and heavily seasoned and the pasta was cooked to perfection and really tasted delicious. Honestly if the meat was diced and mixed in with the pasta this would have been an amazing dish, instead I was served a whole chicken breast with the macaroni. Not the worst thing in the world, the flavors were spot on and I think this place has been making better food than some of the reviews from 1-3 years ago suggest. If the chicken was cut up and mixed in this would be a five star review.”

“Made some modifications and that kind of seemed to throw off the people working. Charged for BBQ sauce I didn't get. Also, their new Rodeo Whopper was really good. I ordered the combo, but maybe I didn't order it correctly because it had 1 burger patty but the menu showed double. Not my favorite trip to BK, but it was fine enough, I suppose.”

“Keep in mind the inside of the store is not open 24 hours, just the drive-thru. I recommend dining inside if you can though, the staff are hard-working and helpful. The soda machine has lots of different options, you can get a pineapple sprite for instance. The clientele that frequent the establishment are interesting characters, it makes for good people watching with it's proximity to the light rail.”

“The spring time panko fish sandwich was delicious, absolutely fresh and so good. Had a long drive thru line and a unhoused person standing right on the drive thru pavilion who was struggling with some sort of current drug use.”

“i ordered a 10 piece nuggets and a large iced caramel coffee. the order was ready fairly quickly and was pretty much exactly as i expected. the size of interior made it feel crowded, but it was a location that only served takeout so that's pretty much bound to happen. all-in-all a decent mcdonald's visit, no complaints.”

“The Thursday afternoon staff was amazing, came by around 8pm and got an exceptional service. The staff was very kind and brought the food to me. Keep up the good work”

“Enjoyed the Bacon Double Stack Biggie Bag this Sunday December 22, 2019 at the Suburban Avenue Saint Paul Wendy's. An enjoyable, affordable meal :)”

“Great place, just wish there were more people and the service was faster. Was stuck in the drive through for 10 minutes after putting in my order at 3 am. Just wish it was faster”

“Best bar in town for things European and off the beaten path. Absolutely amazing selection! Not a full kitchen/restaurant but very far from the minimum. Everything they have to eat is high quality. Very nice employees and great atmosphere.”

“Love this place. A true East Side gem. We have tried the Burgers, Shawarma wrap and bowls totally addicting. Chicken tenders are a hit and don't forget the Gyros they are awesome. Ice cream better than the DQ. Try to visit there one a week. The owners are lovely, very friendly.”

“Great place to hang out before your flight! Andy is a fantastic bartender. Shrimp tacos were excellent.”

“Fresh seasonal flavors that are constantly becoming new favorites. I love that everything is a very hands on and not crazy processed like most foods. Try oatmeal cookie or grasshopper if you can.”

“Everytime We come to bole, the service is always excellent and the food is delicious.”

“St. Paul legend! Some of the best ice cream in the city. This place is definitely one of those spots that is a neighborhood and family tradition for a lot of people. They have so many options and even hot food. The menu is huge and will have something for everyone.”

“I tried Trieu Chau for the first time today I had the Bahn Mi. Absolutely fantastic the best bread ever and grilled pork!!! super fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to come back. I live about an hour and a half north of Duluth. If they brought this type of food up by us, they’d be a millionaire overnight nobody is making quality Vietnamese food.!!!!!!!!”

“always tasty and quality. love the friendly and quick staff. Vietnamese coffee can be too sweet for me but they'll adjust it for you.”

“Super friendly workers. Delicious and beautifully prepared food. Immaculate dining room. They also do take out. You won’t be disappointed!!”

“Freaking amazing classic hand scooped ice cream. Crazy flavors and highly recommend the "This $&@! Just Got Crazy"... yea, its that good.We also got to meet the owners too. This is truly the local small business experience you should be supporting. You just have to stop by and see for yourself.”

“Great place with great owners who are real team players!”

“Absolutely delicious! 5 stars! ☺️”

“Friendly staff, fast service, clean atmosphere & there’s always good music being played. I am obsessed with the gai rolls! So delicious! If you haven’t had them please get them! I definitely recommend trying this place at least once, you’ll definitely be back though.”

“Best halibut & shrimp ever!”

“Everything!! Food and service is amazing. ❤️”

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫”

“We stopped for brunch. It was amazing. We told Mike the owner we were in a rush. He was amazing. Food also was delicious. Staff told me later, they all agree he’s the best boss anyone has ever had. Thanks, Mike. It was a pleasure to dine with you. We stopped by later and they had just closed at 2 PM. But they even offered us coffee to go. We’ll be back. Great restaurant, great people!”

“I will recommend king Cajun to the people in Saint Paul I tried it and it is perfect”

“The BEST donut I've ever had! Hubby brought home two Blackberry Bliss to enjoy with our morning coffees; we savored every bite! Delicious!”

“Skinner's did an amazing job catering our U of M Employee Appreciation event...EVERYONE was Happy. Thank you!”

“What a super adorbs & Charming coffee shop that feels straight out of Paris. The inside is absolutely beautiful from the aged brick, beautiful vintage tiles, arched ceilings, beautiful lighting, large windows & cozy atmosphere. The smell of coffee just greets you the second you walk in. It was busy- lots of people loves Nina’s. My oat milk iced latte was SO good. Very delicious espresso to oat milk balance.”

“Came here two days in a row! Highly recommend the cold whisk matcha and the strawberry.

Can’t speak on the other flavors as it seems like more of a dessert drink and not for me.”

“Traveled to St. Paul from Maryland for a graduation, found this hidden gem. It was a great experience, the food was phenomenal. Make sure you check this place out. Food was great, service was pretty good as well. If it's your first time there, it's a little confusing trying to figure out how to maneuver through the cafeteria. The atmosphere is also a lot of fun make sure you check out the market. Mangia mangia”

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰”

“That fresh juice 🔥! I tried it at a Black Market event”

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳”

“This is the best Thai food around! I’ve never been disappointed in the food, and the service is always amazing. Super fast pick up times for take out, and a beautiful patio for summer. This is my ultimate favorite St. Paul restaurant. Don’t miss out on this gem. Menu highlights for me are Pad Krapao, Laab Isaan, curry fried rice and Pad Woon Sen! 😋”

“This is Macklemore bar, and I called him the Great, king of purple, and so did you. And you are allowed to pop the text to see how much shit costs Tevin and I can tell you for a certain that my nephew Deven would kill a Man for me. If I asked him too, but he’s such a nice man and the best father to his sons. I don’t doubt for one second that too tall is on this team.”

“Outstanding as usual!! Fabulous!”

“Food was good. The owner was very nice, and friendly service for kids. Had Dahi Puri after a long time.”

“Love the silo as the taproom and what an amazing patio. We were only going to do for one but the place was so cool and the beer was great, we ended up spending the afternoon.”

“Loved Hey Bear. They had a really great egg biscuit sandwhich. I'd usually get the chorizo breakfast burrito. It was all so well priced, filling, and tasted great.

They announced a temporary closure starting July 3rd while they reworked the menu and potentially renovated. But I stopped by just last week and the sign explaining the closure had been removed. The large sign and tarp covering the windows had also been removed. In its place was an open sign and a completely unrelated restraunt with no branding.

Hey Bear has been radio silent since they announced the closing and it seems like they are gone for good. Extremely unfortunate. The area really benefited from a good to-go breakfast spot. My commute to work is now lacking a good breakfast option. Very sad to see them go so silently. What seemed like a break turned into a sudden closure.”

“We had a party of 16 at short notice who needed to be accommodated and we were very well attended to. Little Oven Staff knocked it out of the park! Thank you all!”

“Fantastic beers, love it 🍻🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased”

“My favorite coffee shop in town. Lovely baristas who know my order before I even get to the counter. My child is always so excited to go there on the weekends. Plus, their dedication to kindness, justice, and inclusiveness in our community is inspiring.”

“Cute retro vibe ice cream parlor, young crew had great energy. Ice Cream was creamy and good amount of toppings. Cool it's connected to a pizza place its a great combination.”

“Best food in twin The Twin Cities - The sabich is 100 - Bagels and schmear are fire - Once they make jachnun ill move in”

“Great flavor in the burger, nice waiter, unique place. Eat downstairs, you'll love it.”

“Absolutely lovely restaurant and a must-visit when visiting the twin cities. Love the atmosphere and kind staff. Try the fancy hummus and grab some baklava to take home.”

“The owner is so friendly and food is AMAZING!! Coming from a Mexican this is authentic Mexican food. Seasoning is authentic and you can literally taste it, food is fresh. Highly recommend eating here”

“Icy Cup is doing it right! It’s not just amazing ice cream, it is a community hub! Whether it’s the farmers markets or the Tuesday night jams, Icy Cup is supporting artists and the community it serves. Thank you to Icy Cup! My favorite treat is the churro sundae but everything is good!”

“The Mongolian Beef noodles were absolutely perfect”

“Good chips and salsa at a reasonable price”

“Always delicious! A real treat.”

“Always enjoy the juicy chicken tenders from Nashville Coop. First time visiting their food truck since 2020. Still as good as I remember with the same quality as their brick and mortar locations. All kinds of spicy levels are covered here so it’s something everyone can enjoy. So far I’ve tried MN Nice, Mini Coop, Coop, and Growlin’, all solid choices depending on my mood. The Texas toast, dipping sauce, fries, and pickles all elevate the chicken tenders.”

“Went here for the first time 3/11/26. I'm just going to say the experience was amazing. Food was fantastic service was top notch very friendly staff. the lovely lady at the door greeted us with a perfect smile (loved her hair) definitly will visit again”

“Absolutely the worst service. This is affiliated with University Club of Saint Paul notoriously known for terrible service. No attention to detail. We were served the wrong food. The service was significantly delayed and the food was mediocre at best. Don’t spend your money here until they fix this problem.”

“Best restaurant in St Paul, food is amazing and service was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.”

“I am Sue's sister and she is telling me you are listening to the same pod casters as we are. I wish we could meet. Exciting times! Keep the faith. Q=17! God is in control! Someday we will meet.”

“Best pupusas I have had! So GOOD! The wait staff is friendly , the food is hot and delicious. The ( I don’t know what it is called- but it’s cabbage with jalapeños and some sort of yummy sauce. Is delicious! It makes the pupusas even better! The cheese is as melted perfectly- mmmm so good! Check them out!”

“King Boreas (aka: Peter Kenefick) and his staff know how to run a Friendly/Welcoming Restaurant - great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere - ALWAYS!”

“Had many more dishes on the iron range”

“Shake Shack is my new favorite fast food burger. I've taken 2 flights out of MSP lately and gotten this great burger. The same older black woman was at the counter both times and she was so sweet and kind it improved the experience. 5 stars, will be back.”

“Good service and good coffee. The owner recognized me on the second time i came in and already knew what I wanted. He is friendly and engages me in conversation when there are no other customers waiting.”

“Myself and my fiancé are from Northern Minnesota and were there in July of last year. There were a couple of minor issues with our visit that day, but the food was delightful. Our server suggested that the manager may want to speak with me in regard to our experience, given the nature of the issues that occurred, so I left my business card and honestly forgot about it, as it wasn't that big of a deal to me. Some time later I received a letter at my office from the manager (I found out later that she's actually the owner.) She sent me a check to refund the cost of our meal, along with a very nice note of explanation and apology. The refund was way above and beyond what was necessary or expected. She took full responsibility for the issues that we had experienced at her establishment that day in July. She also asked for another opportunity to serve us the next time that we were in the area. This was a very classy (but unexpected) response to what I would consider to be something that wasn't that big of a deal to me, but it clearly was to her. Given the high standards that she clearly demonstrated for her establishment, there was no doubt that I would honor her request for a second opportunity. This last Saturday we were finally in town again and were able to visit the Basil Café for a second time. We had an absolutely delightful experience in every regard! After our meal, I asked the pleasant young lady that was checking on us if the manager happened to be in on a Saturday. Well, that turned out to be her! Her name is Tiffany, and she is the owner of the Basil Café. I introduced myself to her and she not only remembered the letter that she had sent and the small issues that occurred on our previous visit, but she also remembered my full name from memory!!! We had a very nice conversation and she sent us home with some extra spring rolls that we enjoyed at home later that evening. Tiffany, I also run a business, and the way that you treated us and handled that situation is an impressive lesson in customer service and leadership. You didn't just recover us as customers, you created 2 raving fans of your business through your actions and demeanor along with your wonderful cuisine. You easily could have brushed off the initial experience that we had last year. And, while we weren't upset about it, we likely wouldn't have thought to ever return to your establishment if you had. Instead, you held yourself and your wonderful restaurant to a higher standard, and you made 2 raving fans that will return again and again and will recommend your establishment at every opportunity. Tiffany, thank you for a wonderful dining experience and thank you for a refreshing attitude and demonstration of personal responsibility that you so impressively gave. That level of service and attention to detail is rare in our world today. BTW, the Drunken Noodles are delicious and so are the Spring rolls. We will see you again soon. - Jake & E.”

“First timers and we were blown out of the water! Staff was so attentive and knowledgeable! Food was fresh, cooked perfectly and savory! The LOBSTER MAC WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can’t wait to come back! Will made amazing bourbon recommendations in the bar and surpassed every expectation we had for our first visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Food was good. The owner was very nice, and friendly service for kids. Had Dahi Puri after a long time.”

“The food is great the drinks were good and service was impeccable. the architecture, the history and the furnishings are really neat the artwork on the walls are very unique”

“I had a delivery order, it came fresh, and still hot, the breggsfast pizza is delicious, 1st time trying that one! My initial order arrived with Coke instead of diet and they sent a driver with the correct drinks! Always fantastic customer service!!”

“Had a really great experience at the Escape Lounge at MSP. The lounge itself is comfortable, clean, and a great place to relax before a flight, but what really stood out was Tirhas.

She has such a warm, positive energy and genuinely elevated the entire experience. You can tell when someone is simply doing their job versus when they truly care about making people feel welcome, and Tirhas absolutely does. Her friendliness, attitude, and presence made the lounge feel especially inviting.

Employees like Tirhas are what turn a good experience into a memorable one. Huge shoutout to her. She is a real asset to this lounge.”

“Great flavor in the burger, nice waiter, unique place. Eat downstairs, you'll love it.”

“the blackened fish tacos and broccoli was superb, delicious and absolutely to come eat more!! the raspberry chocolate bar dessert make you wanna shout !!!”

“My salmon was cooked perfectly, the smoothie was rich and delicious and the staff are wonderfully prompt and provide clear and easy going communication. I know the pasties are also the best in the twin cities, the baked goods are top shelf and mouthwatering as well. If you are in the twin cities metro area I cannot recommend the Finnish bistro enough. Ms.Wise runs a beautiful and clean establishment with great food and even live music some nights. Come here, you will not regret it!”

“Absolutely lovely restaurant and a must-visit when visiting the twin cities. Love the atmosphere and kind staff. Try the fancy hummus and grab some baklava to take home.”

“Great place with great owners who are real team players!”

Our family was visiting from Duluth, Mn and would be honored to have them in our city someday! Job well done! Thank you for having us!!”

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!”

“Love this place highly recommend it to everyone. We just had a multi family member birthdays and as always it was awesome. For the style of restaurant it is, surprisingly still very affordable.”

“Ok, I stopped to get some donuts to handout to my community members (WI) and the staff was so KIND!!! The owner overheard me apparently and sent me with a BOX full of delish goods. I of course had to sample these. You guys….. (sigh) the.most. Moist. Cake donut I’ve EVER had. Idk what flavor I had but it was a gentle spice and amazing, with a homemade chocolate frosting…. So so yummy!!! I’m certain all those that received this goodness, Enjoyed! Can’t wait to come back…. (And I won’t forget the sourdough! 😘) thanks you guys!!!! You’re the sweetest!!!”

“Super cozy atmosphere and love the tasty Kava drinks ! Kava is a great way to relax with your friends and they have games and other themed nights I’ve noticed which keeps evenings interesting. Definitely love this trend and hope they open another closer to the cities.”

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖”

“I went there two times back to back . If you don't want to cook and want to eat something yummy but taste like home cooked, not much oily but tastey then this the write place for you ambiance is nice and cool. Food is tasty .
I would recommend to people visit this place.”

“The beverages are very good and the eats are delicious! Also the cats in the Den are awesome. And, one more thing, the decor is nothing short of amazing!”

“THE BEST!!!”

“Exceptional cracker crust pizza. The momos are great and the selection of sauces compliment them very well. Friendly staff and food comes out quickly. Very happy to have this place in the neighborhood!”

“Super friendly staff and great food! My partner is from california and has been craving hawaiian bbq for ages so having this place nearby is a godsend. Highly recommend!”

“We love going there on winter and rainy days. Great place for getting out of the house and meeting other kids. Snacks are reasonably priced. The only thing I would change is they offer peanut butter sandwiches. As a mom of a kid with a nut allergy, I always feel kind of on edge about if a child has eaten the peanut butter sandwich and then not washed their hands and then it’s gotten on a toy that my kid will play with and then my kiddo will have a reaction. Or I’m constantly looking around at what kids are eating and if I have to ask my kid to watch out or the other kid if they can wash their hands. Now I totally get that the world does not revolve around my kiddos (and others) allergies, but at the same time there are a lot of kiddos with nut allergies (and most of them are anaphylactic) that it would be nice to have a sunflower butter or an almond butter instead of peanut butter. Both of these can be true at the same time. Anyway, great place to go, good prices on snack, but wished they didn’t have pb&j sandwiches”

“The churros are an absolute must. I've yet to find anywhere else in the metro area that serves hot fresh churros, and their's are absolutely fantastic”

“Absolutely delicious gelato! The chocolate was so rich and I had it with the hazelnut flavor, perfect combo. The games were fun too and my husband won me a stuffed capybara. We’ll definitely go back! 😊”

“We moved to the neighborhood right after Aubergine opened and couldn’t be more thrilled to live just a couple of blocks away. The food and staff are truly amazing, and it’s the perfect spot for a full dinner in their beautiful dining room or just a cocktail or glass of wine at the bar. Plus, the staff really knows their wine!”

“Talk about amazing people! I had the mango moss and it did not disappoint! They were so kind and helpful and not to mention so patient with my kids. Love love love”

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.”

“The team at the Highland Park St. Paul location is exceptional! Every staff member was warm, welcoming and genuinely engaged. The energy in the restaurant was so positive that I actually hadn’t planned to stay and eat, but the environment pulled me in.

It was honestly fun to watch the team together so seamlessly - welcoming and chatting with each guest while simultaneously prepping, building sandwiches, cooking, checking out customers, and keeping the space clean. Everyone seemed to move through each part of the process with such ease and attentiveness, and it created a really enjoyable atmosphere.

And of course my sandwich was perfect and delicious! Huge shoutout to this team! You can tell they take pride in what they do!”
