“Incredible and perfect food“

“Highly recommend Holman's Table for events - it's a perfect gem of a space, great for corporate events, special dinners & happy hours, intimate weddings and more. Great service and food was delish.“

“Best place in the twin cities for vegans, vegetarians, and big time carnivores to eat together and be totally satisfied with the many great options available to each of them. Always shocked by how reasonable the check is too!“

“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“

“Amazing! We stopped here for our first time for pre-event drinks with our friends. We anticipated having one cocktail and being on our way, but were instead treated to something more akin to an experience! The GM greeted us and took our order and made sure we got to try more than just our drinks. A whole story about finding someone to re-tie my husband’s bow tie turned into a hilarious challenge for most of the staff. Even to the point that the assistant GM was going to drive to Von Maur while we finished our drinks (we declined..but wow). What kind of place does this!? Our cocktails were amazing, the charcuterie plate was delicious (the jam, honey, and cheese…just wow). But most of all, the staff made everything so memorable. We’ve never experienced anything like this! We will be back soon for a full dinner. Thank you for making our night so enjoyable!“

“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!“

“Love the atmosphere and food, and we love sitting in Lauren S’s section. Always happy and helpful!!“

“If anyone would like a good restaurant to eat at I would suggest going to the North Pole restaurant in Newport Minnesota. The staff are nice and when you ask them for something they will get it for you right away.“

“Great music in an old school club.“

“It was awesome! The service was great! Staff went out of their way to accommodate all 11 of us! Everyone that works there seemed happy and ready to help! I graded a 4 on food..only because out of PERSONAL preference I didn't like my food, BUT someone else at our table had the same thing and LOVED IT! And a 3 for atmosphere because it was a bit loud and hard to visit ..but again that's a personal preference...Would we go back?MOST DEFINITELY“

“If you’re searching for a place that turns dinner into a full-blown experience, Forepaugh’s in Saint Paul is it. We recently indulged in their curated Date Night menu, and from the first bite to the last spoonful of dessert, every dish exceeded our expectations. We started with the Fried Calamari, perfectly crisped and golden, served with a fennel saffron aioli that added just the right touch of brightness and complexity. It was a strong opening — light, flavorful, and gone far too quickly. Next came the Orecchiette, a pasta dish that somehow managed to be both comforting and elevated. The duck sausage was rich and deeply savory, while the broccoli rabe and Calabrian chile added balance with just enough bitterness and heat to keep the bite interesting. For mains, we shared the Petite Filet Surf & Turf and the Roasted Sea Bass — and honestly, I couldn’t tell you which one was better. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender, paired with a buttery lobster reduction that made each bite luxurious. Meanwhile, the sea bass was delicate and beautifully cooked, served over a creamy taro risotto that was both inventive and satisfying. The flowering cauliflower added a perfect seasonal, earthy crunch. And then came the showstopper — Baked Alaska. This dessert was nothing short of theatrical in flavor and presentation. The strawberry semifreddo layered with vanilla meringue and olive oil cake was both light and indulgent, ending our night on the sweetest high note imaginable. The ambiance was warm and romantic, the service was polished yet friendly, and the pace of the meal allowed us to savor each course without feeling rushed. At $150 per couple, this Date Night experience felt like a steal for the level of quality, creativity, and care that went into every plate. Forepaugh’s isn’t just a place to eat — it’s where memories are made. Five stars, hands down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“

“First time at Crave in Rosedale. This was a birthday lunch for my daughter-in-law and the food and service were great. I use a power wheelchair and the table was in the front and very accessible. The only drawback is two sets of heavy entry doors. We traveled separately and arrived at different times but fortunately another patron helped me in.“

“A few times a year, I make a detour on the way to work for avocado toast with an egg and the fruit cup. I do not know how they do it, but every time the fruit cup is delicious. It also looks beautiful. Yes, lunch is amazing here, but don't sleep on breakfast. 😅“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“5 stars is not nearly enough stars for this place. I have celiac disease (severe wheat/gluten allergy) and when I saw gluten free cheese curds and gluten free fried pickles on the menu, I about cried. I haven’t had cheese curds or fried pickles at a sports bar since I was diagnosed 11 years ago. Their food is absolutely incredible- something you normally wouldn’t expect from a place like this. I’m so grateful to whoever created the menu!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options! Designated fryer for the fried items listed as gluten free!“

“Absolutely loved this place! Came here yesterday; and it has a really cool vibe. The bar is in the back of a restaurant and the overall vibe is very chill and upscale. Their alcohol list is insane! There’s over 100s of options and choices to choose from. I ordered a whiskey sour with parm fries and my experience was absolutely amazing. I would absolutely return! Also, the bartender working was absolutely amazing!! The drinks he made were delicious.“

“Wings are very good. Onion Rings to go are terrible. Greasy and cold. (It almost seemed like they gently warmed up yesterday's leftover onion rings). I have ordered onion rings in the restaurant before and they were hot and crisp.“

“My husband and I were there for lunch today. The cooks were great and the Tuscan Flatbread and bacon cheeseburger sliders (Hubby) were so good. We had a nice conversation with I believe he was the manager and the server were so awesome. I will be sure to visit again soon.“

“Very demure ambiance. Not your average hotel bar. Bartenders are interactive, music choice is appropriate for all ages. Drinks come quick and go down easy. Clean restrooms, clean tables, clean bar, other patrons are respectful and friendly. Struggling to leave and check out other venues in the area, hard to one up this establishment.“

“One of the nicest kept golf courses in the Twin Cites.“

“We had a 6:15 PM reservation. I only waited a minute before they sat us down.  Our server Natalie was very pleasant and you could tell she was working hard to take care of us. I had a three course special for $39 included in the crave starter salad, halibut and tiramisu. Everything was delicious. “

“Wow! Like stepping into an elegant dream. I don't normally like lobster, but I could down those lobster deviled eggs all day! Be sure to order a Fitzgerald and plan on spending some time here just taking it all in.“

“First time there. Stopped to pick up their Friday night fish fry to go. Plenty of food for 2. The back room had a country western band that was loud and no decor with a cement floor and plastic rectangular church basement tables in rows. The fish fry was OK, lots of sides - Cole slaw (tasty but heavy on dressing), greens beans (canned, overcooked and my husband was disappointed they had onions mixed in), garlic mashed potatoes or a baked potato, Texas toast and choice of 3 flavors of pudding. I got the mashed potatoes and although they were garlicky enough, I can see why most people went with the baked potato with an add your own sour cream option. Ok, but not exciting enough to go back for take out and definitely wouldn't want to eat in.“

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

“Great Happy Hour! Food is always good.“

“Great food Chef Isaac! �“

“because Cubfoods hires and stands behind people who abuse their customers.“

“Very high quality food. Steak was amazing and the salad was fantastic. Portions were great for the pricing. Lots of places now have poor salads and this place had an amazing salad. Very fresh and great mixed greens. Great service and easy parking. Would come back again and again.“

“Too expensive for what you get. Food was good but nothing fancy like the price reflected. Can get very loud as with our experience being seated in the same room as a large award recognition party. Service was good. Very cool old space with lots of history.“

“Consistently quality food great popular atmosphere and is extremely well run and comfortably clean! I will be back again & again“

“Went at 9pm for date night.
This place restores the soul. Beauty abounds. Crisp Nightcap rocks.
Thoughtful NA options.

3 deviled eggs, not 4? Boohoo. Burger is worth at most, $15, not $21.
Bar food is telling me: "You should just eat in the restaurant, you fool!" Not at all bad, not at all great.“

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