“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“

“@punchpizza is one of my go to comfort foods. For the good times and the tough times, grabbing a pizza from Punch always does the trick.

Obviously folks know about this place but I still want to highlight them because longtime fan. Fun fact, each location has hidden cat figurines in their restaurants. Generally in the ceilings. My stop tonight was at my local St. Paul location. They have a whopping 12 locations in MN all listed in one of the last photos.

My go to order that won my heart:
Toto (no crushed red pepper, add roasted red pepper)
side of olive oil

Honorable mentions
Punch Salad
Bruni (meat and onion featured in post)
Gorgonzola Salad

When in doubt of what to get, go to Punch. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!“

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

“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.!!!!!!!!“

“Ate here with my two young adult sons. The atmosphere, vibe, seating, music, service and food were all top notch. Very chill, great food and drinks. Saw at least 4 couples on dates, a small group of friends, and a few small families all enjoying themselves. Will definitely go back when in town again!“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Amazing in every way!!! Delicious food was had by all. While they don't have a separate GF menu, they were very accommodating to adjust for several gluten free options to choose from. Shannon L was a delight. Loved the ambiance. Will be back!!“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“Calamari rings are tender and large! Squash red curry (medium spice) was just the right kick. Super tasty! Very clean restaurant and service was friendly.“

“I have been here three times, funny I don’t have photos of the food… it’s that good that it disappears quickly! Every time I have ordered something different, very unlike me as I marry with a certain dish in each restaurant, but here I’ve risk to try something new every time and haven’t regret it! One of the few places that I have been with all my daughters as adults (since we all live in different states)“

“They have some of the nicest staff here. Always working so hard and being thoughtful. I love the atmosphere, plants and always clean in every spot. Would highly recommend any of their coffee drinks :) Also they have a great Celiac/Gluten free menu options!!“

“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.“

“One of the best pizza places around! They always have great food. My sister and I went on a Friday evening, which we knew would be busy. We arrived at our designated time only to find out that they were behind on orders. The first thing I noticed was how hard your employees were working. They looked so overwhelmed and stressed out, but we’re still able to give us great customer service. I saw the order receipts flowing in by the bunches to the point they had to put them in a huge pile on the countertop. Please limit how many people can order per time slot online. Your employees are working so hard for indoor dining as it is.“

“A hidden gem with delicious and budget-friendly options! Very highly recommended!“

“delicious food, wonderful service,“

“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!!“

“Food was very delicious, service was top notch. Would definitely go back to try more of the options. Our Waiter was great and very informative.“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“The best breakfast and coffee in town..“

“The hotel 🏨 was amazing 👏 from the moment we entered till we left“

“I don’t remember which dish my wife and I got but it was delicious. Service was great.👌“

“Pad Thai and spring rolls.“

“Delicious burritos and chips. the Pico is great as well.“

“I went twice during the insane "ICE" terror. First, to support a business then second because the food was excellent. The owner and workers there were so nice and pleasant despite the horror they were living through. I so much hate these gestapo raids on our immigrant communities. The Trump administration and all ice "employees" should be so ashamed of these tactics. They have hurt a lot of families and working people. I wish I had more disposal income to support this restaurant and many others. I definitely will be going back.“

“Very good pizza, 4 stars due to the prices. I'm not afraid to pay for higher quality, but Luce is a few bucks more than it's worth. My wife loves their pizza, so we get it semi-regularly. I usually go pep/sausage/green olive. This time I tried the Elote. Pretty solid but I'll go back to my usual next time. My wife raves about the Athena.“

“The staff went over and beyond for us on Wednesday night. We were having a viewing party for the finale of the show The Floor. They put the show on some of the tvs so we could watch. They were so kind and helpful the whole night. All of us at the party cannot say enough good things about this place. You are so amazing. We can’t thank you enough. We are all FLOORED at how kind you all are. ❤️❤️❤️“

“My daughter and son in law visited Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Everything, with the exception of salad and Tour of Italy was awful. I had Create Pasta with Mushroom Sauce. Terrible watery, no flavor. Daughter had Zupa Toscan which was tasteless and watery. Her entree was Chicken Margarita flavorless with many green peppers on top. Such a disappointment for a reputed good eatery.“

“Some of the best Thai food in St. Paul, and very warm and friendly staff!“

“First time here and what a fantastic experience. I came with my daughter and we both loved everything about it—the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the meals were absolutely fantastic, and the wine menu was excellent. I can’t remember our server’s name, but she’s been serving for 40 years and it showed in the best way possible—professional, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. This was one of those meals where nothing felt rushed and everything just worked. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“So cozy and sweet, delicious food and great service!“

“Fabulous option for takeout, and I love love love their lunch buffet.“
