The worst service that I have ever had. The beer taps were all broken, found dirty dinner plate under the table, had to ask for drink refills, not writing the drinks down for refill and getting them wrong, things are on the menu that they dont serve any more. Horrible Horrible Horrible. I do not Recommend!

This restaurant use to be one of the best in St. Paul. It has been sold and new ownership has not kept up to the old standards of this place. Been there twice in the last year. First time after new ownership everything was awful. Last Friday night things were better but not the same as several years ago. Food... More

We had the Walleye Almondine and it was super. Perfectly prepared and served hot. The service was excellent. The restaurant was full of happy eaters!

We were in the Twin Cities visiting the Textile Center on University Ave and it was lunch time. I took my wife to The Lexington .... going in the back door. I like to use that entrance because of the parking lot and because all the people that i have taken to this restaurant using the back door entrance think... More

Stopped in after a SPCO concert for a late night snack and beverage. The atmosphere was subdued but the service was great. We found the food to be slightly above average and reasonably priced. We are glad we stopped in and will probably do so again.

I just love this place. Haven't actually been in a long time, but it's such a landmark there on Grand avenue. A great place for any special occasion you might have.

This charming St. Paul landmark has been around since before i was a twinkle in my folks eyes. A clubby type bar with leather and rich deep woods, a place in St. Paul for movers and shakers. The dining room is huge! Ask for seat in the bar. A place to sit back and take in the St. Paul side... More

Sunday brunch earlier this month sounded like a good idea at this turn-of-the-last century restaurant. Unfortunately 3 out of the 4 breakfast orders came out seriously undercooked, all of which were egg-based. The manager offered to replace all three meals, but at that point our appetites were fading. She did remove one order from the bill, but we left feeling... More
