Best Lunch Restaurants in Highland Park

Great service and nice food Always a nice evening

Met a business colleague there for lunch and was impressed. Lots of light made the space feel open and airy. Menu was diverse. I chose the meatloaf which was a daily lunch feature and my friend had the Reuben which he said was excellent and looked amazing. The meatloaf was very good and a large portion. I would come back for happy hour to see who the restaurant draws in the evening.

Everything was great, the waiter was too. The cook was a bit messy, food was flying everywhere. I've been to multiple Teppian-style restaurants and the order on which he cooked the food was not good. Normally the food would be cooked together with some placed on different sides of the grill. As the rice is being prepared the other items are slowly cooked until they are brought to the middle of the grill for completion. By the time the other food items were done at this location, the rice was a little cold.

The upscale atmosphere and impeccable service made our lunch delightful. The menu offered many interesting options, and we all enjoyed our delicious meal.

This is a very underrated breakfast experience in the Twin Cities. You can park for free with a validation and have a very quiet, mellow brunch with a breakfast cocktail and not get the side-eye on a weekday morning. I work overnights and 72 hour shifts. It’s really a treat to go here to decompress in a benign space after an extended shift. The food is superlative, French inspired; indulgent, but not gutbusting. The waitstaff are outstanding and top-notch. Kind of hate to share this review because it’s my secret!
