Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in South St. Paul

It was our first visit to Crasqui and we thought is was wonderful! It's absolutely an unique and tasty dining experience! All the dishes were distinctive and delicious. We loved our cocktails too. The ambience and service were also great. We definitely recommend this restaurant to others who are looking for something new in the Twin Cities.

We went on a Sunday for lunch with my parents. My mom doesn’t eat meat and she loved the salad bar options. She also got salmon cooked to order. We had the standard menu and had a wonderful array of meat choices. The service was excellent! The staff was attentive and asked us what we wanted more of (meat selection). We will definitely come back!

We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer, very tasty! We both ordered the Rib-eye, I ordered garlic mashed potatoes with it and he ordered the horseradish mashed potatoes. Our meals got switched. So I got his potatoes. I didn’t even notice, just thought they were bland. Apparently there was horseradish placed on it in the middle. I asked my boyfriend how his potato’s were and he said they were good. I asked him to try mine….he got a mouthful of horseradish, probably no potatoes, haha. That’s when we figured out the switch up on the potatoes. Not a big deal, we just laughed it off. I didn’t get to try the garlic mashed, they must have been good cause there were none left on my boyfriend’s plate lol. Anyway, the sauce that comes with it was so amazing! It was like a garlic cream sauce. I am still craving more! It was good on the steak, veggies and potatoes. The steak was very good quality and cooked to Medium Rare perfection. Definitely worth the $55 each. Our waiter, Clayton, was so professional and excellent. Overall a very pleasant experience! I’m sure we will be back in the future.

I just wrote a review last week, but I have to let you know how wonderful the superfood salad was!!! It is great that something so nutritious can taste so good. My friend’s burger and my other friend’s turkey cranberry sandwich was also delicious. They both love the French fries, it was difficult to resist not eating some as they were willing to share. Our service was fantastic as well. Thank you, Jan Doepner PS. It was good to see the restaurant well attended, I think people are starting to discover what a treasure it is.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Had recommendations. We had a great night out!
