Second time I’ve been there. Not impressed either time. The $55 ribeye was more fat than beef. The waitress seemed like she hated her job. Really over priced for the quality of the food. Difficult to find parking. Great ambiance even though we were seated at a table.

First time. We were encouraged by the drink menus (though we were there for breakfast so will have to go back) as they cocktail prices were very reasonable; wine not so much. Breakfast was good. This is a nice place and you won't smell like you were at a Diner for breakfast which if you are like us, means it's not the really greasy breakfast you sometimes crave, but it was very good and we will be back. Especially when catching breakfast before going somewhere and we don't want to stink. Good service too and nice location for just about anything event-wise downtown St. Paul.
