• American • Saint Paul

Booked 56 times today

The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

Our server Benjamin was phenomenal from start to finish. My fiance and both have worked in the industry for years, in Boston, Nantucket and Aspen and he is the best server we have ever had. The food was excellent, the vibes, top notch and the photo booth was so much fun!

I have been here a couple times and both experiences were outstanding. A little higher priced than most, but I think it is well worth the extra cost. The Chicken Marsala is to die for. Best I have ever eaten, hands down. It is my go to dish, but I am sure everything is good on the menu. Enjoy!!

Although extremely busy, our reservations for 6 were readily handled. Wide selection of wines, beer and cocktails; ours were enjoyable. Wait staff was professional, skilled, and graciously satisfied all special requests. Food, especially our turkey dinners, we're delectable. I recommend The Lexington for any special event or delicious meal prepared better than homemade. Thanks for working on Thanksgiving!
