Best Restaurants for Birthdays in St. Louis Park

You can ALWAYS count on the Capital Grille for a flawless evening. We are NEVER disappointed. Although we love exploring the myriad phenomenal and diverse restaurants in The Cities, this is where we go when we want tradition and excellence.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We loved our first visit here. Lively but not too loud, great appetizers and good mains. I wasn’t impressed by the wine list of white ( by the glass overwhelmingly all sav blanc) but Caymus by the glass was good to see. Dessert just order the chocolate. Nice additions with hand cloths and aperitifs. Nice wait staff. We will be back.

All of the staff was friendly and make sure to ask if we needed anything else. It was my and my daughter's first time there and we will definitely be back. Our whole experience there was excellent! Thank you!!!

If you're going to Punchbowl for the food, expect to be disappointed. If you're going because there's an arcade and activities and they just happen to have food too, then it's not too bad. The staff were amazing at being responsive and helpful. 10/10 staff! Chicken & Waffle was pretty unappetizing. Large slab of chicken that was tough and chewy, difficult to cut even with the provided steak knife, waffle was as bland as a two star hotel waffle, and the "hot honey" drizzle was meh. Strawberries weren't too bad but being out of season there were plenty of tough bitter ones. The Hot honey & syrup helped. Burgers were OK. Nothing to write home about, but inoffensive. It's pretty hard to screw up a burger but I've absolutely found places that can do it. Thankfully not here. Fries were thin, crispy but not in the good way, but plenty of them. Think McDonalds fries if they somehow overcooked them significantly. The Pork Belly BLT sandwich was difficult to eat as a sandwich, as the number of toppings inside the sandwich caused all the fillings to just spill out of the somewhat soggy bun. Eating with a fork and knife was the only way to make it through. Decent combo of flavors though. The appetizers were good though. Pretzel bites were very enjoyable. Go for the games, get some appetizers to snack on while playing the arcade cabinets, claw machines, and bowling, and find a better meal elsewhere.

Great service was the theme - Noah was our server and he was wonderful. Attentive, funny and knowledgeable about options. Food was great (as were drinks) - appetizers and dinner. It's been a while since we were there - we'll be back. (Again - Noah made the evening.)
