• Steak • Roseville
Booked 148 times today
If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 8 or more.

Price: Expensive
• American • Saint Paul
Booked 38 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.

• Mexican • Saint Paul

Boca Chica Mexican Restaurant has served the flavorful, authentic cuisine of Mexico since 1964. It was then that Guillermo and Gloria Frias opened the doors to their new restaurant that seated only 28 patrons. Today, Boca Chica has grown substantially and is rated "one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities," according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s March 2018 issue.The authenticity of the food is maintained by making everything from scratch, the old-fashioned way, with fresh ingredients. Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

    Not that impressed. Music way too loud. Salad was great, meat was wonderful, server Shawn/Sean (Not sure) attentive, friendly, very good. Sides way over priced. Spicy Lobster mac & cheese, too spicy, 4 little pieces of lobster. Mushrooms were ok. My fillet done to perfection. Both of my Brandy Manhattans were watery.

    Initial inspection was pleasant. When you enter the restaurant, you'll see it's well appointed with mostly natural materials (namely stone walls, funky glass vases, and a very pretty open kitchen). The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The only low was the filet tenderloin. While the sauce was delicious, and the visual was amazing, the meat itself didn't quite make the mark. Otherwise, the appetizers and desert were all amazing and performed. In the end, I would highly recommend this as a great fine-ish (not quite casual, not quite fine dining) dining experience.

    Our Valentine's Day evening was perfect at Kincaid's. Our salmon and Chilean sea bass were perfectly cooked, moist, and brought to our table hot. Seasoning and sauces were perfectly balanced. The molten chocolate cake and the apple crumble desserts were wonderful as well. And over all the years Kincaid's still provides the best margarita in town. Thanks to Diego for his menu recommendations, and the rest of the top-notch service. We will be back soon!

    I am in a wheelchair normally. We arrived with a reservation during a snowstorm. There was handicapped parking listed on the website and it was open and easy to use right by the valet parking. My husband went in and they seated us right away in a very handicapped accessible area. I did not need to use my wheelchair it was so nice. The wait staff is superb. The bar staff really knew their stuff. Wish more wines on the menu that were not from California. The food was superb. This is a very special occasion restaurant my family has been to for years for family birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries. It never disappoints. It was hard when they closed to remodel but when they reopened, we were back and it was a beautiful space. My family was in St. Paul. We are in Cambridge and we still drive there.
