We were excited to try this spot out but unfortunately we were a bit disappointed. The salad and squash were good! We didn’t like the pork pasta dish and service felt a bit rushed. I also found a piece of plastic in my cocktail.
I think we probably ordered wrong and I’m sure the cocktail issue was a fluke. Give it a shot if you like the vibe and the menu sounds good.
Wow! This is just an easy 10 out of 10 straight across-the-board! One of my new favorites, if not my new favorite! We sat at the bar, such a great atmosphere especially being able to watch the kitchen a little bit. Thomas, who I believe was the manager was fantastic and you can tell it is a really well ran establishment. And everyone that works there actually looked happy! Our bartender/server was amazing and the food was just spectacular! Sooooo good. Thank you thank you!

The food is delicious here! Incredible care is put into each meal and they come up with unique and tasty food combinations. Service is great and it's a really nice atmosphere. Also, they can accommodate most allergies, even when severe!
My friend and I had a fantastic meal here for dinner. I want to bring so many of my foodie friends back.
We were sat immediately for our 2 person reservation, which is what I like to have happen for a reso! Good job to them on that!
The lighting was on point - not too dark but a really nice low dinner ambiance. The decor is clean but welcoming, and the shape of the bar inside really makes the whole dining room pop. You get a peek into the kitchen from the dining room, but in a good way. I could see the line cooks tasting from spoons as they cooked, which is such a good sign. If a chef/cook is tasting as they go, I know they are salting the dishes appropriately and I can expect the culinary experience I'm wanting.
The seasonal full proof cocktail I had was delicous. Perfectly balanced and very well executed overall.
The ricotta toast, gorgonzola crispy potatoes, and creste de gallo pasta were all very good. The white puttanesca was nice too, but I think for what you're paying and me wanting a dining out experience, there are more interesting options that I wouldn't make at home (which is part of the appeal of going out!).
I'm always a little skeptical of a newer restaurant, but this left me knowing they have great management so far and an executive chef and bar manager that know what they're doing.
I wish I had some photos but I was having such a good time I didn't have my phone out.
A truly wonderful dining experience! The server, David, was outstanding in his explanations and recommendations. It was perfect for our date! I promise, we'll be back!

The food here was one of the best experiences in Saint Paul. I loved everything we got. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Can’t wait to try the other side sometime. Seems like they have two separate restaurants. The service was great for valentine day. I think the owner was there and checked on everything.
