    It was Easter and pouring rain but it was so nice and cozy with the fireplace inside. We ordered a Caesar salad and a spinach salad to start and both were delicious. We chose the Woodfired NY strip steak with house made steak sauce and the tenderloin with compound butter. Both were cooked to perfection and were so tasty. The house made steak sauce was exceptional. Service was wonderful and we will definitely go back.

    Had Easter breakfast and it was wonderful. Fair prices. Our waiter was excellent and all other staff very nice. They had a piano player in the background that I loved also. Have been there many times and I have to say it is one of the nicer restaurants in St. Paul. I recommend it highly.

    Had a wonderful first time experience at this restaurant. Was greeted warmly by staff, given a specific table requested by the fireplace on a chilly night, the service was excellent as was the food. We will be back again soon!
