"Nice Restaurant in a bustling area of St. Paul. I had tenderloin kabobs and they were ultimate tender accompanied with too much rice that was quite non-distinct."

"I was not impressed at all. Sounds silly but no bread was offered. At the prices they ask you would think that would be a given. Wanted a salad even at the asking price of an additional 5.00 but they did not offer blue cheese dressing. Will not return."

"This is our favorite restaurant in the TC's. The combination of great food, creative and wonderful specials, a nice wine list, and staff who know us and welcome us back make it our special place. One birthday dinner right after my son's wedding I was too tired to even pick out food. I asked Brian our waiter to choose something he knew that I would like and he hit it dead on! That makes you feel special! The hot puffed flat bread right out of the woodfire oven does not hurt either. The Persian emphasis is unusual and delicious."

"Was a perfect place for an Easter brunch - relaxing, warm and welcoming staff, fire, live music, and unique and tasty menu options. Not the usual "herd them to the buffet" atmosphere."

"We always have great dining experiences at Downtowner, however the last time we were there, a member of our party ordered a tap beer. When it arrived, it was completely flat, and when he sent it back and requested another of the same kind, the server replied "okay, well that will probably be flat, too." He then requested a different type of beer, and she brought it, and the new type was flat. Would've been more appropriate for them to address the issue (change the keg?) than to just keep serving poor quality beverages."

"My wife and I brought our dear friends there for breakfast, to celebrate a birthday. We have been there several times in the past, this was the first time for our friends. As usual it was a great dining experience. The breakfast is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend "Moe's Cajun Breakfast". Service is usually above and beyond, and we always love the interior ambience. Dining in the evening is even more exceptional. Well worth the drive from anywhere."

"Food and service were very good. I have patronized the Woodfire Grill several times. Just one thing I would suggest, re-apohlser the booths and refinish chairs and tables, it would make a huge difference in the overall enjoyment of dining."

"A large group left a little after we arrived so waiter didn't have any other tables. Tuna salad was was missing ingredients and seared tuna was tough. Our flat was flat and cold but the next table was puffy and too got to eat. Very unimpressed. But they were nice"
