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.

    We invited our adult grandson to lunch to celebrate his birthday. Our food was very good, although my husband was disappointed they were out of the “crispy walleye sandwich” since our reservation was at 12:30-not late in the day. I had the “crab sandwich on sourdough bread”. More cheese on top and mayo inside than crab. Our grandson ordered “Asiago crusted walleye” which he said was very good. Our server, Nate did an adequate job of serving our food but never really checked back until we flagged him down. I had a large crack in my water glass that he replaced. I indicated in the Open Table app that we were celebrating a birthday, but complimentary dessert was not offered until my husband asked about it.

    The service from the bar to the table was excellent. They checked on us often and ensured everything was going well. The food was quite good, having the Steak Frites and ordering a side of mushrooms to accompany it. Wife liked the duck breast, but thought the risotto was more rice than risotto, but still had good flavor. The desserts were brought out to review and quite good. They even send you home with a small two pack of homemade cookies per guests. Prices were reasonable for the level of restaurant they are striving to be.
