• American • Saint Paul

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
Booked 28 times today
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.

In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

    We went to celebrate our anniversary and were absolutely delighted. From the moment we arrived, the staff made a beautiful gesture by decorating our table with little hearts and welcoming us with two glasses of delicious sparkling wine. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The appetizer—crispy pork belly with guasacaca sauce—was bursting with flavor. For the main course, the fish was perfectly cooked with fresh, well-balanced flavors, and the “Domingo” grill was amazing: juicy meat, flavorful sausages, and the morcilla was simply perfect. The cocktails were also a highlight—very tasty, fresh, and beautifully served with attention to detail. And the dessert… what a treat! It was one of the things we loved the most. The combination of flavors was incredible and the perfect way to end a night of delicious food. The service was impeccable. The entire staff was kind, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. We absolutely recommend this place 100%. From today on, it’s officially one of our favorite restaurants. An experience worth repeating!

    Food and drinks were really great! It was nice to try a combination that I wouldn’t ordinarily go for. The crust on the pizzas was fantastic. Our server was great at handling allergies and explaining the restaurant’s allergy procedures.

    Our service was excellent from the hostess to our server, the gentleman removing our dirty dishes and two different managers checking in. The food tasted even better than it usually does and maybe that’s due to the new system of bringing the cheese already hot and mixed? Our server was excellent!
