   It has become very expensive to dine at Kincaids. The drinks are weak and overpriced. The portions have gotten smaller and the prices higher. For the first time ever, the service was really slow.

   Kincaid's never disappoints! We usually dine at the Bloomington restaurant; the St. Paul venue has a more classic ambience; both serve excellent food.

   Getting a table in the dining room for our reservation was difficult. The staff at the desk want to put us in the bar which was deserted. We explained we were observing our 50th anniversary and she found us a table in the dining room which was only about 20% filled.

   Michael provided exceptional service while delivering delicious food. The waygu service melted in my wife’s mouth and the kid’s salmon and fries was tasty. The coho salmon with shrimp and avocado accompaniment was tantalizing to my taste buds. We will return the next time we are in Saint Paul!

   Kincaid St Paul was one of our occasions spot pre-pandemic and we hadn’t been there in years. Now a Landry’s restaurant. Everything was just OK. The ambiance is still great. The restaurant was half full on a Wednesday so a little disappointed in the service. Although server Mike was knowledgeable once the meal was served we never saw him. They may be short staffed because he sure looked busy. Pretty typical these post pandemic days. We had salmon and swordfish and walleye, the salmon was cooked to perfection but the swordfish was dry and the walleye was pretty good . The swordfish being dry was because the pieces were very thin. The hostess was great. Hate to say this, because this used to be one of our favorite restaurants but I’m not sure we’ll be back. One positive was the mixology. The drinks were great. Overall, For the money, it just didn’t leave us wanting to give it another chance.

   Kincaid never fails to create an excellent dining experience. Our meals were expertly prepared and our server was attentive without being intrusive. So glad this classic dining establishment has survived through the pandemic!

   The food quality was marginal at best - not the level of quality that I am used to in Bloomington. The server was the best part of the dinner.

   Apparently they have new owners. Sure isn’t what it used to be! Small portions, steak over cooked, no more Yukon gold mashed potatoes. No more validated parking. No more anniversary cards and the free dessert was about a third of the size it used to be. We used to go here every year for our anniversary because the service and food was excellent. Sadly we won’t be back.

    Always loved this place and have been many times for special occasions. This time was a disappointment. Orders were not presented as described on the menu. Mixed up at the table when delivered. Just a disappointing evening.

    Everything was lovely…except for the “creamed kale”…which was tough, chewy and mostly just totally unappetizing. It looked bad and tasted even worse. Make a salad with it why don’t you!

    This was a reunion of old friends and we picked Kincaid's because of our past history with the restaurant and the central location for all of us. The cocktails and appetizers were the best part of the meal. We had the artichoke dip and calamari which was plenty for our table of 8 to split. The main meals were okay at best. Some of the members of our group actually commented that they hoped the meal in the window was not ours as we witnessed how long it sat before being served (more than 5 minutes). Unfortunately it was our meal. The pork chop was reported as very good. Shrimp scampi was good too as well as the blackened salmon. Unfortunately, two of us ordered pan seared walleye and it was horrible for both of us. We had two other members of our party try a piece of the walleye and they confirmed that it was very fishy, not fresh tasting at all. It was a significant disappointment for a restaurant of this caliber. Now for the worst part of the evening , the server asked how we wanted the checks split. There were 4 couples in our group so we knew it might not be easy. After a considerable wait the server brought two of the four checks with the correct bill. The other two checks were incorrect (she brought two identical checks which were both incorrect). We waited for approximately an hour to get our bills and it was still wrong. At that point we honestly just took the bill and paid it even though both appetizers ended up on our bill instead of one on each of the two remaining bills as we requested. We paid $130 for a meal with cocktails that I honestly would not have paid $50 for. Total disappointment. The final straw was the fact that they no longer valid the parking. We will not be going back to Kincaid's in the future.

    My husband and I both had steaks. Mine was a filet and I ordered it medium. It was a bit over cooked and wasn’t very flavorful. My husband had a sirloin. Neither of us thought our steaks had much flavor. I enjoyed my scallops but wished they had been bigger than a quarter in size! I had Key lime pie which was wonderful! I think the best thing about our dinner was our server! He was fantastic!

    We were excited to return to Kincaids as it had been a few years, but we were disappointed with our experience this time around. The waitstaff was friendly (which was great), but the food took a long time and was not very warm. The shrimp was over cooked and the mashed potatoes were bland. Our service and food unfortunately did not come close to matching the bill. We will not be returning.

    We had a reservation. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly. We had a question about the area for the server; she answered thoroughly and honestly. There were some initial delays with getting water and beverage orders, but with competent state of staffing this was expected. The server remains attentive to our table, refilling our waters and checking on us periodically. This was our first time experiencing Kincaid’s and we’d highly recommend this to anyone wanting a nice meal.

    Although the food was wonderful, we were a little disappointed in the change of menu. Some of our favorites are gone. But, still, lots to choose from and everything was delicious. Service was great, considering how busy it was on a Saturday night. They were kind enough to move us at our request, it was quite noisy and we found a quieter table.

    Food was pretty good. Service was poor; they didn’t clear the table of appetizers and plates before trying to serve our main course. Ordered a nice bottle of wine and it wasn’t opened until after the steak was at the table. These are things I’d expect to not happen when paying so much for the meal.

    We have been going there for many years. The last few years the food has become the worst imaginable. This last time NOBODY ate more than a bite or two and my bill was in excess of $1000 (yes a bottle of wine was involved) the fish was Horrible. The food has become so unbearable despite the location and venue, Never Again! Additionally, how can you take the favorite family dish (lobster bisque) off the menu? That is simply Stupid and bad management (also its not seasonal as they would like you to believe). Good luck guys, no more $'s from us EVER! EVER!!!

    We visited Kincaids after my daughters graduation from The U of M School of Nursing. We enjoyed the whole experience. Our server was fantastic and recommended a very delicious meal. When I booked the reservation I checked special occasion on the Open Table app and they server delivered a complimentary desert. My daughter was thrilled and appreciated the fact Kincaids did this.

    Very gracious and attentive service. Elegant, upscale white linen atmosphere. They were out of a couple of menu items but the food we ordered was all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Quiet and private enough to have detailed, personal, uninterrupted conversation. Nice wine list.
