Downtown St. Paul Restaurants

Amazing! Best sushi I’ve had in my life! Staff, service, everything was just great!

First time at Mara and will definitely go back. We did the four course meal and every course was beautifully plated, portioned and tasted delicious! Service was spot on and Mary the sommelier really steered us to a beautiful wine that complemented all our meals. Thanks for a memorable evening!

Celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary at Porzana last night and it could not have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made the evening feel special. Our waiter Stefano was phenomenal, attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making our night memorable without ever being intrusive. That kind of service is rare and it elevated the whole experience. The food matched the service every step of the way. Hands down the best steak I’ve had in Minneapolis, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Every course was thoughtful and well executed. If you’re looking for a restaurant in the North Loop for a special occasion, Porzana is it. 10/10, we’ll be back.

We sat at the bar and the service and drinks were awesome! The turkey burger I had was the best I've had in a long time - flavorful and juicy. The sausage pasta my husband had was also excellent.

The food was exceptional. We went for lunch and sat on the patio. We were two old friends catching up with one another. We weren’t rushed at all. It was totally lovely.
