    Food was OK but not great. For example, crab & shrimp fettuccine was full of soupy sauce almost overflowing the plate and pork was dry. Service was somewhat slow, some wine out of stock, etc. Overall an OK dinner but not exceptional given the cost.

    Unfortunately, Kincaid's got rid of their main lunch draw, the soup and salad combo, so you're stuck ordering full portions of each, which is way too much food. The clam chowder has a really bizarre flavor. I hope they bring back the lobster bisque instead. The Maytag bleu cheese salad is amazing!

    Did the Mother's Day pri fixe menu. Service was extremely slow with little communication. They were out of a few dishes. We waited 15 min for first course and the salads for two of us came but the soups for the other 2 came later. Had to serve ourselves more water and left yearning for drinks. Our waiter largely ignored us and was over worked with guests. Waited 50 min for dinner to arrive only to be served the incorrect meals and it was clear it was for another table. He apologized and said ours would be out on a couple minutes. But it came out 30 min later. Asked for lemons and sauces and bread which never came. After we ate we were told there wa no desserts left for the dessert course and we could get our money back on those. So we had 2 courses instead of 3 and with lack of staffing and not having enough food for the volume of guests makes me certain I won't go back to the St. Paul location. I'll stick with Bloomington.

    I made reservations for Mother’s Day for 1230. We left at 3:30. The service, from the bar to our table, was very slow. The bad wasn’t busy and I understand she had the table drinks but there were 2 bartenders and it took forever. Our food- the soup and the meal, came out luke warm. That’s awful considering we were paying $59 a person. My shrimp was over cooked and tough, probably from sitting under the lamp. My steak was a perfect medium but cold. We got 3 desserts- crème brûlée, cheesecake, and strawberry shortcake. The crème brûlée was to be expected, the strawberry shortcake was so stale and dry we didn’t eat it. The strawberries were large and unripened, the whipped cream was sparse and not even homemade. The cheesecake is the only reason I gave 2 stars. There are far better places to eat, like The Downtowner (we went there for Mother’s Day in previous years post pandemic and it was perfect!!!), even Olive Garden. I had high hopes for Kincaids but it was a $196 for slow service and cold food.

    Our visit was on Mother's Day -- so definitely a full, busy day for the restaurant. Service was SLOW. Our total time spent at the restaurant was 3 hours. The Mother's Day special was 3 courses, and the wait between courses was way too long. Refills on drinks were not done without asking either. The food was good, with the exception of the prime rib. While the flavor was good, the cut of beef was poor. 4 of us at the table had ordered the prime rib and all of ours had a crazy amount of gristle/chewiness to it. Those ordering the shrimp enjoyed their meals more. The desserts were all top notch -- highly recommend the cheesecake.

    Wow! what a surprise. The Prix Fix menu for mothers day was unbelievable. Great value, the portions were beyond large enough and the food was amazing. The menu was so well planned. We really enjoyed our time and our meal. The ONLY thing I would suggest (and I don't have little kids anymore) there was not much on the menu for a child - no burger, no pasta, no chix fingers etc. might think about adding something like that..

    The food presentation of the tuna entree was beautiful and it tasted amazing. Also ordered the Halibut which was alright, a little salty to my taste. The side salad offered with it was delightful. Our server was very personable and gave excellent suggestions. We’ve always enjoyed dining at Kincaid’s, it’s never disappointing.

    We have eaten here several times for special occasions, but don't think we will be back. Service was not on par for a high-end restaurant. We had to ask for water 3 times, one order was not correct, didn't bring bread - other tables had it. I guess you have to ask now. They were out of prime rib at a steak house on a Saturday night?? Server kind of disappeared. Just not what we were used to or expected.

    We were in town and walked by Kincaids our first day. I immediately looked up the menu and my fiancé and I were hooked. We booked a reservation for Saturday evening. The food was outstanding! I had the French onion soup and my fiancé had the clam chowder to start. Then I had the seafood trio and my fiancé got the fettuccine. Everything was amazing!!! We ended our night with the key lime pie and oh my word! You have to try it! Best key lime pie I’ve ever had!! Our server seemed a little razzled but the place was pretty busy. Drinks were delicious! I already recommended to all of my friends to stop here when they’re in St. Paul.

    We went to Kincaid’s in Saint Paul to celebrate an anniversary and birthday. It was very disappointing that parking in the ramp is no longer validated, and we had to pay a $15 event parking fee. We were seated at a table that was near a very large party celebrating some event. It was very loud, and the people who were at the large party were often times standing near our table and we couldn’t even hear each other talk at our table of seven. Our server was working with the large party and did not spend much time at our table. The food was OK but many things did not come as advertised on the menu, for example, the grilled salmon and shrimp Louie salad had no avocado on it. I do not plan on returning to Kincaid’s.

    We had a mid-afternoon dinner before going to a hockey game. Kincaid's was staffed up well, and ready for an off-time rush. Our server Michael was very busy, but I never felt we were ignored. We had four different entrees at the table. The chicken was very flavorful and surprisingly good. (I never order chicken at a steak and seafood place). The prime rib was spot on with great flavor and temperature. The halibut was a different presentation than straight grilled, but the added accompaniments blended so well creating a great flavor. The Cajun shrimp and scallops was probably my least favorite, as the flavor was good, but the shrimp was slightly over cooked, and the scallops seemed overpowered. The experience was good, and Michael handled us well. We will certainly go back.

    We arrived for an early dinner before an event at the Cathedral. There were a few tables sat (and going to the same celebration). It was clear the machine was not normally revved up at 5pm but they did an awesome job serving us quickly and with quality. We had steak, seafood and chicken at our table. The chicken was ok but the other meals fantastic. Lindsay was top notch. Although serving 2 larger tables and the 3 of us, she had grace under pressure. Thank you to Lindsay and all the staff for helping launch a special evening.

    My family decided to go to Kincaids for Easter this year! We have done Christmas in the past, and it was always so successful and lovely. What I enjoyed this year with Easter is that we did not feel rushed and we could take our time to eat. The dining experience was not constrained by a reservation time frame. The one thing I could say is that we felt that our server was probably stretched a little thin look like she had a very large section, and so that may have delayed a little bit of service, but not due to lack of attention. I enjoy Kincaids overall! I go there for lunch with friends, and have done birthday celebrations and holidays there, and have always been pleased by the quality of food and the service!

    The food was outstanding. Kincadid's usually doesn't do brunch service and I had expected a buffet and not a multi-course meal served progressively over a longer period of time. But this worked out great as we had a longer visit with everyone similar to how we would have gathered together at someone's house. I had the grilled walleye and other diners at the table had pan-fried walleye, ribeye steak, and prime rib. Everything was outstanding. The strawberry shortcake was a revelation; I was not expecting it to be that good, or even on the menu. I will order that again!

    Experience was just ok. Drink order was wrong, no bread service, bottle of wine delivered to table half way through main course, and wrong desert was served. Server was pleasant, and food had good flavor. We were there for a night out and left feeling a bet meh and re-reading this an “ok” rating is generous.

    Our server was great - wish I had gotten his name. We asked to split a NY strip dinner and they were very gracious and did that for us. That made the portion much more agreeable to 2 older women - and we didn't waste any food. We added an order of grilled shrimp to create our own surf and turf, and still had room for dessert. The steak (medium) was perfectly done, very tender, and we loved the creme brulee! Thanks for an enjoyable dinner!

    The service was great, the food could have been better. My husband had the walleye and the serving was like a kids meal. Most places when you order walleye you get 2 large filets, not here. I ordered shrimp and scallops, the shrimp was great, the scallops were not fresh and under cooked. They took care of it and replaced them with more shrimp.

    I’m really sad to say this was one of the worst dinner experiences I’ve had. I had high expectations because I’ve heard of Kincaid’s for years and it was extremely disappointing. 1, there were openings on every 15 min mark which should have been a red flag for a Saturday night in downtown St Paul; I was able to get in at 630 for 2 people, no problem. 2, the slowest service I’ve ever had. 3, I specifically asked if they still had prime rib in when we first were greeted, which they did, but then 2 times after that something was adjusted—first with the head chef then a second adjustment from the manager. We both wanted a 16 oz prime rib and there were miscommunications for size/cut availability so they gave us (2) 12 oz and split the end piece between us. That was a first and a very strange substitution to me. Positive note, it was cooked to perfection (rare for both of us) and tender, but it was the thinnest cut of prime I’ve ever had. Anywhere else I’ve had prime rib it’s easily a thick slab 1”+ in thickness. This was as thin as a flank steak. 4, we ended up saying no to a free dessert and didn’t get a box for the leftovers because we were afraid that’s how long it would take to get it. For a greeting, 2 apps (shrimp cocktail and shrimp and grits) and cocktails (non alcoholic) it took an hour. My date was offered a 2nd sprite but I wasn’t, and I never did get offered a refill. Overall, really really disappointing. The pros were the view we had out of the windows and our company of one another. Unfortunately we won’t be returning and won’t recommend it to anyone. I hope it gets turned around because the atmosphere and location are lovely. Definitely not worth the time or money. If you’re planning to go anywhere after dinner here plan an extra 2 hours.

    Service was very slow. Had to ask for things multiple times. Chilled wine was just set on table with no chiller offered. Filet was very tough rather than tender. Cheesecake tasted like the ones you get frozen at the grocery store. Very disappointing experience.
