The food was ok, but nothing exciting and didn't meet the level of expectations for a restaurant that positions itself as an upscale seafood and steak restaurant. The real disappointment though was the service. All of the staff was pleasant to interact with, but it took over 30 minutes to get our drinks after we first ordered. Ran out of water and had to request refills. Soup was delivered AFTER the entrée and the bread came even after the soup. Had to request a soup spoon. Had to request dirty dishes taken away between courses (they were starting to just pile up). Either very untrained staff or very overwhelmed.

Overall we were quite disappointed. The service was not good. Our server had too many tables at one time. Drinks were incredibly slow. No bread was delivered to our table, yet it was delivered to all the other tables. Appetizer was incredibly slow... and then delivered lukewarm - tasty but the temp was not correct. Ordered a glass of wine and was brought a drink. Server blamed it on someone else and yet it was ordered from him. Table next to us didn't receive what they ordered and had to send their meal back three times because it wasn't cooked correctly. Overall, not enjoyable. Possibly just a bad night...but no management around to talk to or wander to talk to guests. Just don't need to go back nor recommend. So unfortunate.

This location is conveniently close to Xcel Energy Center and other St Paul hotspots. With a reservation you are immediately seated every time. The cocktail and wine list are wonderfully curated to complement all menu options. The fried calamari is delicious starter option. The fillet was tender and perfectly cooked to medium as requested; wonderfully accompanied by a side of seared scallops. The strip was perfectly cooked to the requested temperature.

My husband and I were on a 16 day road trip so I found Kincaids on Open Table. The restaurant itself is elegantly decorated. We ordered a Cesar salad to be shared and it was brought out already split in 2 plates. Both of our dinners were beautifully plated. My husband ordered the Sesame Seared Tuna and I ordered the shrimp and lobster carbonara. Because it was our Anniversary they presented us with a creme brûlée on the house. If we lived in the area it would definitely be a restaurant that we would frequent.

My husband and Inhad an early Sunday dinner at Kincaid’s which I selected because of its reviews and proximity to our hotel. The Delille Metier red blend wine, one of their August featured selections, was excellent as was the Maytag Blue salad. Unfortunately, my husband’s 7 oz filet was medium well rather than medium rare as ordered. By the time it was sent back and a replacement arrived, my prime rib dinner was no longer warm. These entrees were acceptable but not of the quality we would have expected from a high end restaurant. Our server, Deborah, was excellent throughout the entire evening and offered us a dessert because of the kitchen issue/. We chose decaf coffee and a cappuccino. This is a very nice restaurant with friendly host and top notch servers. But the food was not quite up to what we hoped for on this visit.

Enjoyable restaurant can be an expensive evening depending upon what you order and if you have Alcoholic beverages. Food is really good. Ran out of a Seasonal Padta dish, which was surprising as we had early reservations. Would easily go back there.

Overall, our visit to Kincaid’s was a let down. It was very quiet for a Saturday night. That’s probably not too unusual for downtown Saint Paul, especially if there isn’t an event. Maybe they didn’t have enough staff to cover the diners who were there. Our server had three large tables in addition to our twosome. We don’t have many demands, but expect better service at a restaurant like Kincaid’s. We only saw the server in sporadic, brief intervals. The food left plenty to be desired. Though every dish came with sides, the protein portions were quite small and the quality was not what I would expect from this kind of restaurant. (I had better—and cheaper—shrimp and scallops from a suburban tavern grill last week.) Additionally, we made the reservation and noted we were celebrating a birthday, but there was zero acknowledgement. I don’t think we’ll return to Kincaid’s.

Kincaids is almost alway very good. We were celebrating two birthdays but nothing was offered. Salmon and chicken meals were great. Blue Cheese salad was quite good. Service was fine once I asked for a new table. I booked a reservation well in advance and was shown to a lousy table in front of the serving station. They did accommodate and move us to a better booth table as requested.

The wait staff is wonderful. However,the dining experience lacks that special quality that we have come to expect from Kincaids. The plated dinner looked like something that would come from road side diner- zero presentation. I hope the chef might find some creativity in presentation.

Go-to spot for classy cocktails, steak and seafood in downtown St. Paul. Food was great, service great and accommodating (pre-show for Palace Theater, but on a quiet night in downtown otherwise). Steak bites (and one fellow diner's steak) were over salty, so took off a star for food. Pricy--not a spot for value-conscious dining! (Also, not a great spot for your vegan friends.)

The food itself was not terrible. Appetizers and sides were good! the steak i had on the other hand was pretty bad. it should be a crime to take a beautiful cut of beef and completely ruin it. I got a fillet and it was dry, overcooked, and extremely bland. I ordered medium rare and it came medium/medium well. i told the server and was told they would bring me another. after waiting 20 minutes i decided to eat the piece of leather they originally brought out and asked for my check. they didnt even comp the steak. i ended up boxing it and giving it to a homeless person on my way back to my hotel.

My wife and I decided to try Kincaid’s for a nice night out. Overall the experience was good but not great. The service was terribly slow. We waited almost 15 minutes before our waitress arrived to take our drink order and when she returned with the drinks she brought the wrong wine. Then she stated that the no longer sold the wine my wife ordered. We ordered dinner, my wife had the blackened halibut and I ordered the rib eye. The halibut was good but a bit on the dry side. The rib eye was less than stellar. This was not a $57 rib eye by any means, if seemed more like something you would get at an Outback not a steak house. The sides were amazing, I highly recommend the asparagus and the corn succotash. For desert she had the strawberry shortcake, the highlight of dinner and I had the molten chocolate cake which was good but not as good as the shortcake. Overall a nice night out and an average meal. I think there are far better restaurants in St Paul at this price point with better food and service.

We've diner here many times before concerts typically. We enjoyed our meal. One little thing that bugged me is that they use think bar napkins under your drink. They were so thin that they just stuck to the glass and came apart in pieces. I don't know why but it bugged me that I had to take the wet mess and put it aside. Otherwise it was an enjoyable meal!

Went here on my birthday and the food was sooooo good I just wish it were a bigger portion, but all in all good. The seafood trio was my entree of choice and I couldn’t get enough of the sauce. Also the crab and lobster bisque was perfect and I wanted to get some to go, but unfortunately I was heading back home the next day. The ambiance was great, and the staff was super nice and accommodating. I definitely have no complaints really. The only thing I didn’t like was the creamed spinach. It kind of tasted like undercooked collard greens, but they gladly gave me another side. I would highly recommend a visit here as I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

We came before a show and took advantage of the Father's Day Special. The hostess initially sat us at a tiny 2 top right up against a woman's wheelchair, leaving all of us with barely room to breathe. There were 40 open tables as they had just opened. We asked for a different table and she moved us, but her first choice showed super poor judgement, even if she was trying to accommodate the server. Everything was fabulous from there! View was fantastic looking out toward Rice Park, our server was an absolute gem, even though they were a bit shorthanded, she was very warm and professional. The food was perfect! I forget about this place, but when we go I'm reminded of how phenomenal the food is. I highly recommend Kincaid's!

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..
