This place is hopping on Saturday with a make your own Bloody Mary bar. Food is really good; had the Breakfast Sammie with a fried egg, deli turkey, greens and avocado. Very generous portion served on whole grain bread and accompanied by delicious fries. Lunch menu is also available in the late morning. Really great that there is a less noisy dining room with table service in a back room. Service on this visit was prompt and friendly. Plan to return for dinner.

Being a Soldier deployed several times, I've had the privilege to enjoy Mancini's steak dinners through the 'Serving Our Troops' project in Iraq and Kuwait while simultaneously serving our families steak dinners back in Minnesota. Just recently returning home, my wife and I took her parents to Mancini's to thank them for helping while I was gone. Everything on the simple straight to the point menu looked delicious. all of us order the filet's which were all cooked perfectly. I order a side of sautéed mushrooms that complimented my filet. We all enjoyed the toasted garlic bread and pickles and tomatoes. The martini's were on point as well as their selection of wines. Definitely coming back to try other menu items.

If you are in search of a good, juicy, one of a kind burger, look no further. There is something for everyone on the Red Cow menu. Vast beer list, yummy cocktails, a dozen burgers to choose from and great happy hour. Highly recommend giving this place a try! Unfortunately parking in the area can be a huge hassle, and they donât take reservations so weâve waited up to an hour for a table. Must try the cheese curds!!

Well known and established breakfast spot. The food is reliable â hot, relatively fast and pretty darn good. There is nothing fancy here. While ordering at the counter, we asked for a recommendation and the woman taking our order, told us about the house made sausage. She was right â it was worth the trip alone. Eggs cooked as ordered and lots of potatoes accompany most dishes. Good coffee. For a big breakfast in St. Paul, consider the Buttered Tin.

My wife and I arrived around 3:30pm on Thursday, July 25th. It was very busy at that time, but we were greeted right away and seated at about the 3rd table adjacent to the bar. Our server was very nice and quite attentive. Being newbies, we did not know what we were going up against with our meals, so we ordered an appetizer of hand dipped cheese curds. They were awesome! I ordered the Lodge Burger. When it arrived I saw that I was in way over my head with the amount of food we ordered. The burger was delicious, as were the French fries. Sadly I had to waste quite a few French fries, as it was a huge serving, and the cheese curds were too yummy to pass up. We had a great visit and would not hesitate to stop in again.

Great food and service. Delicious as always, the St. Paul grill is a definite Twin Cities favorite. We came to celebrate a birthday and the complimentary dessert cake was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The crab tower was also delicious. While the dessert took the meal to another level. Everything made the dinner a meal to remember.

My wife Graduated from Saint Kates in 1971, and we have lived in Edmonton, Alberta to Charlotte, NC, and many places in between. We try to get back to Minnesota every couple years and we eat at Cecil's every time. She claims that it is still like when she was at Saint Kates. Please don't ever change. Your food is wonderful!

Went here with family. All but one of us did the four course fixed price menu. Nobody was disappointed. Terrific selections from tarts to salads to tomatoes to duck to chicken. Nice wine and spirits selection and great service. Courses are small so you can eat four without being stuffed. We even shared a lemon tart.

Some folks had been partying and were on the loud side. My wife and I were there on a Sunday night. Interesting neighborhood, interesting people looked in the window at our dinner. My chicken and waffles appetizer was enough for a supper...but the chicken wasn't fried chicken, it was like breaded from frozen. No salt shaker on the table and my food needed it. My wife liked her whole fish. So, it is not intimate and it is not fine food.
