Sarah Hinde: The avocado burger is yummy...I substituted a chicken breast for the burger and got it on a whole grain bun. All the ingredients are really fresh and the decor is great!
Ricki Groskreutz: Very impressed w/coffee. Nice depth, rich flavor perfect temp. Wish 4 organic cream. The half N half has carageenan, preservatives. I can go without, but a splash of good cream makes it decadent.
City Pages: Not only are there toys in every nook, stack after stack of perfectly browned, custardy French toast with pecans, blueberries, and real maple syrup will have your child sitting down for this meal.

French Restaurant · Downtown St. Paul · 8 tips and reviews
Andy Flamm: This is a great place to get high-quality panini, sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts. Everything is good, but I love their club sandwich on baguette (also the ham and brie).
Drew Geraets: Buffalo chicken panini with blue cheese is always a solid choice. Also, make sure you get a brownie.
Andy Fleser: The owners speak French and are happy to do so if you like.

Steve Hanneman: Historic and romantic . We live in the Twin Cities and spend 2 or 3 getaway weekends here annually. Service is always impeccable. It's like imagining life from 75 years ago.
Andy Noble: I love these old-style American hotels with beautiful eccentric bars and restaurants with ambiance, atmosphere, and service
Sarah Greshowak: The pillows are too tall

Joshua Bartz: Amazing food, crazy busy, kind of pricy. Everything made from scratch cannot be beat. We'll be back.
nick cross: Plan on waiting and not comfortably.
City Pages: Voted Best Neighborhood Cafe (St. Paul) by City Pages in 2012! The vibe here is quieter, homier, & generally a bit nicer compared to the ironically named joint in mpls; A great place to stay & chat."
Barbara: Food was delicious. We recommend the family platter a great way to taste a variety if foods.
star5: Order Niskeena (lentil soup) and Kurdish bread. Delicious!
City Pages: Voted Best Middle Eastern Restaurant in the 2010 City Pages! The tangy Dowjic soup made from chicken, yogurt, and lemon juice is a patron favorite that works miracles on a head cold.
Larry Mack: Fantastic selection of great sandwiches. The Kansas City BBQ is awesome but have a lot of napkins. 😀
Grant Gartland: If you get the Kansas City BBQ sandwich, don't think it'll be any cleaner then just getting some KC-BBQ. Grab a wet-nap, or not... it is finger lickin' good!
Christopher Spah: Get your sandwich near the door, that way if there's a fire you'll be the first to safety.
