I love celebrating at this restaurant. It’s one of my favorites. We decided to continue our Christmas celebration last year with a night at the St. Paul Grill. It’s a restaurant on the main floor of the St. Paul Hotel and it’s a great spot for any celebration. We went all out and it was so worth it!!
We started with their shrimp cocktail. Oh my, best cocktail sauce ever!! But oops, I didn’t get a photo of it. There’s currently a photo of it on their menu but I’m not sure if it will remain there. Miss M and I shared a strawberry spinach salad described thusly: Baby Spinach topped with Sliced Strawberries, Creamy French Brie Cheese, Candied Walnuts and Raspberry Poppy Seed Dressing. It was the perfect combination and delicious. And hubby had their French onion soup. There’s no description because it doesn’t need one. Ha!
On to the main courses. Miss M had their 6 oz. filet mignon, I had the scallops (Pan Seared Scallops over Butternut Squash Puree with a Root Vegetable Fregola and a Red Wine Glaze) and hubby had the crab cakes (Sweet, Tender Colossal Blue Crab with Citrus Tarragon Aïoli). We also had sides of mashed potatoes, asparagus and onion rings. Everything was amazing! And the service, always impeccable. The two reasons I love celebrating at the St. Paul Grill. It is a bit spendy (that’s Minnesotan for expensive) but, to me, it’s so worth it because you get to feel like royalty and eat delicious food at the same time.

To finish up we all shared a 7 layer chocolate cake. It’s not on their menu currently but I did get a photo of it! My last gallery here includes the dessert as well as a view of the wine list with some very expensive wines that we did not indulge in. And a couple photos of us enjoying the evening. If you’re in St. Paul and want to celebrate, do check out the St. Paul Grill. You’ll leave satisfied, I can just about guarantee it!
