Hands down this place is a 10/10! Top-tier service, authentic vibes and high quality food. Our…read morefavorites were crab cake, pollo and Toledo. Pollo might be one of the juiciest chicken dishes I've had in my entire life. The sauce in Toledo is amazing and not super butter-y! The mushroom and all the vegetables in the dish complement the sauce well. The crab cake was crispy and savory. Paella was okay but definitely overpriced. I think it needs more of that smoky flavor. Seating was very small and you can overhear the conversation from other tables. I personally didn't mind it, but if you are looking to have more privacy, I'd recommend sitting at corner tables. I also highly recommend reserving a table instead of a walk-in since they have limited seating. It was packed even on a Tuesday evening. I can't wait to go back again!!!

If you are looking for tapas this is the place to go. We have been coming here for years and have…read morealways been happy with the food, drinks, and service. The restaurant is a small corner location and in the summer there is a few additional outside tables. They don't have a parking lot it is street parking but we have never had any issues finding parking. My favorite things here are the piquillos (filled roasted peppers), Vieras (scallops), and the pollo (chicken) with a glass of wine. I have been told I should try the Borrego (rack of lamb) but it's hard to pass up on my favorites.

GusGus is a staple in St.Paul! I try to come here often as I can because the food is just amazing…read more We ordered the Tuna crudo and beef tartare to start off. The tartare had so much flavor to it. It had a nice mussel aoilo that really brought it together. The crudo was great as well. Had a little spice to it but felt fresh to eat. Entree: we ordered the double cheeseburger and Poutine. Have no words to describe how amazing it was and I've tried burgers all over the twin cities. The patty was cooked medium/medium rare, with carmelized onions, pickles and mustard aioli. Every bite was so delicious and flavorful, how a burger should be. The poutine was also amazing! The cheese, gnocchi and ox tail was such a wonderful and unique combo. Dessert: we ordered the dark chocolate mousse cake. It was topped with whip cream and had a piece of chocolate on top. It was amazing! Chocolate wasn't too overly powering and the whip cream balanced it out. The service was great! Checked in how we were doing and asked if there was anything needed. We were seated at the bar, which was a little spacious, but could be cramped if there are others around. The ambience there was good! It is dim but still has enough light to look at the menu. Parking can be tough as well, but honestly the food makes up for it! I would highly recommend GusGus to anyone!

Tucked away in Saint Paul, Gus Gus is a hidden (maybe not for many) gem. There is street parking…read moreand outdoor seating available. They have it right on their website that parking can be tricky, be prepared to walk. The inside has bar seating and the restaurant may be small but is overall bigger than expected. It's elevated without giving people in jeans the side eye. We started with aperol flavored Jell-O shots. They were certainly Aperol flavored and probably the highest class Jell-O shot I've ever taken in my life. I had the spritz on special which was dill based and I was in love. I could have had 17 of them, been rolled home and been in absolute bliss. I also ordered the spritz salato and it was an equally as delicious savory cocktail. For dinner we shared the chips with speck (3.5/5). The chips were a little oily, but I'm a sucker for anything with prosciutto and crème fresh. I had the beef tartar as my main. The bread slices are pretty big. It comes with two pieces and regardless of if you are going to share or not I found myself having to cut the bread into smaller pieces. The chips worked out well as a vessel for the tartar too. Everyone else for the burger and after a singular bit I understood the hype. It has to be a top 5 burger ever. I'm still thinking about the burger and it wasn't even my entree. I'll certainly be back!

First time at Redstone. Liked the open atmosphere. Service by Sara was very good. The bar was a…read morelittle slow, but she kept us updated like a good server should. Started with the skillet, Lodge cornbread. It was amazing and delicious. Although hard to recommend it because it is so filling you're not gonna be able to finish your entrée I bet. Maybe the best skillet cornbread I've had! For our entrées, we tried the margarita flatbread, the chicken pesto Bellagio, and the Cajun ribeye with a loaded baked potato. The flatbread was a bit disappointing, but the other two were pretty good. The steak was cooked medium rare, as ordered, and had a very good flavor. The chicken was tender and juicy and had a nice sauce.

We made a trip to meet up with some friends for Father's Day brunch and had a fabulous experience…read more As you walk into the establishment, it is decorated and has the feel of a lodge. We were seated and had a view of the pond or water. Our server, Bryn, brought us a few glasses of bubbles to start while we looked at the menu. Bryn gave us some good recommendations, and we went with the Redstone breakfast. Redstone is known for their ribs, so what else could I choose? I selected a full rack of ribs, and the meat fell right off the bone. They had the perfect blend of BBQ, smoke, and tanginess. The sauce was not runny and stuck to the ribs. I didn't even bother with the fries. The coleslaw was mediocre and was lacking in flavor, but the ribs were heavy. We had a few glasses of wine to quench our thirst and relaxed and had great conversations as we caught up. Bryn checked up on us and made sure we had all we needed and provided perfect service. The bathrooms and restaurant areas were clean, and there was tons of free parking in their lot.

As a mother of five, I was actually there to pick up pizzas for my kids using a Marriott gift card, so I wasn't even planning on staying long. But Brian completely made my short visit such a pleasant experience. He made me an amazing mocktail that was SO good, and his personality was truly a breath of fresh air. He was kind, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel taken care of. Sometimes it's the little moments and the people you meet that make an experience memorable, and Brian definitely did that for me. Thank you, Brian, for making my quick stop such a nice time! I'll definitely remember the great service, the delicious mocktail, and the positive energy.

This is a good place for some summer drinks. Parking is easy as it's the roof top of the AC Hotel…read more When entering the hotel head to the right and take the elevator to the top floor. Then go to the right again to enter Reveal. Food here is fairly basic and the pizza is average. But good to snack on something while having drinks. The place does have one of the best bourbon menus I have seen in the cities and Brian is a friendly bartender. Please do be patient as the service is a bit slow as it seems Brian is the only one working some days for the whole roof top. So sit back relax and enjoy the slightly distant city views.

The service has always been exceptional, and the classy décor creates an upscale dining experience at an affordable price point, which can be hard to find these days. This has become my team's and my favorite happy hour spots. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be offering more happy hour specials and extending the happy hour hours. Overall, I've had consistently great experiences here, with the only dish that didn't quite meet my expectations being the beef stew. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

After 20 minutes of not one single server stopping by to take our drink order or even greet us, we got up and walked out.

But after 20 minutes of no recognition, I won't be back and I won't be recommending it anymore.

Pour is in a little strip mall. They have added black curtains and some cozy seating areas from when we were here last. Nice updates. Our waitress was very accomdating until she got busy then we felt we were forgotten. We ordered the Drunken shrimp , bread with olive oil and the avocado toast to start with. The drunken shrimp is just as good as we remember the saffron sauce is sooooo good! but there were 3 of us sharing the apps and it only came with 2 crostini's we asked for a 3rd so we could each have one but little did we know that one very small skinny piece of bread had a $1.00 charge to it. The steak bites with their homemade blue cheese sauce was to die for melt in your mouth!! I even asked if we could buy some of the blue cheese sauce, she said no but that she would bring us another dish of it but she never did. My girlfriend ordered a cranberry mule drink, she was charged an extra $1.00 for the cranberry. We also ordered the goat cheese with sauces that were very delicious with an ample amount of crackers. We got the chocolate Ganache cake to share for dessert. But............ the waitress never took our empty dirty plates but showed up with the dessert with the mess on table, I asked for extra clean plates but she never brought them. Everything we ordered was very delicious, but as the night progressed our service got worse, we asked for the bill but she never came back to get our payment and we had questions my girlfriend walked it up to the bartender with our payments. 2 of us were paying cash and one a credit card and we were charged an extra fee of $5.18 for her using a credit card. That is when we saw the $1.00 charge for 1 piece 3/8" bread and the $1.00 for cranberry mule. Talk about nickel and diming. We would love to go back but unsure if I can get past some of these things. Also, now looking at the bill even closer, none of us had a mimosa and we were charged $8.95 for one.How did we miss that? All added up we paid $16.00 more than we should have. CRAZY!! Sadly, Don't know if I'll be back.

Plenty of seating although it seemed like a lot of the tables were very close to each other so not much privacy unless you are in a booth. Loved the individual bathroom stalls, very clean and private. The food was amazing!! We didn't know what to expect here but the food was cooked to perfection, shoutout to the chef for making the noodles Al dente, especially the rice noodles. Being Asian I know how hard it can be to get the right texture for rice noodles but they were perfect! Flavors were incredible. Portions were plentiful, we shared two entrees and two apps between 4 girls and we had leftovers and we were all starving too. Love the vibes here, definitely feels more upscale yet casual. Drinks looked really good too but we did not want to day drink this time.
