I would do a search (command-F or control 4, depending on your computer) to see how many comments are about the terrible service here. Says a lot right off the bat... This place has been on my list for a long time. We had some friends go recently and they just stop talking about how amazing it was. My in-laws offered to take us out to dinner before a big trip we had, so we decided on this place. Let's start with the good. The space is cute. It is inside the St. Paul airport. Like, literally in the airport. You sit and can watch planes land and take off. Really cool. The space is small, so it can be a bit noisy, but not terrible. That's about where the good ends. The food. I had a beet salad to start. I was not impressed. I LOVE beets and I love beet salad. The salad was very dry. The arugula was like eating sandpaper at times. The beets were ok. They tasted canned or pickled. It is a shame because some nice roasted beets would do so well. The dressing was good, but not nearly enough of it. I got their pork chop. It was MASSIVE, which meant I had leftovers. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. My husband could have easily whipped up something equivalent to what they served, possibly even a little better. The pork chops came with what I would consider some crimes against food. They were served on a bed of "cheesy grits." I use quotation marks there because these were not grits. Grits are a weird between creamy liquid and lumpy steal-cut oatmeal, in a good way. These grits, if you can call them that, were almost hard. My husband thought I had mashed potatoes on my plate. Not good. The second crime was the slaw it came with. I don't know what was in it, but it was like a vinegar/salt bomb. I couldn't eat it, and I can stomach a lot of stuff. The worst offender of food by far was the dessert. I know I've talked about how much I love certain foods, but I truly have a MASSIVE sweet tooth. Even when a dessert isn't that good, I'll still eat it. I got the strawberry shortcake. It should be renamed dry dish sponge with overly sweet strawberry liquid. The shortcake crust was edible, but the inside was like chewing on a dried out sponge. The strawberry filling was just sugary and didn't highlight the strawberry at all. As my mother in law said, you know its a bad dessert when Barclay doesn't eat it all. The service was also just awful. Dinner took about 1.5-2 hours. That would have been fine if we were sitting and enjoying ourselves. It took someone about 15 minutes to come just take our drink order. It then took about 30 minutes for someone to come take our food order, after our drink order was done. The waitress was mostly absent through most of our experience. I don't mind being left to my food, but a good server should pass by so they can be flagged down if needed. Ours was MIA for most of our time. Saw they had a helicopter and a meal package. My mother is visiting and I thought that sounded like a lot of fun. That was until I actually ate here. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. 15/100 read more

Does Holman's Table have a great Atmosphere, Food & Service? Yes, Yes & Yes! Located in the St. Paul Airport, the views can not be better! So cool to watch a plane land while being so close. We went for brunch and were so happy with our recommendations. Holman's Breakfast & the poutine, which the latter was to die for!! A few tips if you plan to dine: If you like a hard scramble with your eggs, specify so! If you like your bacon a bit more crispy, specify so! My eggs were a bit soft and my bacon was a bit floppy - BUT these are all only preferences, nothing negative. read more

Fantastic service and amazing menu! The food was fresh and delicious. The drinks were also well execute. Highly recommend Holman's Table.

First time I went there a party of nine and all was good- service was great and food was fantastic. Two weeks later I recommended we schedule Holmans table ( this was mid-July). We tried reservations ( we don't take reservations for any parties larger than four) so we made two reservations for mid- September. 1 week before we were to meet we get a call - they are closed for a private event. I cannot recommend this establishment. Update: They called and admitted they dropped the ball. Our reservation for the date never should have been taken. Kudos to them for admission. What's your viewpoint? read more

Great experience and food- a real gem! Retro vibe with runway and plane views. We'll go again.

I had lunch here and enjoyed it. The desserts were both good. The charcuterie has a raspberry ale infused cheese that was really nice. And the tuna fish of the day was nice as well. Everything was good. The vibe and setting is nice and also connected to a helicopter ride company and landing pad. The parking lot is spacious as well. I'd definitely recommend this place for a good St. Paul spot that avoids downtown. read more

Holy mackerel! Or maybe salmon?! Party of 4 dined here this evening for a belated birthday celebration. Giving this place another opportunity to wow me was the right call. And wow me, they did. First, I ordered a cocktail: the Penicillin. I am a picky, picky alcohol consumer. In most cases I skip the alcohol because it usually disappoints me too much - either it's too sweet, too bitter, too spirited, or just not interesting. The Penicillin was amazing. Beautifully seamless blending of flavor that could have easily had me in trouble because I wanted to keep drinking more, and more and more and more and more. Then, the Beef Tartare. Delicious mustardy-seasoning with capers and high quality beef. Toasted fresh baguette. Next, I ordered the Beet Salad with Salmon. Another good experience of flavor combinations. Ingredients are fresh and in proportionate quantities. Last, Dark Chocolate Coconut Torte with a decaf cappuccino. Yum. Flavorful, soft, decadent. I would definitely go back based on this experience. Aside from the deliciousness of the food, I loved our server and wish I could remember her name to give her a shout-out. She worked very hard was quite attentive to us. It did become busy and some of the waiting took a little time - but that is what happens when a place is busy and they tending to your food to make it a good meal. read more

The mushroom toast is a must!!!! Food are flavorful and fresh. The moment I walked out the door, coming back to try different dishes already planned. This place is very classy and cozy at the same time. Highly recommend this place. read more

Love this place for Sunday brunch, happy hour and/or dinner. Watching the activity (small planes coming and going, military helicopters) at the St Paul airport is super cool. Vibe is sophisticated casual read more

If you're looking for a unique and intimate setting, Holman's Table is the place to go for dinner. Located at the Downtown St. Paul airport, it's the perfect spot to watch the planes take off! I recently came here for dinner, and was blown away by their food and amazing craft cocktails. I'm looking forward to coming back for their brunch and sitting outside on their patio! read more

The food is great but servers have been a bit rude or snotty on more than one occasion. It's a fun brunch spot- if you can get in there, which seemingly is harder to do than finding the place (which, as a newbie to the area, was almost equally as confusing). The charcuterie boards are extremely overpriced for what they are. Their brunch options are pretty limited, it would be nice to see some additional egg-free options. Drinks are excellent. Dinner is delicious, despite them giving our order to a couple seated 20 minutes after us that ordered the same entrees, which led to us sitting for over an hour for our entrees. But the owner/ manager? Came over to apologize (even though we said it was okay to the server- it wasn't their fault) and gave us some free drinks for our trouble. read more

Had a lovely family celebration today thanks to wonderful food, service and ambiance at Sunday Brunch. I was able to reach out in advance to request a specific table setup, as well as an amazing (and beautiful) devil's food cake as a special dessert that their pastry chef put together for us. We ordered their mimosa tray that provided all 6 of us with a blueberry lemonade or pomegranate cocktail - and everyone enjoyed their food. Their Benedicts are amazing, and the omelets were delicious. read more

really tucked away and not so sure why they are so pretentious. Stopped in here to give it a shot and not treated like we were welcome or belonged there. We settled on a small bite and a drink and hurried up and settled the tab because we just really felt awkward. Won't go back. read more

I've been to Holman's Table several times now. The service and food have been consistently good, but why-o-why does the noise level have to be so high? Our foursome left early because there was little point in conversation and I know I'll have a hard time convincing my wife to return because of the noise level. read more

Great ambiance! Food and service......not so good. First time at this restaurant. We made reservations and had the email acknowledging it but they did not have a record of it. Explanation was that they switched reservation platforms and would squeeze us in. Plenty of open table during our entire stay but they put us; a party of four, next to the door leading to the outdoor seating. Needless to say, constant in and out with a cool breeze every time it was opened. I thought the service was slow. A table of four next to us received their meals and were almost finished before our orders were taken. Took as long for our meals to arrive. Food presentation was good but the short rib omelette lacked flavor, potatoes were greasy. The meat omelette was tasty but also on the greasy side. Hash browns were good. The buffet burger was okay but nothing special. All in all; you can do better with the money you'd spend here. read more

The food we ate for lunch was very good. At the suggestion of our server, Jess, I had their spin on poutine: homemade fries topped with pulled pork (from a wild boar) and an egg. My dining partner had their French onion soup, which had a hint of rosemary in it and therefore produced a very tasty and unique flavor combined with the beef broth and caramelized onion. We also shared a beet salad the was tangy and utilized arugula which complemented the beets quite well. There is an in-house pastry chef, and the desserts looked very tempting, but we were stuffed. For any pilots out there: There is free parking on the ramp and landing fees are waived with attendance at the restaurant. Since 1/2 the building is owned by MAC, you will need an escort to and from your plane. The historic nature of the building (a WPA building from 1939), combined with the restaurant, makes this an excellent $100 hamburger destination. read more

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the current menu because the menu's posted on line are not current. It is a very odd menu with little to select from, reminds me of when a business is failing and they are trying to hang in there with a very very limited menu. Food was absolutely terrible. For lack of a steak selection I ordered a burger. The $300 Burger came bathed in a horrid mushroom glaze with equally horrid potato wedges. With all the fantastic restaurants in Minneapolis / Saint Paul I'm wondering how these guys stay open. With all these wonderful on line reviews I'm not sure we ate at the same place. The $300 Burger is the name. It's only $27.50. read more

Amazing service and very cool spot to have a restaurant! I ordered the pesto pistachio pasta (not the actual name of it on the menu.. I forgot what it's actually called). They gave a good serving size, and the flavors in the pasta were amazing! I didn't add extra meat, but you could have gotten some type of meat added for an additional price. We went on a Friday night, and it wasn't too crowded either! Great spot to have dinner read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere! My husband and I just had dinner here for the first time this week and I'm so sad we've never been here before! We both got the specials of the evening and couldn't have been happier. Every single member of the staff we interacted with was wonderful and attentive. I'm so happy we finally gave this place a try and can't wait to come back! read more

Maria great ya charmed service and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the crab cakes, hangar steak and burger! read more

This is such an interesting little spot and honestly, before coming here I had never been to the Saint Paul Airport before. I knew it existed but had always gone to MSP the ambiance is kinda cool, though half the restaurant looks like an old timey diner and the other half looks freshly remodeled. So that;'s a little confusing. We all thought it was pretty cool that at the end of your meal, they give you a postcard and mail it out to whomever you want for you. The group of friends I went here with and I all mailed postcards out to each other and got them about a week later. The food was pretty good, but honestly a little forgetful, but our server was super nice and did make the experience better for us. If you're with someone that wants to try it, it's by no means bad. But if you're traveling to the area for the first time, it's not worth it to have a meal here. There are so many more unique places in the Twin Cities to go to. read more

What a treasure! Exceptional staff and historic building. Almost thought Lauren Bacall was going to walk off the tarmac and into the terminal building read more

Holman's Table is one of the restaurants where I felt classy and had to sit up a little taller. I adore the aesthetic of the place, the dark walls and the fun wallpaper compliment the aviator vibe. It's not everyday I can look out a window and see a plane land as I dish on my salad. The food was decent! I ordered a Crispy Chicken Sandwich and their Classic Burger. The salad was probably my favorite though! I'd love to try their other options. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and looking forward to bring my father with me next visit! read more

We were blown away by the service at Holman's table. 8 of us were accommodated quickly and so generously by our server who paid special attention to our nephews (even taking them out into the lobby to show them a cool feature of the airport and finding toy planes for them). Super impressed by her. The food was fabulous. We had mushroom toast, house salads, the burger, pork tenderloin, pesto pasta with chicken, and the hanger steak. Every single bite was perfect. This place feels special and we'll definitely be back. read more

Possibly the best restaurant in St. Paul. I had the crab cake, hanger, and strawberry shortcake from the restaurant week menu. I had their penicillin and gold rush cocktails. Everything was excellent. My wife had the mushroom toast which had outstanding flavors. I can't wait to go back! read more

This might be our new favorite spot! We were so impressed with the food and the service that we were planning our next visit before we even finished our meal! (We had brunch on Saturday and considered coming back on Sunday for dinner!) I had the corned beef hash for brunch--the portion size was just right, and the quality and flavor exceeded my expectations! Everything on the menu is made from scratch in their kitchen, and it definitely shows in the taste and quality. The coffee was great as well (and I'm pretty picky when it comes to coffee). The staff was genuinely friendly and it's conveniently located five minutes from downtown St Paul. The restaurant got busier throughout our meal, however it didn't affect the quality of service, or noise level. Can't wait to come in the summer to sit out in the patio! read more

Best Restaurant I've been to in St. Paul. Lovely atmosphere, terrific service, outstanding food. We had the caesar with steak, a burger, scallops, and a perfect sized kids meal. Phenomenal! Can't wait to go back! read more

The drive up had my eyebrow raised, but man was it a great surprise as we were seated at our table! Beautiful decor and ambiance, stellar service, unique and yummy cocktails, and the cuisine was amazing from the bread basket through dessert. I want to try everything on the menu! And after the beautiful meal, it's kinda fun seeing the personal planes hopping in and out of the runway too. read more

I notice, like a lot of new restaurants, that this place has garnered 5 stars from a lot of people. Really?? Is Perkins 4 stars?? Granted they had a nice menu and the food was good but not great. Tried the soup du jour a tasty asparagus soup. Perfectly seasoned but not quite warm enough. Entree was the Wild Boar Pappardelle. The boar could have been seasoned better, it was a little too cool and the noodles were too al dente for my taste. Service was first class and the meal came in a very timely manner. Dinner for six of us with alcohol was $400. So a pretty good value. This review really deserves a 3.5 but rather than 3 I give it 4 simply for the effort they're obviously putting into it. Their biggest challenge is location. Easy to get to but it's very forgettable as you don't drive by it every day. read more

Being next to the St Paul airport is a little out of the ordinary but if you want to get out of the hectic restaurant scene with no parking and tons of traffic, this is your spot. This high class restaurant serving modern and sophisticated dishes has 2 burger I had to try.. the Rock Elm Burger and The Vat. The Vat was my favorite of the two offering a juicy burger with unique toppings that complimented the burger nicely because bacon always steals the show read more

I'd give this place 4.5 stars if I could. Patio on a nice night is amazing! The food was good to great, but not outstanding. The salads were 5/5. The beef options were really good but the scallops were just okay. Service was really good from the hostess to our server. I'll be back- hopefully by plane . read more

What a fun new restaurant in St. Paul at Holman Field. Breakfast is delicious starting with wonderful locally roasted Italian roast coffee. It has a casual but elegant ambience and a great reuse of the building. Kind of an Art Deco feel. Wonderful views of the airfield with a cool patio space once the weather gets nicer. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the corned beef is made here for their hash. Made with roasted potatoes and grilled red peppers and onions. Can't wait to come back for dinner. Thanks for the coupons, one for me & one to share! The service was attentive , but since it's only been open a week, it wasn't too busy. Come in soon. read more

It was very underwhelming and mediocre. Had the crab cakes, salmon, short rib, and dessert. Crab cakes were ok, presentation was better than they actually were. Salmon quality was good, but cooked well done when asked for medium rare to medium. Squash risotto it came with was undercooked. Short rib meal was a glorified pot roast. Good but not great, and definitely not worth the price. Roasted carrots were almost raw, onions not good at all. Desserts were ok, but again underwhelming. Very disappointed for the price, and will likely not come back. Service was below average at this price point. read more

Was excited to finally visit this unique St Paul gem, fantastic setting with great drinks and food. Brunch menu looks outstanding!

Reservations were easy using open table. Waited several minutes for hostess to show up and seat us. Waiter was prompt but was not fully able to answer our questions about menus options but did make corrections. Waiter recommended Mushroom toast and it was very good. My wild boar had under cooked noodles and was a bit overloaded on the pepper flavor. My wife's short ribs were over salted and for the price, short on volume. A little disappointing of an evening after the good things we have heard about Holman's Table. read more
