Spectacular food, service and ambience!!! We had the perfect table and experience for our large group for dinner before our play at the Guthrie. We parked on the street in the neighborhood but they have valet too. The server overheard some of our table forgetting their glasses so they came and gave them spare readers! The food was absolutely to die for! Every single thing we ordered was delicious! Get the dirty green beans side if you get the chance! The aesthetic is beautiful. It's very regal, and old school classic. I highly recommend for a special night out!

Best Salmon of My Life The Lexington is an old school supper club on Grand Ave in St Paul, Mn. Our Thanksgiving dinner last year was so good we decided to go again this year. Does two years in a row make for a tradition? I guess we'll know next year. The Lex is pricey and the kind of place you'll want to dress up for. But the food, the service and the ambiance make for a very special night out - perfect for an anniversary, milestone birthday or, in this case, Thanksgiving dinner. Known for their steaks and seafood, but I needed a "healthy option" . Cooked perfectly with bearnaise served on the side, the Salmon Oscar exceeded expectations. Others at our table ordered scallops, a burger and the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I have had the Thanksgiving dinner before. It competes with anything you'd make at home (even better, I think). On what had to have been one of their busiest nights of the year, the Lex delivered: cheerful efficient service, excellent food and the kind of atmosphere you can only get at an establishment thats been a local legend for nearly a century. I am grateful that places like The Lex still exist and that I am able to treat my family to a special meal at such a place.

Lexington is a Saint Paul treasure that you must visit! It feels as though your time traveling back into the Golden age of steak houses when you enter the Lexington! Upon being greeted, you are to a table or the giant booth like I was where I ordered The steak and the Gnocchi! The steak was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi is worth coming back again and again! It's in a mushroom cream sausage who made it stand out like any other gnocchi I've never had before! the service is very professional, but can be a little cold cause I'm a little more! But this place is worth the visit! Make it up to the rooftop for a burger that is also one of the best burgers I've had as well! See you soon Lexington!

Excellent service, didn't skip a beat, recommendations were exactly what I was looking for and the food was outstanding. A beautiful spot to treat yourself.

I have eaten everywhere from empanadas sold out of the back of a dodge caravan to a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Chicago (moody tongue) and I can say without a doubt this was the best food experience I've ever had. Charles our server and the hostess, along with the young gentleman helping bring food out were all very helpful, polite, and seemed to really enjoy giving us great service and a great experience. The hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome and Charles went out of his way to really get in depth with what was on the menu, and drink menu, as well as giving us good recommendations. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary. We shared the crab wontons and the tenderloin tips. We both enjoyed the crab wontons but the tenderloin tips were epic! We then shared the truffle gouda gnocchi, and the Yukon gold whipped potatoes. The gnocchi was spectacular and the whipped potatoes might be the best mashed/whipped potatoes we've ever had! My girlfriend got the salmon and I got the ribeye and both were cooked to perfection temp and tasted delicious. I'm kinda a stickler with my steaks and this steak was great! After our meal the hostess snapped a picture of my girlfriend and I and Charles brought out a sundae free of charge to help us feel a little more special on our anniversary. All in all we will be back and I really really appreciate the service and hospitality that the employees at The Lexington provided us.

This is one of our regular place to go. Foods, cocktails, great ambiance all of the above. Never fails every time. Very consistent This time we have "le serveur extraordinaire" (server that went above and beyond) His name is Matt. He knows so much about whole menu (foods & cocktails) he can explain to a tiniest details if you ask him. Turns out he started out in the kitchen so he actually know inside out. He's also a foodie and you can ask him anything. He suggested "House Steak House" with our onion ring. wow! I will always get that sauce with the onion ring & a cocktail - that could be my go to dinner of all time!

Stopped by the rooftop of the Lexington for cocktails with the girlfriend on a beautiful Friday night. The ambiance was great! It feels really open yet private. For the first round, we ordered the old fashioned and a White Russian. Both were delicious. For the second round , I described my preference to the bartender and asked him to suprise me! He got really excited and made me a "Paper Plane by the Rufete". It was incredible and came with a little paper plane that one of the waitresses makes by hand. The felt pretty special. Overall great experience. Will be back.

The venerable old Lexington on Grand Avenue in St. Paul has a long and well-deserved reputation as a supper club and steakhouse, smoking hot plates, serving up big beautiful portions and steaks perfectly. I'll just cut to the Chase the food is excellent! Service is proficient, professional and gets it. Well trained and mannered. Brandi old fashions are a must (even non-alcoholic versions). The weight staff is confident and most assured of their abilities, but nevertheless, friendly and approachable . The ambience is old-school St. Paul. It may as well be 1952; wouldn't know the difference. Classic and well decorated. Cool historical photos in the lounge area! Jimmy Carter was here? Plenty of parking on street. The parking lot in back is small and cramped. Stay on street. It's best to make a reservation, and to let them know if you have any special desires- they will earnestly try to fulfill your special request. I think the Lexington is fun! It's a little bit of a time machine... like eating dinner in a movie set. I will go back again with a larger group and share the massive side dishes.

The Lexington is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the Twin Cities. It is an excellent spot for a night out with friends, celebrate a special occasion (there were a lot of grads tonight), a date, or a family meal. This historic dining establishment features several spaces, each with its own charm. This time, we sat in the main dining area, which has all the trimmings of a classic fine dining restaurant. Dark wood, faceted crystal chandeliers, and tufted chairs come together to make you feel like you have stepped back in time to the mid-century era. This mood is reflected in the menu, where you will find classic American fine dining favorites like a Brandy Alexander and steak Diane alongside modern fare like vegan bolognese (featuring Impossible Meat). It's an amazing experience to dine here. This evening, I started with the Petite Greens, a simple salad comprised of greens, assorted shaved vegetables, fresh herbs, and a just-zippy-enough vinaigrette. Everything was fresh as can be and perfectly prepared--a gorgeous and inviting presentation. It is a very generous portion. For my main, I had the vegan bolognese. It was an excellent marriage of the traditional and modern--the classic tomato sauce was that comforting and familiar taste you remember, but it was made with ingredients for more modern palates: Impossible Meat and a gluten free pasta (cooked to a perfect Al denté). You'll also love the use of pine nuts here. We also had a side that was the star of the evening--roasted mushrooms with truffle butter and crispy leeks. This was truly the star of the evening for me: savory, salty, chewy, tender, crispy... it's all of my favorite things in one bite. I would eat this for any meal, any time. Again, the portions were generous--I have lunch for tomorrow for sure! For dessert, I had to dig deep (see above: generous portions), but the chocolate cake with caramel sauce was 100% worth it. Exactly the right level of sweetness, a lovely crumb on the cake and creaminess to the frosting, and a unique caramel sauce that the cake absorbed to add some toasty and salty contrast. This slice of cake is massive, so expect to share. The Lexington is also known for its bar, so you know to expect a good selection. You won't be disappointed. The extensive wine list will please any aficionado, and the beer and cocktail offerings are also impressive. They have some lovely zero-proof options as well. I had the lavender lemon drop and really liked it--you'll not be disappointed if you're a non-drinker and want to have something festive. Fabulous service from Grace and Maxwell (and everyone else) made this a particularly enjoyable meal.

Old school steakhouse vibes meets excellent cocktails and service. Pricey but worth it. Went with a group of 7 for a friends birthday and was not disappointed. We were greeted and walked thru the drink menu as well as their food specials for the evening. Loved my tucky old fashioned! Steaks were cooked perfectly, pot pie was delicious and the desserts of chocolate cake, crème brûlée, & grasshopper pie to share were just the right ending to our experience. Exceeded expectations - will be back!
