The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

    Their caesar salad was different but delicious. It had the romaine lettuce with the usual dressing and then a wide strip of bacon with an sunny side up egg on top. Served with a piece of garlic bread. Amazing but also filling. The short rib special was very tender and tasty with string beans and potatoes as sides. On Thursday nights bottles of wine are half price so the 2020 Opolo Cab from Paso Robles complimented the meal very nicely though it is a little young and will be better in 2-5 yrs. Jeff did a super job. I will return.

    Restaurant was empty…but our service was poor. Our prime rib and 2 rib eye steaks were all over cooked. Never received add-on lobster tail..even though we asked twice. Disappointing

    Our second visit to Joan’s did not disappoint. We brought friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. They greeted us warmly, brought complementary Champagne, and thus launched a lovely evening of fine dining. Every course was extraordinary. Perfect portions, delicious combinations, highly creative. If you’re a foodie, you have to try this place.

    Cozy and pretty interior with excellent acoustics so we could chat easily at the table. Really nice variety on the menu. At our table we ordered walleye sandwiches and a burger, all of which were delicious and hot. Bun and ciabatta bread were fresh, vegetables on the sandwiches were fresh and crisp. Sweet potato fries were excellent, not soggy. Great attentive table service.

    The restaurant is lovely, the food is delicious, and the service is absolutely fantastic. We celebrated my daughter’s 22nd birthday on this visit. The server was incredibly kind and attentive and went out of his way to make her feel special.
