Best Lunch Restaurants in New Brighton

The Northern Starlight Express Experience was such so fun and entertaining! It provides a fun, holiday ambience, along with some extremely high quality small bites and cocktails! Although I wouldn’t recommend coming extremely hungry, we left very satisfied and would highly recommend!

I have been here a couple times and both experiences were outstanding. A little higher priced than most, but I think it is well worth the extra cost. The Chicken Marsala is to die for. Best I have ever eaten, hands down. It is my go to dish, but I am sure everything is good on the menu. Enjoy!!

This was our first visit to Baldamar. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. I knew the menu looked good but we had no idea what to expect going in. It was one of the top experiences we have ever had at a restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy, sexy, and fun. We were greeted at our table with some confetti and a birthday card. Mason was our server and he made the experience so special. He took the time to walk us through the menu and the specials and offered us personal recommendations which we needed since everything looked wonderful! We had the holiday charcuterie board which we absolutely devoured. My husband ordered the prime ribeye and I had the miso sea bass- delicious! We will definitely be back and recommend Baldamar to any of our friends and family looking for a top-of-the-line chop house experience without the traditional pretentiousness.

The food was ok White meat turkey was out Prime rib was flavorless as were the desserts But the staff was amazing Our server was attentive and so nice

We have enjoyed Nicollet Island Inn since our honeymoon 33 years ago and are fortunate it is in our neighborhood. Reliable excellence and caring service.
