Restaurants near Lexington Park

My husband and I had lunch at Baldamar for the first time. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the staff! Our server was friendly and knew the menu inside and out. My husband loved his prime rib sandwich! I enjoyed the harvest salad and sweet potato fries. The chipotle aioli that accompanied the fries was also very flavorful. We ordered the brussel sprouts based on our server’s recommendation and they were also very tasty and crispy. We appreciated the attention to detail in the way the cocktails were served in quality glassware with nice garnishes. The menu has a great variety overall but I’d have loved to see a few more vegetarian entree options. Something heartier than soup or salad.. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is great.. definitely upscale vibe and the menu prices reflect that. Definitely a great restaurant for a date night or dinner with friends! However, due to higher prices on menu items we’d save Baldamar for special occasions.

Another wonderful night at Chianti! The food and atmosphere was excellent!!

Delicious dinner, great service and beautifully decorated for the holidays! I had the lobster and spinach bacon salad. My husband had soup, walleye and baked potato. Warm rolls were served too. Chocolate torte for dessert was awesome!

We were lucky enough to book a table for six for my husband's birthday celebration at short notice. We had wanted to visit The Lex for a while, so we felt fortunate that there was an availability. Our group was treated so well by each and every member of the staff, from beginning to end. It went from a birthday dinner to a truly special event, and it was due to the outstanding care taken by everyone who interacted with us. The history of The Lexington is enough to bring diners in, and the staff share their knowledge of the restaurant as a St. Paul icon in a way that makes you want to return. Our server, Matt, was incredibly knowledgeable, upbeat, and thoroughly professional. He had excellent suggestions for drink pairings and took time to converse and answer questions without being invasive. The food was delicious and approachable. The burrata starter was like a deconstructed caprese, and the tomato jam and garlicky grilled bread put it over the top. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the salmon was outstanding. Two at the table had the classic chicken pot pie and were happy with that choice. Our cocktails were fabulous, with the grapefruit negroni being a standout. My husband was treated with a complimentary birthday sundae, and my creme brulee was delicious with fresh whipped cream and berries served on the side. The topper to the evening came when an official birthday portrait of all of us was taken at tableside, printed out for us, and presented in a Lexington-branded card to commemorate the event. So special and such a classy way to top it all off! The restaurant was a bit loud in our section, but once it cleared out a little, it was much more subdued and intimate. We will absolutely return, and we recomment it highly for special events.

Early Christmas Eve lunch with cocktails. Such an eclectic menu! Great service!
