The service was spectacular! Friendly, helpful, attentive. The hostess and our server both wished me a happy birthday without me even saying anything. (The tiara might have clued them in.) Big shout-out to Priscilla M for making the evening even more enjoyable! I ordered the Pan Seared Salmon from the fall menu, and it was *delicious*! Perfect temperature, full of flavor. For my birthday dessert, I had the Mousse Au Chocolate. I have celiac and both items were (or could be made) gluten-free. We were there on a Friday night, with a party going on upstairs in their private banquet room. It was crowded and pretty loud. The floors are old firehouse floors and the ceilings are tall, so sound bounces around easily. Take note of that if you're sensitive to noise. Also, reservations are *highly* recommended, especially on busier nights. There were few, if any, open tables. Speaking of tables, these are *all* tables. No booths. I found the chairs comfortable for the time we spent there at a leisurely dinner. The entire restaurant is accessible, and there's an easily accessible/family bathroom. Other bathrooms are single gender (and only one person at a time). Prices were reasonable, especially for the amount of food and the quality. Just an amazing meal and we will definitely be back!

Nice experience. Beautiful historic fire house turned into a coffee shops/eatery. Looks like they may have an original fireman’s pole. Live the brick. Great service. Beautiful day but we chose to sit inside.i would this is located in the eastern side of Highland in St. Paul.

My husband and I came here for date night and truly enjoyed ourselves. The food was great (and very well-seasoned!) and so were the drinks. The atmosphere was nice and simple. My only critique is that the water glasses have that wet-dog smell (IYKYK). We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Limited chicken options. All of our food was served room temp/not hot. I ordered mashed potatoes and it came with (what seemed like) bbq sauce on it? That wasn’t listed on the menu. I didn’t really enjoy it. Service was also spotty, but the server was nice. Probably would go elsewhere in the future, but it was nice to try.

ADORE this place! Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere, especially the patio, is lovely. We shared the shrimp ceviche, A-side burger, and shawarma bowl. All were really good, but my favorite was the A-side burger. Ceviche was also perfect on a hot day. Will be back!
