It was my first time at The Lexington. Very typical, hard to find a parking spot. We had to pay at a lot across the street. Inside consists of several smaller rooms, each with a different appeal. The drinks were excellent. I would recommend the Sidecar or the number 9, very smooth. Two of the four meals were a miss. My wife had the lobster spaghetti. She felt it was way too salty. My cousin ordered the whitefish and she said the same. I had the pot pie, which I highly recommend. Another guest had the filet and he said that was great. Upon hearing the two meals weren't great, a manager approached and instantly offered refunds on those dishes, which was a nice touch. I would give them 5 stars if not for the meals. However, I still recommend and will go back. Just back off on the salt and we're good.

This is a first rate establishment! Staff are excellent. Could not ask for a better server. He was attentive but not pesky. The food was superb. We had Fillet (add Diane). Atmosphere was wonderful. This restaurant is a Jewel in St Paul. Will definitely be back!

Wow! This place is what dining is like in older movies. Swanky, posh and phenomenal food. Just a wonderful experience! The drinks are crafted precisely. By that, I mean the bartender takes their time and does right. Well done. We went (unbeknownst to us) during "Restaurant Week." So they had an added menu just for the occasion. The Texas Tenderbites (listed as an appetizer) were delicious and addictive. We wanted more but thankfully refrained. The Butternut Squash Soup was absolutely superb! You have to try it. Next was the Diane (steak). The rich smokey flavor was mouthwatering! I have to say, I couldn't bear to use the sauce that came with it due to the flavor being so amazing. We capped it off with one chocolate cake and one key lime pie. They're dessert, so they're rich and filling. But good Lord were they incredible! The service was spot on. Tim was our server and was fantastic! One thing to mention is that there is parking in the back. But, the parking lot is very small and there's only one way in and out. So you might want to be prepared to park elsewhere. Just a heads-up. This is a must visit! I hope this helps. Cheers!

OMG….. where to begin? This place is hands down the best old school steakhouse I have been to. The wait staff is by far the most professional and courteous group I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The wow factor is a 10 with the staff. The food?? Well I TRIED to find a complaint…… but there are none. We had steak, potatoes, asparagus and steak tar tar. WOW……. And again….. we TRIED to find a flaw but there was none!!! If your looking for an amazing meal for ANY occasion (or just because you want an amazing steak) then I highly recommend this place

The place had a fancy vibe that looked like it was suitable for business meals. Most people were dressed in a corporate manner even when it was on a weekend. The food was excellent and the service was on point! The waiters were wearing uniforms that showed that they were a restaurant with class. My only critique was that it was slightly expensive. As much as it was a fancy restaurant and I did not expect the price to be cheap, the quality and price still had an imbalance in my opinion. We did not manage to try the chicken pot pie because it was out of stock, so we will be back to try that next time!

Wonderful evening at the Lexington!!! . We went for a birthday celebration and they really know how to make you feel special!!!!Our waiter Phillip was so knowledgeable and attentive to us. The food outstanding!!! Was a wonderful experience and we love going here for special occasions! The after dinner drink the pink squirrel is amazing!!

My friends and I ate dinner on a Wednesday night in the fancy (stuffy) dining room. Next time we should try the bar or jazz room. Service was excellent food was good. The beet salad was the best dish I ate. The lobster toast was okay, I won’t get that again. Vesper cocktail was another highlight!

I had such a special birthday dinner here! Service was wonderful from start to finish, everyone we encountered was so polite and accommodating. We ordered the steak tartare, scallops, and lobster sandwich. I got the cutest scoop of ice cream with a little birthday candle on top. They even took a complimentary printed photograph. I will definitely return for another celebration.

The Lexington is an institution. This was our first time dining here and it was amazing. The food. The service. The atmosphere. All top notch. Probably my favorite of all the steakhouses in the Twin Cities. I’m going to ruffle some feathers but the food here is every bit as good as Burns Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. You owe it to yourself to make reservations here and have the meal of a lifetime.

We had a wonderful dinner, the music and ambiance was we nice but a touch loud to talk over. We would highly recommend the lobster, cauliflower cheese dip for an appetizer! The porterhouse was absolutely delicious with a side of seared scallops! There was something so amazing about the baked potato I think it might have been the creaminess of the butter or sour cream.

The unctuous delights of The Lex can't be ignored. Everything from the service to the birthday card was on point and welcoming and utterly delicious. I highly recommend it - especially those magical mashed potatoes. SO GOOD!

This has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, and that’s a bold statement since I grew up with my family working in the fine dining restaurant industry. I like my steak rare, so it’s very easy for a place to over cook my food, but not here! Perfect!! Side dishes were honestly enough for two people. Service & timing was impeccable! Employees went above & beyond in every way. I literally didn’t have to ask for a single thing, it was already being done for us. The restaurant itself has great decor, very comfortable, with class, and an open kitchen concept. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. They now have a life long customer.

We have lived in the St Paul area for 14 years and can't believe we never ate here. The walleye cakes are on another world level of tasty and the Caesar salad may be the best I have had in my life. They were out of the wine we ordered but they gave us a higher priced bottle in place of it. Ask for Ashton as your waiter, he is fabulous. There were some slight miscues: out of order mashed potatoes (which was amazing) came to the table without our entrees, an extra appetizer came too, and they were out of the chicken pot pie (nooooooooooo!!!! Must come back I guess). The gnocchi was also incredible, wow! Last thing I will say, the atmosphere is fantastic if you like a dimly lit lounge and Sinatra music. The Moscow Mule on tap might be the best ever.

The Lexington is one of the best Restaurant in all of St. Paul, definitely worth checking out if your passing through, for a special occasion or just want to experience high quality food with one of the most friendly and knowledgeable staff in the entire Twin Cities!

We had a wonderful, quiet anniversary dinner here. Service was attentive, without being hovering. The food was phenomenal, including the oysters, scallops, steak and the chicken pot pie. Cocktails were well done, and delicious. Can't wait tob come back.

The service was top notch! The roof top dining was perfect, large area, it’s own bar cutely decorated and plenty of umbrellas. The server we had he was probably one of the best that we have had in a long time, attentive, informative and made the experience from good to great. I really enjoyed the ny strip steak, it was lightly seasoned with salt and had a nice mild hint of smoke, cooked as requested and good natural flavor. We also enjoyed the pan roasted half chicken. Meals come with complimentary bread and butter. The beverages we ordered were all really good, we had the aviation, the draft mule, sampled the drink of the day and had wine with our meal. The main level inside seating was more in the fancy supper club side and rooftop I felt fine being more causal. Nice place to treat yourself once in awhile!

Everything about the Lexington is an experience. They have it down to a science and they know how to make their guests feel special. The food is exquisite! My husband and I have never received this service or food quality in our dining experiences. Job well done, Lexington staff!

Had a fantastic experience dining at The Lexington this past weekend! The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and so was the food! Our server made wonderful recommendations, 2 of which we took her up on, and we weren't disappointed. Please make time for a full course meal, including drinks, as this delight should not be rushed. The only minor thing that could be critiqued, but hard to avoid, is that we were seated right next to the window looking into the kitchen where they cook certain meals over a hardwood fire. We left smelling of smoke! Just a lingering reminder of our magical dinner at The Lexington!

Our experience at the Lexington was incredible. Jess and Liz helped us that night. We had a party of 15, and they handled us expertly. They were very helpful giving us recommendations on the food, since many of us were new. Everything was out very quick, and even with how many appetizers we'd ordered, the table was never too full with plates. Service was very regular, and I was specifically helped with finding the bathroom as well as putting away leftovers. With this experience, I definitely recommend the Lexington to anyone wishing for great food in a great restaurant.

Fantastic experience! We sat at the bar for dinner and had very attentive and knowledgeable bartenders. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The presentation of our dishes was 10/10! I had the Cesar salad and onion soup 9/10. Service 10/10. Atmosphere 8/10.

We had an incredible experience for our anniversary dinner at the Lexington. We started with the peach and burrata salad for an appetizer (pictured) and had Atlantic Salmon and the Lobster Spaghetti (pictured) for our main entrees. Everything was amazing! We do not drink so we had the mocktails - very refreshing! Our server and the trainee were extremely professional. We will definitely be back- thank you staff of Lexington!

My husband and I went to The Lexington for Restaurant Week. We were not disappointed. The food was fabulous! The Butternut Squash Bisque (with maple creme fresh and spiced pecans was as yummy as it was unique! As usual, the filet was delicious and the salmon exceeded our expectations.

This was my first visit to the Lex. It did not disappoint. Our waitress Madison was brand new and we were her first table that she had helped solo (still in training but on her own). And she knocked it out of the park! Thank you Madison for making our night! The food was amazing! Everything about this place we enjoyed. Highly recommend!

So wonderful! Great service, food, drinks, and ambiance. We've dined both inside and outside on the rooftop and really love the rooftop for a more laid back vibe. This was our 3rd time here and it never disappoints! I'm sure we'll be back again in the near future!
