What People Are Saying About Fhima's

Citysearch
In Short – It's for the see-and-be-seen of not only St. Paul, but all of the Cities. A few low tables and mini-bars are scattered around for lounging; a wall of wine bottles surrounds one table; a booth is strewn with swanky red and burgundy pillows. Chef David Fhima is known for strong French, Mediterranean and Moroccan flavors. Items include Greek nachos with pepperoncini, olives and feta and a crisp pizza balancing salty Gorgonzola with sweet red onions.

The restaurant and lounge is closed and out of business. I will continue to type to make sure I use my minimum of 100 characters

Unfortunately, Fhima's is no longer open, so if you are looking for a bite in downtown Saint Paul, you'll be best off looking somewhere else. If you are interested in a menu from David Fhima, he is still the head chef at LoTo last time I checked, which is in lowertown St. P in the bottom of Galtier Plaza.
- Pros: Good food
- Cons: Closed...

New Menu, Still Great Food
by gonewithawind at Citysearch
I've been to this restaurant a couple of times since it opened and was definately concerned this last year with all the bad media coverage Fhima's recieved as it has been one of my favorites...So, I stopped by for the first time in a while last Saturday and was pleasently surprised to see it fairly busy despite the bitter cold. My friend and I started with a drink at the bar, unsure if we were going to stay for dinner. We ordered two of their signature infused Martini - the Fantini - which is always good and chatted for a bit. While we were chatting the bartender mentioned that they had just made a change to their menu and offered to show us. We took a look and were interested in some of the new items so we decided to stay for dinner, The bartender arranged for a nice table by the window - a nice touch and we sat down to get started with our meal. On our servers reccomendation (she took us through the menu even though we had been there before but since it there were a number of new items we didn't mind) we started with the Wedge Salad (me) and a bowl of the Harira (my friend). The wedge sald was excellent with a nice combination of blue cheese and candied walnuts - definately my kind of thing. My friend thought the Harira was a little different from the soups he usually liked but found in interesting and I tasted abit and really liked the spices in it. For the main course I tried the new duck and my friend went with the Pesto Halibut. Now it was time for wine and unfortunately the list was a little thin - the server told me that they are changing the list - but we found a decent red at a good price that went well with our dinners. I loved the duck! Really cool presentation with a halved duck breast in some sort of plum sauce and a layered phyllo and duck pastry on the side. My Friend also enjoyed the Halibut - only complaint is that the menu is now ala carte and he missed the potatoes from the old halibut! Oh well! Glad to see Fhima's doing well again.
- Pros: Like the new menu; great bartenders
- Cons: heat had trouble keeping up with the cold
