Editorial Review for W.A. Frost & Company – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Located in the shadow of St. Paul Cathedral, this refined 1889 brownstone is the essence of romance. The handsomely elegant dining rooms with fireplaces, oil paintings and Victorian wallpaper are a favorite anniversary, engagement or impress-your-date spot. Come summertime, it's lovebird heaven outside, with tree branches wrapped in twinkling white lights canopied over an old-fashioned bricked courtyard. Rich dishes include Merlot-steeped short ribs and seared mahi mahi with crunchy almonds.

My wife and I love W.A Frost. It is always our first choice for date night. We especially love it at the bar - always great service and the bar menu is great food to share in a more relaxed setting. Our current favorite is the BLT with fries - it is so good. We highly recommend the bar for a great dinner or a relaxing drink. Can a brag about the patio in March? The patio is the best in the twin cities.
Pros: great service & great ambiance
Cons: it is a popular place, Valet parking is great on the weekend

We called ahead and made reservations for our 2nd wedding anniversary. The staff wished us as we entered and got us the best spot on the floor by the fire. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food. We ordered their goat cheese pizza which just melted in our mouth, so heavenly, then got the cauliflower soup which was even better, absolutely smooth and drizzled with a sundried tomato pesto oil, just delicious. For salad, we had the beet/goat cheese, it had a yum dressing and was excellent. My husband had the fish for maincourse and cleaned his plate clean! after all that before. I had a yaki soba with leek preparation which was alright, the waiter noticed my reaction and just took it off our bill!!! It was good but he wanted me to say it was excellent :) Our dessert - a perfect not too sweet, pumpkin cake with spiced icecream and a pistachio cream. I cant praise this place enough. They were so mindful and the decor was warm, cozy, perfect for a romantic date.
Pros: best service, top notch flavors and a very warm cozy ambiance
Cons: none
