Editorial Review for St. Paul Grill – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Located in the historic and posh Saint Paul Hotel, the Grill is high-energy. It's popular with the dressed-up pre-theater crowd, and a gathering spot for political powers-that-be. First-time visitors should peek inside the hotel's fancy lobby (circa 1910) before stepping into the dining room's moneyed atmosphere--mahogany woodwork, gleaming brass, booths topped with frosted-glass partitions and tables set with heavy linens. The standard grill offerings include beef tenderloin and the signature bourbon pork chops.

My husband and I returned last week and had a great dinner. The food is above average and they have a great wine menu as well as some choice single malt scotch selections. I do love the dark wood interior and linen clad tables. Do not come here if your sole purpose is to eat cheap. This is about dining and dining well. It's a very civilized atmosphere and we appreciate that. There is easy parking across the street at the ramp near Kincaid's. If you make it clear to your server that you will not be rushed they will honor that request. In fact, that is something I make clear in all restaurants and it is never a problem. Restaurants want their patrons to communicate their needs. We have also used them for business meetings and executive sessions and they have been more than accommodating. This place is a class act.
Pros: This reminds me of the old school steak houses I grew up with, like Chasens.
Cons: None

Just average. Steak was bland. Nice atmosphere and view. Candles and white linen tablecloths. A little too cozy. Best part of the meal was the mashed potatoes. Nothing special. We won't be back. Too much to spend for only an average meal. You could get the same kind of steak at Outback Steakhouse for a lot less money. Actually, Outback may be better.
Pros: ambience, view
Cons: bland food, poor parking situation, expensive
