The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

It was the same wonderful food, service, quality dining as the Lake Elmo Inn. We loved Corrie our server. She was engaging and fun. We hope more people find the treasure in the 1881 restaurant. It is a nice little find.

We had a LOVELY Christmas dinner at Kincaid's! My companion had the pork chop and I had the prime rib. Both were scrumptious! Our server, Lindsay, was outstanding- as sweet and attentive as could be! This was our third Christmas in a row at Kincaid's- it's become a wonderful tradition!

Perfect setting for Christmas Eve dinner. The prime rib, meatloaf wellington and the scallops were fabulous. You hit it out of the park on all counts from being greeted at the door and having a fabulous server. Kudos well done. We will be back.
