Best Seasonal Restaurants in South St. Paul

Initial inspection was pleasant. When you enter the restaurant, you'll see it's well appointed with mostly natural materials (namely stone walls, funky glass vases, and a very pretty open kitchen). The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The only low was the filet tenderloin. While the sauce was delicious, and the visual was amazing, the meat itself didn't quite make the mark. Otherwise, the appetizers and desert were all amazing and performed. In the end, I would highly recommend this as a great fine-ish (not quite casual, not quite fine dining) dining experience.

Our Valentine's Day evening was perfect at Kincaid's. Our salmon and Chilean sea bass were perfectly cooked, moist, and brought to our table hot. Seasoning and sauces were perfectly balanced. The molten chocolate cake and the apple crumble desserts were wonderful as well. And over all the years Kincaid's still provides the best margarita in town. Thanks to Diego for his menu recommendations, and the rest of the top-notch service. We will be back soon!

The restaurant is lovely, the food is delicious, and the service is absolutely fantastic. We celebrated my daughter’s 22nd birthday on this visit. The server was incredibly kind and attentive and went out of his way to make her feel special.

Always a wonderful experience at Joan's. The food is amazing and we love the fact that it is a family venture. Joan and Susan always remember us - even though we only go there 3-4 times a year. Also love the fact that their 4 course tasting menu does not include a desert course, which we always consider a throwaway. We are patrons for life!

Dinner was spectacular. We got the scallops and pork belly, roasted cauliflower, rainbow trout, artisanal seasonal pasta, roasted carrots, and the donuts and chocolate creme brûlée for dessert. Wow! Everything was so delicious! Our favorite was the trout which had this exquisite sauce and the skin was crispy and delicious. The pasta was awesome with zucchini, peas, asparagus, mint, and lemon. The carrots had the most delicious lemon yogurt sauce! And the cauliflower was seasoned with some Indian tasting spices and had these crispy chickpeas which added the perfect crunch. The donuts were to die for! It’s a huge portion of 10 gigantic beignets style donuts. So good! Amy was our server. She was engaging and attentive and the food came out perfectly timed We will definitely be back!
