Best Brunch Restaurants in South St. Paul

Not that impressed. Music way too loud. Salad was great, meat was wonderful, server Shawn/Sean (Not sure) attentive, friendly, very good. Sides way over priced. Spicy Lobster mac & cheese, too spicy, 4 little pieces of lobster. Mushrooms were ok. My fillet done to perfection. Both of my Brandy Manhattans were watery.

The three of us agreed that our food was tasty, and we really enjoyed the ambience. Service was attentive and effective.

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.

Boca Chica has been a tradition for our family every Valentine’s Day 8 years running. My parents used to come here in the late 60’s, early 70’s when it was just a small handful of tables. It’s been a hallmark in our family for over a half century. I eat Taco house for lunch many times a month…..probably more than I should admit. Best refried beans in town imo.

We enjoy coming to Mallards to eat whether with friends or date night. We haven't been disappointed yet. The pecan crusted Walleye is my husbands favorite and a must keep on the menu. Thank you for the awesome service and wonderful meal!!
