Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Saint Paul Park

We have dined at Holman's Table many times and have always had good to exceptional experiences with food, service, or both. This was our first visit for brunch prior to going to a Minnesota Frost afternoon game. All we can say is WOW! As with the regular dinner menu, the offering is narrow, but with enough variety to meet everyone's pallet. The service we received was spot on with a great knowledge of the menu displayed by our server as we asked questions about different items. This was only topped by the food which was spectacular with a variety of flavors coming together. I am not a generally a go to benedict person, but the mixture of flavors of the crab cake benedict certainly put me in the very clean plate club. My wife had mushroom toast. Mushroom toast was a known flavor to us which we've enjoyed from the dinner menu, but the breakfast version when combined with eggs and greens expanded the pallet and were very tasteful. We can't wait for another opportunity to come in and try other items on the brunch menu.

The four of us had exceptional food. The portions are extremely large. My husband and I shared the pork chop dinner and felt satisfied with just having half the meal and adding either a soup or a salad. The dessert portions are also huge, definitely a share size dessert. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is kind of loud. This is not a cheap restaurant but very good food and you get what you paid for.

Excellent experience! Service was warm and friendly!! Lots of dishes that were easy for sharing, which was nice so we could try more of a variety and everything tasted delicious! The Baked Alaska is a must get item!

Our server Sophia was excellent! She was super knowledgeable about the menu & in the Christmas spirit. She helped us decide on portions & gave great advice so as to not order too much. There were 5 of us for Xmas dinner & shared the small chicken parmigiana, spaghetti & meatballs & a pepperoni pizza & we did still have some leftovers. Plus a great bottle of red wine to share between 3 of us. It was becoming quite busy as the evening went on but they had enough help & food came out very quickly after we ordered. Thank You Buca St Paul for a great way to celebrate Christmas! Sophia caught us before leaving to give us discount cards to use up until Feb & we for sure will come back by then.
