We three were celebrating the youngest sister's birthday with a brunch at Holman's Table and we were NOT disappointed. While I had enjoyed dinners there before, the other two had not even heard of the place that was part of the St. Paul Downtown Airport, not that far from where we lived decades ago as children on the lower West Side. The food and service were excellent. Our server, Anne G., was knowledgeable, competent and gracious. In addition to prompt service, she fulfilled our every request, like getting a bit more of that wonderful salad dressing and getting a picture of the jar from which the marvelous whole grain mustard came. Everything was DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. We highly recommend the farro/walnut/yellow beet/ apple/spring green salad with Champagne dressing, the mushroom toasts and scrambled egg breakfast and the Charcuterie board for a starter. The birthday cheesecake dessert was wonderful; and, they even gave the birthday girl a gift certificate with which to visit again. The decor was so fitting for the 1930s era building at an airport. We will return.

Met a business colleague there for lunch and was impressed. Lots of light made the space feel open and airy. Menu was diverse. I chose the meatloaf which was a daily lunch feature and my friend had the Reuben which he said was excellent and looked amazing. The meatloaf was very good and a large portion. I would come back for happy hour to see who the restaurant draws in the evening.
