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.

This restaurant is one of my favorites! The food is always exceptional, and the modern, beautifully designed atmosphere makes it such a welcoming place to dine. The staff are consistently friendly, professional, and attentive, which adds a personal touch to every visit. I’ve eaten here several times, and each experience has been wonderful. While it can get a little loud at times, it’s never taken away from how much I’ve enjoyed being here.
