Great, intimate spot on West 7th. The Emerald Lounge has a fantastic bar program and a variety of interesting small plates and entree's. The highlight of the food for me was the Zucchini Toast. I also really enjoyed the mussels. Seating is a mix of low tops and comfortable couches perfect for an afterwork happy hour. Food prices are very reasonable and the cocktails are in line with the going rate for unique drinks. There is no parking lot but we had no trouble finding parking within a block even on a Friday evening.
Emerald Lounge didn't do much to impress me last night. The Cocktails weren't my favorite, obviously I didn't have the whole menu, but the three I had were meh. The food seems like an afterthought, I think the desserts weren't anything to write home about either. I doubt I'd come back, there are a lot of cocktail bars [email protected]
This is an awesome spot. Classic Saint Paul place on West 7th. Great chill vibe with excellent food and cocktails. The service was on point and I’d go back any time.
Classy little place with great cocktails and short but ample menu. We had the butternut squash hand pie and the beef mandu. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere ranked high for us. Loved it!
Everyone is aces. Been about 5 times they opened, nicely done service in that it's very approachable and relaxing without being aloof. The foods always been solid, from the nduja, to the shrimp and grits (with actual heat!) And the weird star of the show, chips and dip. Cocktails are solid- thoughtful and polished without being showy, even my highball order had a subtle spin up. Solid wine list, but the star of the show for me is a short yet fantastic cider list.
Dope, dope, dope. This is the neighborhood spot we needed in St Paul. Drinks are stellar and the muscles are a must. My date was pretty great too.
EVERYTHING was phenomenal!!!Started with a “Hot Whiskey” to break the cold, hit the Pei Mussels and the Golden Sprouts, and hit the Braised Pork Shank for the entre. Finished off with a Brownie / Carmel Crumble cake combo with the Caddagh Coffee! And the Fireside Old Fashion was FIRE!!! Amazing experience from food to drink to atmosphere! This place SCREAMS date night!
This place was just fabulous. Had the best drink I've had in 10 years! Spicy and sweet, it was an off the menu treasure called Mother of Dragons, I think. I'm glad they weren't afraid to make it hot. And the ambiance was effortlessly cool and vintage. Went there for a date night and can't wait to go there again!
Unique crafted drinks, you may wait a bit to get your drink but it's worth the wait. This is a nice little Bistro to sit and relax with good friends and conversation. We had some food which like the drinks was unique and hot the spot, a good pairing. I would recommend this to 2 to 4 people too chat and relax, larger groups may want to look else where.
Lovely date spot with great cocktails. Good gluten free options but I was informed it is not a dedicated GF kitchen. The Anne with an E cocktail was top notch! The Tia Maria coffee pudding was DELICIOUS. The Old Fashioned left something to be desired. Ambiance great, lovely decor, surreal to imagine I was doing Utkatasana in this same room in the Before Times.
