WA Frost has always emphasized family farms and locally sourced foods. Of course, we didn’t start that practice because it’s good for the environment. We did it because it was the only way to get the quality of ingredients that deserve to be on your plate. That means that your menu will change seasonally. When you source locally, your menus adapt to the growing and harvesting season. What the...

A "cozy", fireplace-filled interior and a "stunning" garden patio make this "elegant" Cathedral Hill American a "perennial favorite" for "politicos", "ladies who lunch" and others drawn to its "historic charm"; a menu of "well-prepared" "classics" and cocktails courtesy of bartenders who "know how to make a drink" add to the reasons it's a "St. Paul institution."

W.A. Frost Restaurant Review

Any of Frost's dining areas are a good choice, each evoking a Victorian charm that is genuine, not out of some restaurant designer's playbook. Moreover, there is no better place in St. Paul to meet for a first date than the elegant and sophisticated bar. In the summer, the patio in back is an essential experience. The multiple levels, soft lighting and lush greenery make us wish fall would...

In Short
Located in the shadow of St. Paul Cathedral, this refined 1889 brownstone is the essence of romance. The handsomely elegant dining rooms with fireplaces, oil paintings and...

W. A. Frost & Company came highly recommended by a couple of St. Paul residents after a visit to the J. J. Hill House.
We walked into the restaurant by entering the bar area (thinking we would be eating in the restaurant). Not one employee...

We recently dined here with another couple. We had reservations for their patio but still had to wait fifteen to twenty minutes. Their patio is one of the best outdoor eating venues in the Twin Cities. The wait staff was prompt and friendly. The had...

We enjoyed a fine dinner with decent service. I had a shrimp appetizer and a cocktail-it was all good, if not really great, but the overall experience was very nice and I would suggest going here especially if you can be on the patio which...

The place is really nice and we got the dinner in the outside patio under the trees and the moonlight... Amazing!
That being said the menu is interesting but the preparation of the food did not meet my taste.
The grilled steak looked like “steamed”...

We ordered food and drinks on the patio - the food was okay, drinks were fine but the patio was the best part of it. Definitely paying for the atmosphere here. Also have been in the basement, too - very large dining area and different...

Tips about this business (4)

Where to Sit

Smokers are welcome in the outdoor patio, which is close to the bar.

Know Before You Go

With a fine list of sherries, ports and scotch--plus a romance-novel setting--the bar is one Fitzgerald would have loved. In fact, he once frequented this spot back when it was a drugstore.

What to Drink

In winter, order a hot specialty drink (try Dave's Wonderful Keoke Coffee) and take it downstairs to sip by the fire.

When to Go

While the bar is open through all the hours listed, the restaurant has set lunch and dinner hours. Lunch hours Monday-Saturday are 11:15am-1:30pm, dinner hours Monday-Thursday are 5:30pm-10pm, dinner hours Friday-Saturday are 5pm-11pm. Sunday brunch hours are 10:30am-2pm and Sunday dinner hours are 5pm-10pm
