“Went to the holiday lights show. I was not sure if it would be worthwhile, but I and all the kids we brought really enjoyed the stroll through different areas of the light show. The slide was fun too.”

“We did the history tour and loved it. Our guide, Mary, did a great job of presenting the facts and also keeping it interesting. We will be coming back to do their other tours in the future!”
“We recently hosted an event for some of our colleagues at this incredible venue. Outstanding. From beginning to end, everything was top-notch. 7 Vines Vineyard and Winery is simply amazing.”

“My husband and I recently spent four nights at the St Paul Hotel while attending the Minnesota Yacht Club music festival. The location was the initial draw as it was walking distance to the venue. We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many nice hotels and we both agreed that this was one of our favorites! The building itself is beautiful and our room was immaculate. Some of the best room service and house keeping we’ve experienced. The St Paul Grill is the onsite restaurant and the food and service was superb! A bit pricey but well worth it. There is also a lobby bar which has coffee and pastries in the mornings or you can have breakfast at the Drake which was also amazing. It’s rare that we leave a place with no complaints but it happened during this stay! Book a stay at the St Paul. You will not be disappointed!”
“Some wonderful friends who are members of TPC Twin Cities invited us to enjoy dinner there with them. It was a privilege to visit this top-notch private golf club in person.
It is close to their home near this Blaine, MN Deacon's Walk subdivision. They talk a lot of how they enjoy their membership and taking meals here. It was delightful to sit out on the back deck and overlook the beautiful grounds. I was impressed with the staff. Each server and our waitress were remarkable friendly, helpful, and professional. It’s a welcoming family atmosphere, as we saw several young gentlemen in their sports uniforms accompanied by adults.
Beverages and food were served timely and I think the prices are very fair. For appetizers, the beef bites with horseradish sauce and toasted bread with mozzarella cheese with vegies and pine nuts were our favorites. I had the Parmesan Crusted Walley with creamed spinach and a side of asparagus. It presented beautifully and tasted even better. My friend usually orders the Cod and our other companion like the salmon with mashed potatoes.
The Mojito has lots of lime and mint flavors coming through perfectly.
It was fun to see setup for the Champions Tour's 3M Championship in progress, and the men were impressed with their tour of the guy’s fancy locker facilities. The Club House, entrance/grounds, locker rooms and Course all appear to be immaculately maintained.
Parking was no problem. It is very pleasant with the big boulders edging the back patio and a beautiful blend of yellow and red perennials introducing the front entrance.
Highly recommended!”
“We held our wedding reception at North Garden in October of 2023. Ryan and Tina could not have been more gracious and helpful in executing our perfect day. We had an unexpected issue with one of our vendors as the reception began; Ryan, Tina and their staff jumped right in to help us problem solve a solution, which we could not have been more grateful for. The space is a perfect size for all types of events, and Ryan's prior stage management experience is invaluable in helping to create the perfect internal atmosphere for whatever the space is being used for. We cannot recommend North Garden Theatre enough, and wish we could give more than a 5 star rating!”
“Victoria and 413 on Wacouta are absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I could not be more thrilled with choosing this venue for our special day. First of all, the ceremony and reception happened in the same place so we didn't have to worry about transferring anywhere - huge plus! Secondly, we are huge fans of St. Paul and being able to have roof access to take photos with the St. Paul skyline was so perfect. Everything went smoothly and Victoria was a huge help on our day making sure everyone was where they needed to be. She was a great go-to person. The venue is absolutely beautiful - very good St. Paul vibes! We will always recommend this venue and Victoria to anyone!”
“Staying here was my favorite thing about my visit to St Paul. It was so comfortable, relaxing, and interesting in the best way! Harriet island is very nice to walk around. On the Inn you'll also experience excellent views. I watched the sunset from the upper deck. Lot's of peaceful entertainment watching the birds. Not far from downtown but really feels like an escape. Has every modern amenity, despite being a boat! Came to St Paul for a conference at the intercontinental and stayed here on my last night, I wish I had stayed here the whole time! It is a very short walk. The owner is very kind and accommodating. I'm vegan and she made me a delicious breakfast. Staying at the Covington is really a must-do! I hope I have an excuse to come back and cannot recommend it highly enough!
Rooms: So cute and comfy! I was in the mates quarters. I wish I stayed more than one night. It was perfect
Nearby activities: Explore the island!
Safety: Felt very safe
Walkability: Not far from downtown! I walked to and from there.
Food and drinks: The host prepared a lovely breakfast accommodating my vegan! There's also a fridge in the room, and a kitchen area in the lobby. I enjoyed having the kettle for tea. I got takeout for lunch from babani's nearby (delicious!)”
“A beautiful space for weddings and other events. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a lot of miscommunication from the day-of-event coordinator with the bride that left her stressed.”
“We had our wedding reception here (ceremony offsite). We were able to get ready at the College Club with our wedding parties, take photos there, and then come back after our ceremony for the reception. It was a great space for couple, family, and wedding party photos!
The planning experience felt a little disorganized at times, and sometimes it felt like we needed to communicate things multiple times leading up to the day, but things really came together in the end.
However, our day-of coordinator (Keelia) did an incredible job helping our day run smoothly! She had an infectious positive attitude even when we were stressed by a dress bustling issue that kept pushing back the timeline.
This is a beautiful space for a reasonable price!”

“How do you review something so timeless. As a little one I came here frequently with my family and I would get so excited I would make myself sick! (Or so they say, I probably have issues with crowds or something). Anyway, I started volunteering in the vet med area in 2023 and I am so glad to be back - I actually kind of preferred walking around by myself! I am glad they've been getting more vegan options. I was there in 2019 to see Brandi Carlile and that was my first time Grand Standing it. Always so much to do and so little time!”
“First thing you notice is the smell, they definitely do some serious bbq here! they have a decent size bar, with exceptionally kind staff, I got the 3 meat with th 2 sides, chicken was decent, brisket was good but those ribs is where they shined! Mac and cheese was hot and definitely wasnt no velveeta, corn bread was lathered in butter and too hot to eat, fantastic meal with even more fantastic people.”
“All I know is that this place brings precious moments to my mind. Over 47 years ago as a newlywed to an University of Minnesota foreign student, both of us from Venezuela. Thankyou Minneapolis an Saint Paul for the memoirs.”
“Underrated place to go bowling. The lane systems seem new and it’s not too overcrowded generally. The food is great and so is the beer. My only complaint is that they used to have a dart board and no longer do ”
“This venue is an excellent choice for hosting quinceañeras, weddings, and other events. The DJ was fantastic, and the decorations were stunning. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, and the security ensured everyone felt safe. The food was delicious, making the experience even better. Everything you need for a memorable event is in one place. Highly recommended! The staff were also wonderful and attentive. ?”
“Nice parking lot.I just pulled over to text. They were closed.But seems nice.No idea what this place does.I'll have to look them up however. Because their parking lot is just great.”
“Cute venue. Just delivered a Wedding cake here for a wedding. Marylynn was so sweet and helpful when I had to set the cake up. Definitely would recommend this venue.”
