Seasonal farm-to-table menu, unique cocktails, cozy ambiance
"Chef Eric Simpson’s Herbst menu is hyper-seasonal, stacked with dishes like kabocha squash with creamed kale, chicken liver creste di gallo with burgundy truffles, and concord grape ice cream. Following in St. Paul’s grand tradition of exceptional neighborhood restaurants, it’s a great spot for a date night that feels special but not over-the-top — the atmosphere is warm and approachable." - Eater Staff
"Herbst is the rebuttal to the diner who doesn’t order the pasta because “we could just make it at home!” Here, unusual extruded pastas — creste di gallo, with curved, spiny edges; the snail-shell swirl of lumache — are set in conversation with equally unusual techniques and ingredients, like fennel pollen, a salt and vinegar breadcrumb, or sticky-sour agrodulce and spicy radish greens." - Julie Yu
"Herbst’s breezy, hyper-seasonal menu is built for patio dining." - Justine Jones
"Herbst’s lovely curved bar, which welcomes walk-ins, serves cocktails in five flavor themes: mineral, bitter, funky, earthy, and seasonal. (Each theme has full proof, low-proof, and no-proof options.) Infused with fresh notes of jasmine, blood orange, sumac, and lemon, this cocktail list is well-matched with Herbst’s hyper-seasonal, farm-to-table menu." - Eater Staff
"Tucked away on an unsuspecting St. Paul street corner, Herbst exemplifies the city's knack for low-key fancy neighborhood restaurants and feels like a little bright sun for its neighborhood." - Eater Staff
