St Pierre Steak and Seafood

As fans of Snack Bar, we were excited to revisit the updated St Pierre, a clear blend of the former Burch + Snack Bar (in a lovely way). Interior is the same cozy vibe and seats at the bar are the best. We took a shot on the new seafood platter and it was the star of the dinner — delicious char, great seasoning and hugely plentiful. Gougères were fun (fontina sauce unnecessary but playful) and we topped off with a steak and the semolina dumplings which made for a great pairing. A note: steak at medium rare was nearly rare to us (and another pair at the bar felt similarly about theirs) so we’ll be adjusting temp next time we order. Suggest really discussing steak temp with the very helpful and accommodating service team when you order. Glad this spot is up and running with a mix of old and new vibes.

Issac Becker and Nancy St Pierre have taken the space across from Bar LaGrassa, which used to be the Snack Bar and have attempted to recreate Burch Steak. I guess Snack Bar wasn’t as packed with customers as Bar LaGrassa and Eatery112. I wasn’t crazy about Burch, and I’m not turned on by the snooty St. Pierre Steak and Seafood. Packed to the gills with the North Loop faithful on a warm Thursday night at the end of March 2025, St. Pierre was already a hit. This was not a warm and fuzzy crowd, and the place did not generate a welcoming vibe. However, the room was loud, and no one seemed to care. Our bartender/server quickly served us water and took our drink order. A younger and trendier couple took the two bar stools next to us, and the bartender almost ran over to see if he could help. Soon, their cocktails arrived. I looked at my wife and shrugged. Fifteen minutes later, I flagged down another male bartender and inquired about our drinks. In seconds, a young woman arrived with the wrong order. A few minutes more, and the correct drink order arrived. Before we could take a sip, the original bar keep came over and asked if we were ready to order food. By the way, the couple next to me, who arrived after us, were already eating dinner. I told the barkeep we would like to enjoy our drinks first before eating. He pirouetted and walked away. Later, I waved down a different bartender and ordered our food. Our dinner was mediocre. I was looking forward to the Gougères, a bite-sized cheese pastry I had last eaten in Montreal. The Gougères at St. Pierre were almost raw and were not crispy. I was disappointed. My wife’s Pickled cauliflower salad was interesting and tasted good. However, her four shrimp with a tasteless, black mayonnaise schmeer were disgusting. My grilled octopus had little taste. Our meal was sad and joyless. The menu needs work, and the staff needs to be taught the art of graciousness. The bill was expensive for the experience provided. St. Pierre has a long way to go to come close to Bar LaGrassa and 112.

St. Pierre is a lovely new addition to the neighborhood. The vibe is very nice, with a casual yet sophisticated feel. The menu in particular has an interesting variety and everything we had was very tasty. The crab salad was very good, though we wished it had more crab meat. Both steaks we had were nearly perfect, and the cheese pastizzi (similar to an empanada) was tasty. For dessert the Crème Brûlée Doughnut and “Snack Bar” were both 10/10. Service was a little slow at times but that was understandable being the restaurant’s first week or two. Everyone was very pleasant.

Everything we had was solid. The crab and seabean salad, foi gras toast with escargot, octopus with fried garlic, hanger steak and branzino were all highlights. Good cocktails.

We chose St. Pierre for our 25th Anniversary meal and it was truly a celebratory meal! Our waiter Adam did an amazing job guiding us to some of the best dishes on the menu. The more we all got to know each other, the more fun we had. The photo is of the Iberico pork for 2. What a dish! That broth was amazing. I can't remember the last time we had more flavorful pork. It could easily serve 4 if you were ordering other dishes as well for the table. The schupfnudelen with gorgonzola are not to be missed. Like long, tender gnocchi they are browned and over the top delicious. Loved the pickled cauliflower salad (fennel seeds give a nice pop) and green beans were made more special with polano cashew sauce. In a town filled with great restaurants, we left feeling we made a great choice. Thank you for being open on a Tuesday night and for making our anniversary a celebration to remember. The food was so interesting, delicious and such generous portions. We'll be back and bring our friends! Thanks again to Adam for his great service. I hope Minneapolis embraces this restaurant so we can all enjoy it for years to come.

A friend and I go out monthly to a nice restaurant and last night I chose St. Pierre Steak and Seafood and this was the best night out by far. Nate was our waiter and he took the time to explain the menu and suggest food options. We decided to share the Olive Oil Shrimp Toast, Crab & Seabean salad and Mushroom Confit w/Taleggio. All were delicious and I enjoyed the mushroom confit the best and my friend loved the crab/seabean salad. Then for our entrees, she chose the Salmon with lemon pesto and I enjoyed the Lobster Cutlet w/Hearts of Palm. I lived in Boston for ten years and had to try it. It didn't disappoint For dessert, Nate recommended the Snack Bar Donut and it was devine. Highly recommend St. Pierre.

Great new addition in North Loop, highly recommend. Zoe was a wonderful server. Cocktails well made, on menu or off. Impressive gin list but ask for prices when ordering, some are definitely higher than they should be. Would be nice if they were listed. Some unique cuts of steak that were quite good, the included house sauces are a nice touch. Snack bar donut and chocolate cake were two of the best desserts we've had.

Typically, the best steakhouse in the Twin Cities is whichever one is being run by Brad Ranum and I could not be happier that he is here. Suzie was our server last night and she did a phenomenal job with everything. Aside from being the best steak in the city, the service feels much more genuine and the vibe is way more welcoming than some of the places you might be thinking of. 10/10.

This is another great addition to downtown Minneapolis offerings of culinary affairs. The building and interior of this restaurant has such old-world charm with its exposed bricks, but with a contemporary culinary menu. It is a little more formal than the beloved former Burch. The ribeye steak, oh my goodness...from the sear to the seasoning, it was prepared with precision and care. The sides and starters show the same thoughtful execution. The service is another standout. It was attentive without being intrusive. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and experience justify the splurge.

Found this place through Yelp and if did not disappoint! I didn't have a reservation and the wait times for walk-ins was over an hour but I snagged a seat from open table! A cute, dimly light restaurant that has amazing food. Everything I ordered was chefs kiss! I sat at the bar and the servers were really attentive and friendly!

I feel like this was an absolute joke. Bring back Snack Bar please... Let's start from the top. We had a reservation for 7:30 and arrived around 7:38 and we were told that we needed to wait for a few minutes.. we were finally seated around 7:55... ok.. I get it.. you need to clear a table etc. Just not ideal when going out of one's way to make a reservation. Anyways. Moving on. Get seated and everything is just taking FOREVER. The waiter coming to us.. getting a beverage.. putting in an order. Our waiter himself was great, he was helpful, gave good information and did the best that he could with what he had.. which lemme tell ya.. WAS NOT A LOT. This place was just absolutely not a vibe. It felt weird.. there was not one piece of decor changed from Snack Bar.. it was all exactly the same but just a different menu. We ordered the little "cheese bites" with the "fondue cheese sauce" as an app as well as the the mussels. Ok. The cheese bites were absolutely a joke. There was no "cheese" they were burnt, all baked inconsistently and came out on a piece of paper? How chinsy and cheap! The taste was no better.. I could make better with flour and non fat greek yogurt. The cheese sauce was indeed not cheese but some watered down creamy concoction with zero profile or texture. Disappointing to say the least. Our waiter noticed we barely ate any and said he would not charge us since I very blatantly said that they were not good. The mussels were severely overcooked and tasted as if they were from a can. I ate literally one and the bread was cold as ice.. and not only that, but we waited for this food for forever. Do better! We also ordered the hanger steak. We had specified medium and it even came out with a stick in it saying "medium" well.. it was not medium.. it was RAW. Our waiter tried to justify it saying that they cook it a little more on the rare side... umm ok then why ask how we would like it cooked? The plate was bloody and the meat was cold to the touch that is how rare it was. Eventually, after all of these fails, the waiter sent (what I assumed was the manager) over to be like hey what's going on? And we let him know. Nothing was good, the steak was raw, which he agreed and said he would take it back and get it cooked to our preference. He also let us know that they would be taking care of the food etc. They sent back out the steak THE EXACT SAME STEAK??? what the eff? And then, to make matters worse, that steak was still not cooked properly. My gawd. What a cluster. Originally, we had ordered 2 desserts and we were so turned off we cancelled everything and they still sent us the coconut cake "on the house" to make up for the disaster? Which it didn't since the cake was cold and felt as if it had been chilling out in the fridge all day. Oh.. and to end it all... they billed us for our drinks LOL. After you just royally messed up our dinner you still go and charge us for the drinks. We had literally 5 or 6 bites each of food and everything was slow, beyond sub par and when you tried to make it right you actually made it worse. I will not be back here. You couldn't pay me to come back here.

My friend and I came here for dinner before a show. It is the perfect location, right in north loop. It feels upscale yet comfortable. So many delicious food items, we tried to order a variety because everything sounded so good! We loved the halibut, pierogi, and schupfnudeln. Would recommend this spot for your next date night!

Everything at St. Pierre is top tier! I made a reservation for my friend's birthday at the suggestion of a colleague and it did not disappoint. St. Pierre is located in North Loop inside of the Tractor building. There's a small parking lot behind the building and accessible street parking as well. We were greeted with warm smiles by the hostess who ushered us around the restaurant and to our seats. St. Pierre has beautiful large leather seats that make you feel like you're dining at an old club. The noise level was quiet, we did not have to shout to hear one another. The music was different, eclectic but set the mood. We loved the open kitchen concept and the arched bar. The food was good. We loved the broccolini, the potatoe pave, and the gnocchi-esque starter. For our mains I ordered the deboned hen seated on a salsa verde (tasted similar to chimichurri sauce) and my friend ordered a fish dish. We will be back!

A few things first: First, we are huge Isaac Becker restaurant fans in general -- all IB restaurants are among our favorites in the whole area. Second, we LOVED Snack Bar. Third, while we do miss a few things from Snack Bar, we are pretty darn impressed and happy after our first meal at St. Pierre... not that we should be surprised by now. So for those of you who knew Snack Bar, they have kept darn near every single one of our favorite menu items on the new St. Pierre menu. Among our returning heros: the arctic char carpaccio, the simple green salad (which I SWEAR is the best salad in town and is a truly craveable salad), the fried eggplant, the pici and our personal favorite, the fried octopus. We were delighted to see all of these dishes made the cut and are still available because we really truly love them all. So when the change was announced, they said that they would try to bring the old Burch's steakhouse back in a new form in the Snack Bar space. I liked Burch and had a few really good meals there. But I never loved it the way we love other Isaac Becker spots. That said, I LOVE a good steak, so I had high hopes and was not disappointed at all to be able to get a delicious and perfectly cooked steak on top of all the dishes I listed above. Now all of that glowing stuff said, we really really adored the pizza at Snack Bar, which you could get by the slice or as a whole pie. It was truly delicious. My pizza connoisseur husband loved the pizza here, claimed it was the best in the Cities and is essentially mourning the loss of his favorite pizza. I'm guessing there isn't enough room in the kitchen to accommodate pizzas on top of everything else going on, or perhaps pizza wasn't a high-enough margin meal. But we will truly miss the pizza and will take this opportunity to say we would be very happy if it reappeared in some other form at an Isaac Becker restaurant down the road! (hint, hint!) Other details: -They didn't change very much about the appearance of the restaurant. It didn't really need much. I've always loved the swanky, dark, old-school vibe here with the deep red leather and the wood. -Not mentioned above, the Red Snapper Crudo, which was the one new appetizer type dish we tried off of the new menu. It was tasty, with these delightful crunchy bits on top for texture. But we agreed we probably won't order it again, not because it was bad, but just because we like too many other things better. -Cocktails and mocktails seemed to be a combination of old and new. We've always enjoyed the bar selections here, and I was happy to see the cocktail menu is now focused on gin and now offers multiple flavors of shrubs. A great summer addition to the menu. So smart. I had the blood orange cosmo, which was delicious, way too easy to drink and served icy cold. Delicous. If I hadn't been driving... -I got the filet and my husband got the Ribeye. Both delicious. Both cooked perfectly. A+ steak and I love to go to places like Manny's and Wildfire, so my bar is very high. Also accompanied by the cutest most adorable little trio of bernaise, house steak sauce and pickled mushrooms. Our server obliged my request for an additional serving of bernaise sauce without blinking, and I was in heaven. -Dessert was beautiful (and yes, the creme brulee doughnut is still there!!! ... now called the Snack Bar doughnut). He had the coconut cake, which was gorgeous -- a towering cube of two layers of cake coated in toasted shredded coconut and topped with icing and blueberry compote. Dude. And I had the limoncello sorbet, which was lovely and refreshing and generous in portion. The perfect palette cleanser. -Shout out to our server, Suzy, who was excellent in every. single. way. Obviously, we went for it and our meal topped $300 after tip. So obviously very spendy. We won't be back as often as we frequented Snack Bar, but we will certainly be back.

This place is amazing! The flavors were perfect. If there's a downside, it's that it's expensive with somewhat small portions. However, the Halibut might have been one of the best white fish dishes I've ever had. It was a crackly crust that was faintly curry flavored. I don't know what Zarzuela was (underneath it) but it was a perfect combination. Also, the steak was cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned & charred. It came with 3 steak sauces... all were good and it was a tough decision to eat the steak perfect as it is... or add the desirable sauces. The schupfnudeln is a classic (from Burch, to Snack Bar, to here). Order it; there's a reason it's on all these menus.

Food was fantastic, from apps to desserts. Drinks were spot on as well. Wait staff was very knowledgeable and explained multiple items we had questions on. We will be back.

We celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary and had the BEST service. I kicked off the evening with the LEMON CHEESECAKE MARTIN (limoncello, licor 43, lemon, cream). I could enjoy multiples of this tasty cocktail given I want the driver for the evening . I then tried the RASPBERRY BERET (limoncello sorbet, raspberry shrub, prosecco) and equally enjoyed the flavors of that cocktail. We started our culinary adventure with the Gougères. They were crispy and delivered at the perfect temperature. Our entrees, the Roasted Halibut in Zarzuela and the Barramundi in Crazy Water were delicious. We love seafood and these both hit the mark! We also shared a side of the Potato Pavé which was a perfect pairing to the fish dishes. Onto the desserts... we treated ourselves with The Snack Bar which tasted like a Snicker's candy bar but WAY better! We also ordered the Coconut Cake that had the perfect amount of crisp coconut and a lovely piece of white chocolate as a topper. We were also presented with the Carrot Cake which was out of this world and had candied pecans and delicious cream cheese frosting layered in and was delightfully delicious. Great food, and service overall. It did get a bit noisy once as the restaurant filled up and would be great to see them install some noise absorption panels. Will definitely go back to this establishment to try other items on the menu and to enjoy the ambiance!

The food!! The service!! All 5 stars!! This is some of the best food in the Twin Cities. Don't walk, run to get there.
