Went for our anniversary dinner and had a great time. We'd never been and heard good things from the reviews and gave this place a shot. Our server Jody was attentive and gave a great drink recommendation. We had the ribeye and a couple or mixed drinks. Wow! Everything was fantastic! Can't wait to come back and try something new!

Very cool ambiance, like stepping into the 1930s. Excellent old fashioned and bee’s knees martini and cheese curds were great. Service was friendly, however still working out the bugs on timing as it’s only the second day of their soft opening. Parking is limited but easy to find street parking.

I was very excited to hear this place was opening back up and it did not disappoint. My husband and I stopped in for a night cap and had some of the best cocktails we've ever had. The atmosphere and vibe were so fun, like being transported back to the 1920's. We can't wait to come back for dinner sometime.

Very cool new spot for drinks and some apps, love the vibe already. Great cocktail list well executed. Only suggestion would be to remove the Absinthe from the gimlet, it doesn't work in that drink. A must stop when out and about in St Paul.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. It’s a classic Saint Paul experience. The food was ok. The risotto tasted too much of dried herbs.

I’ve made a terrible mistake. For the life of me I am not sure why this place was not on my radar sooner, but my wife suggested it for our anniversary dinner. After reviewing the menu and pics we gladly made the reservation. I am glad we did as everything from the food to the room to the great service exceeded our expectations. Well done! Please do start with a fine cocktail and the well curated cheese plate. Then it is off to the meat. Both of our steaks was perfectly done and delicious. Make haste to the Commodore!

Beautiful location with classic cocktails and a small wine menu. Service was very slow and not particularly friendly or attentive.
