W.A. Frost & Company

"The grand dame of the neighborhood, W.A. Frost is known for serving some of the best French fries in the metro: each fry a perfect burnished gold, rich with duck fat, always served with fresh mayonnaise and ketchup. Its patio — a beautiful half-block stretch of cobblestones and string lights — is always full but never crowded, the perfect place to while away a summer afternoon. Book a reservation on Tock." - Julie Yu

"W.A. Frost and Company has arguably the most gorgeous patio in town. Lush with hedges, mossy trees, and ivy crawling over the restaurant’s entire facade, the garden views here are stunning — come for happy hour and pair bacon-poached chicken wings with a juniper and rosemary gin and tonic." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"W.A. Frost’s lush green patio is one of the loveliest around." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"W.A. Frost, with its lovely ivy-covered patio, sits in the shadow of the Saint Paul Cathedral on Selby Avenue. The extensive nonalcoholic cocktail options include a Light and Stormy, made with nonalcoholic rum and ginger beer, and the No Name: an elixir of wormwood, sugarcane, and lemon. W.A. Frost also has a low-proof cocktail menu, with Japanese martinis, palomas, and more." - Ryan Meaney, Eater Staff

"One of the most beautiful patios in the Twin Cities is finally reopened with a refresh of the menu from new Executive Chef Peter Drinan that’s full of poppy contemporary American dishes showcasing fresh vegetables – just in time for summer." - Joy Summers, Eater Staff
