Disclaimer: I have not been to the St. Paul Grill, but my wife says it great, but you may not be able to get a reservation at this late date.

Where's the beef? Sadly it's not in St. Paul. I wish I could recommend a place downtown to get a great steak, but you are going to have to catch a cab or local to take you over to Minneapolis for this.

First let's get it out of the way that a good cut of meat is going to cost at least $20 (more like $40), add on an appetizer,  drinks, tax and tip and it's at least $50-$70/per person.

In Downtown St. Paul the two places I have eaten are Mancini's and Kincaid's, and at both I found the food to be average, which isn't going to "cut" it (hardy har har). If you have to stay in St Paul, I would choose Mancini's the atmosphere is great.

Now for the real food. As I said earlier, catch a cab or a local cf'er and make your way to downtown Minneapolis. Your choices are

• Ruth's Chris
• Murray's
• Manny's (best steak) $$
• Rossi's (my favorite) $$

Manny's and Rossi's are going to cost a little more. Manny's has better steak, but may favorite is Rossi's, they have a great jazz bar and they offer a "bone-in" tenderloin that is fantastic. Both of these places are going charge at $40 for you cut of meat.
