In Short
Three floors of bedazzled rooms are romantic and lush enough to inspire longings in even the black-hearted. Good thing the new menu, laden with hearty American and European fare, is enough to satisfy any hankering. In… Read Full Editorial

Dinner in Your Own Private Mansion by jmmiller28 via Citysearch on 10/11/2010

My husband and I went here to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary on a Sunday night. It was still moderately busy with a wedding party and a couple other anniversary celebrations but service was excellent. I'm a little confused as to…

Best Place to take your Client by steeldesk55 via Citysearch on 10/6/2010

If your looking for something special or need to entertain your best client look no further. Forepaugh's has got it all. Best food, service, and ambience you can find anywhere in the Twin Cities. Down the street from the Xcel Energy center…

Best of the Twin Cities by steeldesk55 via Citysearch on 10/6/2010

If your looking for something special or need to entertain your best client look no further. Forepaugh's has got it all. Best food, service, and ambience you can find anywhere in the Twin Cities. Down the street from the Xcel Energy center…

So, so wrong! by valentina_d via Citysearch on 5/5/2010

We'd been to Forepaugh's for the first time just after they'd acquired new management, but never returned. That usually means we didn't like it, but because we wanted to go somewhere near our downtown hotel for our anniversary, we decided…

Nice Renovation, Great Service and Ambience. Menu change displeasing, Less for More by 5yrTraditionalPatron via Citysearch on 2/16/2009

We were engaged at Forepaughs, Valentines Day 5 yrs ago & made it tradition to return every year since. We were unaware of the renovation until we got there. It turned out well, not taking away any charm of the house or atmoshpere. We…

Far exceeded our hesitant expectations. by TC9966 via Citysearch on 2/16/2009

We booked a Valentine's day reservation and were worried that the service would be extremely busy to provide us a good experience. Thankfully, that was not the case. We were very satisfied with the level of service we got, water was…

Awful New Year's service - partially redeemed by complementary meal :( by KarlMN via Citysearch on 1/1/2009

We had 6:00 reservations, ordered by 6:30, i think, and proceeded to wait OVER AN HOUR between our soup and our entrees. Waitress and then hostess both came an apologized profusely, but it was VERY painful. Fortunately, we had no other…

Slow Service Ruins Otherwise Good Meal by atfromphl via Citysearch on 12/17/2008

Do not go to Forepaugh's if you hope to eat relatively quickly. We allotted 1 1/2 hours for our office's Christmas lunch. We ordered, then waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, almost ONE HOUR later, half of our orders arrived. …

Not What It Used to Be by chinadoll65 via Citysearch on 11/7/2008

New Forepaugh's is bitterly disappointing at best. I was hesitant to try the new establishment, as prices have risen drastically. I thought perhaps the prices would be justified by quality. Not so. For $35+, I was served an undersized,…

The Best Birthday Gift by BDReynolds1011 via Citysearch on 10/12/2008

When my son asked where would you like to go to celebrate your 65th birthday, I thought of Forepaughs, I hadn't been for a while. Personally, I couldn't have asked for a better evening. I've travelled the country on business and have…

Beware! Forepaughs will no longer honor their own 2007 gift certificates! by Kenlyn via Citysearch on 10/6/2008

Warning! Forepaughs is under new management and has gone to the dogs! We purchased over $200 in gift certificates last November and tried to use them since the restaurant re-opened and the new management will not honor them. We were sent…

Avoid this moldly oldie by priorlakelisa via Citysearch on 12/29/2007

My husband and I took his and my parents to dinner here a couple of nights ago. We thought it would be a charming and appropriate place to dine after our tour of the James J. Hill house. \r \r Charming is not a word I would use to describe…

Friendly but absent waitress by brickhouse21 via Citysearch on 12/15/2007

We went here for brunch and our waitress was friendly but where did she keep disappearing to? Luckily our wait assistant was always hovering near-by. The food was okay but the house/history is so interesting that I would make it back…

Don't Let Ghosts Scare You Away by spirtsroundtown via Citysearch on 4/15/2007

Ghost stories are many but the deliciously divine sauces and seasonings discovered in each and every item they skillfully prepare is cooked just for you. Food that tastes like real home-cooked delights right from Paris. Traditional…

Worst service ever! by graceapril via Citysearch on 9/20/2006

It seems the ghosts are actually paying customers. Even lousy service is preferable to be ignored.

We were invisible! by graceapril via Citysearch on 9/20/2006

For a restaurant that has had a combination of good food and quality service, this past evening was absolutely horrible.\r \r It seemed that the ghosts in the restaurant were in the front room. Our problem was that we were the ones that…

Faboulous by rach_simms via Citysearch on 9/7/2006

Forepaughs is with out a doubt the BEST restraunt I have been to (and I eat out frequently). My girlfriends and i were encouraged by our faboulous server to try the house infused martini. We then decided on a couple seafood samplers.…

Magnifique! by gbgiles via Citysearch on 1/13/2006

I've been twice, once in the bar, once upstairs, and will be back for more! This is classic French cuisine in a classy atmosphere. The rooms can be a little quiet, but it is elegant. Food is very well done, service is relaxed, and the…

Avoid this restaurant by sterndiner via Citysearch on 12/3/2005

This restaurant was the BIGGEST let-down I have experienced in the twin cities. Wall paper was falling off the wall, felt like we were sitting on the tables around us, service was slow and failed at recommending entrees, and worse of all,…

Great spot - some things could be better by mpls2004 via Citysearch on 9/11/2005

Love the mansion and the ambiance, but the dining room is so quiet that you can follow the other conversations going on. Stay away from the lamb kebab, I guess, lamb should be eaten as chops. Limited menu and few people during the week.
