Hyacinth - Saint Paul

We absolutely loved this restaurant, which was highly recommended to me by a friend in the service industry. The food is seasonal and straightforward, allowing the ingredients to truly shine, all within a charming neighborhood atmosphere that balances elegance and comfort—our favorite kind of place! We ordered a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious, but the standout was the grilled zucchini topped with stracciatella cheese, pistou, and what I believe was sauvignon blanc vinegar; pairing it with the flatbread was a great way to enjoy the flavorful sauce. The prawns were cooked to perfection and wonderfully juicy, while the linguine was generously tossed with crab. There were plenty of non-alcoholic options available, along with an extensive amaro list. The only slight disappointment was that the online menu indicated the olive oil cake featured rhubarb, but it actually came with blueberries instead. I understand that rhubarb season has passed, but I have a real passion for rhubarb! I can't wait to return in the winter or fall to see what new delights they have in store!

Great food! The wine list is regularly updated, which is a nice touch.

Hyacinth: 4.5 out of 5. A lovely and cozy spot, though the service was a bit inattentive. The homemade pasta is delightful and truly authentic.

Really enjoyed the Caesar salad, flatbread, and pastas. Cocktails were impressive, too. 4.5/5.

Found this place on a stroll. An absolute jewel in Minnesota not just St Paul
