Restaurants in Downtown St. Paul

Best sushi in MSP by a wide margin. Love the food and ambiance. Still hoping to get down to the private Japanese whiskey collection one of these days!

“Walking into Billy After Dark felt like stepping into another world—a perfect blend of mystery, energy, and charm. From the moment we arrived, the vibe was electric. The space is impeccably designed, with just the right amount of cozy intimacy and upbeat energy. Our server, Maddie, was phenomenal—attentive, personable, and had excellent recommendations. You could tell she genuinely loved what she was doing, and it made our experience all the more special. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and perfect for sharing. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the atmosphere so flawlessly. Hats off to the ownership and staff who have clearly poured their hearts into this place. They’ve created something truly exceptional—a fun, high-quality experience that works whether you’re celebrating with a big group or having an intimate night out. I can’t wait to come back!”

Went here for my 5 year anniversary. Lovely food and great customer service. Did the “let the chef handle it” option and got 6 fantastic courses with a dessert on top of it. The drinks were phenomenal with the right amount of alcohol taste coming through. Completely surpassed my expectations and will be coming back! If you are willing to be spendy it’s definitely worth it.

Everything was so delicious. We had the tomato basil soup, apple pecan salad, and butternut squash ravioli, all outstanding! The service was fantastic, attentive and helpful. One of my favorite places in the North Loop.
