Holman’s Table pairs brunch and cocktails with airport views

What the ratings suggest

Holman’s Table carries a 4.6 Google rating from more than 1,600 reviews, a strong signal for a moderately priced restaurant serving brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks. Public feedback repeatedly emphasizes reliable food, generous portions, attentive service and a menu broad enough to make choosing difficult. Several reviewers also describe returning multiple times without disappointment.

The restaurant’s location at the Saint Paul airport gives it an identity that most American restaurants cannot match. Diners mention views toward the tarmac, private planes landing and Minnesota Helicopters operating on-site. That backdrop turns an ordinary meal into more of an occasion, although the amount of visible plane activity appears to vary by visit.

Brunch, drinks and value

Brunch draws some of the most enthusiastic comments. One diner praised the French toast sandwich as an order worth repeating, while another highlighted an anniversary brunch that produced enough leftovers to take home. Those reports support the broader pattern: portions feel generous relative to the price level, and the restaurant works for guests who want a substantial meal rather than a light stop.

Drinks are another recurring strength, particularly for celebratory brunches. Reviewers call out a mimosa board, including optional glitter, as a playful birthday choice. A punch was described as refreshing and well suited to winter, while a grapefruit twist earned a positive response despite landing on the sweeter side. Taken together, the comments suggest a beverage program designed as much for festive groups as for conventional cocktail drinkers.

Atmosphere and occasions

The airport setting makes Holman’s Table especially popular for birthdays, anniversaries and other milestone meals. Reviews describe the room as fun, cute and atmospheric, with the aviation connection supplying an experience beyond the dining table. One guest paired a helicopter ride over Saint Paul with a marriage proposal and dinner, illustrating how naturally the restaurant fits a planned celebration.

That does not mean every visit needs an elaborate itinerary. Repeat diners also treat it as a dependable restaurant with varied menus and broadly appealing choices. Feedback from groups suggests that different preferences can be accommodated without forcing everyone toward the same style of meal.

Practical considerations

Holman’s Table is somewhat removed from Saint Paul’s more conventional restaurant areas, so it is best approached as a destination. Reviews report ample free parking on the north side of the building, along with a small drive-up area that can be used to drop off passengers. That setup may be particularly useful during Minnesota’s colder or windier weather.

The chief caveat is expectation management. The tarmac and aviation theme are distinctive, but diners should not assume constant aircraft movement during the meal. Even with limited plane action, the combination of strong ratings, generous servings, cocktails and occasion-friendly atmosphere gives Holman’s Table a clear reason to make the trip.
