 Holman’s
Table opened this week in the historic St. Paul Downtown Airport’s (STP) terminal
building, marking the first time the airport has had a restaurant on site since
1997. The restaurant was named for Charles W.
“Speed” Holman, a local aviation hero from the early days of flight.
Located just southeast of downtown St. Paul, the terminal
building was built in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. A
recent renovation brought the castle-like building back to life with modern
finishes and textures that complement the restored terrazzo floors, Kasota
limestone walls and brass railings—the perfect setting for a unique dining
experience.
Troy Reding, co-owner of Ally Hospitality -- which operates Holman's Table -- says the 90-seat
restaurant, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, takes its inspiration
from worldly dining hot spots.
“We’ve created a dining experience that celebrates the
spirit of travel, encouraging our guests to relax and embark from the
everyday.”

The interior of Holman's Table.
The menu was designed to showcase fresh ingredients, refined techniques and bold flavors. Diners can choose their level of adventure, with dishes ranging from wild boar poutine and seared duck ragout to an iconic burger or organic farro salad. The drink menu shares this inspiration, featuring a draft line exclusively composed of Minnesota brews alongside ingenious craft cocktails and an extensive wine list.
 For customers on the fly, a full-service coffee bar in the lobby will eventually offer grab-and-go food options, like a spirulina breakfast jar and browned butter cinnamon rolls from the in-house pastry chef. The restaurant also offers catering services, a private event space, a conference room and a river walk, all with convenient, free parking.
During the warmer months, the restaurant will open its doors to a patio that overlooks the airfield, with the Mississippi River bluffs as a backdrop. Minnesotans can get a sneak peek of this experience during the week leading up to the Super Bowl when the patio will be outfitted with heating lamps and benches.
Holman’s Table is located at 644 Bayfield Street off of Plato Boulevard in St. Paul and open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit HolmansTable.com.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) owns and operates the airport, along with five other general aviation airports and Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP).
