We attempted to visit Ruam Mit on a Friday night at about 9:30 and were told when we arrived that they were closed. We thought that was quite odd considering the dining room was full and it was a weekend night. Not being deterred, the following night we called in an order at about 7:15. When we arrived to pick it up close to 8, there was no one manning the register and a number of other people milling around waiting for orders and to pay their bills. No wait staff were visible, either. Over the next hour, the desk was occassionally visited by one of two people working the front of the house. If/when we were able to get their attention and tell them that we were waiting for an order, they nodded and disappeared, never returning with food. In the one hour that we waited in the restaurant for our order of two basic entrees, we watched countless people walk out without being served and at least 5 or 6 other people being forced to wait an eternity for orders they too had called in. Tables went uncleared for the entire duration of the hour as well. By the time we got our food home to eat, we could have eaten the paper bag, too. That said, the food was passable, but not remarkable. Next time I'm feeling masochistic, I'll just stay home and eat glass to avoid the trouble of needing to find a parking spot in Saint Paul first.
Cons: Horrible service
