“I'VE BEEN EATING AT DIMITRI SINCE I WAS MIDDLE SCHOOL BEEN ALMOST 15 YEARS AND THE FOOD IS STILL AMAZING .....I WILL DRIVE ALMOST 1 HOUR AND 20 MINS TO GET THOSE CHICKEN WINGS WITH HIS FAMOUS MILD SAUCE HE SELLS IN A GALLON BOTTLE.... I LOVE YOU DIMITRI AND THANK YOU FOR BRING SOME GREAT EATS TO MY “

“I love this place! The chicken Marsala is incredible! We also had eggplant roll acting as an appetizer, linguine with clams,gnocchi and manicotti! All great and we all have dinner for tomorrow! Service is great and always like talking to the owner, who makes you feel like you are his personal guests! Only suggestion for improvement is to assign the waitstaff to one area! This happened last time too. The servers are running all over! Be a little kinder to them. They work so hard!“

“We have ordered turkey burgers with sweet potato fries for several consecutive weeks, and each time we have not been disappointed.In addition, today we ordered the fish taco platter, the rail splitting pasta, and the white bean chicken chili. Our meals were delicious. Seasoned just right. Everything was fresh, tasty and we had plenty to eat.More importantly, the hostesses at the front desk (“Grace,” “Lyric,” and the beautiful lady with the reddish below-the-shoulder-length hair were all professional, pleasant and kind.Well done to all. Thank you.“

“This place is truly amazing! The atmosphere is simply incredible because they care about you and that new chef is unreal! The thing I like is they make the experience personal. The new kitchen staff is cooking some of the best food I ever had. I take my staff there on Fridays. I highly recommend this place.“

“This was first time here. It was definitely a vibe and the peach mango slush was so fyeeeee it had just enough alcohol not too much and have you groovin. The music was nice too and service okay otherwise it would've been 5 stars. In so many instances once we were done with the drinkwe felt rushed we still had the platter left to eat but decided to just go instead. I am now looking at my receipt and there is a tip automatically added even though they have a cash jar Beware! I don't live close and if I come back it's for the Peach Mango Slush. I would strongly suggest a sign no outside food unless it's a live event and if there is a table time limit let your patrons know ahead. It wasn't crowded and we hadn't seen each other since my car crash a few months back during the ice and snow so we just wanted to chill but left because the vibe was killed by waiter. You know when your no longer welcome and we got the hint and left. Beautiful Establishment and colorsJust be nicer to your guests overall this is a business!“

“For all of you chili lovers out there, you have to come out and try Rasta Chili Hut! I had an amazing experience here! The owner is very warm and welcoming, all of the food is made from scratch and with LOVE! Come and see for yourself! I had the vegetarian chili and the first bite was instant nostalgia! It brought back memories of coming home on a cold, rainy autumn day to a comforting bowl of homemade chili and board games with my family. Yes, it was THAT GOOD! Beyond the amazing chili, I also ordered the fried plantain and hands down it was the best that I have ever had from any restaurant in my life! The combination of the crispiness of the plantain and the crunchiness of the cashews drizzled with honey was phenomenal and bursting with flavor! My taste buds were so happy! I will most definitely be returning here over and over again, so will you! Just try it!“

“So I visited the area for spring break and was taken to this restaurant by my Son and his Wife on March 18, 2024. I was very pleased with the ambiance. It's an intimate restaurant with a small waiting area that leads out to the eating entrance that has at least 10 tables ranging from 2 to 4 seats, two restrooms, drinking station used by the employees and the cooking area. The Waitress was pleasant and experienced. The presentation of each dish was mouthwatering as you can see. The taste was very much to my liking and seasoning to a minimum as it should be. The amount of food you get for the price is definitely feasible. Yes, you get your monies worth! The Cook that day was on point and delivered! He needs his own tip jar! The way he made the hashbrowns are unique with this mashed/hashbrown taste that melts in your mouth. My omelet was loaded with spinach, I definitely took in my daily dosage of Vitamin C for that day. Freshness and not overcooked was also key. Restaurants like this are fading away in St. Louis City and we need to "Bring Back America" with this here. In my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, "I will be back".“

“This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I love this coffee shop. It's in the heart of downtown Homewood right by the Metra. The owner is very nice, and her shop is so cozy with lots of small business made products to choose from while you wait on your coffee to be made.“

“Everyone here is super friendly, and the customer atmosphere is even better! As a female I never feel uncomfortable here, as I do with some other bars. People look out for each other here! I also want to mention Dakota is my favorite bar tender! He's amazing!“
