“We love Clayton Winehouse! We frequently go there at the beginning of date night for a glass (or two, three) before dinner. The staff is wonderful: friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about wine. We hosted a party in their downstairs event space which was wonderful. The even price was reasonable and they were so very easy to work with.“
“Service was so friendly and efficient! You order and pay at the cashier and then someone brings your food to the table. The ambiance was fine. It's basically a wine shop with a row of tables. Great for a casual lunch. There is a display of sardine cans and such above the kitchen -- very cute! I had the prosciutto sandwich. It was delicious!“
“The food was excellent. Very well seasoned. The service was spectacular. And each course came out in an expeditious amount of time, such that I never felt like I was waiting between courses. I had the Paloma cocktail and another one called “Cello.” Both savory and delicious. A very well managed establishment.“
“This is a VERY nice restaurant in Clayton. I didn't realize it was fine dining and showed up in a hoodie and jeans. At first, I was concerned that I would be turned away or treated differently because of my attire, but that wasn't the case. We ( my son and I) were led to a booth and ordered drinks. My son ordered a burger, which looked delicious. He confirmed that it was. I ordered the lobster bisque, and it was to die for!! Velvety smooth and full of chunks of lobster! Honestly, the BEST lobster bisque I've ever had! For dessert, we had cheesecake, and again, it was divine!The atmosphere is beautiful!! You are immediately filled with a sense of calm. Its the kind of place you would take someone for a very special occasion...like a marriage proposal. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. We were well taken care of and will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: It is NOT a place for small children.“
“My friend and I stopped in at Barcelona for some drinks and tapas - I really liked my sangria, very light and refreshing. Her red wine was full bodied and delicious - also a heavy pour! We got the goat cheese tomato sauce dip with fresh garlic bread as well as spinach and mushroom empanadas. The goat cheese dip was yummy and warm and fresh, the garlic bread was fresh out of the oven and the perfect addition. The spinach and mushroom empanadas were good, lots of cumin in them haha. They came with a yummy dip, but I also dipped them in the goat cheese dip. Our waiter was very nice and made sure we were well taken care of. The overall ambiance was nice, it wasn't too full on a Tuesday evening, but we didn't mind!“
“Hello. I am a "regular" now at Oceano Bistro (and I have been for a while). It's about time I wrote a review. The food here is excellent. The service is wonderful. The atmosphere is open and welcoming. I have my place at the bar that provides me with a great spot to view all the action. I would like to thank and recognize the following individuals: Alex, Robert, Scotty, Ben, Jake, Mary, Matt (bar/server), Matt (kitchen), Armando (kitchen), Ann, Pierre, Marena, Amy, Sasha and ... last but not least ... Amer. I know I am missing a few names here ... sorry. I look forward to my next visit. See you soon everyone. CHEERS.“
“I have been to this place a few times and it's been consistently good. They have a great ambiance and service. We tried the 4 pork gnocchi and the spicy shrimp diablo. Both the dishes were very good. We tried a few of their cocktails - a few different Mezcal cocktails and it was good. They have happy hour every day from 3-6 PM. For dessert, we had the beignets. It lived up to the expectations!“
“Great date spot patio - wonderful outdoor atmosphere. Super attentive waitstaff (great attention, recommendations, and personality). Cool cocktails and some really good beers available. The food was outstanding! The menu was basically laid out in order of smallest to biggest plates; the snacks were very much snack-sized, the small plates were still plenty enough to share, and the entrees were generous. Very creative and fun cuisine. The white anchovies that we requested on the side of our (outstandingly fresh and summery) tomato salad were the absolute best anchovies I have ever had - if you like anchovies and they have "white anchovies" on the menu, order! (Our waitress was nice enough to check in the restaurant pantry to find out the brand for me, which was very appreciated.) Though we were stuffed, we had dessert and the chocolate cake we ordered was decadent and a wonderful end to a fun and romantic meal. Totally recommend Little Fox, especially for a spontaneous date night out, whether you want to graze and sip cocktails or get a full dinner.“
“Excellent dinner. Easy to make reservation. Service was excellent, friendly and prompt, great flow/ timing of presenting food. The food itself was excellent! My only wish is that hot sake was an option.Dietary restrictions: Did very well with gluten and dairy free options. Staff was knowledgeable on allergies and appropriate menu items.“
“So good we went two nights in a row, ordering different food each time. Four veteran travelers used to great food all agreed Acero's is on a very short list of best restaurants; not just in St. Louis, but anywhere! Just amazing food, staff and ambience. The high ratings from thousands are real, earned and deserved! Enjoy!“
“Visited yesterday and omg the food was delicious. I had the brisket which the cook said is new to the menu. It wasn’t dry at all. It was tender and i like they put the sauce on the side instead of drench the meat with it. My sister had the salmon croquettes and they were good too. I’ll be back but remember to make reservations for brunch or u might not be able to try it due to the crowd. The staff were nice and the place was clean. Oh and the flight of mimosa had us still talking after eating.“
“Pagan Wine Bar in Central West End is a bookstore. No wait, it's a wine bar. Tucked away but right there in front of you, it's a quirky, offbeat spot. The cocktails here are unique concoctions. The bar itself can accommodate probably 25 people. It's very small and intimate. The group of five of us had such a great time. My drink is fantastic.“
“The service here is top notch. My husband and I came on our anniversary before catching the theater. Our reservation was for 5:15, and we admittedly were a bit late, but informed our server that we needed to leave by 6:30 to make our show. The serving staff took good care of us and what we ordered, three courses worth, was all highly flavorful and top notch.“
“My husband and I live five minutes from here, we're trying to check out more Midtown spots. I happened across this place looking for somewhere to grab a drink before a late dinner reservation, and figured we would give it a try. We were only there about 30 minutes and sat at the bar. The bartender was so nice and chit chatted with us while he made drinks. All the drinks looked fantastic and I will definitely be back for cocktails. I just had a glass of wine and my husband a local beer so nothing too crazy. But they did have natural wines which are usually hard to find any my favorite, so I was happy! Great experience and seems like a cool spot.“
“Winnie's Wine Bar made for a perfect location for a stop on my bachelorette weekend. Our servers were amazing and were so friendly and fun. Everyone loved the vibe and kept talking about how comfortable the seating arrangements were. We didn't want to leave!! Such a cute spot and highly recommend!!!!“
“The charcuterie board I ordered was phenomenal!!! Also the best slice of key lime pie you will find in St. Louis (the owner makes it homemade!)The owner was so sweet and helped each of us at the table pick wine that we would enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality ?“
“I’ll probably finish writing my novel because of Black Mountain. Perfect spot to relax and get some work done on a Sunday. It’s not a laptop spot per they don’t make it weird if it’s not too crowded. Great select of wines, great fries - feels like you’re in northern france or Belgium or even central west end at duffs or coffee cartel (iykyk)… extra bonus for the literal wood fire aromas soothing everyone’s soul“
“The breweries cellar serving up some of the best beers made in the world. With an ever changing draft list and an extensive bottle list from the cellar on top of the private and personal experience the small but unique space creates, you are bound to have a great experience. The staff is great and incredibly knowledgeable.In addition my favorite experiences are the multiple special events they have a year serving up their more limited beers.“
“Somehow I forgot to review SSC when I ate here a few months ago, which is weird because I tell everyone how great it was.The ambiance here is very nice and the service is fantastic. But of course the food is the driving force here. The beef tartare was an awesome and unique appetizer that you'll only see at a high end place. The broccoli salad was excellent and presented beautifully. The duck was by far the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked on the inside with an amazing crunch and sauce on the outside. The chicken and pasta were also both great.I keep a list of restaurants in St Louis to try, from burger places to high end establishments. Sidney Street Cafe will remain at the top of that list and I'll be back for sure.“
“Such a fun place! Amazing interior design & huge back patio. Everything done with an artist’s touch. Excellent wine choices, and craft beer choices. I particularly liked the craft cocktails! Super fun and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend! Great spot for date or small group.“
“First time here. We made reservations in advance and found parking to be convenient. The restaurant's décor was warm and inviting, with white subway tiles behind the bar and blue banquettes around the dining area. The bartender was really knowledgeable and offered excellent recommendations. For starters, we had blue crab gratin and hand-cut steak tar tar, both for $12. The crab was spicy and creamy, and the tar tar was presented alongside warm dollops of slow-cooked egg yolk. They were both gorgeous. Our main dish was gnocchi with lamb ragu and goat cheese, which cost $18. The creamy goat cheese was the ideal compliment to the lamb ragu, and the gnocchi had a nice soft center. The portions were just right, and we left feeling satisfied. Very positive atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious cocktails as well. If you want to seal a good day with a good mood, head here.“
“Had the chance to visit this beautifully decorated establishment in the heart of Ferguson. The owner and lead bartender were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wine selection and the house Margarita is in a lane of its own. It's plenty of seating and atmosphere is a vibe. There blueberry red wine will also see me again. Love! Love! Love! Can't wait to go back!“
“Celebrated our 36th anniversary here. We shared the shrimp ceviche, truffle fries and a bottle of champagne. I feasted on the salmon pad Thai while my husband had the Denver Waygu steak. A complementary flourless chocolate torte topped off a fantastic meal. David is the best server! Thank you for sharing our special evening with us!“
“We went all out tonight since we just received our yearly bonuses. This is the first time we went for a 5 course chef designed meals and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every bite. We also order wine pairing- that is a lot more wine than we are used to . We really enjoy everything and thanks for an unforgettable experience.“
“We went here before 'Twas the Night. We ate at the bar and Chris took care of us. There were 7 of us and everything was done in a timely manner. Chris did a fantastic job of entertaining us while we waited. The Cesar Salad was the best I've ever had! We will definitely be going back! Great job Chris.“
“I absolutely love Vino. the venue is always friendly and welcoming. They offer indoor seating with couches as well as tables. AND a sidewalk patio that has heaters for when the weather cools. And the drink selections do not disappoint. Although their name implies wine, they have a full bar replete with whatever spirit you prefer. I have not eaten any food yet, but I'm sure that is awesome as well.“
“This place is the neighborhood eatery that’s too cool for all of us but still graces us with its presence. The agnolotti is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, the English Rose is a refreshing spin on a gin and tonic, and the staff are wonderful. This is our new date night place every time we visit STL.“
“This is such a nice place for a date night or evening out with friends. They have a patio for nice weather, and the inside is intimately lit with small tables and some bar seats. I only ordered wine, but the food looked good as well. They do tastings on Tuesdays.Parking: Street parking is metered during the day, free in evenings. There's also a lot.“
“We had dinner here before seeing a show in Kirkwood. This was our first time eating here and loved it! I have to eat gluten free so had the salmon and it was delicious!! My fiancé had the pasta with clams and said it was really good too. I would recommend eating here whenever you're looking for a nice place for dinner!“
“We spent our anniversary on a day date around St. Louis and headed to Mama’s for lunch. The fresh bread was awesome, and my husband and I shared the vegetable beef soup, which was so, so good on this frigid day. Our entrees were spaghetti with meatballs and beef ravioli with meat sauce. The flavor of the meatballs was fantastic and the sauce was perfect. We WILL be back. Definitely recommend this local small business. ❤️“
“Originally from STL but haven't lived there for two decades. When I am there, approximately once a year, Olio is the number one place I need to go. Everything they turn out is amazingly well thought out with creativity and passion second to none. I consistently dream about their egg salad... the decor and vibe is perfect, service is always top notch... there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place.“
“We realize it was Valentine's Day, so that may have been the culprit here. But... we were encouraged to order all our courses up front, which we won't do again. Each subsequent course arrived long before we were finished with the previous one, leading to a crowded table and a sense of being rushed, which wasn't what we were seeking for a VD meal.... Food delicious, wait staff lovely, all else good. But timing of the courses was oblivious to the pace of consumption.“
“I had almost 2 hours before I was to board my plane. I love a good wine bar. We have plenty in Dallas, so I thought I’d give it a try. I give them five stars! I bought a bottle of wine to take home with me, I had a panini and a flight of wine. The staff were very nice and personable. I loved it.“
“Bryan is an amazing server which his style accompanies the vibe and atmosphere at One 19 North. All of the food is amazing and one of the best wine selections for a restaurant of its size. Go with a group of four and order different items so everyone can enjoy the different types of food. Don't miss the lamb and any of their seafood dishes.“
“Went for the Rocky Maverick show 10/16 and it was my first time on this side of the venue. I walked in and the guy who greeted me looked at the digital ticket, then led to my seat. I just love the ambiance and the lighting makes it so much more intimate. I didn't eat food, but definitely ordered a couple of whiskey mules that were strong and delicious! Shout out to Louis(the bartender) for his professionalism, but still able to mingle with partrons and bartend properly! Bathrooms were super clean, but inconveniently on the lower level lolbvs. I gotta say Rocky Maverick and his band left us with an experience to last a lifetime and I look forward to attending more shows.“
“What a cute gem in Maplewood! i don’t know much about wine, but i told Brian, the owner, what i liked and he introduced me to some wines and vintners I didn’t know about and liked very much!He is passionate about small wineries and wine makers who are also really passionate about their craft.It’s a very chill place, and they do an occasional wine school and pairings. I’ll definitely be back!“
“The Avenue came highly recommended and lived up to its reputation. I joined my siblings for lunch here. The staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was expansive and delicious. I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“
“The food was fantastic! My wife and I had the quiche Lorraine. The service was great! And they had some really cool guitar players playing there on Sunday morning, the whole experience was just fantastic!! I can't not recommend this place enough!!!!“
“It's been years since I've been here and so happy that I visited because now this place will become a staple in my rotation. Friday evening visit around 6p and happy that seating was available without a wait. Open seating, opted for a space near the kitchen. Now, normally, seating near the kitchen wouldn't be appealing, but the overall vibe here makes up for the open kitchen view. Starving, I wasted no time ordering. Glass of Malbec and for the meal, Chicken Pesto sandwich, sauces on the side and Side order of Tots. The sandwich was awesome! Chicken was juicy, Bacon was crisp and the toasted buttered bread rounded it out. I enjoyed the mustard aioli with this better than the pesto that it comes up, so I recommend getting the sauces on the side. The tots are housemade and feel like mashed potatoes turned into tots. They are tasty also with the mustard aioli. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit and will be here more often.“
“Visited Cunetto House of Pasta with my fiancée recently. I have eaten good Italian food all of my life in various places, and this is my new favorite spot. I’ll be back soon. Fantastic experience from the bar, to the service, to the meal. Wish it wouldn’t have taken me this long to try it, but ready to make up for lost time!“
“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Fleming’s tonight. Ordered a medium rare ribeye and it came out medium. They were very apologetic and got us a medium rare one promptly. Excellent food, service, and management. Much better and smarter than J. Gilbert’s who got us a bad steak and wouldn’t apologize if or replace it. They just shrugged. Looking forward to our next visit at Fleming’s despite the rather pricey price tag. At least you get what you pay for there!“
“I celebrated my birthday at POP. We had a big group and the place was absolutely amazing. I made reservations in advance and they were very accommodating and messaged me in a very quick manner. Beautiful and chic atmosphere. Fantastic service. Delicious food and even more amazing drinks. This place is absolutely worth the price. I will be going back!“
“I had a great experience here. This was my first time here. Kelly was so knowledgeable about the menu and she has some great recommendations. Very nice atmosphere! The food was very good. We had calamari, salmon and the BLT (lobster) sandwich with strawberry sangrias. I would definitely recommend!“
“We brought my mom here before the theater because it seemed right up her alley - charcuterie. We came in before the dinner rush and had fantastic service. The cocktail menu was great and they had some amazing wine options. We grabbed a few small plates to share and everything was great. We got the mushroom pate which was a little bland and we could have done without, but everything else we tried had great flavor profiles. The cheese obviously stole the show - we wanted to try all of them. They're very sharing with their cheese portions which was appreciated since there were four of us. We only wished they served more bread because it was so buttery and soft. There was not enough to go around! A very good experience, I'll definitely be back with my husband for wine and cheese.“
“We went to Brennan's on a Saturday night and I feel like we were lucky to get a table inside! We were there kind of early because we had an early dinner reservation. It was packed but we found a table big enough for 6. We just ordered drinks and a late night snack. It was really loud and hard to hear with a group that big, but that's alright. The drinks and service were good! It's a great place in the Central West End to go for before or after dinner drinks“
“We were in town for volleyball. We had 30 people that went in for dinner at 5:00 on a Friday. They were very accommodating. The service was excellent. Reja was a rockstar handling all of us!!!Everyone enjoyed their food. Margaritas were super good!!“
“Been wanting to try them for a while. I always think it looks so cute when I drive by, but I don't drive by there too often. Decided to stop and have dinner the other night and the pizza was great! If you like wood fire style pizza, this is a must try. Server was delightful as well and very reasonably priced!“
“Hands down incredible services and food. It’s clear the chef and his team take a lot of time to plan and execute every detail and every flavor. Our server was INCREDIBLE, she was attentive caring and make amazing recommendations. We became members and are absolutely fans of the staff. Best date dinner place ! Forever “
“Beautiful Italian restaurant with a simple yet elegant menu.Great options, included some not in the menu, can satisfy all palates. Seafood or meat options, risotto or pizza, you will find something you like.Toasted Ravioli was a St.Louis must have. Meatballs were delicious and fork tender. Really can't go wrong with anything here.“
“The food was overall good but not great or life changing. We are big fans of Vicia and were hoping for the same complexity of flavors but did not find it in all the dishes here - only some of them.We ordered:Gougeres - cheese fondue and popovers. Fondue was good but the popovers were kind of doughy and dense.Beef tartare - fine, not great - the tartare was a bit flavorless and flat despite being served with a jusFrench onion soup - good! No complaints.Mussels - the star of the show, 5/5, some of the best mussels I’ve hadPain perdu - a carmelized dessert with toasted brioche and Clementine’s ice cream that was delicious.Special shout out to the mocktail Papillon. I don’t like when mocktails are just fruit juice but this one really had the complexity and slight bitterness of a cocktail.Overall we would come back but there are flavor profiles of some dishes that could be elevated to make this a 5/5 meal.“
