We have been trying to get in for months, maybe even years. Yesterday my friend got a notice (from being on the waitlist) there was a table and she was able to get one. And we were thrilled. We got there early, and since we have never been the 4 only bar seats actually aren’t for a bar. So we were turned away to just have a drink. But this was completely on us, and it fully say bar is first come first serve and they we’re very nice about it. We just didn’t know how strict that was. So we went next door for a drink and came back promptly for our reservation.Well let me say this place is worth the wait. Easily one of the best restaurant in St Louis. Our server Mike was amazing. He gave great drink recs and sold every dish with his descriptions. Everything was more than perfect. The food, the staff, the ambience. It all makes perfect sense why this place is jammed. I only hope we can get on the list sooner than later, but we will be trying. 10 out of 10!! Keep it up Wright’s Tavern!!Parking: Easy to find free street parking after 5, but could see how busier days may be more limited.

A wonderful dinner with impeccable service and delicious food in an intimate setting. We loved the oysters and baked crab cake to start. Fries were out of this world and the crust on the roasted chicken entree was the highlight of our meal. Creme Brûlée to finish had a similar crust and we cannot recommend it enough. Excited to return when we can get another reservation! But it was 100% worth the wait.
This restaurant is a requirement. From Louie on Demun’s owner Matt Maguire with executive chef Cary McDowell (has worked at Daniel in NYC… ? wow)?7624 Wydown Blvd. Clayton, Mo in the former Fratellini space. Highly recommend a reservation.Named for Henry Wright, the architect who designed the World’s Fair Pavilion in #forestparkIt’s dark, sexy & seductive. A small spot. As always, let’s turn this steakhouse into a seafood spot. Come along.Cocktails Wright’s Old Fashioned & Martini & Side Car are musts!? Shrimp Scampi? YES! Garlic Bread, Chilies, Parsley? the Bibb Salad is Fresh, Crisp, Light & Refreshing? Get the Fries! WowI could eat here daily.

Worth the hype! Highlights are the absolutely delicious food, attentive but not overbearing service, and a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere.
This meal was transcendental and the service is second to none. Thank you so much to all the staff at Wright’s Tavern. Tonight was my birthday and you all made this the best experience I’ve ever had.
Wright's Tavern is a perfect location for romantic date nights with its incredible atmosphere. I love the vibe here. The food is fantastic, and the portions are huge. The cocktails are amazing. Their desserts are absolutely delicious! The service is also top-notch. It never disappoints. It’s a place where you're sure to have a wonderful time and leave satisfied.
Wrights is the gold standard of hospitality. Large portions for sides perfect for sharing, they have truly perfected all their offerings. I can’t wait to return

I NEVER write a review but this place is legitimately the best place I have ever eaten. We had the crab cakes, Caesar salad, and the filet mignon. Each dish was UNBELIEVABLE. The chef was very friendly and eager to converse with us. 11/10 food and service.

Wright's is a tough reservation to get, so as a self proclaimed foodie I was excited to try it. First was the crab cake. It was big, full of crab, perfectly cooked, and served with a delicious remoulade. Excellent.For a menu this small I expect the entrees to be slam dunks. Unfortunately neither the filet or potato crusted halibut were anything to write home about. The filet was cooked well but drowned in peppered brown gravy. Not only is this a weird choice of sauce to me but it overpowered the meat and took away any chance of having a good seared crust.The halibut looked nice but had very little flavor. It sat on a bed of green beans and a heavy cream sauce. This was clearly intended to power the flavor of the dish but I would have preferred a more flavorful fish with the sauce as a companion.Overall it was a good meal but not worth the price tag. For this kind of food in this budget I'd recommend Hamilton's or Sidney Street Cafe.

Worth the wait to get in, worth the hype! We had a wonderful experience with Trevor at the bar. Everything was spectacular and will be returning soon. What a wonderful little gem! Crab cakes and chicken are a most.
didn't want to seat me at the bar because I was a solo diner. sat a couple instead who got there after me and basically told me I was out of luck

As a foodie and a snob for the finer foods I’ve traveled a lot in the name of culinary excellence. Without exaggeration, this is in the top three restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. The simple menu has just been perfected. Crab cakes, a dozen raw oysters, roasted chicken (the absolute best), and crème brûlée. This establishment has set the bar for fine dining in St Louis.
