“Food was absolutely delicious and they have large portion sizes - I had been craving seafood boil for a while and this really hit the spot!! Atmosphere is extremely fun as well! The service was completely incredible - Alyssa was so kind and helpful even though we came in on the later side! I accidentally forgot my engagement ring on the table and Alyssa and another server found it and stayed late to get it back to me (thank you so much again to the both of them)!! They are really awesome here, I definitely recommend!“
“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.“
“This is a GREAT neighborhood restaurant! Great ambiance in the front room! Very good wine list; we thoroughly enjoyed the Manzone Gramolere Barolo. The food was excellent, and the portions quite large on the Chicken Marsala. One of the specials was Divers Scallops on a bed of risotto, and the scallops were perfectly done. Service after the entree could have been more attentive.“
“Had a wonderful time with wonderful food. The service was great. This was a gift from my daughter and her husband for my retirement. It is a fancier, pricier place, but who doesn’t want to do that once in a while for a special evening out. Go and enjoy a relaxed night out on the town.“
“Such a cool vibe at this well decorated Latin American fare restaurant! Our family went there for brunch so had both the brunch & lunch menus available to us - the empanadas that we treated as starters were phenomenal and so many choices for the mains. Corey was our server and he was phenomenal, embodying the can-do, customer-first spirit.....and super friendly. Cant wait to go back there for a dinner next time!“
“We went there at around 7:50pm. We didn't have any reservations and the wait time was 45 mins.When we finally got our table the wait time for food was minimal. We started with freshly baked soft bread while waiting.The food was delicious. Capellini alla Zia was my favorite followed by Cannelloni. The server was very nice and attentive.The ambience was nice but too loud, lol ?I suggest book a reservation if you want to avoid long waiting time.“

“0 a+ rating I would just say that everything was on time and it was hot prepared immaculately and on top of that you could get no better in service or privacy so if you want to instrument dinner with somebody that you care about deeply this would be the place to have it so a+ double a plus in my book“
“We were excited to try the Tavern tonight for the first time. We were a bit underwhelmed. I only got 3 scallops for a $45 entree (even Disney will give you 4 for the same price). Additionally, the fries and baked cookie had a burnt aftertaste from the oven. For $150, we thought it was significantly overpriced for what we got.“
“Can be a little loud when they are busy. Food is good and you get lots, won't leave hungry.Parking: Depending on how busy they are, sometimes parking is not great. Restaurant shares parking with a convenience type store/sandwich shop, and I believe a laundromat around the corner.“
“Good food.. just wish the waiter would have worried about our table just as much as the larger table. Not good for it to take 1.5 hours before your main food arrived.. but could have just been a off night.. still like the place and will go again in the future.“
“Have been going here for years but last night's service and food was beyond any experience we have ever had. I commented on their Facebook post about a dessert and how awesome it would be to try the next night when we were there. They set one aside and put it with our reservation! That is about the highest level of service I have ever experienced at any restaurant. Jamie is an amazing host and I will make sure to request his section every time we make a reservation. He has been our host the last couple times and just goes above and beyond for all his guests. Cannot say enough great things about every experience we have had here.“
“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.“
“Amazing food, service and staff across the board. Our waiter Maz is in the team picture of best 5 waiters I’ve ever had. Attentive beyond necessity! What waiter pours 3 guys bottled beers into a frosty glass? Maz does! Total understanding of menu, ingredients and recommendations! Highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Maz! Definitely will be back next time i’m in St. Louis!“
“First time visiting El Potro, had the enchiladas with mole and 3 tacos dinner Al pastor and carne asada. Everything from the service to the food was great. The owner and staff are super nice!! Will definitely go back , next time will try the molcajete.“

“Born & Raised in Louisiana- I never thought I’d find a place that made me feel like I was eating at home! The food, the atmosphere, the hospitality…. I can not believe I just found this place but definitely has turned into one of my favorites!!!! Kyle was absolutely amazing!!!“
“This was very first time eating here. The cuisine is excellent! I had the lunch special, Generals chicken for $10.99. Fast, gracious, attentive service once you are seated. However, they never even made eye or greeted me upon arrival, or after sitting down. Make sure you initiate it or you may be "waiting to be seated" for awhile lol.“
“This is in contention with the fanciest place that I've ever had dinner. I had the steak and mashed potatoes, both of which were the best that I've ever had. I added a succulent bone marrow butter that I still think about from time to time. The service is top notch as you would expect.If you are driving you have to valet park. Be prepared for that. Also, plan to spend money. It was the most expensive ticket that I've ever had.“
“This was a night out with my brothers and friends. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The drinks were okay. The bloody mary was simple, not much zing to the taste. It was kind of bland. Our server was polite and friendly. We were treated to vocals from retired football tight end Jackie Smith. He sounded great that night. A nice place for dinner or just cocktails after donner.“
“The food was delicious. My wife said her gyro was the best gyro she's ever had. I had the chicken shawarma and it was really good. The prices are better than they should be for the food you get. I would definitely recommend trying this place.My only complaint is that the TV in the dining area was stuck on a news channel while we were there, which was showing some pretty brutal war photos, but that's on me for feeling too awkward to want to ask them to change the channel.“
“Wow ! What a great place from the food to the decor as soon as you step just inside the door it screams Mexico. I used their event room all day for meetings. Liz and Dave took great care of me all day. Dave was my right hand man, I will be back.“
“I have visited Trattoria Toscana a few times and decided to take my son and daughter in law for a celebration dinner. It was exquisite! The food was delicious as always. Frankie was an outstanding server and worthy of accolades! Trattoria Toscana will be my choice of restaurants to celebrate or just go out for delicious food for no special reason. So happy!“
“Had chicken enchilada soup + walleye fillet for lunchSoup, fish and fries were very good.Went at 1 PM CT and It was not crowded at that timeService was very good and we were promptly served.Overall a very good experience. Thank you.Parking: Plenty of parking spots during lunch time since Dance Academy is not open at that time.“
“Really nice place inside. Don't know what the bar looked like because we didn't go in. I have heard people say that it's pricey and of course it is because this isn't your average Mexican restaurant. The menu is small plate oriented and the menu ismore like a tasting menu. The food is higher end than all the other places and outstanding. I can't comment on their drink menu because I seldom drink when going out. I will say that the pricing seem to be a bit higher than most places which will account for a higher per person ticket if one has two or three drinks. Still, our total was $70 ore tip for 2 people including 2 beers.The wait time between "courses" is a bit long but not enough for me to really complain about. The staff were friendly dmv knowledgeable about the menu. It may not me a place we'll go to monthly but we will definitely be back!“
“Greeted immediately upon entering by friendly staff. Service was great, food cooked to perfection. ?? Atmosphere had a great vibe. Compliments to the bartender on the Drinks. They were great as well. Overall, great first-time experience. Will definitely be back to try more options on the menu.“
“My wife and I love Koibito and are frequent visitor’s for lunch and dinner. The bowls are amazing and the staff provide exceptional service. Huge shout out to Jon who always greets us with a smile and we enjoy the few minutes conversing as he prepares our bowls. We will keep coming back.“
“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.“
“HANDS DOWN THE BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT AROUND!!!!!! WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS THAT I'VE EATEN HERE ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND EVERYTIME MY FOOD ALWAYS IS BURSTING IN FLAVOR!!!! ITS LIKE THEY NEVER MISS!!!! I ALWAYS GET B1 BUT NEXT TIME IM GOING FOR THE GUMBO ALSO!“
“Come often and never disappointed. Yesterday had Margarita', chicken wings & cheese dish. Everything was Amazing. The owner always speaks and the staff makes sure everything is to your liking. 1st class & best Mexican is St. Louis.“
“always a great meal, reasonable prices and always a drink special! Harry really knows how to do this upright. It's a seafood, gumbo, all around great restaurant. If you're interested in those types of great things, including fried clams, fish tacos, and crab, I highly recommend it !“
“This restaurant has such a nice ambiance and peace about it. I loved the atmosphere and the waitresses and waiters were phenomenal. However, for me the food was presented well, but a bit bland for my liking thus the 3 stars. Overall a nice place to try.Parking: There is plenty of free parking on the lot. It also sits on a joining lot with a hotel. Also a nice amount of handicap parking in front of the entrance.“
“Food was very delicious and flavorful. I really enjoy authentic Mexican food, and hit the nail on this one. The corn they give you on the side was delicious and sweet and very moist. The drinks were deli's as well. The service was amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations. The inside was very clean,spacious and dim lit. Can't wait to go again and try more food.“
“Wine was cold, appetizer hot, food plentiful and hot. Service was great. Prices reasonable. Definitely a repeat. Little known gem.Parking: Anyway large strip mallWheelchair accessibility: They have booths or tables with chairs which can be removed and easy seating for wheelchair. No steps“
“Non-descript corner bakery that serves authentic Chinese bakery items along with roast meats and a smattering of dimsum dishes. Gets busy on weekends around late morning. Has other branch on S. Grand but that location has a smaller assortment of items.“
“The food was very good. Our sever "Jennifer" was kinda rude and did not return after paying check. Coffee and Juice is not included with brunch it was on or the other which seemed odd to me. I will be back just with another sever.“
“It has been many years since we have been to Sam's Steakhouse so decided to go last Saturday night. Very pleased with our visit. General Manager Mark Erney made sure everything was exceptional, Food and service was fantastic. We will return and make sure to tell friends and family.Parking: Didn't have a problem parking close to restaurant.“
“I had been looking for another good black, owned fish, restaurant, other than mothers. Even though I like mothers fish, there aren’t many around…. When I found the Fishhouse, I realize I had found a home.. it’s a family owned business, and their fish is fresh and fried well. They even have good sides, and I don’t usually eat everyone’s side dishes.“
“We went elbows deep on a loaded platter and walked out with fully moisturized hands and arms from the butter bath. Everything was perfectly seasoned, cooked just right and tasted delicious. The shrimp and grits are the best I have has this side of the Mississippi! It really hits all the cozy, comfort dish points. The creamy grits, flavorful gravy and plump juicy shrimp will make you a repeat customer.“
“Pretty solid. Was our first time having Indian, so this was a new experience. We got the dinner for 2, the soup was super good! The chicken tikka masala and the lamb curry was nice, though my lamb had a super crunchy bit that I couldn’t tell what it was. Not as spicy as I was hoping for but I was happy. The rice pudding they gave wasn’t very good, had a muted taste. The bread was excellent. Service was okay, the servers weren’t very chatty and we had like 4 different people checking in. Kind of an awkward experience. Would definitely get carry out or go again!“
“We went on a Friday night at 6:30. Very spacious and nicely decorated. We were seated immediately in a nice big booth. Chips were hot, fresh, and delicious. Salsa very tasty as well. Margaritas were good but waaaay too much ice!! Food came quick, hot, and so very good. We will be back!“
“Celebrated our anniversary here with an delicious meal and fantastic service .Starting with the 801 Manhattan, perfectly mixed through to the Bread Pudding dessert, our entire meal was wonderful.Our server, Nicki, was friendly, attentive and helpful, with sought out suggestions on what we might especially like from the many enticing menu items.Chef, Tyler, came to our table to answer our questions about meal preparation and then again to see how we enjoyed our meal (which we very much did!!).The New Bedford Sea Scallops were just amazing. So many flavors all in one dish, all complimenting each other perfectly.“
“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!“
“Food is as amazing as always. Our server tonight was great she was funny and quick definitely couldn't have asked for a better server.Parking: There is plenty of parking as they have a giant gravel lot next to the building and the library which closes fairly early so there is more than enough parking“
“I stopped in here during Lent. I went to the location on Manchester. It is a modest sized store, and most people are getting take out rather than eating in. I got the friend catfish and shrimp with a side of mac & cheese. There was a steady stream of customers over lunch. I waited maybe ten minutes total for my food which was reasonable given the crowd. Both the catfish and the shimp was great. The breading was right in the sweet spot of not being too thick or two thin. I grew up eating catfish and it is just one of those things you love or not. The way it was prepare here was just fantastic. The mac & cheese was okay, but next time I'll probably just get the fries. I look forward to trying out the chicken wings some other time as they were the main order I saw other customers getting.“
“Great Place to dine ? The Cajun boil bag is DELICIOUS! It came with ? corn, ?potatoes, sausage ? and shrimp ? Awwwe Man the broth n sauce in the bag was soo tasteful and full of garlic ? and it came with a side of garlic bread ?Definitely will be eating here again?? and recommending to my friends ?“
“I ate here tonight and had the Chile Colorado with beef tips in verde sauce. The beef was tender and the sauce was nice and hot, very good. The portions were standard and the rice and beans were good too. The atmosphere is more quiet than other competitors which was nice. They also had a man singing and playing guitar which was a real nice touch. The service was fine. The chips could be upgraded. I will be going back sooner than later.“
“Ambiance = none I stopped in for plain white steamed rice to go. The smells are AMAZINGLY DELIGHTFUL so upon entering I was disappointed to see a large too With really no decor only tables and chairs. I did not go on a tour, nor peruse the online photos so I'm guessing that the back rooms are sexy intimate dining rooms. But that's for you to check out! Enjoy“
“We've passed this place several times and for my birthday, I figured we'd give it a try.The place is exactly the aesthetic I was hoping for, a lodge/inn look, with great lighting and simple decor. It's not something others may care about, but for me, it sets a great mood. And this place delivers on that for me.I was told they had a tomahawk ribeye steak on special, and I couldn't resist ordering it (admittedly, without asking the price), my wife ordered the filet.I don't want to complain too much, especially since we didn't bring it up to our server, but we both ordered the steaks medium-rare, and what we both received was medium to medium-well... a significant temperature difference. Especially for those cuts. That was disappointing, but we stopped 'complaining' about overcooked steaks a long time ago; too many horror stories.But, the flavor was outstanding, seasoned flawlessly, my only nitpick on the tomahawk (besides being overcooked) was the rosemary garnish, it should have been left off the dish unless you love to eat those needles. That is pretty much culinary school 101, don't plate something that can't or shouldn't be eaten.The staff was great with everything else, including bringing me a cupcake with a candle on it and wishing me a 'Happy Birthday'.For the price, I expected much better preparation of the steaks, but the place itself, the service/staff, and the overall flavor of everything were very very good.It's a birthday dinner I'll not forget (in a good way).“
“This was an outstanding experience start to finish. The service was incredible. Our server was very friendly and attentive. There was also a bus person who made sure our water glasses were always full and quickly cleared the table of finished dishes (he was a star!). And the food and drinks were amazing. Large portions of deliciousness! I'd give six stars if I could!“
“Called ahead to have someone to come out to get my take order to go. I need assistance in getting out of car. They came out to take my order at the curb ( told me the whole menu) then told me to park in the back and they brought me my order to go. IOrder the steak sandwich . It was delicious really full of meat ( asked to cut in 3rd,) it came with chips and I also ordered of the 1/2 lb potato salad ( it was excellent ) I got two meals . Out of that order. Yummm.“
