I could go on and on about how great the food is, but what really sets them apart is the service. Every person that I've run into appears to genuinely like working there. Just makes for an overall enjoyable experience and obvious that the owners treat them well. And the patrons benefit from that. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.

The bread and beet appetizer was a major disappointment. We almost called it a day after we tried to pick at it. It was terribly dry, and the rest of the app had zero flavor, but we decided we might as well try a main course to give it a fair chance, so my husband and I both split their Special of the Day and wow. We were absolutely blown away. I still dream of these steak medallions and gnocchi."Steak tenderloin medallions with buttered champagne parmesan sauce; gnocchi and trumpet mushrooms on the side."Truly one of the best dishes I've had in STL.Their strawberry shortcake dessert was alright, but if you can get the medallion steak . . . ???Props to the chef on his specials. We'll definitely be back to try more!

The atmosphere is nice. I am sure it's better in the summer. If you have to use the bathroom on a busy night it might take a while... The food is okay at best, VERY over priced for what you get. Service was great!

Awesome service. The food is amazing. Definitely recommend the brisket ravioli with green goddess dressing. The rib appetizer is so tender and covered in a sauce that makes you want more. The pasta was hot and filled with such flavor I didn't want to stop. If you are in the mood for fried chicken, look no further Always served piping hot. The carrot cake dessert is a must have. A perfect way to end your meal.

The service was very friendly and the waiter came to check on us many times to ensure everything was good. The vegan pasta was very good, as was the house salad, but the prices are a lot - other people have said that the portions are big, but they're really not for the price, in my opinion. I'm glad we tried it out but it's not somewhere we would go again, based on the cost per meal alone.

We love this place! Everyone is very kind and the food is great! We especially love sitting on their great patio on warmer nights.

A very small, casual and comfortable spot on The Hill. Server was personable, accommodating and timely. Cocktails were well-crafted. Appetizers and entres were wonderful! Dessert selection was varied and appealing, but we were too full to partake. Next time!

We stopped in on a Thursday recently, because the place we wanted to try next door was an hour and 30 minute wait. We were seated right away because it was empty. That should have been a sign to exit. If asked if you want the heated patio or inside, choose the patio. It was warmer than inside. It was a little disappointing based on the reviews. The beef medallions were good. The bacon around them was almost raw, but the beef was good. The fettuccine was ok, but the chicken in it was chewy and flavorless. The service wasn't bad. She was quite friendly and accommodating. We probably won't go back because of the quality/pricing.

We had an excellent meal! I really like this restaurant, and I know I'll be back. Located in The Hill, the name and decor theme are a bit unique, being housed in an old timey gas station. It has a fun, eclectic vibe with a nice, casual atmosphere. There are big screen tvs everywhere, which was a nice distraction for the teenagers with us. The food was wonderful, and the portions were so big. Each of us had food we couldn't finish and took home leftovers. I had the day's special: pork chops with glazed figs, Gouda mashed potatoes, and roasted broccoli. I really liked it. It was a bit sweet with the glaze, but the Gouda potatoes balanced that out. I couldn't finish it. So I'll have leftovers for another meal. I also had an Old Fashioned with cranberry juice. It was delicious, and well mixed - no skimping by the bartender! The two teens had chicken fettuccine alfredo. It came with broccoli in it. Portions were huge. They said it was good, but couldn't finish it. So...leftovers! My friend had the seafood risotto and loved it. Again, the portion was more than she could eat. So...you guessed it, leftovers! We also had the day's special app of grilled shrimp over roasted eggplant and tomato. It was wonderful! And we had the brisket toasted ravioli. Let me rave about the ravs: they were awesome! One of the best things I ate. We each had dessert, which again were not small, petit sized. I had the carrot cake stuffed with cheesecake. It was all that I imagined. So good. I'll enjoy the rest tomorrow since I couldn't finish it. LOL Two of our party had the chocolate torte. I had a bite. It was rich and decadent. Another had the chocolate cake with hazelnut mousse filling. It was delicious and chocolatey - and will be polished off as a midnight snack, because again the portion was big! The price for all this awesomeness was not cheap, but I would spend it again. It was a treat, as I was hosting out of town guests. The service was excellent. The food was wonderful. The vibe was relaxing and enjoyable. I did make a reservation for 4, 6 pm on a Saturday night. Glad I did. They seemed busy, but not overwhelmed. It's obviously a good spot that is doing well. I want to go back, especially when the weather is warmer. The outdoor patio looks excellent and a perfect spot to enjoy their Sangria!
