I did the tasting menu with an out of town guest to show her some of the best of STL eating and we weren’t disappointed.The service was absolutely fantastic and communicative on that busy Saturday night. I couldn’t say a single bad thing about the food. If you have a chance, get the focaccia. I’ll be back for the regular menu next time!

5 star food but 4 stars for several other reasons.Arrived with a reservation time but no front of house was even around. Waited 10 min to be seated. They were busy but it’s a small place - most likely understaffed. Bar was backed up and our drinks took a good 20 minutes to arrive after ordering. Our servers switched mid course - the first was a little aloof but nice - second was very knowledgeable and prompt.Food was delicious. We did the 7 course tasting menu for $75. While not huge portions we left feeling satisfied and really enjoyed the different foods they highlighted. Super creative pairings - the chef really knows what he’s doing.Overall I’m not sure we’d rush back anytime soon but it was a fun place to check out. Vibe inside is very trendy but kind of cold - not in the best area so try and close nearby if you can find parking.

Came here for the 7 course tasting menu, will not recommend to anyone. We have done several tasting menus in St. Louis, and this is the most disappointing. The ambience is nice, warm lighting but loud music and the two tops are large (especially for such small plates) and make it difficult for intimate conversation. Service was a low point, we had follow up questions when presented with each dish and they weren't answered. We had two cocktails that were average. The seven "courses" of the tasting menu were absurdly TINY. Laughably small. We are experienced in tasting menus and understand they are a "taste", but each costs about $10 if you break it down, and they were (6 of the 7) SO stingy in size that we couldn't even get a grasp of the flavors or have an appreciation for what chef was trying to accomplish! The first course as a 2oz pour of a pork broth and a side accompaniment the size of a nickle (can't go into specific of each dish as we don't recall the elements). Another course was a single rye cracker (delightful in lightness I'll say) that was broken in half, paired with two nickle-size dollops of chicken liver soufflé whip of some sort (once again, not the chef so that's an inaccurate verbiage). Another course was a slice (think 3 inch C-shaped slice) of Wisconsin candied squash. Beautiful flavor, but probably less than 50 grams of actual FOOD. We also couldn't help but feel that everything was so overly savory, heavily salted. Each dish had some unique flavors to appreciate, but bites (or bite) was overpower by saltiness. It was unbelievably disappointing. We left SO HUNGRY and so underwhelmed and actually angry about the $240 spend.

Food was pretty good - loved the vegetarian accommodation. The service was superb and the staff was very knowledgeable.

We did the 10 course meal with one drink pairing and it was the perfect amount of food. Incredible food and great vibe!

Absolutely incredible food and great vibe! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun date night. We did the 10 course menu and one drink pairing to split and it was the perfect amount of food!

Yea we had high hopes after really enjoying their previous restaurant Savage. As several people said already, beautiful food but really lacking cohesive flavors especially for the price, we ended up spending $200+ and had to stop for food on the way home. I don’t expect them to give huge portions but I do expect them to plan things out better so people leave full and satisfied. We left there thinking we got hoodwinked.

Had 10 course meal. We liked maybe 6 of the 10 dishes. 3 of them we just didn't like at all and couldn't even finish two of them. Over half the courses were seafood which was a bit overwhelming if you're not really into seafood. I was expecting "locally-driven" fair as they advertised, but it was obviously a Japanese-inspired menu. Very good cocktails and service, and the atmosphere is also great.

5 plus stars!! The finest dining experience my husband and I have ever enjoyed. We did the full tasting with drink pairing, and it was incredible throughout! The ambiance of the restaurant, staff, and music really set the mood. Fantastic place!!

Such an incredible experience, the tasting menu makes for a fun date night. Do the drink pairing and the full 10 courses, it’s absolutely worth it. The owner Ely Logan is somebody with vision who is deserving of your support.

An absolutely amazing experience in which every Saint Louis foodie must partake. There is a seven and ten course tasting menu from which to choose. Being light eaters we went for the seven. It was a divine meal that cannot be recreated at home. Dinner started with a crumpet with Gruyère, fermented onions and honey, a couple courses later were confit carrots (we wanted all they had) then a pork collar protein and a not too sweet brown butter cake for dessert. The courses are just a few bites so you won't be blah when you leave Please visit The Lucky Accomplice for a very memorable meal

Across the board they nail it. Service, ambiance, cocktails, menu, desserts ... an ode to Savage / Shift they've focused on a tasting menu and it's perfectly timed and world of different textures and flavors really make the experience exciting.

We did the 10 course pairing. Food was great. Our server Daniel took drink orders from the guys at our table and didn't think to ask any of the women if we wanted anything to drink. He then took drink orders from 2 of the 3 females and then walked away without getting the third's drink order. The entire time, it felt like we were being talked at and not talked to if that makes any sense. I gave 4 stars for service bc the staff worked together to run food, drinks, and helped to clear the table.
