Our first visit in and definitely won’t be our last! Very inventive menu with great flavors in every dish we tried. The wine menu was very extensive and as wine lovers there were so many we cannot wait to try something new each time we go back. Our waiter, Lee, was very good at his craft and made the dining experience even better. The cocktail menu is very fun and there is something on there for everyone! Highly recommend this great St Louis gem!

I sat at the bar and the server was amazing. I had the five course tasting menu and I must say that it left quite a bit to be desired. It seems just restaurant is trying to be something they are not yet or trying to grow into it. The food was average, at best. The bison carpaccio had good quality meat but the mixture of the other items on the plate just didn't go well together. The foie gras was more of a pate. And finally the fish was grossly overcooked.

It was ok. My expectations were pretty high after reading prior reviews plus looking at the prices on the menu. Our waitress was awesome! Service was great. Food was good. Nothing special. Very expensive. Ambience was not impressive. Have had better espresso martinis. I don’t know for 2 people to eat and drink it was $300 and it just didn’t feel like we got $300 worth of food, drink, and ambience.

The entire experience was amazing. We were seated just before 8pm and were permitted to do the tasting menu even though that is supposed to end at 8. Food and drinks were delicious! Server was super attentive and friendly. Thankful we don't live closer or we would be making weekly reservations. It was expensive, but I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Worth every penny!
