Red Gravy offers upscale casual modern Italian fare.Chef/Owner Eric Brenner spent his first decade in the industry inside Italian kitchens. Talking up St. Louis' wide-ranging Italian eatery scene, which gets as specific as regional specialties, he says he's wanted to have a place like this since he was 18."We're going to start very simple and accessible," he says, "we'll play to the crowd and start a dialogue, then grow the menu with community input.""Simple," includes dishes like his tomato bisque, with which only has five ingredients. "It's all about the perfect balance. And that gets back to the essence of good Italian food: quality ingredients, very few, in perfect balance." Other examples include his St. Louis-style, thin-crust pizza, best compared to a flat-bread.

We had a wonderful lunch the day after Christmas. Had the French Onion Dip appetizer, Reuben, Fall Crunch Salad, portobello burger, and GOG Burger, and raspberry sorbet for dessert (various diners). All items were served hot and fresh and everyone loved their food. Compared to other fine dining venues, the prices are similar, so the incomparable views and ambience are essentially free. That makes the Grand View Dining room a bargain for a special meal. Highly recommend.

We were seated immediately, our waiter was amazing as he went over the remarkable menu, told us his favorites and also made great recommendations. The service was perfectly timed, The drinks were fabulous, the Arancini and Fried Calamari were outstanding with incredible sauces for both. The Shrimp Fra Diaviola was delicious, so was the Chicken Picatta and the Tonios Rigatoni. They also provide salads so 2 Traditional & 2 Caesar were both excellent. The Dessert menu was awesome but we were so full we couldn’t order one. Can’t wait to return to try more on the menu!
