Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Soulard / Benton Park

We were delighted with the exceptional food we enjoyed at Madrina! The appetizer of ricotta cheese, toasted bread and honey sounded simple, but was so delicious. We also enjoyed our entrees, a pasta with shrimp, artichokes, and tasty cream sauce, and pollo Marsala. Both entrees were outstanding. Our server was pleasant and helpful, offering a taste of the wine before we ordered it. The service all evening was great. We can’t wait to go back!

Steakhouse Review This steakhouse delivers an exceptional dining experience. The staff are friendly, attentive, and accommodating, going above and beyond to make the night special. Their tomahawk steak special is OUTSTANDING —perfectly cooked and flavorful. For my wife’s birthday, they surprised us with a salted bourbon bread pudding with a candle, a thoughtful touch that added to the celebration. The chill atmosphere and their care in packing to-go orders make this place a standout. Highly recommended for great food and fantastic service!

We had a 7:45 pm reservation, arrived about 15 mins early and had to wait 30-40 mins to get our table. We stood in the bar while waiting. Bar was fairly loud. We enjoyed gin rummy drinks. Our table was in a quieter side room. We shared the chorizo-stuffed dates as a starter. Very tasty. Hubby had the gyro and love it. I had the mixed grill which was excellent. We shared the creme brulee for dessert. It was excellent. We took a slice of key lime pie home to our daughter. She thought it was fabulous.

The experience was wonderful from start to finish! The server was welcoming & quick to get our drinks. We had several starters which were great. Cannot miss the French onion soup. We had burgers & a steak. The pommes frites are outstanding...a treat! Overall one of our favorite spots to dine with great cocktails & wine list.

Fun time! Great night out with friends. Show was good. Service could have been a bit tighter. I would have drank more, but the servers weren’t around enough for me to order more.
