Best Seasonal Restaurants in East St. Louis, Illnois

Great food and experience. Our server Brittney was awesome.

Idol Wolf is located in the amazing 21c Hotel and they have a fantastic free art museum open 24 hours. We arrived just before 5 for our reservation, before they actually opened and the host greeted us immediately and let us know they would be ready in about 5 minutes. We took the time to check out the museum and seated as soon as we returned. We both enjoyed the Idol Wolf Old Fashioned to start and had 4 orders of Tapas to share for our meal. All were amazing in flavor profile and presentation. I had been before, so I knew I would get the "Chorizo" Roasted Hen of the Woods: chorizo-spiced butter, arepa con queso, smoked aioli, and it was amazing. The portions were great and the food was delivered quickly. I will be back again.

Our experience was awesome, we received a text message when our table was ready prior to our arrival. Upon arrival, we were escorted immediately to our table. Server was awesome and attentive, food was ordered quickly and arrived in a timely manner. Great experience, looking forward to another opportunity to dine.

Wow, I wish I could give this place 10 stars. My boyfriend and I were visiting St. Louis for the weekend and we were recommended to come here. To say we loved it feels like an understatement. I had asked to be seated in a quieter section and they happily accommodated. The ambience was perfection: jazz and dim lighting…music wasn’t too loud. Our server Zach, gave us great menu recommendations. We ordered the French onion soup to share as our appetizer and it was incredible. We got the chicken dish and braised beef…absolutely phenomenal. For dessert, we had a hard time deciding between the chocolate mousse and the cream puffs. The kitchen gifted us the cream puffs (absolute angels). Also, the espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. Overall, 11/10 experience. I’ll be dreaming of the desert for a while. Thank you to the kind hostess and server and staff who all made us feel so special and taken care of!

This was our first time dining here prior to attending our show and it will now be our normal place to dine prior to the each show. Also the service was amazing and the food was incredible.
