Best Historic Restaurants in Ballwin

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. They are consistent in every way. The service was exceptional. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the flavor is second to none.

Anja did a great job. We had 10 women and she handled it all very well. Food exellent!

OpenTable displayed reservations available at 4:00pm and 4:30pm, but then nothing until 7:30pm. As a result we jumped on the 4:30 time for our first visit. The thing is there were only four couples in the restaurant between 4:30pm and 6:00pm. When I checked OpenTable again at 5:30pm from my seat, the 6:00 to 7:30pm slots were now available. I’m not sure why OpenTable showed no reservations available online between 4:30 and 7:30pm earlier in the day. Strange. We would have chosen a later dining time. The wines were fabulous. The tapas Brussels sprouts, stuffed mushrooms, and bacon wrapped dates were delicious. The hummus was a little bland and needed some salt to kick it up a notch. The wait staff did their jobs well, but seemed aloof and rushed in a relatively empty dining room. Also, a bit strange. Overall good, but not the excellence I expect at an upscale tapas bar. We intend to try again in the near future.
