Best Historic Restaurants in Downtown St. Louis

Music was too loud. Food was amazing. Waiter was great. Not a lot of places to eat downtown, so this place was an unexpected and delightful surprise

Wow! Amazing food, service was friendly and exceptional. Not only our waiter, but everyone passing by either smiled, said hello, or asked if we needed anything. After dinner, we went out to the patio to listen to the Zombie Butt Brass Band. What fun!

wonderful service, flavor food full of surprises and wonderful!

Invited a group out during a conference. We intentionally had plenty of time. The bartender/server was solo on a quiet Tuesday dinner service; she was quick with drinks attentive. The chef was accommodating of an allergy in our group.

This weekend evening at dinner time when the local baseball game was on-going should have provided personalized and individualized care. However, with one bartender and one server (I so no food runner or assistants or managers either) the service was slow. When it happened, the server was marginal but the bartender, Toni, was absolutely fabulous! She not only made you feel welcome and appreciated, she made the BEST Paper Plane in the Universe! The mix of doos that we selected was well presented and tasty. The menu however is very small and Pennydrop is more of an upscale bar with a small bar menu as opposed to a full service restaurant with an amazing bar. When the baseball game finished and a crowd from the game flowed in, the service slowed even further and lines at the bar were much longer. With a few more staff members, the experience would have been maximized. Regardless of this, I will be back for my next Paper Plane before I head out of town.
