Best Casual Restaurants in University City

One of my three favorite restaurants in STL and the perfect place for a fantastic birthday dinner with my wife. A couple of things to note: when I asked for a recommendation on a white wine to go with my dinner, our waiter brought out two different samples for me to try instead of just the one I asked to taste. I went with the second option that I hadn’t even expected to try. The other was the noise/music level when we first arrived was noticeably higher than it normally is. Within 15 minutes of arrival, however, it had been turned down. Food was terrific. North Atlantic Salmon was perfectly prepared. And the Pumpkin Dessert was delicious.

We had great wine, delicious food and a helpful waiter and it was reasonably priced I felt. Next time I would like to try the chalet's out back...I have always loved the patio at Scape / now Edera!

French onion soup was good. Caesar salad good but heavy on the dressing. Prices were a little high. Service was outstanding, very personable staff members.

Always enjoy dining at Louie's Wine Dive. Great food and friendly staff.

I have gone many times. The restaurant never disappoints. Servers are terrific. They are the perfect mix of friendly, professional, and helpful. The food taste really good always seems freshly prepared. The heat throughout the food seems very consistent so I doubt they use a microwave or other to reheat food—if I am wrong they are best reheaters there ever were! Atmosphere is just right. Enjoyable casual and prices in today’s world are pretty darn good! Highly recommend
