Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Creve Coeur

Our first dining experience at Spiro’s. Such a delightful experience. The dining staff were very attentive from start to finish. We enjoyed an appetizer, main course, and a wonderful in-house made dessert. There were intermittent culinary displays with some dishes prepared at table, even a flambé on occasion. We must return soon.

On what might have been their busiest night of the year, Cobalt was exceptional: the food, the service, and even the ambience (all the music impressive for its strip mall location)! Each course in the prix fixe was done with care and full of flavor. We particularly enjoyed the endive appetizer and the trout main course. And everything was made better by the perfect service provided by Maria: attentive without ever being overbearing,knowledgeable, personable. This was our first time at this restaurant and we are always prepared to offer grace on a night like Valentine’s Day;Cobalt needed none and far exceeded our expectations

Amazing steaks, great sides with good portion sizes. Minimal noise level and always top notch service. Also have a kids menu.

Our anniversary is on Valentine’s Day, celebrating 55 years today. Going out to eat on Valentine’s Day can be tricky because lots of other couples have the same idea. So we opted for a 1pm lunch and it worked out great! Warm and Cozy, great ambiance, good noise level, excellent service and the usual great food! Bristol’s is our go to restaurant.

Ambiance: The restaurant boasts a beautiful, contemporary interior with floor-to-ceiling wine racks and private dining spaces. The open, airy lounge and the patio lined with lit trees and a water fountain create a relaxing atmosphere. Food: The menu features a variety of Italian dishes that are both delicious and beautifully presented. Standout dishes include the Veal Saltimbocca and Sea Bass, which are cooked to perfection. The house-made dumpling noodles and the broiled veal chop with black truffle sauce are also highly recommended Service: The service at Il Bel Lago is consistently fantastic. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every dining experience is memorable. Whether you're there for a business meal or a romantic dinner, you'll feel well taken care of Wine List: The wine list is superb, featuring a balanced selection of Italian and American wines at a range of prices. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into curating a list that complements the menu perfectly
