The food has been famous for years, if you are down for a challenge, go there and order the big mama burger , it is the most massive thing that I have ever encountered, and it's always good! The atmosphere around the bar side , is always a dope vibe, if you are looking for a nostalgic good time, I suggest you go and place a visit.“

“Los mejores mariscos de la región Todo estuvo delicioso“

“Great food & friendly people“

“Great food and fantastic cocktails. The BLT with a fried egg add goat cheese DELICIOUS“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants for lunch or pizza take-out. My top picks: little gem salad, toscano or trout sandwich, blueberry lemon soda, and soft pretzel with butter. For dinner, their pepperoni and spinach pizzas are my faves. Their chocolate chip cookies are also amazing!“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“Food is great and served in reasonable time. The waitress could be more attentive to patrons seeing that the tip is added to the bill and paid before even receiving food. I asked for something and she forgot and brought it to the table 15 minutes later after I was almost done with meal. Had to ask for water, waitress only filled up my husband’s glass not mine and both were pretty much empty and I wasn’t even asked if I wanted more water. Hopefully this is read and improved on my return visit. It least it shows me how to tip next time 😏“

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!“

“Any adjective to describe their ribs is an understatement!!!“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Very good food. Great, friendly service. Good amout of options. Felt like homemade vs restaurant food and the ice cream is delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“Absolutely delicious. Hands down one of the better BBQ joints in the St. Louis area. Apple butter ribs were a major hit at work. 10/10 will go here again“

“Some restaurants try too hard to create a vibe. Songbird makes it look effortless.

The moment I walked in, it felt like a deep exhale—warm, welcoming, and the kind of place that invites you to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. What surprised me most was that the standout stars weren’t anything overly complicated. It was the little things done exceptionally well.

That toasted English muffin? Golden, buttery perfection with just the right crunch. The kind of simple item that reminds you how good food can be when it’s made with care. And the applewood bacon? Absolute chef’s kiss. Smoky, crisp, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Songbird has mastered the art of making breakfast feel special without being pretentious. It’s the type of place you’ll think about long after you’ve left—and find yourself planning your next visit before you even get home.“

“just got back from our tour! such great fun! we loved the tour. We look forward to coming back on a Friday night for some fun and drinks! We loved our tasting!“

“I’m 78, travelled the world and these are the very best noodles and noodle dishes I have ever had. I doubt I will ever eat ramin or udon ever again. This is not a fancy sit down restaurant, it’s a Japanese noodle restaurant or social bar. The young lady receptionist/waitress was very welcoming and helpful. The cooks are hard working and friendly. The selection is somewhat limited but just the kind of meals you will want to try again and again. 一番 Ichiban. (# 1)“

“They care about the community just as much as they do about coming up with new creative and tasty food. An all around good place. Unless you don't like scary movies and gothic decor then get your order to go and you'll still love them.“

“The food is phenomenal!!!!“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“Literally the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever had!! Cute diner, with super sweet and personable staff. Highly recommend!!“

“I have been wanting to get here for several years, and we finally made it, tonight, to Anthonino's Taverna, a short distance from Rob's place. (Fun fact, this place has been spotlighted twice on Guy Fieri's Food Channel Show. I can now see why. 🥰) Well, I wish I had made it here sooner. But, that's behind us, and tonight was a delicious, and delightful night. Our waitress, Bailee, had the excellent insight to know it takes awhile to decide on a drink, and dinner choices. It doesn't matter if you read the menu online or not. Changes are always added. She gave us the grace to settle in for a few minutes. She gave us enough time to settle in so we could make our choices. Rob had a Kona Wave draft, and I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Bailee brought us bread made, and baked on The Hill with great quality olive oil, and herbs for dipping. Rob ordered the lasagna, and I opted for the Tutti de Mare with seafood, garlic, butter, and olive oil. My dinner was delicious, and made with freshly made pasta, and a perfect mix of perfectly cooked wild caught seafood of mussels,shrimp, clams, and squid. Rob's lasagna also featured freshly made pasta sheets, Anthonino's red sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. I tasted it, and it's your pick here if you love lasagna. Homemade taste that brought me back to my grandmother's and my mother's tables. 🥰❤️ I also felt welcomed, and comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Italian girl here, and I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, the customer service, and the ambiance. I am already planning to come back on my next trip here. Anthonino's Taverna“

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Never had Persian food. I ordered the Aash stew, lamb biryani, and chai.The stew was wonderful and refreshing. The lamb shank w biryani was fall of the bone. Such magical flavors in the lamb. The chai was such a great addition. Its fresh made not instant. Service was exceptional by the owner and he was so thankful to my compliments. For those whom do not know about Persia, it is a culture in Iran. Do yourself a favor and give the small business a try.“

“I want to extend my deep gratitude to the great Hostess last Saturday afternoon who kindly went above and beyond her responsibilities not only as a host but as a human being by letting me (offering!) charge my lon foot and had a dead phone. It was about 4 pm and the place was slightly busy (almost outside full and inside) but not much else was around the area so my hunch and restaurant experience tells me they’re doing everything right: good food, good prices and good staff. The atmosphere is inviting, unpretentious and sort of a homey, cozy n stylish flair. I would’ve rather stayed and ate but thankfully the hostess helped me on my way. thank you for helping and not being annoyed when I asked for directions twice! (Also,“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, & great vibes!!!“

“Jake the owner has honestly the best beers in town and he'll make it a point to come talk to each and every person who comes in the Civil Life man I love this place and it has a old British atmosphere.Not enough kind words to say about this place.“

“Great burgers! I LOVED my TriPPPy burger which has a pineapple chutney and bacon jam. You will want extra napkins with that one.? My husband built his own burger to get just what he wanted and enjoyed his burger. They also have veggie options, but these carnivores did not explore them.“

“Our wedding in February 2024 was a dream come true! Grbic helped make our day absolutely perfect. Leija was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with and quick to respond to all of our needs. The ceremony was held on the covered patio space and the reception in the Luxe Room which is gorgeous! The homemade food was delicious and the staff were all so friendly and fun. We were able to borrow almost all of our decor from their closet which was an added bonus. We are so happy we chose Grbic!“

“Has gluten free options, healthy fresh food and drink options. Love the staff and ambiance. I Always shop for plants or gifts in their gift shop after eating.“

“Wonderful food! Wonderful atmosphere! Wonderful owners! highly recommend.“

“The waiter was excellent! The food was amazing. The entire staff did a awesome job with greeting and service! I will definitely be back🎉🥰“

“Really enjoyed my experience here! The food was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable, with plenty of seating available. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend trying the Thai tea“

“Favazza’s is a well-known and respected Italian spot on “The Hill”, St. Louis’ Italian Neighborhood filled with old delis, charming markets and upscale Italian restaurants. Our extended family is a big fan of Favazza’s, so we go from time to time with them. We went last week with my Aunt & Uncle, and it was great. The dining room(s) are charming, but getting a bit dated, in all honesty. Since it’s on “The Hill”, it’s not necessarily an issue, but in any other neighborhood, I think others would agree with me that it needs some sprucing up. Regardless, the ambiance has a fancy and classy feel to it. The service we had was fine. Everyone is dressed up and respectful, but sometimes the service lacks personality at these places because they’re so worried about being “ritzy”. This is the case we had last week. Regardless, also a fine experience in this category. The food was DELICIOUS last week. We started with the Toasted Ravioli. You can tell it’s the real-deal — the filling is excellent. Our entrees were also phenomenal. I got the Chicken Limone and it was tangy and luscious. Genuinely one of the best Italian dishes I’ve had before. The dinner salads, side pasta and phenomenal garlic bread were an added bonus. Favazza’s may be older and their service may lack personality, but their food is nothing to scoff at. A very solid 4 Stars from me.“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“After visiting the Fox Theater on Saturday we had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and our server Wendy was absolutely delightful. Our drinks, appetizers, dinner(fresh pasta) and desserts did not disappoint. The manager stopped by twice to check on us. Incredible! We wanted to bring Wendy home with us but we had to have her back by Wednesday! We can’t wait to return!!!! 10🌟“

“Doesnt look promising as you turn on but keep going. The beer was much better than expected and the staff was very friendly. They have a small but unique onsite kitchen (Mess Hall) and loads of space indoors and outdoors. This is a worthwhile stop.“

“I ordered while at work and walked over after closing up shop to realize that I was WAY early for my pickup order. The staff member at the counter did not make me feel silly for being early and fired my order early
Pizza head makes our city a better place. They feed the unhoused and folks in need as well as giving back to the community. So glad to be neighbors with them and enjoy their FIRE food
Xoxo“

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“

“Our first experience here was nothing shy of amazing. The service was incredible, even with a bar full of pub crawlers. The food was so delicious and we cannot wait to go back.“

“The shrimp po'boy was messy enough that half the meal was trying not to drop it. Seafood tasted fresh and the portions were generous. Live music started while we were eating and the whole place got louder as the night went on. Crowded, energetic, and a little chaotic, but in a fun way.“

“Always a good time with friends!“

“We went here after seeing it on Netflix Fresh, Fried and Crispy. Let me begin by saying I am not vegan, I just love food. It did not disappoint! The chikn tasted like real chicken. The crispy breading was golden and flavorful and the fries were amazing! They were sprinkled in a spice blend that wasn't over powering.

Even if you're not vegan, I would highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Absolutely amazing! The food and drinks were outstanding and the service was even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a nice restaurant with the best food, this is it!“
