Akar is a renowned restaurant in Saint Louis, serving exquisite dishes with a Malaysian fusion style. The menu features flavorful options such as gnocchi, tofu, and lamb special, which have been praised for their exceptional taste. The restaurant offers an upscale dining experience, with a limited seating area, and the staff is accommodating and attentive.
The menu showcases a blend of Asian-American and Middle Eastern flavors, with dishes like slow-cooked short rib, scallops with risotto, and the tender and flavorful lamb shank with rice and brussels sprouts. The restaurant also offers a variety of desserts, including mocha brûlée and cakes, which are not too sweet.
Akar is a flavor lover's dream, with an incredible knowledge of flavors and how they play together, applied to every dish. The menu rotates, and the specials vary, including dishes like the subtly seasoned short rib with lightly steamed carrots and pea mash. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is great, though some customers found the lack of complimentary bread unappealing. Overall, Akar is a great destination for special occasions and anniversaries, offering an unforgettable dining experience.
