What a joke. Reserved for 7-8 people for a very important birthday party. Menu and food was mediocre, but that was not what not the disappointment. The service was probably the worst I have EVER experienced. I completely understand if you are new or in training, but when you do not know what you are doing, at least be respectful and pleasant. That will make up for your other shortcomings. I am pretty patient and understanding, but this was one of the worst experiences of my life, and definitely you picked the wrong date. Sorry, you will never see me or my friends again. Such a shame you have a good location. From the moment we walked in and the table was not ready, even after we called to let them know that we will be about 10 minutes late, we were placed at the table still wet, hand shaken with the wet towel by the waiter and some lady "manager" that didn't even introduce herself, everything was a turn off. Two of the stakes we ordered were cold, sent back to reheat them, ordered two andive salads, only one made it to table. No one even offered to take them off the bill or at least apologise. At the end, they could't clean the table fast enough to send us away, and it was only 10:15pm. A total disaster and it was "just" my daughters birthday that we see every 6 months. Nobody is perfect, but a good service experience will go a long way and make up for other mistakes

High end French food served in a beautiful atmosphere.

I’ve only been here during their Spritz Hour and will return for a full meal. The spritzes are refreshing and delicious, as are the nibbles offered during Spritz Hour. The gougeres, caviar, financiers and oysters are divine. The atmosphere inside is quaint and delightful.

Absolutely delicious and incredible. Everything was top notch. We had the braised beef short ribs and they couldn't be more tender and flavorful.

This is a review from quite a while back, I never really did reviews until just recently, so now I’m going back and reviewing places that I felt deserve it! The French onion soup here was exquisite!!! Not sure that it’s even on the menu at this point because the night that I was there I was told that it was newly on the menu and may only be temporary….regardless it was excellent!!

Absolutely fantastic staff, but the food is overrated. Just because a place is fancy doesn't make it good.
I was really excited about the beef tartare, but it was overly tangy and gray and didn't have enough flavor to go with the potato chips provided for dipping. Our entrees were just OK. Scallop on a bed of something unpleasant and the other I completely forget. We did have an amazing duck liver tart, but it was a predictably miniscule portion and served with an inedibly bitter endive salad. Ended the meal with a sort of strawberry ice cream dessert...it had a shell that was supposed to make it fancy but really was pointless as it didn't even add anything aesthetically. The cumulative flavor was exactly like bargain vanilla ice cream mixed with strawberry syrup, the stuff they fed us at Valentines Day parties in elementary school...
I'll end by saying again that the staff are awesome. (Compliment sandwhich)
But! Ultimately in my humble opinion this Bistro is for rich people that care more about wine and appearances than flavor.

This meal was incredible. I didn't know there was food this refined in St. Louis as it was my first time visiting. My boyfriend and I started off with the Tour de France, which I highly recommend, it was a big highlight of our meal. Next, we got the local asparagus and the steak tartare. I've had steak tartare many times and this one was one of my favorites. For the entree, I ordered the trout and my boyfriend got the Parisian gnocchi, both were incredible. We finished off the meal with the pain perdu, it was so satisfying and i cannot stop thinking about how darn good it was! We also had a scoop of their lemon poppyseed ice cream, which i've never had anything like before, it was wonderful. Bistro La Floraison really surprised me, the flavors and textures of each bite were extremely mouthwatering and elevated. The service was very good as well which made this the perfect date night!

Great atmosphere and relaxed approach to dinner. Fun spritz and the Gruyère mousse made for a great start. The beef and halibut were perfectly made. So flavorful and perfect textures.

The food was overall good but not great or life changing. We are big fans of Vicia and were hoping for the same complexity of flavors but did not find it in all the dishes here - only some of them.
We ordered: Gougeres - cheese fondue and popovers. Fondue was good but the popovers were kind of doughy and dense. Beef tartare - fine, not great - the tartare was a bit flavorless and flat despite being served with a jus French onion soup - good! No complaints. Mussels - the star of the show, 5/5, some of the best mussels I’ve had Pain perdu - a carmelized dessert with toasted brioche and Clementine’s ice cream that was delicious.
Special shout out to the mocktail Papillon. I don’t like when mocktails are just fruit juice but this one really had the complexity and slight bitterness of a cocktail.
Overall we would come back but there are flavor profiles of some dishes that could be elevated to make this a 5/5 meal.
