“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“First time and not the last time we dine here, God willing! 🙏🏼♥️🏁 Very busy place, but fantastic service, food, and experience! Josh answered the phone and was so helpful, friendly and welcoming! When we walked in Josh was on it, made us feel we were “regulars”, like he new us personally and Stacey, the hostess that seated us, was equally as welcoming and we were seated promptly. I don’t believe we got our kind servers name, but the beautiful young lady was on it as well. The chefs/kitchen were on par as well, hubby had one of the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuit and gravy, I had the Ranchers beef salad, one of the best beef and blue cheese salads I’ve EVER had, and believe me, I’ve had a “few” 😋🤫😊 Hubs also loved the huge coffee mugs his coffee and my Kahluah/hot chocolate(yum on this damp chilly day)were served in…this where my only complaint would be, my mug was chipped along the rim 😅 All that said, it was just a fantastic way to start our Sunday. Looking forward to sharing this spot with some more loved ones 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“Went there yesterday for my birthday. First time visiting this place. Found them on instgram. They definitely are living up to the grams hype. Very elevated dishes. Asethically pleasing to the eye!! And even though the dishes were smaller than im used to, it was delicious. We had asparagus, pork schnitzel, icebox cake and more. Our server Damien made sure we had the best time . What I really love is the fact there menu changes every 6 weeks. Go check em out.“

“Definitely a nice place to enjoy your evening! They have ALL the liquor, a nice environment, good food, + hoohaks… One stop shop‼️“

“went there Saturday and was upstairs at the bar i think it was close to 6. well anyhow the bartender was awesome! food was really awesome. I think i had the st louis burger. I was telling people that was a 2 hand burger! was really full after eating that. even though u were real busy food was great and people were friendly!“

“Haven't been back to St. Louis for awhile and knew we needed to go to The Crossing for dinner. Jim Fiala and his team hits it out of the park in every way. 3 courses paired with wine and each spot on. Last time there we brought our own wine as it was a special bottle. No problem as long as it wasn't on their list and the wine cellar is extensive. If you want an extraordinary dining experience please go.“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“10/10 highly recommend The food, customer service was great! Enjoyed every moment“

“It was such a great time! Food excellent, wine even better and the atmosphere was so awesome. Low lighting just a great vibe“

“The food and drinks were amazing! Great service and an overall great dining experience. Best sazerac I’ve had in a long time and the salmon was delicious!“

“Good food. Reasonable prices. I've been battling cancer for a couple of years now, and these folks are keeping me eating! Thank you, thank you, thank you ! ❤️“

“Had this on the want to go list for some time. Finally made it.
Neat little restaurant that’s a bit of a hidden gem.
Small location. Quiet with a great seasonal menu. Wait staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu.
We ordered wine and entrees. The serving size was appropriate and not too much.
We asked for a special dessert. The waitress worked with the kitchen to accommodate our request. It was wonderful. (See pics for ice cream. Caramel and scotch)
Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Best dinner we’ve had in a long time. The “trio” appetizer was awesome, salads were great and our main courses were incredible. Will definitely come back again!“

“We ordered five meals. All of them were superb. The staff was warm friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was pleasant.“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“We came here with our Boston fan group to watch the Celtics for their title clinching game and had a great experience. The staff was super accommodating and the food was great. We look forward to mixing Ice & Fuel into our game watch rotation in the future!“

“Your gluten free menu is the best we have had at a restaurant in the metro area. Can’t wait for you guys to come to Saint Charles county.“

“Very customer oriented..it’s always good never disappoints“

“Restaurant never fails to meet expectations. We were seated promptly upon arrival in the "dining room" It was nice as the noise level is less than the main restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday and they delivered. Had many shared plates all good. Nice wine to accompany food. Billy our server was spot on.“

“Love the atmosphere and best bartender D!“

“The Avenue came highly recommended and lived up to its reputation. I joined my siblings for lunch here. The staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was expansive and delicious. I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“

“UPDATE:
I spoke with Glen today and he made it right. He showed he genuinely cares about his customers. For that, I thank him and will be trying Flower Child again, and see how that goes.

Original Review:
I have ordered from here and went in person numerous times over the past year. In the last 3 months, it has really gone downhill. The last 2 times I went in person, the sweet potato fries were not able to be given to us because they said there was a 30 minute delay. They gave us macaroni instead which was nice, and promised a refund that I never received. Then, the last 3 doordashes the fries were hard, burnt, and inedible. It's a shame because I pay good money to eat healthier options at lunch, especially with my gallbladder being removed, so I can not worry about flare ups and feel confident that I can continue my work day, by eating healthier options, and not getting sick. This used to be my favorite place but I'm disheartened now. 😔 I wish it would let me upload the pics.“

“Excellent quality of food. Great service and nice ambiance.“

“I drove down to the Boind’ry last night ( June 10, 2022 ) for drinks and dinner and a great time because it’s not only an after work businessman v bar but a mix of wealthy and not so wealthy clientele and sadly it was closed with 4 or 5 guys sitting in the bar talking who I am assuming we’re the owners.Come on guys do NOT shut Boundry down forever because I can tell you better that anyone what made your restaurant / bar the “it spot” for so many years and standing room only most nights in the bar….it was the super cool bartenders like Bruce doing magic tricks and all the other cool bartenders and attractive wait staff that poured great drinks and bartenders were all very entertaining!A bartender can either make or break a bar environment!Any problems of lost customers can be directly attributed to losing colorful charismatic bartenders so hire some great bartenders and open again and word will spread like wildfire and the line of crowds will be down the block again waiting to get in!Some restaurants have free hors d’oeuvres or shrimp or taco bar but none of that matters! What does matter is your bartenders!Years ago at TGI Friday on Ellison Place they had the best bartenders in town doing juggling tricks with bottles the bartenders nickname was Psycho! LolWonderful memories … same for Boundry!So stop obsessing over the menu and get the best bartenders and friendliest and funny and attractive bartenders possible and the Biundry will be the now “it spot” again for another 20 years!“

“Valley Park MO location was very accommodating to a party of almost 30 outside. We were in the covered patio area, perfect for a small youth sports group. Waitresses were organized, food was fast and delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Enjoyed a fun lunch celebrating my wife’s 70th birthday!!! We hadn’t been here for 52 years. RGHS prom !!!“

“A great well established American sports Grill and Bar. Food is very good and generous portions! The onion rings are a “must” try! The pork tenderloin sandwich is another one of my favorites. Service was excellent. Established in 1991 I believe, it has carved its place into the Oakville community.“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“The food is always good, Ice cold drinks n love going to listen to the live music!!! They always have awesome live 🎶 Every where you look there’s Fun entertainment for everyone 🤩 Never disappointed!!!“

“My family and I came from out of town to take the kids to the zoo and found this place looking online for something we didn’t have back home and this was a fantastic experience very friendly people all around! Kids menu was perfect and all our food was brought to us amazing!! Hot fresh and just simply so good!!! If we get to come back and visit I would definitely come to eat here again!!!“

“Wife and I decided to hit the easy button after walking nine holes and grab lunch at Ruthie’s. Had been years since I’d eaten there, and certainly delivered! Sat on the patio overlooking the 9th hole, and bartender came to take our drink and food orders. Had the 2nd Shift Brooligan, which was a great IPA. We split a toasted ravioli app and the Crush Burger. Ravs we’re good, burger was absolute fire. Fries were hot and crispy, the way they should be!

Vegetarian options: They have a Black bean burger for the veggie in your life.“

“This place was terrific!! We ate here yesterday and the food was wonderful. Friendly staff and even though there was a sign asking patrons to be patient with any delays due to limited staffing, it did not impact any aspect of our visit. I would strongly recommend giving this place your business and support locally owned establishments.“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“The GF, Veg, and Vgn options are slim but not non-existent, there are a few mocktail options, and a few GF beers. Around 5 dessert options, nothing GF. Their sandwich and cocktail options are imaginative and unusual. Overall a very pleasant experience, the atmosphere is very good. The waitress Heather was VERY good at her job. She checked in with me just often enough, indulged my many questions, and was extremely kind. Heather if you read this, you are fantastic and you should be very proud of yourself, and of how you represent your company.“

“All the waitstaff, even the hosts and dishwashers, do a great job under pressure, in odd weather conditions where they led us to evacuate, suggesting menu orders, and keeping the place clean, harmonious, and hospitable. The chefs could do a lot better in pricing the menu, adding seasoning and larger portions, as well as not removing the popular dishes from the menu. The interior design is also eerie because the huge butterfly graphics do not suit the vibe but again the service here is unmatched.“

“Very good food, best food I have ever tasted , very nice staff, very friendly, and the atmosphere is very nice. If you are ever looking for somewhere to eat in the airport come here!

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to kids , the staff are interactive, the staff is funny , and very caring/ nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy walkway to get into the restaurant. No stairs just a path way that's easy to ride get through.“

“When you get stuck in an area that you have never been and know nothing or anyone. The staff at this restaurant went over and above for us, especially Michelle and one other server, I am sorry that I couldn’t see his name tag and I didn’t want to be rude. They were both super friendly and helpful and this place should be glad that they have such wonderful staff to help people out. I will definitely be back and will be glad to return to this hotel and restaurant. Thank you all for being so helpful and kind.“

“The food and service were great!“

“Visited St. Louis and stayed at the Hilton. We had breakfast at The Provinces restaurant and breakfast was delicious ordered the create your own omelette mushroom, green onion and Swiss $15 -- very good. Derek was our server and he was excellent. Ambience was nice and welcoming.“

“Friendly staff and excellent menu selection! I eat here OFTEN!“

“Upside: Indoor/ Outdoor seating, great selection of brews, food was good, can buy their products and T-shirt stuff by checkout. Staff friendly and service was prompt. Large parking area can accommodate vehicles with trailers.
Downside: No boneless wings.
Comments: Prices moderate. 3 lunches, 2 beers and a soda $90. Would recommend going here and will go again.“

“I forgot to take a picture of the stuffed mushrooms I got for our group, which everyone loved! I had the dry rub wings for my dinner and had to bring half home. The wings were delicious, I think they added cinnamon to the rub. I highly recommend them!“

“Food was great . I had special requests and my server Brandi was awesome! I’ll make sure to sit in her section again!“

“Sasha’s on DeMun delivers exactly what a neighborhood wine bar should: confident food, a thoughtful beverage list, and an easygoing patio vibe. The standout at my visit was the French dip—served on a crisp, well-toasted baguette with generously seasoned, tender roast beef. The au jus had real depth (beefy, not overly salty) and elevated every bite. Portion size was satisfying without being heavy, and the plating was tidy.

Service was attentive and professional—waters stayed full, pacing was relaxed, and the staff knew the menu. The patio is comfortable for a leisurely lunch, and the marble-topped tables add a touch of polish. If there’s a quibble, it’s that the sandwich could use a small side (greens or fries) to round out the plate, but the quality of the main more than compensates.

Overall, a reliable, classy spot for a casual meal or a glass of wine with elevated café fare. I’d happily return—especially for that French dip.“

“I think Fandangos has Amazing wings. Good prices and a variety of flavors.“
