“The time i sit down, order, have a drink of coffee, my food is there, quick and fast and very delicious. My server name is Mary, exceptional waitress, friendly, funny, good person.“

“The service was excellent; the waitress made my special birthday with my family!! The food was amazing I will be returning and recommending this elegant restaurant to everyone I know and I hope their experience is just as amazing as ours. Thanks again for making this a special occasion to celebrate the great food and hospitality at this amazing restaurant.“

“So, my wife and I just about ruined the weekend on our way to Nordstrom trying to decide on a place to eat. We arrived at the store still undecided and noticed the Cafe Bistro. We checked out the menu and wandered in. Great food! I had the crab macaroni & cheese - nice sized portion and some real crab chunks, not mush out of a can. It came with an arugula salad on the side. Equally delish. My wife had half of an warm Asian glazed chicken salad - I couldn't imagine the size of a full!! The quality of the food was top notch and the price was reasonable. I don't come to this store often, but I'll find an excuse to come next time!!“

“The chicken sandwich & tots were great but the cheese steak burrito was 90% rice. they forgot the meat, cheese & seasoning.“

“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 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“Easily one of the top restaurants to try in STL. The dishes were well executed and the service timed everything perfectly. I would love to see the chef have a bit more creative license and split a some more from the upscale American tradition. Also... may need some more acoustic treatment for the space. But overall, it was a fun experience.“

“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ“

“The Crossing Restaurant did a remarkable job the other evening when we dined there. We had impeccable service and outstanding food. I loved being able to do the four course meal with some of the specials. It was wonderful to see the dining room full in this well-established restaurant in the heart of Clayton. I remember being wowwed when I first dined at The Crossing 25 years ago and it is still just as fabulous! We cannot wait to return.“

“Cellar House is an Oakville treasure. The brunch is fantastic, the burgers are delicious, the power bowls somehow make eating healthy actually enjoyable, and the Brussels sprouts are so good they have no business being Brussels sprouts.

The drinks are always perfect, which obviously matters. 😂

But can we talk about the bathrooms? They have an entire selection of different hand soaps and lotions. I go in to wash my hands and suddenly I’m at Bath & Body Works doing product testing. Do I need to try three different soaps? No. Do I? Absolutely.

Amazing food, perfect drinks, fancy bathroom amenities… honestly, Cellar House has thought of everything. One of our favorite spots in Oakville!“

“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!“

“Great family business for burgers, sandwiches and wings with friendly service. Come watch the game!
Cajun chicken is tasty, but a little skinny; more of a peppers and onion sandwich. Maybe stick with the burgers or the meatball sandwich special.“

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

“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!“

“An FYI for St Louis area friends. We had brunch at Eclipse (Moonrise Hotel) and the food prep was excellent! It's a shame that we were the first people they had today; they opened at 9am and we arrived at noon. 😬 Give them a try!“

“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.“

“This is such a great place to hang out with friends. Great food and friendly service. We always enjoy karaoke on Friday nights with Beth the KJ. Love that it’s non smoking!“

“Adrian was an incredible server, honestly treated us like family. I’ll be asking to be seated in his section when we return. Food was really good. I suggest the Tues night special, steak dinner!“

“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.“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“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.“

“We went for my nephews 30th birthday party which was held in their downstairs private room. We had a full bar and bartender and a buffet set up. The room was very comfortable, clean and well maintained. The tables and chairs were covered with cloth coverings. The restrooms were also clean with multiple stalls in the ladies room and the mens room. I would recommend the space for partys, showers, reunions, etc. Food was fresh, hot and tasted great too!“

“Large building, plenty of seating for big groups as well as out door.seatimg. nice place
Good beer selection and they were all enjoyable.
Had the fried cauliflower and those were excellent, reminds me of orange chicken.
The other food was fair. Had the tacos, 1 pork 1 chicken. Meat was on the dry side. Wife had pub smash, dry and bland. We were with a group and others liked what the ate, fried fish, beef tacos.
Our server was great. Attentive, good at her job, and was able to jokd around with us. Great job LuLu K!
Would.go back for a beer and may give the food another chance.“

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

“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!!!“

“Love for eating and smarter cigars“

“Every month my husband and I meet two other couples for a weekday breakfast. We like to try a different restaurant each time. This month, we went to The Village Cafe of Lake Saint Louis. The food and service were amazing!! The breakfast menu was very extensive including “make your own omelets and skillets”. I love a good steak skillet with mushrooms, onions, American fries and cheddar cheese, and this make your own creation at the Cafe was one of the best I have ever had! My husband had a make your own omelet, customized the way he likes it!! The other couples also liked the meals they ordered, and the portions were quite large, so boxes were needed. Prices are reasonable as well!! I think I found my new favorite breakfast restaurant!! 5 stars!!“

“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.“

“The food and service were great!“

“I come here pretty often and always have such a good experience! Jeff and Neveah are always so helpful, give great service, and have the best recommendations when I’m not sure what to get. The drinks are amazing, the ambience is so nice, and it’s just a really chill place to hang out. Definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“We had an amazing time at Joey’s today, mostly thanks to our bartender Abigail! She was so kind and patient with us which is greatly appreciated, especially considering she’s in the heat all day. Lovely lady, literally will ALWAYS choose the patio if she’s out there.“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“Very nice lunch experience. Half salads were huge for being half a salad. Spouse had the mediterranean salad with balsamic and I had the Charlotte (walnuts, blue cheese with fresh fruit and a delicious raspberry vinaigrette). Absolutely delicious. Reuben sandwich that we split was tasty and substantial. Derek did a great job at lunch. We would return based on his service and our food.“

“Herbie’s had a nice atmosphere and made for a relaxed lunch spot. I tried the coconut shrimp, and while the flavor was good, the portion felt like it could have used a little more to make it feel complete for the price. A small side like rice would have paired nicely with it. Overall, it was a comfortable place for lunch, and I can see it being a good fit for someone looking for a chill spot with a more upscale menu.“

“I have been here countless times and they've never been open. Today, for a change, they were open and I was waiting here for an hour for a colleague on a delayed flight.

It's a simple bar and they do have a kitchen. We had a round of beers. Expensive beers. I don't quite understand how a tin of local beer is this costly. I could understand it if the place was on the other side of security, but Missouri Vineyards is groundside next to the ticket counters.

Oh, and they only accept credit cards for payment. The bartender who served us was nice. She does accept cash for tips.“
