50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Des Peres

“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!!!“

“Highly recommended. The food is amazing.“

“The place was amazing. Great food and wonderful service provided by Tom. It had ambiance, something missing in many places. This had the charm and finesse that is often missed in the new LOUD places. This place was packed but still quiet and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Not cheap but well worth the money.“

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

“Yesterday was our first time there. Food was really good, will definitely be back.“

“I’ve come here for dinner several times. It’s great for a date night with my husband or for birthday dinner with the family. I’ve truly enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“Had my birthday dinner at Krab Kingz and had a great time! The food was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. Staff recommended the Cajun butter with garlic parmesan which was a big hit with the group. I only wish I had ordered more of the hush puppies because they disappeared quickly 😅 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“Amazing late lunch❣️ Nice Decor👍🏽 Shaved brussel sprout salad with salmon was Fabulously Delicious! Blueberry Lemon Martini was perfect😋 Thank you Kyle for great service with a smile🙂“

“Our Thanksgiving meal was amazing and truly exceeded expectations in terms of food quality. Regrettably, the service was dismal and ruined the overall experience. We saw our waiter only two times. We were never offered rolls, and I literally had to chase down a staff member just to get two. To make matters worse, our waiter brought the bill and bid us farewell, despite us not being finished and still waiting for our dessert. Also, the bathrooms were in terrible shape.“

“Delicious Mexican food 🇲🇽specially tacos 🌮🥰🥳🌮🇲🇽“

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.“

“Love gulf shores! Went tonight to the St. Peter’s location and had a yummy dinner. The host was a young man and did a great job and our waitress was lovely and on top of it! Two elderly women came in a the younger of the two was extremely rude and entitled to the host (the young man). Rudely demanding a different table each time he tried to seat them. I just wanted to point out how well he handled it and that he stayed professional and kept a smile on his face the whole time. He deserves kudos. I told her on the way out to tone down her entitlement and not to be so rude to staff and she spiraled. Not shocking. I’m not a fan of treating those in the service industry rudely. Again he handled it very well. Good job to him!“

“Husband and I first time eating here for lunch. We were served super yummy garlic butter bread right away. I ordered sweet tea - I am always hesitant about this when I visit a restaurant for the first time because I am a complete tea snob but it was perfect amount of sweet and most importantly home brewed! We had the seafood broil meant for 2 people - called Big Bend boil I think. Absolutely out of this world delicious Cajun flavor. We picked the “very hot” option because we have a high tolerance and it definitely had a kick! We will probably go hotter next time but that probably wouldn’t be for everyone, we are heat freaks. Lastly our waiter was wonderful, right amount of tentative and friendly. Wish I got his name. We will be back!“

“Best Birthday Atmosphere 🎂“

“Excellent food and service! Justin and Chris provided excellent service. The staff at the hostess desk were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Very thankful for wonderful gluten-free options“

“I've lived in St. Louis for a little over 20 years and I've heard about the Capital Grill but never visited before. I decided for my birthday this year, we'd try it. I even offered to split the cost with my wife since I had heard it was expensive. Well, it was expensive, but sometimes you absolutely get what you pay for - I was blown away. We started with a giant piece of bacon as an appetizer (Nueske's Cherrywood Smoked Bacon with Korean BBQ). It was about 1/2 in thick cut into bite sized chunks and it was delicious! We moved on to soup, my wife had the french onion soup with was covered with a thick layer of cheese, I had the lobster bisque, and my daughter had the butternut squash bisque - all three were good. The lobster in my bisque was tender and flavorful. I had the 14oz KC strip, my daughter had the 10oz filet, and my wife had the roasted chicken breast. My daughter's filet was easily 12oz and it was cooked perfectly, my KC strip was cooked perfectly and very flavorful, and my wife's chicken was huge (and delicious since I ate her leftovers the next day for lunch). We ordered creamed spinach and parmesan truffle fries for the table. The sides were good but not as good as the other items. Next time (and we will be back) we will probably go with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. We split the cream brulee and the flourless chocolate espresso cake for desert and because it was my birthday they brought me a sample of the cheesecake and coconut cream pie on a plate with Happy Birthday written out in icing. I'll definitely get the cream brulee again, it was perfect and my wife and daughter loved the cake. Sometimes you just gotta splurge and when you get that urge - try the Capital Grill, you won't regret it. (And by the way, my wife ended up picking up the check - so maybe it was that expensive.)“

“We totally enjoyed our experience! Our server Alfie was great! Jacob his assistant was just as great! The food came out so quickly. We had appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Filets both cooked perfectly. Espresso martini hit the spot. The old fashioned had so much flavor. Will be back again. Also gave us complimentary champagne because we mentioned celebrating our anniversary! How sweet!“

“Great food and very reasonable prices I ate for 2 days so it was well worth it.Very delicious I was curious at first but gave it a try and it’s great. Will be back“

“I got lucky and nabbed a last minute reservation for my birthday. This is truly my favorite restaurant! The food as always was exceptional. The only thing that was lacking was our waitress seemed a little put off being there. She was timely and attentive, but really not very friendly. This has not been the case on any other visit to your restaurant.“

“Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. Great service. Great happy hour menu! Great little local gem. Everyone is so kind. Shannon was great!“

“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.“

“We have always enjoyed our dining experience at Roberto’s. The food is great, service is great and the atmosphere is great. HOWEVER, they need to improve in two areas. Every time I have asked for a little horseradish. They don’t have any. So next time, I’ll bring my own. The other is the amount of sour crème provided with your huge potato is inadequate. I asked for a little more and they charged me an additional fifty cents! I can’t believe that I’m paying $240 for a meal and they want to ding me fifty cents for a dollop of sour crème. How petty.“

“We arrived a little early and were promptly seated. Kurt, our waiter, immediately greeted us and took care of our needs. The food was excellent. Kurt and the rest of the wait staff were very attentive to our needs. With everyone's attention to detail it is easy to see why Kreis' has been the place for fine dining for 77 years.“

“We had a table reserved and arrived a few minutes early. The place was packed but they immediately seated us and were very attentive. We were quickly waited on, drinks showed up, order taken and food was on our table very timely. Friendly staff, excellent food and great prices. We could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend!“

“Shout out to Ahmad and the whole team at Hook Fish & Chicken (Penn Hills) for the delicious and generous portions of fish, wings and fries for our family reunion Meet & Greet Reception!! They helped me ensure we had enough food for everyone, the order was hot, ready on time, accurate and the relatives are still talking about how good it was. Paired with the rest of our menu, this made for a hearty meal for all ages. Thank you so much for helping make our family gathering a success.“

“Yummy food and great service!“

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

“All I can say is the food is bomb 💣 and she’s super fast and nice!“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“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.“

“The food and drinks are always delicious! Josh the bar waiter is always friendly and the atmosphere is so calming!“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“Best fish and chips to enjoy when they are here. Perfect location as it is close to home and I get my meals on my way home from work. Staff is so friendly. Wish if they took pre-orders the lines are usually so long and sometimes not easy to wait when the temperatures are not the perfect conditions. Can we get a little more fries? On Thursday I did not get the malt and vinegar I asked for maybe they forgot in the busyness. I would definitely give their food 👍 4.5⭐️“

“This is where I always meet my grandson for lunch. We love the walleye platter. The breading is very light, and the portion is generous, allowing you to eat every bit of it. The sides are delicious, too. We love the atmosphere, service, prices, and portions. \nI've taken several friends there for lunch, and they are happy to meet me there again anytime. My grandson is an accomplished fisherman, and that makes our experience all the more enjoyable. We love the fish offerings, but the menu is extensive. We highly recommend and enjoy Yellowstone Cafe.“

“So glad we chose this place before our concert! Food was phenomenal but our server Matt and management were even better! We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they went above and beyond with free champagne and one of the best pieces of chocolate cake I’ve ever had! 5 starts, will definitely be back!“

“Great food and nice service“

“I got the steak bowl with rice, chicken spring rolls, and banana Boba. all of it was so good. the bowl was so flavorful. I will definitely have to come back soon!!“

“Blaire and Ava are the best bartenders I’ve ever witnessed. Wow, these unicorns.. 10 out of 5 stars!“

“My experience at CATHY’S Restaurant & Diner, was amazing. It was my sister and I first time eating there. We were welcomed by Mrs. Kathy herself, with that beautiful Smile, Charming personality, and Professionalism. Very clean restaurant, while our food was being prepared we were able to adore all the pictures of mrs. Cathy featured with so many celebrities all over the walls of the restaurant, along with other wall memorabilia’s The presentation of the Cajun Shrimp Pasta,and the Fish and Shrimp Combo both are must try dishes, and soooo delicious! From the first taste to the last bite left a lasting impression. I/we will definitely be back to try more of Mrs. CATHY’S amazing dishes and the Banana Pudding, and Strawberry Cakes. Sincerely, Mrs. Tina & Ciara ❤️“

“Great food and friendly staff. We tried the meatball sandwich on cheese bread and the Italian beef. Both were excellent. A generous portion of juicy meat and cheese on fresh bread. The potato salad and pasta salad were very flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“First time here and the service, food, cleanliness, pricing, location were all excellent! Celebrated a grandson's b'day and it was perfect! I love that they give you an option for spiciness (0-5) since I'm a 0 and opted for Orange Chicken. I'll be more adventuresome next time. LOL Great restaurant all the way around!“

“Will is the best server ever!“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. It has a wonderful Mongolian barbecue along with an incredible assortment of Asian foods. Their hot and sour soup is one of the best I’ve ever had. The sushi is very good and the service is always been polite and very attentive to clear plates. I have never been rushed as I enjoy talking endlessly to friends while eating here. The bathrooms are elegant and very clean however, I think the bathroom doors are very heavy. I believe that is why they are usually blocked open. They also have very quiet hand dryers. The lobby is also elegant , the doors are hard to open because there is a very strong air handling system that keeps fresh air circulated I enjoy bringing friends here For a relaxing meal and conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat.“

“Whole duck was delicious. First time visiting and will be back. Didn't have a chance to try anything else because it was the day of thanksgiving and the kitchen was closed to their other items and all I wanted was a whole duck anyway but will go back to try other items of the menu. Duck EXCELLENT!“

“Great fresh innovative food, wonderful friendly service. 95 out of 100. 5 points off because my food should have been hotter.“

“This is the office's favorite place to get Chinese!! Food is the best, and the service is even better!!“

“Would recommend it’s very good“

“The food and the service is very indicative of who Eric is, EXCELLENT!!! The food was hot and fresh!!! I've ordered for a group and I've ordered for me personally, and both were JUST as I ordered and expected!!!“

“We had the best meal tonight at Fork & Stix. The flavors and presentation of the dishes were excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing and warm. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful dining experience.“
