“Caught happy hour at the bar last evening. great time, better food and the best service. Brad and his mom (Katie) were a lot of fun and of course, did a great job.“

“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.“

“First off, Sabrina our server was absolutely amazing, delightful and she was upbeat and did a great job. She even had a cocktail made for my father. I had two smoked old fashioneds, we enjoyed the bang bang shrimp, Imperial dip, our main courses and even desserts Dad had the Bourbon brownie and I enjoyed my Drunken coconut pie. Sabrina was super sweet, energetic and she went over the top, not just for us but for multiple tables. She is an absolute blessing to have as our waitress. Sabrina God bless you for the best service and truly loved you! Thank you for a great experience“

“Had a sign saying they were short staffed and service may take longer than usual. I experienced no lapse in prompt service. Everything was hot and tasty. The only thing I can say negatively is one of the crab lumps was black. Literally black. It should be red. It just looked spoiled. It was only one cluster. Maybe take a minute or two for quality control would be beneficial. All in all this is where I take my daughter for her birthdays at her request. All I can say is when you turn out the crab on the plate, just take a look and if something looks off just throw a different cluster especially for a $150+ meal.“

“Best blackened shrimp I've ever had!! The couples dinner was just $88 and came with 2 deserts on top of everything! Amazing!“

“Remarkable Defined: “Something so striking it makes you want to discuss or remark upon it.” This is Wright’s Tavern’s undercurrent. You feel the need - the obligation even - to touch on every aspect, each component, of this memorable dining experience.

We started with cocktails - sazerac was the crowd pleaser, and conversation starter for the evening. Tried to order one of these in Australia once...

For starters we took advantage of the scallop special and the crab cake - a menu mainstay. What is great about the special is they allow you to scale. Need another scallop? Two? No problem. Both superb and table was split as to which was the better. I leaned to the crabcake, as the scallop, while beautifully crusted, was just cooked enough to require a knife while I would have liked it fork-tender.

For the entrees we ordered the 20oz ribeye but substituted the offered side (mashed) for the dauphinoise potatoes. Astounding. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the dauphinoise may well haunt my dreams. As a steak purist, I was skeptical of their use of sauces and gravies but the mustard jus served with the ribeye is expertly paired. It needs to be noted they consider all the sides that come with their steaks interchangeable, and substitutes are welcomed and all sauces can be served on the side as well. Other entrees were the potato crusted halibut and the steak frites. Both beautifully presented and very enjoyable.

For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée, the latter was silkier and smoother than what you may find elsewhere while the former was determined by all at the table to be their favorite. Recommend both without hesitation. 5/5

The service IS truly remarkable and I think what separates this venture from its peers. Professional, staid, but in an approachable fluid manner that effortlessly flows throughout the room while being omniscient without omnipresence. It is, however, ever obvious they hope to not have you linger, as after 2 hours our check was presented without request. I didn’t love that, but understand the logistical need. 5/5

Lastly, as noted by others the space is constricted. My neighbor behind me and I had a mini jousting match with our chairs. Even the short walk to your table over uneven floor should be done gingerly as you make your way to your smallish chair. 3/5“

“Best Birthday Atmosphere 🎂“

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.“

“Whatever you do, sit at the bar with Candace. A true professional and just an amazing person to be around! Renaissance STL, I hope you see this! Candace is amazing and hearing/seeing how she interacts with regulars and newcomers is incredible!“

“10/10 food and service! Such a cozy environment and the staff from the start to finish was all very nice! The food was AMAZING. 🤩“

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

“Stopped in after 2hr flight. The ambiance was very nice. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with house chips, sandwich was 4star the house made chips were more like kettle cooked chips they were overcooked nearly to a crisp, I advised the waitress who had them replaced with fries that were much better. I’d suggest changing the cooking oil more frequently.“

“Most expensive dinner I have ever splurged for but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! It really felt special. All of it. We really loved our server too , Martin (Marteen). Just wish we had not waited so long to go!“

“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.“

“Top-notch service! They were able to accommodate us on a busy Saturday night, and the food was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Italian spot in South County.“

“We went to Trattorias yesterday and the waitress and her staff helping her were just incredibly amazing! Leslie our waitress was phenomenal!! She told us about the specials and made them sound delicious and well worth our minimal wait - I would highly recommend you go here for all your special occasions!! The food was served hot and fresh!! We felt so glad we chose Trattorias for our special Valentine's evening. The restaurant and everything was very clean and the environment was very beautiful!! Many Thanks to the owners and staff!! A special Thank to the Chef and his work of art with the tasty Valentine's dinner!!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“This is a mixed review. First the positives. The waiter Rob was superb. Pleasant personality and attentive but not intrusive. The busboy (I didn’t get his name) was also very professional, nice and efficient. There were six of us in the party and four in the party were happy with their meal.

Now for the shortcomings. I had the tenderloin medallions Oscar. I have honestly never had a tougher cut of meat. It was definitely overcooked. In fact, I asked my wife to try a small piece and she was shocked at how hard it was to chew with it being a tenderloin. The side dish of lyonnaise potatoes were dry and had no seasoning.

My wife had the Queen Cut Prime rib and it, likewise, was not tender in the least. I had a small cut and felt the same way. She did like the side dish of twice baked potatoes, and she really liked the key lime pie.

So, in summary, four of the six were happy. Just two of us weren’t. For the price of the tenderloin medallions and the prime rib entrees, I think the expectation of “tender” is a given with these two entrees. Sadly, the reality did not meet our expectation.

Not a disastrous night by any means, but not a superb one either.

Wishing Kreis Steakhouse only the best going forward.“

“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.“

“Hi, this morning, I had breakfast at Wakey Wakey. My eggs, waffle, and candied bacon were very good. My friend's citrus yogurt with granola and fruit was fantastic. I didn't even like yogurt, but I do now. My friend shared hers with me. It was fantastic. The only thing better was our waiter, Adam. He did a wonderful job. He answered a zillion questions and brought the food in a timely fashion. I can't tell you how nice he made our Monday morning. We'll be back.“

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

“Ill start off with the service, it wasn't good our server was just okay for the most part but when they brought out the food one server had know idea which plates go to which guest she literally asked us where is position 6 which we had no idea obviously, and one steak was not done right and it took a half an hour for it to come back out, plates or not taking off the table after we got done eating and sat there for a while, it was very loud in the restaurant as well, but im willing to give the establishment another chance everyone has a bad day at times.“

“Great food and nice service“

“We go to Yellowstone Cafe every time we are passing through St. Louis. The Walleye fish dinner is their speciality but all their fish dinners are excellent. In our party our order consisted of Crabcakes, Frog legs, and of course the Walleye.
Three nights a week they offer a kids special platter for 99 cents! What a bonus for parents. Their French fries are very good! The Green Goddess dressing is excellent on their house salad.
The atmosphere is casual, so come as you are.“

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

“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!!“

“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⭐️“

“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 Easter Brunch was great!“

“Hands down the best Mexican food in stl!“

“Will is the best server ever!“

“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.“

“I visited the Ferguson location today w a friend who will be moving away from STL shortly. We were both first time visitors. Cathy was cooking and the food was amazing. My friend had the Friday Special (catfish, shrimp, and wings) while I chose the Thursday special of wings and shrimp. Both dishes were perfectly executed, tasty, and not at all oily. 10/10. Please support this small business.“

“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!“

“This review is for the bakery ONLY. Everytime we go to St. Louis, we stop here (We live at the Lake of the Ozarks). The mini custard pies are amazing, try the fried, sesame seed balls which are filled with two different kinds of bean custard, both are delicious.
The yeast buns are stuffed with a variety of sweets and cheeses and are killer. On the right side of the shop as you enter, there are usually a few versions of the Dim Sum they serve next door in the restaurant and they are all DELICIOUS!

I've purchased the Duck & the deep fried pork hanging in the window, several times & it's been legit. We buy half a duck because there's only 3 of us, but plenty. I always order a small order of their rice so we can eat our duck at the hotel.
It can be VERY crowded on the weekends, so come as soon as they open. There's usually only the one lady working the register and dude chopping up the duck & pork, but they're fast. A++++ It's not cheap but it's soooo worth it.“

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

“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.“

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

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The green chile pork is amazing. Meat it's fall apart tender and the flavor is full and robust. We also had the steak milenesa. It had a great crust and fork tender with great flavor. NOTHING was bad. Service matches the flavor. Food came fast, and the waitress made our dinner a great experience.

You can't go wrong here!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“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.“
