49 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kirkwood

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.“

“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.“

“After visiting the Fox Theater on Saturday we had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and our server Wendy was absolutely delightful. Our drinks, appetizers, dinner(fresh pasta) and desserts did not disappoint. The manager stopped by twice to check on us. Incredible! We wanted to bring Wendy home with us but we had to have her back by Wednesday! We can’t wait to return!!!! 10🌟“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“Good food, good customer service“

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

“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.“

“This place is AMAZING!!! It gives you a New York or LA vibe. Service was ON POINT explain the menu and made sure everyone had drinks. People will not leave this restaurant hungry that's for sure. Oh and BTW I was here for a very special birthday celebration.“

“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!“

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!!

“It has been 3 years since we last visited Kreis' and we were not dissapointed! Same great food, service and atmosphere. Our waiter, Mike was outstanding as were all others. We enjoyed the Prime Riib and NY Strip - both were excellent! Highly recommend!“

“Great food and nice service“

“outstanding! wife and i had special of Shrimp Etouffee and Fried Catfish. not overly spicy, full of flavor, worth the drive and Ted Drews just a few blocks west on Chippewa. ENJOY“

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.“

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

“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.“

“Most come to the Hill for Italian at the usual places, Zia's, Dominic's and Charlie Gitto's. Most will pass this gem up due to it being in the Drury Plaza hotel, you SHOULDN'T DO THAT. The food is made fresh to order and it clearly shows! The decor is very upscale and perfect for a business lunch or dinner and at $30 per person, a good deal. If you add wine the price will go up but would still be worthwhile due to the quality in evidence.“

“New to the area, second time we have dined at the Yellowstone, and both times were exceptional. Food on point but the service was the star. We were taken care of by Nick, relatively new to the team, but took care of us like a pro. Attentive, provided great suggestions, and ensured we never saw the bottom of our glasses. We have found our neighborhood restaurant!! Thank you Nick and thank you Yellowstone.“

“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!“

“Great food and margaritas“

“Highly recommended. The food is amazing.“

“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.“

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

“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 staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“Really enjoy the quiet professional environment and atmosphere. We can have conversations and the food is excellent. However the prices are extremely expensive!!.. Unfortunately with everything else in life getting ridiculously expensive we can’t visit surf and sirloin as often.“

“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!“
