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

“Ate the buffet with a group of friends 11/19/25. Food was fresh and well prepared. Several in the group who had Indian food elsewhere in the past, said India Palace was better than what they had previously. Reasonably priced and would definitely return.“

“Great dining experience. Attentive and engaging wait staff. From the opening cocktails to the meal finish, all selections were uniquely and well prepared. Created one of those memorable meals that will be discussed many times in the future.“

“Exquisite and surprising flavors! Kind accommodating staff. I'm so glad we took a chance. Worth every penny. They have a lot to be proud of.“

“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“

“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.“

“went here with the family. can't go wrong here. the service a food is awesome. beats most other seafood places in St Louis area. 9.5 out of 10“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of eating dinner on Christmas Eve. I had the scallops and linguine; he had a steak. Our meals were delicious! Highly recommend this little gem along one of the prettiest streets in the USA.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We ate here earlier today and it was so good! The wings were fried but not at all greasy. The gyro was so big my student could barely pick it up. Everything was very fresh. This place is a hidden gem for sure!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.“

“Great food and good 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.“

“As we hear story after story of COVID outbreaks happening in beef and chicken slaughterhouses, might I recommend trying this outstanding commercial seafood supplier who ships right to your door? They could use the business while restaurants finish getting back on their feet.“

“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.“

“Will is the best server ever!“

“If you want something flavorful and wonderful, you need to hit up this establishment. The staff is fun and friendly and the food is BOMB! It's different and familiar in the best of ways. The seasoning is spectacular. This food is truly made with love and it shows. We are lucky The Crooked Boot in our area. Keep up the great work!!“

“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!!“

“My Shrimp 3 Way was really good. Sat at the bar due to long wait for dining room seating. Bartenders were great!“

“Highly recommended. The food is amazing.“

“Hands down the best Mexican food in stl!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Mad Crab is the Best. The fist time I came here was for my 41st birthday my dinner party was huge. I had a ball this is my Favorite restaurant now . I love the crab legs & shrimp boil with the shabang /triple threat sauce medium. It was seasoned to perfection.“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and nice service“

“Great first experience! My family and I plan to return. Delicious food and margaritas, friendly staff, check it out!“
