“Too many superlatives tend to make a review sound insincere, but Black Mountain truly deserves the highest marks in all regards. Wine & Food, service, atmosphere are all outstanding at this hidden gem in St. Louis. First, as a wine bar this place excels. The owner seems to have a particular gift for finding unique, superior quality, yet affordable wines. Everything I’ve tried here has been not only excellent but also a fantastic value. A bonus is the often changing selection, providing return customers with a fresh palette of offerings. Second, the service is unparalleled. The staff know their wine, know their offerings, and can happily point you to something fitting to your tastes. They’re happy to provide a sample to make sure you’re happy. Besides being knowledgeable and helpful, the staff is professional, yet charming and engaging. Third, the atmosphere is comforting. In colder months the wood burning stove lends a charm that can be found no where else in St. Louis. The bar is a great place to meet new friends or catch up with old ones, while the side room with couches and table, and the small wine shop attached, are nice spots to gain a little quiet privacy. If that’s not enough, the outside garden in the back is great outside option. Fourth, the food. So it’s a wine bar primarily. Or is it? The food here seems almost an afterthought but is so good. Everything I’ve tasted here (Goat Cheese Tart, Poutine, Crostini, BLAT, Meatballs) have been as good as anything you can find anywhere in the city. The pasta special rivals anything you can find on The Hill. The food should not be overlooked. Come for the wine, or the service, or the atmosphere, but stay for the food.”
