Vicia

I discovered the restaurant through a report I read about the chef being nominated for an award, which piqued my curiosity. It was an excellent surprise! The restaurant is beautiful, modern, cozy, and welcoming. The staff is kind and professional, and the menu, though compact, offers outstanding options. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious! The open kitchen is particularly fascinating. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience—congratulations to the entire team!

We loved our experience here. Cole was phenomenal—professional, polite, personable, and kind. He thoroughly explained the menu, was so lovely, and our service was timely & never wavered. Best of all, the food!!!! Our food and wines were the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend the focaccia with butter and the farmhouse chicken. I will absolutely be back and recommending to everyone I know.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in St. Louis so far. Everything was exceptional, from the warm yet professional service to the outstanding flavors and thoughtfully crafted drinks. We chose this place for our anniversary, and it exceeded every expectation. A definite must-visit restaurant in St. Louis.

Amazing. From the pathway lined by flowers to get in, which you later find out are all edible and you’ll spot in your food, to the glimpse of a bustling kitchen with staff lined up to run dishes to your table, to amazing food and great service, it was all around truly a unique culinary experience. We went for our anniversary, and sat out in the covered patio. We couldn’t have asked for a better server than Sam, who truly made the entire evening even better and ensured we had an extraordinary evening. The food… I will be thinking of these meals for a very long time and cannot wait to come back for more with the change of seasons. Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared and a pleasure to share and eat. Thank you.

If we lived in St Louis, we would be regulars here! It’s so good! We came to town for a concert and love farm to table restaurants so we got reservations here. When you walk in, you pass what initially looks like a slightly overgrown flowery landscaping. As you continue, you realize it’s food! Some peppers, some herbs, and more. Our main server (I can’t remember his name but he had a Harry Potter quote tattooed on his arm) said they grown their own food and what they don’t grow, they get from local farms.

The service from all staff was excellent. I love it when my table is wiped clean between courses, especially if the table gets a little crumby from the delish bread.

The “Let Us Feed You” was a tasting menu without calling it that. The description is a little misleading as it says “3 course, family style meal”. When I think family style, I envision a vat of food that each person has to scoop onto their plate (like Bucca de Peppo or Stroud's) so I would never have chosen that if the server didn’t explain it better. The first and second course had multiple dishes. It was more of a tapa style tasting menu. Absolutely fabulous! I am floored that it was only $80 a person for that much food. We love to go to different tasting menu options in Kansas City and I can tell you, none of them are only $80. We were stuffed when we were done (which isn’t always the case w tasting menus) so it was WELL WORTH IT! The food was so good. I’m still thinking about the lovely carrot and pesto starter. The crackers w sweet peppers was also memorable. Everything we ate was superb. I also appreciated the variety of non-alcoholic drink options. My wife liked the interesting vegetable twists on her cocktails, like a smoked celery martini and a sweet pepper old fashioned. Be advised, go with a foodie if you want to try the tasting menu because to order it, it requires your whole table to choose that option.

I want to give a shout out to the staff, to include Evan, Jenna, Amanda, and Kennedy! You guys made our date night very special, thank you. The atmosphere of this place makes you feel like you are in your own kitchen. It was so cool to see the chefs working as a team and they all had smiles on their faces. The garden area and patio are beautiful. My husband and I did, Let Us Cook For You and I got the elevated wine pairing. It was a total surprise and it did not disappoint. Each course is family style. The first course had four different appetizers and one was the focaccia bread with a middle eastern yogurt spread, which was delicious. The main/second course came with three meals The squash salad was light and the snapper was perfectly cooked. The dessert was a creme brûlée crepe and it was amazing. The Chef is very creative and puts a lot of heart into the dishes. We will be coming back with friends.

Vicia is a gorgeous experience. From the space, to the team, to the food, it was phenomenal. A friend had recommended it, and the Chef's menu. My group opted to just order as much as we could to share instead. Our faves were the crispy potato, the sashimi, the focaccia, and the Snapper. I mean, the Snapper. WOW. Also, if you're into it, the best dirty martini I've ever had.

We recently celebrated our oldest daughter's birthday with a group of four at this restaurant, and our experience was memorable in many ways. The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, with a comfortable sound level and exceptionally attentive staff. Our server, Kendi, made us feel truly valued throughout the evening. The cuisine offered a refreshing and unique twist, delighting us with its bold and delicious flavors. While we found the appetizers a bit modest in portion for the price, their quality and taste were outstanding. The cocktails were expertly crafted—strong and never watered down—which we truly appreciated, even if the price was slightly above average.

Although there were a couple of minor drawbacks—such as being served room temperature water without ice and discovering a 20% gratuity automatically added to our check for a party of four—these did not overshadow the positive aspects of our visit. I understand the need for policies, but I believe the restaurant could build even stronger customer loyalty by being more transparent about gratuity practices. Overall, this restaurant delivers an enjoyable dining experience, and with a few adjustments, could easily become a favorite for special occasions and gatherings.

Group of 5. We shared 2/3 of the menu. Everything was great, bit the consensus is that the best was the sashimi. Or the potato. Or the snapper. Oh. Everything was great.

I had given 3 stars to Vicia 8 years ago (2018), and this year 2025, it became my 5-star restaurant in St. Louis.
Their menu evolved through the years and changes with the seasons. We enjoyed our choice of the chef's three-course menu very much. The fried rice has a special flavor and is tasty, highly recommended. I hope they can stay in St. Louis for a long long time.

Went here for dinner after an intimate wedding. There were about 12 of us and we were seated on the patio at a nice long table.
We had the fixed menu without the pairing.
It was AMAZING! Even the way they served the food with 4 or five servers coming out at the same time was impressive. And the main server Caity was knowledgeable and very nice
The farm to table food to delicious and light with some veggies coming from the garden just outside the venue. The whole evening was just perfect. I would definitely go again and highly recommend anyone to go and have this experience. 5* all the way!

The vegetable-driven plates stood out—a charred carrot dish felt layered and inventive, while the pork entrée carried bold flavor without excess. Service moved with quiet confidence, and the airy, modern room gave dinner a bright, memorable character.
