Met up with friends for a happy hour. The only bright spot was the ambiance. Our server was…read moreinattentive and seemed to have a poor attitude. We ordered the meatballs, arancini, pizza, and calamari. The meatballs, arancini, and the calamari had no flavor at all. The pizza was good but if I'm going somewhere in Webster for pizza, I'd rather go to o+o pizza. My wife (who has a dairy allergy) asked if the calamari was dairy-free. Server said yes. When it arrived (via a different food runner), we asked again if it was dairy-free and she said it was not dairy-free. We explained to the server that she could not eat this and he didn't offer to take away or remove from the bill. When the bill came we tried to just make it easy and split the bill in half. However, this must have been too hard as my friends were charged for the whole table and we were charge for half. The manager was able to resolve the billing issue but it never should have come up.

It turns out we've been driving past a Kirkwood treasure all this time. This is "upscale-casual" at its finest--professional and refined, but with a neighborhood heart. Service & Logistics The service here is exceptionally polished. From the friendly hosts to our knowledgeable server, everything ran like clockwork. We even had a visit from a gentleman I presume was the owner (likely Bob, who has been at the helm for decades). He didn't just "check-in"--he saw we needed a few items and personally took care of it. Pro Tips: * Reservations: Don't look for them on OpenTable. They use their own dedicated form on their website, which is simple and efficient. * Wednesday Wine: If you can, visit on a Wednesday. They offer half-priced wine bottles with your meal--a fantastic value for their extensive collection. Cocktails & Drinks The bar program here is excellent, and the bartender was friendly and engaging. * White Negroni (4.5/5): Though they may not have had Suze (the drink wasn't perfectly clear), the bartender absolutely nailed the flavor profile and balance. * Barrel-Finished Manhattan (4.5/5): Their use of an in-house barrel finish makes this classically executed cocktail a real standout--highly recommended for whiskey lovers. * Wine: They have an awesome selection. Definitely ask your server for recommendations! The Food: American Fare with a Global Twist * House Salad (4.5/5): You have to try their house dressing--it's a creamy garlic style that reminds me of the classic Mayfair Hotel dressing. It's incredibly tasty and a true St. Louis staple. * Blackened Grouper (4.5/5): As someone who loves Florida grouper, this hit the mark. Lightly blackened with a fresh mango salsa; vibrant and perfectly executed. * Rainbow Trout (4.25/5): The orange tarragon cream sauce is the star. It was perfectly balanced--enough to enhance the fish and rice without being "soupy." * Pilot House Chicken (4.5/5): A delicious, well-seasoned chicken breast. Savory, juicy, and very well-prepared. * Extras (5/5): They start you with lavash crackers and butter, and the hot, fresh rolls are dangerous. They even finish the night with powdered sugar cookies--a classic Sunset 44 touch. Dessert * S'more Cheesecake & Chocolate Martini (4.5/5): We opted for this beautifully executed, unique dessert. It was yummy on its own, but ordering a Chocolate Martini to accompany it was the perfect move. The Vibe: It definitely skews toward a more mature, quiet crowd. It's the perfect place if you actually want to hear the people you're dining with.

Definitely higher end, very fresh, well plated. We both left pretty full. Steak was cooked perfectly. I could somewhat justify the price of it based on the quality, but paired with the overall experience, it just wasn't for us. My husband and I have been to MANY expensive, higher end restaurants, both across the St. Louis region, across the nation, and across many a foreign country (Europe, Asia, Central America). For a $500 meal (two coursed meals and wine pairing), this just didn't hit the mark for us. We had a 7:30PM reservation for my Husband's birthday. We did not get our first course until 8:15. We went over 30 minutes in between some courses. Our wine glasses were empty most of the meal. The overall "experience" took almost 3 hours for four courses. We've been to restaurants where the meal was 2.5 - 3 hours, but it was not us waiting around. Here, we spent most of the time just waiting, wondering when our next course would be. The server gave lots of excuses, mostly "there was a big top in the bar room" but for the cost of the meal, that's not really an excuse. Especially when the restaurant wasn't full and we had made a reservation. We literally talked about getting up and walking out at one point. There was another couple that had an 8PM reservation, and they were getting the same courses as us, but before us. There was also a Gentleman that sat next to us who came in around 8:30, had three courses, and was out within an hour. This is St. Louis. The other few restaurants in the region at that price point have been white glove. Never an empty glass, attentive service, never waiting between courses. Honestly, I was somewhat appalled by my experience here, especially reading the other reviews. It was just not good.

My husband and I came down to Webster for Happy Hour at Frisco Ballroom and they were INSANELY…read morebusy, so we started searching for another one. It was already getting late so we were worried we wouldn't find one in time, when this spot popped up! Their Happy Hour goes until 6:30!! I was a little nervous for parking in this area, but it's far enough down that we had no issues. We walked in and luckily, two people were packing up at the bar, so we snagged their spots. Happy Hour is limited to the bar area only. I have no idea why I haven't heard more about this spot, and I'm honestly surprised it's not hyped up more! They use a lot of local, fresh vendors for their ingredients, and the spot is very clean and welcoming. The bartender was great all night, he gave top notch service. The food menu looks phenomenal, and they have have a lot of great options on the Happy Hour menu itself. I just got a couple glasses of house wine for a great price and my husband got a couple beers, which even the NICE ones were only $5. Their cocktails looked bomb too, we'll have to come back and try some. The beef tacos had REALLY great flavor, the fries were ginormous, crispy and cooked to perfection, and even the whipped feta was tasty. The bread they served it with was bomb. Such a cool spot, great prices, and super high quality. We will definitely be back.

A few other parties came while we were there but in no way was it packed. Our waitress was super nice. Stopped by appropriately and made sure our drinks were filled up. There was another member of the wait staff who was opening up the hot dishes as you made your way down the line. The layout was not overwhelming. There's a small table with a soup and salad fixings. The hot stuff was in chafing dishes. It had a few breakfast items then some had lunch items. There was an omelet station which my husband enjoyed. There was a small pastry section with a dessert. Pastries were dry. It advertised a jazz or music brunch. The band was having issues setting up so we didn't get to hear them. They offer an unlimited mimosa bar that is an additional cost. The regular menu looked good. Hope to stop by in the future.

There were the usual brunch items: soups, salads, smoked salmon, eggs, bacon, sausage links, herb potatoes, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast and an omelette station. If breakfast didn't fill you up there were lunch entrées too. Chicken creamed spinach, Sunday roast, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, fresh corn cut off the cob and mashed potatoes. Finally assorted pastries and fresh fruit. Our waitress Lilly was outstanding and it was even her very first brunch service. So friendly and attentive which made our experience that much more enjoyable. Thank you Lilly! We had an early reservation which turned out to be good as by the time we were leaving the crowds showed up. Only thing, just before we left, live entertainment started which was a nice touch. Wish we could have listened longer but they had a 90 minute seating time which I guess was because it was Father's Day. Even though the restaurant is fairly new, it seemed they have their act together. We will be back again.

It's incredibly welcoming. Nick and Genesis are genuinely some of the kindest people you'll meet, and that hospitality comes through every time we're there.

I had the Steak au Poivre and all in all I'm not mad at the dish. Not amazed, probably won't order it again, but it's well balanced between the grits and the asparagus. Asparagus was a bit less crispy than my preference but not bad. The steak was seasoned well and cooked to my preferred temp, I just don't think the green peppercorn sauce complimented it well. The only really negative thing about the place is the volume it can get to, it was a bit hard to hear who I was eating with. Otherwise I think the ambiance was homey and cozy and the lighting was soft for an enjoyable evening. I'll likely visit again sometime!
