Espresso Natini- Mocktail
Danielle M.

I love this place! 10/10 I decided to surprise my spouse for our wedding anniversary and chose this place. We were not disappointed. The location of this place is off to itself. A lovely big and dark red painted mansion. The inside is dim, but intimate. The staff was great! Our server was Amanda. She was very attentive. Appetizers August the Mansion House salad- it was good with the Candied walnuts Brussels Sprouts- So warm and sweet. I couldn't get enough of it. Burratta- The Burratta was light and so good Drinks(Mocktails) Espresso Natini- Light and Perfect. No strong taste to it. Palmito- Sweet Main Dishes NY Strip- Cooked it medium rare. Very tasty Shrimp and Grits- My said it was spicy, but she enjoyed it Dessert Pistachio cheesecake- delicious

Kale Salad
Jerran N.

My coworkers and I were in town for work and wanted a nice dinning experience. August The Mansion had good reviews. We booked reservations for 5:30 on a Wednesday night. We arrived early and were quickly seated at a table. This place's definitely gives intimate date vibes. Perfect for a couples night out. They also have outdoor seating if you wanted to hang around as well as a bar. After being seated it took about 10-15 minutes before a server came to our table. After ordering our meals it took another 40- 45 minutes for the food to come. This place didn't seem that busy so I couldn't understand the wait. I was extremely hungry so the long was time was an annoyance. Luckily the food was good. I ordered the Kale Salad along with the Shrimp & Grits. The Kale salad was fresh and delicious. Great source of vegatables. The shrimp and grits were delicious. A very nice sized portion. Plenty of shrimp and sausage. There were a ton of peppers however I took most of them out. Overall the food is really good. The long wait times brought down my review. If I'm in town again I may give them another shot and hope the food comes out quicker.

Pork chop

August the Mansion is a beautiful local spot. We went on our date night, and the vibes were perfect. We had a reservation in one of the back rooms, so it was quiet, lights dimmed, candle light and flowers. Our service was great as well--our server, Mitchel took great care of us. We had the pork chop dinner which was good, but was definitely not the "20 oz" they advertise on the menu, the yam puree was probably the smoothest puree I've ever had and may have been my favorite part of the plate-the mushrooms and onions had almost zero flavor, and the mushrooms were almost watery, which I wasn't a fan of. The steak & frites were good as well. The fries were extra crispy, and the steak was seasoned well and had great flavor. All in all, we'd return to try more of the menu, but we don't think it was good enough to be our "go-to" date night spot.

NY Strip and the filet
Page N.

This place is insanely good and such a gem in Ofallon. My husband and I went for our anniversary and we had amazing service and the food was delicious. My husband had the NY Strip and I had the filet. Both were cooked perfectly. Their fries are incredible- you cannot come here without getting them! They also have really good deals during happy hour and I love the overall ambiance of this place. I can't wait to come back once it's nice enough to sit out on their patio

This is my new favorite restaurant! The food was amazing, the restaurant is beautiful and the service was great! We ordered the Sprouts & the whipped brie for appetizers and they were so good. The sprouts were a larger portion than we had anticipated but every bite was to die for. The rosemary focaccia they serve with the whipped brie is really what ties the whole dish together. For an entree we ordered the filet and the pork Ragu. The filet was amazing, cooked perfectly, and the Demi glaze was such a nice sweet touch. The potatoes were amazing and I will be thinking of them for days. The ragu was okay but the filet was definitely the star of the show. Then we went out to the fire pit where we made s'mores. All in all it was a perfect meal. Our server, Mitchell, was very knowledgeable and helped guide us through the menu for our first time. He was so warm and made us feel very special! I can't wait to come back!!

Good Pinot

Excellent food. Great service. Beautiful restaurant. I had the side balsamic berry salad and it was delicious. A perfect amount of dressing. The side size was much larger than I thought. For dinner I had the filet which tasted great. I really liked the potato dauphine! I did also try some of the fries on a friend's plate and they were really good too! For dessert I tried the tiramisu trio - the pistachio flavor was the winner. The bartender made a delicious old fashioned and they had a great wine selection. We got a bottle of the rebellious Pinot noir. Our server was delightful. The atmosphere is very nice but comfortable. I wore slacks but others there were wearing nicer shorts and button down shirts

This was our second time coming here, we were celebrating our 10th anniversary. We love the beautiful building and bar area, and think it's very pretty inside. The acoustics make it kinda hard to hear what the person across from you is saying, and the wooden chairs are not comfortable at all. Our server was a very bubbly young lady named Emma, who did a great job taking care of us. I had two glasses of wine and we ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer, a house salad each, and we both had the filet entree. I loved it all, but my husband thought there was too much sauce on the sprouts and wasn't crazy about the salad. He loved the entree though. We got the tiramisu for dessert, and took it home with us. The portions are big, so we had some sprouts and I had some steak leftover. I'm looking forward to having it for dinner again tonight!! We will definitely be back. I love that it's in town, and the food is delicious. It's pricey but worth it, especially when you're celebrating something.

Dining Room

The Setting Was Elegant... But the Experience Was a Letdown Let me start by saying I've been to August the Mansion a few times and always admired its timeless beauty and charm. It's the kind of place that feels like stepping into a Southern novel, grand dining rooms, candlelit tables, and soft floral arrangements that whisper grace. So naturally, I thought it would be the perfect setting to treat my grandmother to a Mother's Day brunch. But darlings, what I expected and what we received were two very different things. I paid $80 for two brunch buffets, and sadly, the food felt more suited for a high school cafeteria line than a Mother's Day celebration. Lukewarm eggs, uninspired proteins, and not a single dish that made me want to go back for seconds. The presentation lacked polish, and it felt like no heart or elegance went into what should have been a thoughtful, elevated experience. What made it worse? No one offered us a cocktail or drink menu--despite other tables around us being offered just that. I had to all but beg for a mimosa, and even then, it felt like I was interrupting. When I asked about the buffet, the servers didn't even know what was being served. No descriptions, no warmth--just blank stares and vague gestures toward the food. Grandma, being her sweet self, made the best of it. But I was left feeling embarrassed that I brought her here on such a special day. Will I return for lunch or a quiet weekday glass of wine? Maybe, but events like this? Never again. Some places are beautiful to look at, but when the hospitality and food don't match the ambiance, it's a hard pass. Xoxo, Sierra

What an awesome building and spot to eat. It's absolutely beautiful inside and I'm so happy I was able to discover this spot with some friends this weekend. If you use Apple Maps to get there, it might take you a weird way to park, but follow the road to the right of the building to park in their designated lot. I parked in a random lot lol. This used to be a literal house and it's super apparent. The owners have done nothing to the appearance (minus rehab it of course) to take away the quaint and beautiful feel. Hostess is located directly in the front door with a massive staircase behind her. To the right is the dining room which we were seated in. It's a very nice and aesthetic ambiance, and makes it feel very elevated. The room is adorned with a fireplace, chandeliers, and lots of natural light. In the back of the house, you will find restrooms, but directly to the left is an entire other room, which is the bar. This is a bit of a more casual area. Super awesome and I'd love to come back here to eat in that space as well. For food and drink: - espresso martini: this wasn't my favorite, as it had a more citrus taste to it. I personally do not prefer that, but if that's your jam- you'll love it! - cab- great wine and complimented the experience well. - Brussels: insane. Huge portion, cooked wonderfully, and were seasoned deliciously. - whipped bre with bread- obviously a hit, it was heavy! But so good. - pork belly- SO good. Crispy and the seasoning was delicious. - burger- this was cooked a bit too well done for my preference. The aioli was amazing that came with the fries. The fries were amazing and were more of the French pomme frites style. - chocolate cake- I did not order this, a friend did. I'm not a chocolate cake person but it was good! Frosting is always my favorite part. I will absolutely return.

I read a review about their potato pancakes, and I was sad when I didn't find them on the menu and I asked the woman and she said she only had one order left, so we took it and we had a California style. It was a thin potato pancake with cream cheese, smooth salmon, capers, and pickled onions and some fresh thinly sliced cucumber. It was quite delicious We each had a glass of white wine, and their wine is a very decent pour out a very reasonable price. And we had a oaky Chardonnay. The price is $10 a glass or $40 for the bottle. She said each bottle has four glasses of wine, so you don't save any money buying the whole bottle She let us taste the wine before she poured it, which was very nice for only getting the glass Unfortunately, we had a late lunch, so we didn't get to try out any more of the food, but everything on their special board looked delicious Would definitely come back if we're in the area

Keep walking and you enter the bar area with other rooms off to the side. The staff are warm and welcoming. They greet you as you enter and direct you to seating. I sat at the bar and at one of the small seating areas and both were comfortable and cozy. The decor inside is what makes this place so charming! Antique furniture, couches, tables and cozy chairs at the bar! There is just a warm, comfortable and cozy vibe from the building, decor and the amazing staff! They have a several page long wine menu that includes glasses and wines by the bottle. If you love wine you will not be disappointed! But it doesn't end with wine...specialty cocktails, beers, and more. Look to the board to the left of the bar for other delightful specials. I tried the coconut hot toddy and it was yummy! Grafted also has a small menu with cheese and meat boards and the best part...'Potato Pancake Goes on a World Tour' menu! (Fri-Sun only) These are a must try! There is also a patio space that looks really nice! I'm looking forward to returning soon!

That's the vibe. We started on the front patio on a Friday night and quickly realized we'd made a mistake. The doors to the interior were open and the music -- a rock-forward playlist that night -- was loud enough that we considered bailing. Our server, was unbothered when we asked to move up to the rooftop. Where we met with a new bartender and server, London, who rolled with it, got us resettled, and from that point on the night was great. London was clearly handling the bar and most of the rooftop tables, but she was attentive throughout, and made eye contact, which seems a near miracle from many 20-something these days. Bumping the score up just for the flexibility on the table move alone. The food: crab cakes were genuinely good, not life-changing, but well above the weak-crab-cake bar that exists in most of the world, served simply with capers and a small salad. I went off-script and ordered the wagyu burger medium rare with fontina (London mentioned cheddar is the more common pick, but the Fontina offerd a great alternative). The burger was deeply flavorful and cooked exactly right, but here's my one real note for the kitchen: toast the brioche bun. Wagyu medium-rare puts out a lot of juice, and an untoasted bun loses its structural integrity about three bites in. A quick toast would let the bun keep some additional integrate and keep up with the perfectly cooked beef. The pom buff were great, the best elevated patato tots you may come by. Beyond what we ordered, the Greek salad is a longtime go-to -- chopped, with grape leaves and pita, available in a small or large, and easily dressed up into a light meal with or without adding some protein or can be share as a self-dress bruschetta appetizer for the group if you ask for extra bread. The cheese boards are also a reliable pick. The wine list is extensive (it's a wine bar, after all), but they don't sniff at cocktails -- I had a solid fine old fashioned, and my wife shared had a Malbec that paired well with everything. Lots of gluten-free options across the menu, too. What Sasha's gets right is that it has refused to become precious. "Wine bar" reads as pretentious to some people, but this place runs as a neighborhood spot. You'll see college kids dressed way down, couples on dates dressed way up, Hawaiian shirts, oversized sweaters, the full range. It's the kind of place where you can split a bottle with your girlfriends, meet a date for drinks and a quick bite without committing to a full dinner, or roll in for brunch on the weekend. Different times of day, different vibes -- always approachable. 4.7 stars. Loses a few tenths for the front-patio music situation and the weak burger bun, but more than makes up for it on flexibility, food, and overall hang factor.

I think there were only one or two other tables of guests when we went. Very minor critique, but the music played on the speakers didn't quite match the scenery. A rock music radio station was on for a majority of our time there, and it was a bit loud. We shared two bottles of wine, and both were super delicious. The service was fast, and employees were friendly and accomodating. We also ordered the Brie Charcuterie, which is served with baked brie, salami, grapes, and bread. It was good, but not necessarily worth $25 in my opinion. The salami to bread ratio was slightly off, but we asked for more bread, and an employee brought us more free of charge. For lunch, we all shared a flatbread and a burger. Both were great! Beautiful views and relaxing environment! I would come back.
