Yea, I get to update my original review!
I truly hate to have to give a bad review, but some restaurants can be so offensive I feel that I must speak my piece, as in the case of my original review. However, I am glad to be able to update my review based upon my most recent experience....Hey, I like to be fair...If someone hated my guts and then had a change of heart I'd want to know what I finally did right! Wouldn't you?
So my brother came to visit and I gave him the express tour of St. Louis, since he wasn't in town for long. We had a late breakfast and a late lunch, so naturally we went for a late dinner...the only place I could think of with a late dinner menu and rooftop bar to continue my express tour of St. Louis was...you guessed it ECLIPSE! I literally prayed the whole way there that we wouldn't have a bad experience, no joke! After reading Aimee K's latest review I had a glimmer of hope that we'd be okay.
My brother had the Salmon and loved it. I had the Shrimp Cocktail and the Mussels, really good! The bartender was super friendly and nice! After we finished dinner we went up to the rooftop to take a gander at the Lou at night and have a nightcap, the great service continued!
Thanks ECLIPSE for not making me look like an Ass in front of my brother! You are no longer on my bad list...I'm glad we had the opportunity to kiss and make up, I'm glad we're in a better place now.

I'm DONE!!! If I could give this place a -5 I would!
I have had some decent experiences on the Rooftop Bar, but hey how can you mess up bringing someone a drink!?
The Restaurant/Bar is a freaking disaster from the word GO! Everytime I have gone to the Bar I have been ignored by the bartenders...even after receiving such rudeness I would leave a rather large tip, hoping that when I come back I'd not have to deal with such behavior scratch my back, I'll scratch yours...not from these rude bastards! Not even so much as glint of a smile or a whisper of "Thanks"...Dude you're not doing me a favor, doing your job!!! Get your minds right Eclipse...Do Better!
Last night was the kicker! We were there for 2 hours (which was not by choice!) and literally saw our waiter four times = once every 30 minutes (once to take our drink order, once to deliver our drinks and take our food order, once to deliver our food and once when we were walking out the door).
We waited waaaay too long for our drinks, once we got our drinks my friend's wine was stale and 90 degrees hot, ridiculous! We ordered the toasted ravioli...they were disgusting! The marinara sauce tasted as if it came out of a can and had HUGE chunks of tomatoes, onions and other nasty bits! Oh yeah, don't let me forget that when he brought the food he actually handed the plate to me for me to place on the table...WTF!?
The conclusion of the evening was us tallying up the bill by ourselves and leaving the money on the table! He magically appeared and asked if we were leaving...my friend said "Well isn't that obvious?"
This place is off the list...won't be back until they fire the current staff and start over!!! read more
