Popped in on a Friday around 515 without a reservation and we got lucky with a table available for 2. We enjoyed the happy hour menu with excellent cocktails and shared several appetizers. Everything was so good!! The oysters were fantastic and fresh, the sauce was unique and tasteful. Our waitress was great -- very friendly and attentive but didn't hover. The decor is fun and modern and definitely gave ~girls night~ vibes (while still being a great spot for a date night!). We didn't make it to entrees as we filled up on the happy hour menu, but I felt like prices were reasonable while the vibes were a little more upscale than causal. Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu! Everything was so good, but I think the oysters and popcorn shrimp were my favorite things we tried. read more

I loved Extra Wavy! Such a fun menu. Tequila? I am ordering it! Plot Twist with tequila, sour cherry maraschino, walnut, lime, pistachio foam. So good! We shared all the plates we ordered. Sourdough Focaccia, Salt and Vinegar Fries, Fried Polenta, Pork Belly Skewers, and Fish and Chips. Each item was better than the one before. I can't stop thinking about the fried polenta! The fries were so good and good again when reheated. The fish was great! Firm and not greasy. Bread, delicious! Our waiter, Almedin, was great. Attentive but not hovering. Already looking forward to going back! read more

Extra Wavy - Menu - Seafood Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Since I'm a huge fan of Yellowbelly, I couldn't wait for the opportunity to try this place. Our reservation was at 8:30, and we made it with 5 mins to spare. When we first walked in, I was captivated by how large the place was followed by the pleasantries of garlic and other spices. We were sat at the bar and immediately given water and menus. At first glance, the menus have a similar setup in which the cocktails are listed first followed by the food dishes. The menu offers a wide array of drinks such as speciality cocktails, non alcoholic, and wine. The food section is vast as they offer a raw portion, salads, appetizers, sandwiches and entrees. To start, I went with the plot twist and my bf got the hot take. My drink was tequila based but had a nice mixture of cherry and other ingredients with a pistachio foam on top. The foam reminded me of a secret barrier before getting to the good stuff. The drink was sweet but not overly sweet. For appetizers, we went with the sourdough focaccia and chicken thigh skewers. The bread was heaven sent. To our surprise, it was already coated with garlic butter. It was soft, fresh, and something you wanted to keep eating even if you were full. The chicken skewers were tasty and they took it up a notch by adding chimichurri. For our mains, he got the stuffed pasta and I got the grilled salmon. This is where things took a slight turn as the server put in the wrong order for him causing a slight delay. Additionally, she was a bit slow with the cues when it came to getting her attention. Eventually she got it right and I must say it was worth the wait. My salmon was cooked perfectly and as I requested. The sauces paired well and were a nice addition to have with the accompanying vegetables. His stuffed pasta was incredible. It had a nice blend of vegetables and reminded me of the mint pasta from Pastaria except it's bigger. To round things up, I got a glass of sparkling rosè. It was strawberry based with hints of lemon but was just what I needed. While as much as we enjoyed the meal, we had no room for dessert. Overall, we were more than pleased with our first visit. Both the staff and service were phenomenal, in addition to the amazing food they serve. We'll def be back. read more

What a great time and experience Extra Wavy is! I came here for a girls night and it ended up being such a refreshing new spot for us to check out. The decor is modern and fits well with the raw bar vibe, it's still elevated and an intimate space. I was in the midst of doing dry January but the cocktails my friends received looked wonderful and well crafted. Our appetizers were all delicious: hamachi crudo (I've never had anything like that before- loved the melon/ caviar combo), whipped ricotta was fire, and loved the butter that came with the ricotta. I had the burger for my entree and it was delicious- smashed wonderfully with the manchego. The real winner tho was my friends crab pasta. I've thought about it several times since and will definitely be getting that next time. Bravo, Extra Wavy! read more

Extra Wavy absolutely rules. The staff, the thoughtfully curated ambiance, the food, the drinks - genuinely everything is top tier. I love sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders be completely in their element. They have a weeknight happy hour that is quite excellent with creative discounted drinks and unique food options - perfect for a solo bar sit. The popcorn shrimp with curry mayo was, quite frankly, one of the best apps I've ever had. On the regular menu, the Plot Twist is also one of the best drinks I've ever had. You'd have no idea it's a margarita. They also have mini martinis!! A mini espresso martini as dessert? Sign me up. Their fries are advertised as salt and vinegar flavored, but don't let it scare you! It's not super strong and pairs so nicely with the flavors of whatever delightful meal you are eating. Seriously. How do they do that? Lastly, don't sleep on the chocolate cake. My friend and I were in awe by it. I love Extra Wavy. Thank you, folks at Yellowbelly, for making this new gem of a joint. read more

Perfect for friends get together, date nights and celebrations. The food is phenomenal. Three of us ordered 3 appetizers and 1 entree to share. These are our favorites: - whipped ricotta: Even though this is nothing too special, the execution works well. - Stuffed pasta dish is so delicious. All pasta is made in house. The almonds provides great textures, and the ravioli were so flavorful. read more

Came here with a friend and it was soo good. Parking lot is a bit small so I had to across the street. Once I got there, we were seated quickly. Everything on the menu looked great so we decided to split a few things. We ordered grilled oysters, salt and vinegar fries, shrimp skewers, Panzanella salad and chocolate cake for dessert. There was much more I wanted to try! Service was great! Food came out in a timely manner. The space is much larger than I remembered. Will def go again and try some of the larger plates. read more

Came here with a friend for the happy hour. I'd never been here before but have heard good things. It's got a nice big parking lot and we were able to get bar seats right away on a Monday night. Their menu was great with lots of yummy seafood options. We got a chicken sandwich and fries off the happy hour menu to split. Both were delicious and we were in the mood for more so we got the shrimp. A stand out for me was the cocktails. I had three. A French 75, a lemon drop martini, and the cutest little cosmo marTINY which is a baby martini. Everything tasted delicious. The inside was beautifully decorated and the wait staff was very fun. The bartender chatted with us a lot and it was enjoyable! I would love to come here again, maybe for a company happy hour. read more

Dined here with my husband at the end of December, but haven't been able to stop thinking about our meal since! The restaurant interior is clean and sleek, and the vibes and service are immaculate. Our waiter that evening was incredible and so attentive; he gave us some great menu recommendations and was very accommodating. For drinks, we started off with a Plot Twist (cherry limeade vibes) and a Confetti Cowboy (smooth, nutty, and slightly tart). Both drinks were exceptional! For food, we ordered the scallop crudo, crab pasta, and lamb burger. The scallop crudo was light and citrusy, and the almonds on top were an interesting and unique touch. The crab pasta was decadent and delicious, definitely a must-order if you visit! The lamb burger was also delicious and flavorful. We added the salt and vinegar fries on the side, and I'm so glad we did. The fries!!! Omg they're so good!! If you love salt and vinegar chips, you have to try these. By this time we had also ordered a couple of the mar-tiny's. We got the Perfect Martini and the Cosmopolitan. Both were well-crafted and tasty. It was a fantastic meal overall, and we would love to visit again the next time we're in St Louis. read more

Okay had to check this place out and it's awesome! The vibes are vibey, the food is tasty, and the staff is friendly. I got the lobster donut roll (had to, was so intrigued) and the pork belly skewers to share and both were very unique and delicious! HOWEVER, my absolute favorite were the salt and vinegar fries. The seasoning is ON POINT and cannot compare to any other fries. Cocktails were also tasty. We came for a bday celebration and staff was attentive and helpful. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

By far one of my top fav restaurants in St. Louis this year. The food at Extra Wavy is amazing. I highly recommend the baked oysters, the crab pasta, and the lobster doughnut. The service was amazing, with our server being incredibly sweet and helpful. The ambiance is unique and gives off vibes similar to Yellowbelly and The Lazy Tiger (which is all under the same group). I've been recommending Extra Wavy non-stop and am finally getting around to writing this review! read more

We also had the crab pasta... great flavor there too! An incredibly pleasant experience... I will return! Oh and drinks!!!! My table favorite was frothy tequila based drink!!' read more

This restaurant was so good last week, had to run it back this week. Make you sure you make a reservation as they even book the bar seats. Drinks, service, and food are top tier. This restaurant is the sister company to @yellowbelly so they knew how to get things right. I highly recommend the lamb meatball, lobster donut (made with sweet potatoes), and the classic cheeseburger. read more

New spot by Tim Wiggins, the same brain behind Yellowbelly, and wow, this is officially our new raw bar. We went full send on the crudo because obviously. My lobster donut was the moment. Salmon was dialed in, pasta sauce was absolutely unhinged in the best way, and Ace swore the steak was fantastic. I'm not touching flesh so we'll take your word for it Ace. The ambiance is a full vibe, moody, sexy, and fun. A fantastic friend dinner spot. Service impeccable. I expect nothing less. I didn't think anything could outdo Yellowbelly, but.... You be the judge. read more

That cocktail was to DIE FOR! A friend and I had a reservation here before a concert at Enterprise Center. We picked out an entree and a starter, and shared both. The food was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. Our server was attentive and explained everything well. The interior is lovely, though the music is loud enough that it's a struggle to hold a conversation. I just don't understand why restaurants feel the need to have their background music at such high levels. read more

I can't believe I've waited this long to review Extra Wavy since I've been there multiple times. First of all, I'm THRILLED to have a fantastic new restaurant in/near Lafayette Square. If you follow them on IG, you know it's a beautiful space (completely gutted and re-designed). What you can't see from the photos is how consistently great the staff is. They are always welcoming, friendly, and efficient. You can go to Extra Wavy for a fancy date night (lobster donuts! oysters!) or bring your kids there for one of the best burgers in Saint Louis. They have a great happy hour menu from 4-6. Don't overlook their salads - they grow their own lettuce and herbs. Oh! And you might think their bread is from Union Loafers because it's so good, but it's made in house, and so are their desserts. My son loves the sticky toffee pudding. And I haven't even talked about their cocktails. You just have to go and try them all (but not all in one visit - calm down). I love their marTINYs - perfect if you want to avoid a hangover, if you've already indulged a bit. read more

As expected from the same group behind Yellow Belly and Lazy Tiger, Extra Wavy definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant was so spacious with plenty of parking in the lot. I was so amazed with the amount of people hat showed up when the restaurant was only open for a few weeks. The servers and hosts were so nice and friendly. I ordered a hot tea and my waiter made sure to top me off with hot water throughout the night. I disclosed that we were celebrating anniversary and they made us feel special. The food was absolutely amazing and did not fail to meet my expectations. My favorite dish is the mushroom toast. For a vegetarian dish, it was super delicious and the mushrooms were so savory that they tasted like breakfast sausage. I highly recommend you order this dish. The lobster donut was interesting and unique from your regular lobster rolls. The scallop crudo was fresh and I liked the almond praline. It gave the dish a nice crunch and a dessert-like flavor. The crab pasta was an elevated Alfredo with the zesty breadcrumbs. Too bad I am not a drinker so I couldn't try their mixology but the cocktails are probably fire. read more

Beautiful space for this new restaurant concept! Very spacious bar space and plenty of dining tables. We tried a couple of cocktails , Plot Twist and Harmony Circus. Both were tasty but I especially loved the Plot Twist with pistachio foam. Food-wise we tried the hamachi crudo, lamb meatballs, shrimp & tomato skewers, panzanilla and lobster donut with fries. Things were coursed out nicely for us and we enjoyed everything we tried. The panzanella, lamb meatballs and salt & vinegar fries were definitely favorites. We are excited to go back to try more of the menu! read more

Music a bit loud but once the place filled up( and it sure did on a Saturday night), seemed tolerable. Service was helpful, prompt. Liked the choice of a minitini, a smaller martini. Cocktail, wine list went on forever. The menu choices included starters, salads/ soups, sandwiches and entrees. The polenta starter was amazing. The salmon was perfect. Got a nice welcome , thanks for coming . Nice touch, nice dining experience! read more

I wish I didn't live so close. Just for the fries. This is one of those trendy, "we take food seriously, but our attitude is relaxed" restaurants. It's a personal preference, but if I'm making reservations and ordering a $10 cocktail (happy hour pricing at that), I'd like the staff to put as much effort into the dress code as the bartender puts into said cocktail. Having said that, the staff was all very friendly and attentive. The cocktails were delicious. Worth coming back for. The Manhattan hit all the notes I was looking for. The oysters were amazing. The previously mentioned fries were amazing. The crab pasta and fish and chips were completely delectable. They could use some sound absorption material as it got quite loud once the restaurant filled up, but all in all, we enjoyed the dinner. read more

DO NOT sleep on this latest gem in St. Louis! Extra Wavy has a great vibe and outstanding food. From the appetizers to the entrees. And even the desserts! We came for dinner and were pleasantly pleased they have a happy hour from 5-630. I had the BEST espresso martini ever. And my husband enjoyed his old fashioned. We had the Wavy Fries and Popcorn Shrimp as our appetizers. Absolutely amazing. You have to try the fries. For our entrees I had the Crab Pasta and my husband had Fish and Chips both equally delicious. Of course we had to try dessert. So we ordered chocolate cake to go and it did not disappoint. Our server was outstanding! We couldn't have asked for better service! I cannot recommend Extra Wavy enough. We'll definitely be back!! read more

WOOOW this food sent me into a spiral of flavor fantasticality. Weeks leading up to my visit, I had heard tales of the crab pasta from TikTok. My thoughts were consumed by her. She was in my dreams. Today, my dreams came true. Although, as breathtaking as she was, nothing compared to grandmas chocolate cake. It was like nothing I have ever tasted. I don't know what the hell grandmas got goin on, but holy moly that woman knows what she's doing. She's a genius. We also got happy hour drinks, popcorn shrimp, and a lobster donut. All amazeballs. Our server was Derek, what a guy! He did a wonderful job, super attentive, kind, and professional. He gave us little post cards and we love them. Thank you Derek, I hope your future is full of fortune and good times. Cheers, Extra Wavy, until we meet again read more

Such a delicious experience from start to finish. The drink of the night for me was the Plot Twist. Great mix of flavors with the pistachio froth being a winning topping. We tried several dishes, so let's jump into those. The grilled oysters had amazing flavors and we could have ordered those all night. The lamb meatballs were equally delicious. The chicken thigh skewers were tasty, but needs the zhoug to really make them pop. Our last item was the crab pasta and once again they hit the mark with this one. Our service was also good and she was helpful in our selections. The ambiance was quaint and casual. read more

It was busy, but the tables were spread out enough that I didn't feel crowded by other parties at all. Service was good, maybe even a little overly-attentive at times, but friendly.

Extra wavy was soooooo good. Everything from drinks to food were 10/10. It was so cutesy inside and service was great. To start we got the SOURDOUGH FOCACCIA and MAFALDINE CACIO E PEPE off the happy hour menu. Both were yummyyy but the Cacio e Pepe rly stood out! For drinks they suggested the ESPRESSO MARTINI and let me tell you it was one of the bests I've had. Also got the SKINNY DIPPER which was so beautifully balanced! For main course had to get the LOBSTER DONUT ROLL (I usually prefer a warm lobster roll over cold lobster salad) but omg it was to die for. I was also weary about the donut but it was a perfect combo light and buttery. And lastly the WAVY BURGER w side of SALT & VINEGAR FRIES, again perfect blend of flavors and the salt and vinegar fries paired perfectly w the hot honey aioli. Overall 12/10 will be going back asap to try more. read more

I loved the vibe of Extra Wavy. It's cute and bright. The service was good. The drinks were good. However, I was underwhelmed with most the food. Scallop crudo was tasty, but very rich (not a lot of acid). The hot honey oysters were 75% breadcrumbs with no hot honey flavor. I enjoyed the pork belly, but my boyfriend got a few really dry pieces. The extra wavy burger saved the whole meal. It was juicy and I loved the salt & vinegar fries. I'd go back for drinks and fries, but there are better places in the city with this price point. read more

Extra Wavy: A Splash of Flavor and Fun on Chouteau Ave If you haven't dipped into Extra Wavy yet, grab your floaties and head to 2017 Chouteau Ave -- this place is making waves in all the right ways . From the moment we walked in, the vibe was breezy and bright, with beachy wallpaper and art prints that felt like a curated postcard from a coastal daydream. We started our night perched at the comfiest bar in town -- seriously, the kind of plush seating that makes you linger longer than planned. The cocktail menu? A masterclass in mixology. We sipped on a Plot Twist (unexpectedly delightful), Hot Take (spicy and bold), Confetti Cowboy (yee-haw meets citrus sparkle), and the Perfect Martini, which lived up to its name. Bonus points for the clever Mar-Tiny option -- petite pours that let you sample more without overcommitting. Genius. The food? Oh, we feasted. The whipped focaccia was pillowy and addictive, and the Hamachi crudo was a silky, citrus-kissed dream. For mains, we passed plates of crab pasta, fish & chips, lobster donut (yes, donut -- and yes, it works), and chicken skewers that were grilled to perfection. Dessert was a double hit: affogato espresso martini for the buzz and macarons for the bliss. With an expansive menu, thoughtful plating, and a space that invites you to stay awhile, Extra Wavy is the kind of spot you rave about to friends -- and then immediately book your next reservation. We're already plotting our return. read more

Went to Extra Wavy for dinner.... What a tremendous meal we had. We were too hungry to take pics of the first course, the cacio e pepe veg and pork belly skewers (both absolutely tremendous!!!!). The pork belly melted in my mouth and the sauce it was cooked in was delicious. The cowboy confetti cocktail was like drinking a rainbow. So many flavors hitting at different times. We shared the crab pasta and the fish and chips.... Lots of crab and delicious breadcrumbs on the rich creamy pasta. The fish's batter was the best I've had outside of the UK. The batter was perfectly crisp, not oily, and the fish was flakey and delicious. I didn't even use the tartar sauce.... And the salt and vinegar chips were addictive!!!!! No room for dessert. Definitely going back ASAP! Impeccable service as well read more

We stopped in on opening night a few weeks ago because we heard the hype! And they were right. Staff was awesome and welcoming, and for a new restaurant, I was so impressed about how they knew so much about the different cocktails and menu items. You don't find that very often. I'll have to go back and try more food in the future, as we had already had dinner before this so just snacked on cocktails and some light apps. I got the plot twist- reposado tequila,sour cherry, maraschino, walnut, lime, pistachio foam. Let's just say I was intrigued. And OMG was it amazing. I would've never thought to mix those things together. We also ordered the Hamachi Crudo and the whipped ricotta. Yes yes yes!!! Also ordered were the salt and vinegar fries with Calabrian honey aioli . Can't go wrong there. Will 100% be back. read more

Highly anticipated third opening from one of my favorite restaurants, Yellowbelly. Very seafood focused menu, we started with their baked oysters which were small, and kind of went as quickly as they came. The hamachi crudo was a vibrant opening bite, but proved to be too citrus dominant. A lot of the rave is going to their lobster donut, which was honestly pretty good, but about halfway through, you sort of just wish you were eating a lobster roll instead. The donut is by far the best part of the dish, though. Best thing we tried, I would say, were their skewers. Well executed and the flavors just came through super well. I think this was a solid showing from the restaurant group, but I really don't see a reason why you wouldn't just go to Yellowbelly instead. They don't quite do anything better than either of their sister spots, and they lack the punchiness of what made their original location so great. Favorite dishes: Skewers, fries, affogato read more
