Great happy hour options! This place has excellent service and friendly staff. I sat at the bar and was constantly checked on. My water was filled all the time and the food was delicious. I had happy hour oysters and the lobster donut roll. As other people mentioned, the lobster roll is a crab roll with some lobster, not much. It is still tasty though. You need to add the salt and vinegar fries. I ate it all! So addicting!! The oysters were fresh and the pink peppercorn & cucumber mignonette was perfect! I ordered a French 75 for my drink and it was strong but didn't taste strong. Excellent place to go for happy hour. I would recommend!
Lovely and delicious! Stopped for a quick late dinner bite and throughly enjoyed our experience. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and could answer our questions easily. Overall, the restaurant has a fun theme to it and is an intimate space. We started with some oysters and the hamachi crudo, which were both fresh tasting and so so delicious! Their burger was very satisfying and cooked well. Absolutely will stop in again for the great food!
Extra Wavy is a coastal seafood spot that mixes European coast vibes with East Coast influence. The menu is pretty unique for St. Louis, and they make their own breads and pastas. I was impressed by the wine list, especially the nearly 15 options by the glass. The atmosphere was lively the night we went, which made sense for a new place getting good reviews. Everyone at the table loved the Summer Aquash appetizer, and the agrodolce sauce was a standout. I had the grilled salmon, which was delicious. My friends ordered the Wavy Burger and the Lamb Burger, and while they left the buns, they cleaned up the meat. The only miss for me was the oysters, which weren't as cold as I would've liked. I'm pretty particular about oysters. The service was good overall, though when the food came out, no one explained what each dish was. We ended up figuring it out by comparing everything to the menu. We went on a busy night, and the energy really added to the experience. I'd definitely go back with friends to try a few more dishes and another glass of wine.
Located relatively close to Lafayette Square, Extra Wavy is a bright, spacious restaurant with a great cocktail, wine and liquor selection along with some delicious food options. They run happy hour (called Wavy Hour) Tuesday through Friday, 5-6pm. It's a short window but if you can catch it, it's worth it. I made a 5:45pm reservations because honestly I like to dine when the restaurant is still somewhat calm. It was already hopping when we got there. We each ordered a cocktail from their happy hour menu and some popcorn shrimp. I had a melon drop fizz (Amalfi mandarino, aperol, cantaloupe, sparkling wine and sparking water and lemon) take on the spritz and my husband had the basil coconut smash (Blanco tequila, coconut tequila, green aperitif, basil, lime). I liked my spritz. It was refreshing as advertised. The popcorn shrimp was so good! They used a seasoning that I can only describe as fantastic. It had a great overall savory flavor but mot overwhelmingly salty. For my entrée, I ordered the crab pasta. True to its name, the pasta delivered a wonderful seafood and crab flavors and yes, there was a lump of crab meat in the middle. The sauce was creamy and delicious. It was a large portion for me. My husband had the stuffed pasta. His was a smaller portion. There was a bit of inconsistency with the portions in my opinion but not going to complain much since I ended up getting another meal out of my entrée. For dessert, I couldn't choose just one and I am a sucker for sticky toffee pudding so we ordered that and I also was curious about the affogato martini. My verdict: the sticky toffee pudding was too sweet for my preference and I still would rather have a normal affogato. Service was great; friendly and smiling and never left with an empty glass of water. We left full and in very good spirits.
3.5/5 stars. Really cute restaurant with nice decor and ambience. Seated promptly for our reservation. Drinks: I started with a Chin Music, which wasn't my favorite. It was very sparkling-wine forward, similar to a rosé. My dining partner got a Golden Coast to start and was similarly not impressed in terms of old fashioneds, expected more excitement from the plum brandy and felt like it was a drink you could make at home. He got a Chill Wave next which was delicious and had a complex and satisfying flavor profile. Food: started with the pork belly skewers which were INCREDIBLE. No notes. Then a e had the Wavy Burger and the Crab Pasta. My burger was fine, the patty was well cooked and well seasoned. He liked his pasta just fine. Overall, not our favorite place we've dined this year, which seems to be a hot take compared to how everyone else has felt about it. Maybe it'll be your favorite place, too.
This is currently my #1 place in St. Louis. I cannot put into words how good this place is. The crab pasta is AMAZING and the Plot Twist drink is heavenly. Their homemade focaccia appetizer was delicious, as well as the lobster donut. The sticky toffee pudding we ordered for dessert was one of the best desserts we've had. I loved the decor and vibe of the locations. Service was phenomenal.
We got a last minute resy after our other plans fell through. We've been here before, sat at the bar, and loved it. This time we got a table and everything was still nice but different . Great service, drinks, and food. The mushroom toast and sourdough were phenomenal, Unfortunately, my boyfriend got the crab pasta and didn't like it. I loved the ravioli stuffed pasta and would order it again. I prefer the vibes at the bar compared to the seating area so when we return it will be at the bar!
I finally made it to Extra Wavy during Friday happy hour with friends. They were able to seat us at opening without a reservation so we were thankful. The happy hour menu had great options it was so hard to decide. I got an old fashioned and we ordered a few small plates. What we actually loved the best were the vinegar fries! We ordered seconds to go with our second cocktail. The ambiance is also so fun it's a great place to get together with friends or on a date.
Came here for happy hour and it did not disappoint!! They have great HH pricing. Lovely ambiance and drinks. The wallpaper and decor is super fun. We got there right around 4:30, plenty of parking and it was basically empty! It realllly filled up within the next hour! I really enjoyed the popcorn shrimp and yummy curry aioli it came with! The fries were tasty but a little on the crunchy/burnt side. The oysters were fresh and delicious. Super clean. Also loved the little sauce it came with! The meatball sandwich was okay, I probably wouldn't get that again! Can't wait to go back! There's so many items on the menu I can't wait to try!
A fun new raw bar addition to STL. The space is large and has a parking lot right in front there enough space in the restaurant to host all your guests. It's wheelchair friendly but a host may need to grab the door for you. The staff was phenomenal and never missed a beat. The vibes are great! And fun note all their greens are grown in house! The seafood was fresh and very bright! I would love to see a full raw menu when they hit their 1 year of service. The scallop crudo had texture but the raw oysters had the perfect cucumber mignonette! The baked oysters could have been harder but that sauce was fire! Each went well with my Mayday cocktail. Unfortunately the lamb meatballs were a miss as they flavors are not too common to my taste and unfortunately my bread had that burnt taste from the grill. The viral crab pasta was also not very crabby and overly bready. I would add more crab or lessen the amount of pasta to balance. The desserts also need a rework because the flavors were not what you would think for sticky toffee pudding or pistachio ice cream. There are more menu items to explore so I will be back! I am very interested in what this restaurant has in store for us!
Checked out Extra Wavy recently with a friend and really enjoyed it. We were there as they opened so it was really open but filled in well. We wanted to try the happy hour specials, and we really enjoyed all the things we ordered. The oysters are flown in fresh daily and I could tell the wait person knew what's up by the way she described the type of oysters they had that day. The cocktails were great as was a chicken sandwich on the happy hour menu, but for us the fish & chips were a big standout!
Overall an enjoyable experience! Staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Seated at the bar made for a more engaging experience as a diner of 1. Started with a Whiskey Smash w/Buffalo Trace, which was very well balanced and a little too easy to drink. Lol At the recommendation of the bartender, tried the Lobster Donut with Fries. The fries were delicious and the house sauce that is served with them balances the seasoning. The Lobster Donut, while I finished it, I didn't find it memorable. Primarily because it's called a Lobster Donut, but it was 85% crab meat. It's called a Donut because of how they make the bread, but don't be concerned, it's not a sweet entree. Moving on from there, I tried a Mar-Tiny Espresso Martini which is a mini cocktail and it was delicious! From there, the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It's a large dessert, enough for 2 to enjoy. It's definitely sweet and the ice cream was a nice support for the rich cake.
Went in for a bday celebratory dinner. The service was excellent. The wait staff was prompt, made suggestions, was alert to my boyfriend's allergies, happily exchanged a cocktailI was not a fan of. We ordered Caesar & oysters on happyhour. The oysters were so delicious. Just oysters & a mignonette. No crackers, hot sauce or cocktail sauce. But i didnt mind bc i was there for the oysters. $18 for 6 on hh special. Also ordered a burger & lobster "donut". The burger was good- i dont know that it was anything special but a solid choice. The lobster donut was a mix of lobster with veggies on a thick piece of bread. Not a fan personally. The lobster taste was hidden in the "salad" & the bread was thick & overpowering. Really enjoyed the decor of the restaurant. The wallpaper is fun. The nets from the ceiling & the wall decor make for a fun space. It was quite loud & I had a hard time hearing my dinner companions & the restaurant wasn't close to full to capacity
Extra Wavy is a very vibey and fun spot to snag a meal with friends. You might not immediately think that Saint Louis and Lobster Roll would go in the same sentence but Extra Wavy does a fantastic job of bringing fresh seafood concepts to life in the midwest and I really enjoyed my meal here. First of all the cocktails are wonderful. I'm an old fashioned girlie and their version did not let me down. My friends got some different, more unique drinks though that were really inventive and the sip I had of one of them confirmed that they do taste as good as they look. The lobster roll doughnut I had was really fun, and I'd definitely try it again, though I think sharing it with a friend along with a big side order of their fries might be the winning move here. I don't live in STL so not sure when I'll be back but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot to others as it really is a little gem of a restaurant. read more
Extra Wavy is Ross Geller. Main character, well liked, smart, and trying a little too hard in every scene, here every dish has their 'take' even if it's not needed. You'll enjoy the evening. You'll also catch yourself thinking, Ross, relax, the lobster is fine on a regular bun. Like friends, the environment is relaxed, and winks at the long john silver's concept of hanging fish nets from the ceiling or perhaps that's the east coast ambiance? We came as a party of ten for a friend's 40th, so weigh the service notes with that in mind. The staff kept water glasses full and drink orders moving, and entrées landed on time. Our appetizers did not. Twenty minutes in, I asked to add one, and the whole set arrived together, which tells me the first order never made it to the kitchen. The focaccia with romesco butter and the pomegranate pork belly skewers were worth the wait. The fried polenta was fine, but I was there for the spiced jam under it. The Golden Coast Old Fashioned was excellent, nearly the best thing I had all night. Fair warning on the fish and chips: the crust is thick and heavy, and you need to want that. The salt and vinegar fries are terrific and punishingly salty, so order them as a shared side, not a full plate. This is decadent, salt-forward food, and Extra Wavy knows it. The Wavy Burger (two thin smashed patties, manchego, pickles, sofrito aioli, crispy guanciale) was the plate worth reordering. A friend swears she dreams of the crab pasta, it's good. A friend hyped the lobster donut roll, and it was fine. Our friend with no expectations loved it. Manage yours. I tried my first oysters here. People who like oysters say these are good. I am not such a person. Sea snot is a texture I can skip. The sticky toffee pudding, on the other hand, I would drive back for multiple times. 4.0 out of 5 starts A signature dish that lands on the first try, and appetizers that show up on time, get this to the mid fours. read more
Hit the spot! This downtown STL restaurant came highly rated and highly recommended, and I thought it was very good. Service was friendly, albeit it a tad delayed. I was going to go mocktail, but having just driven in a construction filled, semi-truck infested 4 hours down I-70, I needed the real stuff. I got the Chillwave (kentucky bourbon, san luigi garden amaro, blood orange, fig leaf, cappelletti, lemon) and it was OK, not quite as good as it sounded but solid. For starters we got whipped ricotta (seasonal fruit, serrano ham, balsamic, grilled bread) which was AMAZING and I highly recommend. We also got chicken thigh skewers, but let's just say no one was meeting their macros with these tiny, tiny little skewers we ended up with. I was starving and ended up with the fish and chips and they were so good. Very unique and memorable, especially the salt & vinegar fries and remoulade. The fish was super crispy and flavorful. All in all, I'm a fan. I continue to find good spots to eat in STL and this joins that ever growing list! read more

The perfect place for a happy hour, birthday celebration, etc. I love the way they have decorated this space with funky wall paper and their green/pink color scheme. They have a parking lot too or you can opt for street parking. Celebrated my birthday here and really loved the cocktail offerings, food, and service. I got the hot take and my partner got the golden coast both delicious and very strong! For food, we started with oysters (the cucumber mignonette was such a perfect pairing) and hamachi crudo. Both of this dishes were a fresh and light start to our meal. For our mains we orders the fish and chips and the crab pasta! It was so good and filling. We finished the night with the chocolate cake! To die for and not heavy at all. Great meal, service, and ambiance! read more
I truly can't say enough good things about this place. The service is top notch - attentive and incredibly knowledgeable on the menu. A perfect spot for a solo dinner, date night or girls night. My top picks: the espresso martini (wow, the fig leaf elevates this), the salt and vinegar fries (probably one of my favorite bites in STL), wavy burger, and espresso martini affogato for dessert. Order the salt & vinegar fries - thank me later! 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
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

My first time here didn't disappoint!! I love how cute the inside is. I did have to idk across the street because no parking was available in the lot but it wasn't too far. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our server was wonderful but I didn't don't remember his name. Highly recommend coming during happy hour and getting the popcorn shrimp and salt and vinegar fries. I got the lobster roll which was absolutely to die for. The mayday was my drink of choice and absolutely delicious as well. Only drawback to this place is it's VERY pricey but going during happy hour helps a lot. I'll be back! read more
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

The restaurant is adorable and the service was fabulous.. but the food was lacking. The Caesar salad was too lemony, as were all the crab items (Lobster Donut Roll and Crab Pasta). The fish and chips were both beyond over fried. The braised beef short rib was too fatty for my liking. The macaroons were teeny-tiny and three-dollars per individual macaroon.. we received a scoop of free chocolate ice cream, which my companions thought was spoiled, but I think it must have been dark chocolate mixed with something else?? -Not sure.. We really enjoyed the romesco butter and the whipped ricotta though. The bread was to die for; it was very fresh and our server said it had sweet potato and molasses in it. Although we weren't fans, the place was popping. Everyone, except for us, seemed to be enjoying themselves and their meals. read more
Really loved the vibe of this place and our server was super attentive and friendly. My friend and I got a cosmo and a French 75 which were both good but I preferred the French 75. My friend also wanted to try the lobster roll and she enjoyed it but said it didnt have much lobster in it and was surprised that the fries cost extra. I tried a few of her fries and thought they were great with the hot honey aioli. Would definitely order those during happy hour next time I visit. read more

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

Gosh I cannot say enough wonderful things about Extra Wavy!! The vibes here are perfectly crafted - ideal spot for a cute girls night out on the town. Starting with the cocktails - you just cannot go wrong. Everything is aesthetic, stunning, delicious. I loved the spicy marg I got (forgot the cutesy name but it was so good) and wanted to try so many of the others! We ordered several plates to share and everything was delicious - the lobster donut roll is an absolute must. I'm not a big fries person, but the salt and vinegar fries that come with the lobster roll stole the show. We also ordered the crab pasta and we were obsessed - the noodles were so whimsical so fun. The desserts were equally impressive and worth trying - I'll be back and I won't stop talking about how incredible and chic this place is!! 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

Extra Wavy is a really fun addition to the STL food scene. The atmosphere is upbeat and stylish with that cool bar energy that makes it perfect for a night out. It feels social, a little buzzy, and great for sharing plates with friends. Cocktails were excellent and the food was fresh and creative. The lobster roll The menu has a lot of interesting options that make you want to order a few things for the table and try a bit of everything. read more
extra wavy was such a treat! First of all the ambience of the restaurant is so cute and unique. I absolutely love the design. To start we both got cocktails that were delicious. And we got salt and vinegar, fries and popcorn shrimp as appetizers. Both were amazing. I didn't expect this restaurant to have such great fries, but man, you have to try them. For my main entrée, I got the donut lobster roll. It taste as good as it looks. I'm very excited to come back and try something else. 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 back for a light dinner - my husband and I split the burger and upgraded to salt and vinegar fries. Holy crap these fries are awesome. Great service again. Drinks were awesome. Definitely a cool spot that we'll be back to. 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
Been back 2x and can't recommend the fish & chips and crab pasta highly enough.... We got them both times . Massive piece of fresh fried fish with my favorite salt & vinegar fries. Oysters & mignonette are delightful, as are the crudos. A surprisingly large & busy space. Love this as a great dinner spot before bopping around the Lou! 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
