Sadly, I've only been here twice but each time was better than the last. Jordan was our server and…read morewas outstanding from beginning to end. To start, I got a small Caesar. It was filling and the croutons were delicious. Drink wise, I went with the socialista and was pleasantly surprised. It was fruity but not overly sweet. For my entree, I got the steak frites and substituted the side for Brussel sprouts and got the truffle fries based on Jordan's recommendation. The steak was ok, but the chimichurri def made it better. As Jordan mentioned, the fries were a hit. Sadly, the Brussel sprouts were not as I had hoped. I was expecting them to come crispy and seasoned but they weren't. Overall, service was great and the food was just as good.

Fantastic happy hour from 3-5…read more The Elephant Never Forgets is an amazing creation. Best cocktail I've had in quite some time. I usually only have a cocktail when dining out...but I would buy a gallon of this to take home if I could. It's that good! The rest of the cocktail list is full of creativeness and I feel you can't go wrong with any of them. And then the dips! So good plus the homemade pita is delicious. Dinner menu starts at 5 so we stayed to try more of what The Rabbit has to offer. We ordered the onion rings, gnocchi and meatballs. Unexpectedly, the gnocchi was in a light yet very flavorful broth. It was our favorite dish from the dinner menu. The onion rings were okay and pretty greasy. The labneh sauce was the standout part of the onion rings. The meatballs were also flavorful with a hint of spice yet a tad bit dry. Still worth ordering.

We ordered the NOR and Lillian's revenge cocktails, onion rings, mac & cheese, red snapper, pork tenderloin, and gooey butter cake. I love it when I get to experience flavors I've never had before and every dish gave me a revelation. The cocktails were perfectly balanced, the pork was cooked sous vide and so succulent, and the veggies were tender with drool-worthy flavor. Most of all, everything tasted so delicious and real. It was also not too expensive for this high quality of dining, delivered with warm, genuine service. Our dining experience was an incredible 10/10. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and can't wait to return.

The inside was very busy but looked awesome from what I could see. Everyone from the hostess to our server was so welcoming. We went to lunch here with someone whom is local and has been here before. I can see why they brought us here! Let's talk about the food now...wow! We consumed everything! I had the Chicken Salad Sandwich and it was sooooo good! The croissant bun was perfect. I would absolutely recommend SqWires! We will be back! Definitely recommend!

Although I usually love this place I have to go with 4 stars on my recent visit. The mussels and…read moreshrimp were not good at all. Half of the mussels tasted very fishy, at least 4-5 were not open (so not safe to eat) and the shrimp were overcooked. Our waitress, offered to bring me something else but I declined. The bread that is served with dish was super yummy. I like dipping it in the broth from mussels. My friend loved her veggie lasagna which was literally all veggies- no noodles. We were pleasantly surprised that there was entertainment on a Thursday evening. Our service was good too. We waited only a little bit for a table as we had not made a reservation.

They still have a happy hour menu daily from 3p-6p, all day on Monday, but the options have changed. Double Cream Brie Burger $23 - Australian wagyu beef, crispy prosciutto, fig coulis, arugula, and fries. The burger was juicy and tasty and the fries were thin and crispy.

There's something about a place in Clayton insisting: don't call me a wine bar, I'm a wine dive…read more Okay. We see you. You're a wine bar. Nothing divey about a hip cocktail or hip deviled eggs -- these are sophisticated modern twists, the exact move wine bars make and dives don't. A chalkboard of specials and weathered seating gesture at the aesthetic; the rest of the room knows. Kendall Roy of restaurants -- comes from privilege, wants badly to be of the people. It's a bit, and mostly the kitchen and bar back it up. Nevertheless, we arrived to a full room, hour wait for a table, but we fortunately arrived to snag the last first come patio table. The bar was also full, by the way, which felt neighborhood like, people clearly like this place during happy hour. The old fashioned makes the case: Old Grand-Dad Bonded, pickled rye, cognac, butterscotch bitters. Two whiskeys and a bitter you won't find at an actual dive. Rich, a little sweet. The harissa deviled eggs keep going -- fried shallots, roasted red peppers, cilantro, marinated tomato jam. You know, just like the old dive with the $1 PBR.Deviled eggs for people that don't like deviled eggs. However, we love deviled eggs...foreshadowing. The short ribs are the headline -- fall-apart tender over whipped potatoes substantial enough to stand up to the meat, gravy spot on. Eats like a perfectly executed roast dinner. The brie burger is the sneaky second hit, genuinely decadent, bacon with the cheese melting into the beef. The service was good and pleasant and that felt more like dive-friendly, where you might expect a wine "bar" to be snooty or full of themselves. 4.4 Stars Picking Nits: hip deviled eggs that reach past what they can hold. Tomato jelly on top is a lot going on, in the wrong way, and the egg disappears under it. These are trying to be hip deviled eggs more than they're trying to be good deviled eggs. Every ambitious kitchen has one plate that tries too hard; this appears to be one. A 5 needs those eggs landing, in the same way the entrees excelled. Regardless, we'll be back.

Absolutely special place. This restaurant reminds us of what Wright's Tavern pretends to be--and…read morenever will be, no matter how much its patrons pretend otherwise. First, you can actually get in here--and you can make a reservation more than 30 days in advance, which is refreshing in itself. There's no favoritism, no cheesy American Express concierge games, and none of the pretentiousness or snobbery that can sometimes come with certain Clayton establishments and their location. Here, the focus is simply on the food, the service, and making guests feel welcome. Second, you don't leave smelling like exhaust and cooking grease the way you do at Wright's. Third, the cuisine is simply better than Wright's and, frankly, better than almost anywhere else in the St. Louis area--including Eleven Eleven. The menu is remarkably unique and original, with a real sense of creativity behind the dishes. And perhaps best of all, you're not sitting six inches from the next table. You can actually have a private conversation without everyone around you hearing every word. This place is a reminder of just how special St. Louis truly is when it comes to dining. The halibut and Caesar salad were both outstanding, the service was exceptional, and everyone here was incredibly warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth. The filet was on par with Citizen Kane's, which is no small achievement. A truly spectacular restaurant. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Stew's Way chicken that had an amazing sauce and the Brussels Sprouts in an Asian sauce and both were delicious, but my only issue was the high amount of salt and it was pretty prevalent from the first bite. Other than that, I enjoyed good meal and a beer there. I'd like to come back and try some more items on the menu..

For the grilled over charcoal portion of the menu, we enjoyed the the Denver steak and skirt steak. For the side, you can't go wrong with the fire baked potato with truffle fonduta. Dessert: The limoncello tiramisu is delightful and fresh. The homemade chocolate truffles are made by Chef's mom and are a must try menu item. Ambiance: Warm and intimate with great music playing in the background. Staff: Ellie was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided excellent recommendations. Jonathan's keen sense of hospitality and operational excellence further enhances the restaurant experience.

I was excited to try Esca after friends were raving about it. My husband and I dined here for our…read moreanniversary meal, and I wish we would have chosen a place with a little more enthusiasm and less pretension. The server seemed annoyed with being there, never asked my husband if he wanted a refill, took forever to check on us, and messed up the bill, which I didn't catch until after signing it. I've been to plenty of fine dining restaurants where our server has introduced themselves and asked about the occasion, and this place did none of that. Esca has the service of a fast casual restaurant- zero rapport with the customer. Oh and I was charged a 20% service fee. Super tacky to do that for a table of two at a nice restaurant. Bruschetta was such a small portion and flavorless. The artichokes claimed to have anchovy but my husband said he couldn't taste any, so he essentially got a tiny $20 artichoke as an appetizer. My $16 spritz was so loaded with ice I had maybe three sips of the actual drink. I noticed every other table had bread service but we weren't offered any. Our dinner was finished and I finally asked our server for bread. The best part of my meal was the gelato with olive oil, that's it. I don't think I'll spend the $$ again at this place. It's such a bummer because I had high hopes for a stellar Mediterranean meal.
