But that being said there were a lot of GREAT things about this restaurant so I'll start there. The restaurant itself it's so moody and vibey I LOVED it, was such a good place for a date night, our waiter was so attentive, helped with all of our questions and a very patient with us as we worked through the menu. 10/10 service! We got the dumpling and pork bun appetizer and both were AMAZING, seriously the pork bun?? I could have eaten 1000 of them. Next was the sushi, I got the Atlantic hand roll and another member of the table got the rainbow roll, both were very fresh and flavorful, highly recommend. Next was the entree, I got the pork belly ramen, as a huge ramen fanatic I was SO excited, especially following up our appetizers, the bar was set high and unfortunately I was so disappointed. The broth was not very good and everything so extremely salty, I couldn't even eat the mushrooms in the bowl because they soaked up so much of the broth and it was like a salt bomb in my mouth. The pork belly was cooked well and I did really enjoy that, but for a $20 bowl of ramen, it really fell flat for me. I also got the sweet heat cocktail, and it also wasn't for me, cocktails are so personal so it's not that I wouldn't recommend someone try it, it's just that I didn't hit for me, and that was the general consensus of the table. While I had a great night, I would probably try a different restaurant for Asian food before I came back to this one!

Went here for lunch last weekend and had some delicious ramen! I got the Blade Runner, mild, but it…read morestill had a little kick, and my friend got the vegetarian, and both were excellent! The food came out fast and hot, there was ample seating and parking, and really it's all about the food! The ambiance is a little... stale, but the food more than makes up for it! I also didn't love the music they had going, but I still won't lower my five-star rating! Ha!

First off, the taste levels this place cranks out are quite impressive in seemingly everything they…read moredo from the egg rolls, to the rice and poke bowls, to the gourmet sammiches that they tackle - like fried/buffalo/Nashville chicken, takes on bahn mi and even Cajun and catfish! That said I've now tried three different and creative takes on ramen here and have liked each one more than the last - making it the real star of the show here. First it was the Chicago-style Italian beef with giardineira, then the spicy beef birria style, then my surprise fave, the Mega City bowl with chicken curry, peanuts and 3 potsticker dumplings on top! The service is fast and efficient in a venue (the back half of the VFW) that clearly lacks ambiance. The prices are admittedly a bit steep (except for domestics at the back bar) but you will be blown away by the flavors and you certainly won't walk away hungry. My only other advice....try not to ruin the shirt you have on when you go, in fact you might care to bring or fashion a bib, cuz most of these flavors will leave permanent stains!

Initial impression after two 'partial' visits...if you don't mind waiting (or are partial to a…read moredelayed carry-out/delivery and you don't mind lemon pepper seasoning, there are fantastic fried wings and fish at this place. Not quite as light and airy of a batter as say 'On The Hook' fried fish, but the cornmeal crust here is tasty without being overly greasy and is liberally tossed with the aforementioned LP. For the first visit I was happy to see what looked like a pile of freshly fried wings come out through the kitchen window, and in kind ordered us only wings and drinks. They were hot and tasty, but still took 15 mins. The second visit was just for the fish and I watched them dredge and fry it. Turnaround time, just under 15 mins. Neither scenario was during peak lunch or dinner rush (2 & 3 pm timeframes) but in both cases the lot was fairly full and there were ~10-12 patrons, mostly waiting. Like everything in BloNo, I'll wait for things to die down a bit before trying what looks like a way more sizeable menu (Italian beef's?) than I anticipated.

I can't believe this place gets 4 1/2 stars! It's just Cisco food. Cisco is a restaurant supply…read morecompany. Not only is it all Cisco food, it's the lower end Cisco products. I guess small town clientele don't want to pay for farm to fork locally sourced whole foods. for example, instead of real maple syrup,, it's the fake corn syrup variety of maple syrup.. I asked for half-and-half with my coffee, they pointed to the non dairy Coffee mate coffee creamer. I got waffles and instead of butter, they just offer whipped spread that is hydrogenated vegetable oil. Farmers used to be into real farm products. it looks like there's a lot of farmers in here, but they are happy with the ultra processed fake alternatives to farm fresh foods. The bacon was also not crispy. I might normally give a place like this two stars, but their current star rating needs a reality check. The service was fine.

We had eaten at Baxters before and really enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful pasta dishes. But…read moretoday we wanted a good steakhouse steak dinner. We started off with shrimp cocktail. It was fine, though the cocktail sauce could have used a little more horseradish. The basket of warm bread and whipped butter was great. And The salads were excellent (we went for a standard greens salad and a Caesar salad). For the main dish, we each ordered a bacon wrapped filet, medium rare, with Brussels sprouts. The filets were prepared as directed, but seemed dry, tough and flavorless. Disappointed. But worse was the Brussels sprouts (one of our favorites). The sprouts were hard, woefully undercooked and crunchy. Not in a good way. The flavor was lost in the rough texture. Very disappointed. The staff seemed a little flustered too. Brought a side a sautéed onions when we'd ordered mushrooms. Too bad, as we had enjoyed our pasta meals before and had expected a steakhouse to perform better.

So we've been coming here since it opened and in fact had been to its predecessor in St. Louis…read morebefore that. We're pretty familiar with what they used to, and are trying, to be and while we have come to expect lofty goals, it seems like the longer in the tooth this place gets, the more they lose focus. Our most recent Valentines visit reinforced this with some disappointing bar service and a 'special featured' appetizer that took our disappointment to the next level. I get that on a busy night like Valentines, stuff happens, but in this case it was still relatively early (5:30 pm) and they had more than enough employees, it's just that those workers constantly stepped on each other, ignored customers for lengthy stretches, and missed a few details that used to come naturally at this place. Combine that with food delivery confusion and a complete fail on the supposed special feature of "sealed scallops with risotto" app and it left us feeling unfulfilled on what should have been a romantic visit. The next time they offer the scallop app, we strongly suggest they actually do more than wave one side of the scallop over a lukewarm-warm pan (nothing that resembles a 'sear') and figure a way to cut the greasiness of the garlic rice dollops without covering everything in pea tendrils such that you don't notice the lack of sear marks and oily pooling. We give the place three stars based on the still modern and comfortable decor, nice ambiance, robust cocktail & beer selection and the execution of the Tuna Tartare - still one of the lady's favorite bites in town. Perhaps it's just a management/training issue, but it touches both the kitchen and the floor and will hopefully be addressed before our next visit.

It felt understaffed on the day we came, and took a little bit of time. Not enough to cause any real issues, but everything was coming out a bit slow. My BB chicken wrap was really good; some of the menu items on the ordering kiosk had robust descriptions, and some didn't, so I don't remember much about it other than it tasted good. Sauces were tasty too. The fries were great, glad we got some for the table. My daughter really wanted a burger and we didn't realize it was spiced and different than what she'd hoped for (not necessarily that spicy IMO but it was to her). The fruit smoothies were good and enjoyed cooling off and ending the meal with those. Nice, healthier option and overall a good experience!
