They are drinks only however they do have snacks on hand that you can purchase which is cool. We ate before hand but I also seen them bringing out some pack eager ramen so that may be available for purchase as well. I love the uniqueness of the menu and the fact that they allow customer creations to be on the menu as well. Customer service was top tier! The drinks were great I'd give them a 9/10. I will def be back to visit.

The bartender makes a great old fashioned cocktail. It was so smooth. (It wasn't even my drink). They have lots of good wine options too. Meatball appetizer was okay IMO but hubs really liked it. Have to give that bartender a shout out because he was amazing. He did a great job of waiting on a full bar and a very party that came in for happy hour. And he was essentially by himself. No bar back. Sometimes other people did lend a hand but he did the bulk of it. When we sat at our table we also had good service. I again ordered beet salad but then got the gnocchi too. The gnocchi themselves were meh but the sauce was very tasty. The ribeye was very good and cooked just right. Side order of mushrooms were a little disappointing. We finished off with the brownie sundae. Best part of that was the ice cream. I mentioned my husband's birthday when I made the reservation but they didn't acknowledge it at all. That would have been fine except for the table next to us got candle etc for someone's birthday.

I had an incredible time at this year's crawfish boil event, and it truly lived up to the hype…read more From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt lively, welcoming, and full of tradition in the best way. The highlight was definitely the authentic Louisiana-style feast featuring freshly boiled crawfish from Cajun Boil Company. Everything came out perfectly seasoned, and the traditional fixings made the experience feel like a true taste of the South. I also loved that the ticket included a frozen cocktail -- it was strong, refreshing, and the perfect pairing for the spice. The value at $45 for 2 lbs of crawfish, fixings, and a drink felt more than fair for the quality and experience. What made the event even more meaningful was learning about its roots in honor of Al Rubin and his long-standing tradition of hosting crawfish boils for friends and family. It felt really special to be part of something with so much heart behind it. Knowing that all net proceeds benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation made the experience even more impactful. This wasn't just a fun afternoon -- it was a celebration of community, tradition, and giving back. I would absolutely attend again and recommend it to anyone who loves good food with a purpose

I'm not sure what this place even is, despite having dined there yesterday. It serves breakfast,…read morelunch and dinner, and doesn't seem to specialize in anything in particular. It's in a weirdly large building that looks like a place where you'd go to get lasik surgery. I visited after a run on a day where the heat index was like 109, so I didn't spend that much time inside, just enough to drip sweat all over the front counter and the floor in the vestibule. We sat outside in an area that seems like the place where you'd pull up and unload your luggage at a hotel. A member of our group says she once attended some sort of Xmas pop-up in the basement here where you were charged a cover and then expected to pay for drinks and pizza, so... uh, caveat emptor. We ordered at the little bar up front, but I'm not sure if that's also the case if you dine inside. These places always flip out when there's umpteen different people ordering separately, because they only have but so many of those numbers you set on the table so they know where to bring your food. It ended up not being an issue with us, because who else was going to engage in al fresco dining during a heat advisory? This place serves pizza, but it didn't look that good in the few photos I saw. Granted, food often looks like crap in Yelp photos. Also, there's an emphasis on '90s-style health food, organic ingredients and what have you. There's a Salmon BLT that's featured prominently that seemed like it might be the thing to get, but I didn't know enough about this place to be ordering fish, and I'd already been meaning to eat a bacon cheeseburger for the past several days. Maybe next time. There is no bacon cheeseburger as a separate menu item unto itself. I figured I might just order a cheeseburger and add bacon, but I'm not sure if that's an option, and this wasn't a regular cheeseburger. It had a few different weird cheeses on it, spinach and maybe some other things. Then I saw the Dill-bert, which seemed like it might be really good. It has, among other things, dill Havarti cheese (whatever that is), avocado, and of course, bacon. It's served on a wheat bun, which, whatever. Its name is not a tribute to Scott Adams, as far as I know, but this is Ballwin. The Dill-bert did not disappoint. No Diddy. The beef comes from one of those special farms where the cows are all given names as if they were human beings, groomed on a daily basis by trafficking victims and read bedtime stories, and you really can taste the difference. It's a better quality meat. It's also expertly prepared. It's well-seasoned and cooked until it develops a nice char on the exterior. It was a bit more done on the inside than I require, but that may have been unavoidable. For a side, there was an option of tater tots cooked in an air fryer, like if your mom was feeling lazy. I didn't see any french fries, but maybe I'm going blind. I ordered a side salad, which is my thing these days. Sometimes they're surprisingly good, and a french fry is a french fry, unless you're at McDonald's. This one was pretty good, but it was definitely on the health-food side of things--very fresh and lightly but sufficiently dressed with something citrus-y and not too oily. Oh, and I was duped into purchasing a whiskey sour slushie. It just seemed like it would be so refreshing. It must have cost nearly as much as my meal, given what my bill came out to. They must think I'm a sucker. Did they receive advance notice of my visit? It did kinda hit the spot, and I probably got drunker than I would have otherwise, because I was suffering from a minor heatstroke, so there was that.

Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark. The short rib risotto was swimming in gravy and under-seasoned, and the potstickers weren't up to their usual standard. They had much less slaw than normal, and the texture felt overcooked and tougher than expected. That said, our server, the margarita, Nightjar Old Fashioned, barbacoa quesadillas, and tempura were all excellent. What surprised me most, was walking into both the tasting room / restaurant entrance and seeing it filled with boxes and inventory. I've never seen that at a CH property before. It made for a poor first impression here, and really took away from the overall experience. It left me wondering why management hasn't found a better way to handle inventory before service or keep it out of guest-facing spaces.

The food will be very familiar from the perspective that everything we had was excellent. We started with calamari, and to our surprise there were also a small group of onion straws on the plate. It was served with 2 sauces (one marinara and one aioli - both were excellent). Don't skip the fried lemons, they are an added treat. We then moved on to the Napoli salad, it is as described on the menu...crisp, and appropriately dressed. Then we had the special pizza of the evening, it was a black garlic base (not strong) with mushrooms and burrata on top - delicious. We also happen to be sitting next to the area with the pizza oven - a must see if you are there. We did sit inside, but outdoor seating was available. What might not be so familiar, but I thought was great, was a more casual atmosphere, and decor, I would classify is as upscale casual. Our server was very pleasant, the only thing that surprised me was the time in between courses seemed a bit longer than expected, but that gave my friends and I a chance to catch up. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and I will be back!!

I very much enjoy this hotel…read more Located by a mall that's actively being demolished at the time of this review I was just so pleased with how nice it was. It has a very polished look, more on the newer side, and everything about it is convenient. My room was a fairly typical Hyatt Place room - minimalistic, but a lot of space for clothes. Comfortable bed, simple bathroom with awkward lack of convenient storage for my hair products. I was super impressed how quiet it was inside the room. In the hall I could hear everything - a man on a phone call talking angrily, a group of women talking animatedly, a family with young children but upon entering my room silence. The breakfast spread was very nice. The food selection in their Placery was larger than most Hyatt Places - I really enjoyed the pizza. They also offer a lot of cocktails and baked desserts from cookies to giant cinnamon rolls. The staff were delightful. Everyone was so nice! Every time I passed the front desk I was greeted. Every time I ate at the Placery I was welcomed genuinely. It was a great stay and likely will be my go-to location when visiting St Louis.
