And the happy hour is crazy good! On a nice day there is nowhere nicer than the patio and tonight the happy hour was GLORIOUS. I do like sitting inside as well but with this weather you couldn't make me go inside. I have had brunch here quite a few times, dinner too, but as I said today was happy hour. That means the burger. It is absolutely one of the best I have had. I take it as offered but love that they always ask if I want modifications. Look at that burger! And the shoestring potatoes are marvelous too! We had the chips & cheese and olive appetizers to snack on as burgers were getting made and we each had a cocktail. Love that the service is attentive and friendly (Brian was great tonight). But also love that I never feel rushed to turn the table over. And the happy hour from 5-6 means that burger is close in price to tha burgers at Shake Shack and I guarantee you will enjoy this far more. I have had great dishes of all sorts here but I sometimes have to give in to the burger... it never lets me down!

I love dirty martinis and got their black and blue martini. The spicy bitters are spicy for sure. As one that likes spicy, I thought it was weird in a martini. It was a strong drink though. Ordered the French onion soup, as this was the reason I came. Taste was great, but the soup had a thicker consistency than I was used to. As others have said, lots of cheese on top, which isn't necessarily bad.

I ordered the trout which came with veggies and mashed potatoes. The trout was a little overdone which was disappointing but it was still quite edible. The rest of the meal was delicious. Including the rolls they bring out for the table. My friends indicated they really liked their food. Good wine selection- 4 of us loved the Bordeaux Blanc. Very cute place with touches to make it feel more authentic.

There's SO much seating, the restaurant is deceptively large. We had a reservation and were able to sit right away. Our waiters were great - very friendly and helpful. We ended up getting the onion tart and the smoked trout for our apps. Both were delicious and I'd recommend. For the main course I got the lamb which was amazing. I don't normally like meat like this, but it was so tender and the sides it came with were delicious. For dessert we got the chocolate mousse and some kind of chocolate tart? They were both really good and I'd recommend those as well. My dad and his gf love wine tastings, and the waiter helped us to set up a mini wine taste test for the table! This made the night really special and we really appreciated the care and thought that the staff put into our evening! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

I'd gotten steak the night before so went with the chicken. Very flavorful, juicy & good sauce. Very attentive hostess set the stage for a lovely night.

I was a bit worried about topping my wine when I reached over - clearly not a show stopper.

Food and drinks were great. No complaints there…read more Our party of 4 was on time but the kitchen was slow. The bill came 1 hour 35 mins after we were seated. After we paid (and tipped 30%), we were abruptly told by the hostess to leave the table and move outside to finish the drinks we had just ordered. We awkwardly gathered our belongings without protest and were rushed outside unassisted, with the other patrons staring at us. As we exited, we heard the server reappear and graciously apologize to the waiting party, offering them champagne. The table outside was set when we arrived but then actively cleared by the busser after we sat down. No one came back to check in. We felt unwelcome and quickly left. It was unnecessarily uncomfortable and put a damper on what was supposed to be a celebratory meal. This was a service failure. I understand the need to turn tables over quickly, but we should have been given at least 5 minutes notice, especially when the kitchen is running behind. Alternatively, the drinks could have been taken off the bill and we could have left outright. Even help moving or any involvement from our server or the manager would have been appreciated, but they were not present. Having had many great experiences at Vicia, I expected more from the take root hospitality group. We'll give Vicia another chance, but I'll be cautious about trying one of their sister restaurants again With the impending closure, this one may have already given up.

We sat on the patio and started with a bottle of wine and the bruschetta app. With so many meat & cheese options, we couldn't all agree on charcuterie to split, so we all ended up getting our own personal Pick 2 boards. I went with the red dragon mustard cheddar and cotswold with Genoa and peppered salames. The board is served with crackers, olives, dried fruit, a nuts, and dark chocolate and I ate every morsel! We also got the chocolate salame dessert which is a sliced chocolate roll with pistachios and was DELICIOUS. The seating outside was nice but a bit loud from street traffic. I didn't make my way inside, but am looking forward to checking it out next time. Service was pretty attentive considering we were outside and it was a pretty busy evening. I will definitely be back to explore more of this menu!!

So finally made it here..! We reserved a month in advance through their insta page where they post…read more all their upcoming events. We got in around 6.30 pm to enjoy drinks on the patio. It is tucked away in cottleville and is like dining at someone's home. The host and hostess were warm and welcoming! Each dish was explained in detail and there were personal touches on every aspect of the meal. The meal itself was brought out course by course and each dish was spectacularly plated. We opted for cocktails but you can go for wine pairing as well. No review or picture can do justice to this meal- you have to experience it yourself. Well worth the cost!

We've been here several times for their wine pairing dinners, and I am always completely blown away; and that's putting it mildly. The space is just gorgeous. There's this moment when you're driving up in the dark, and suddenly you see this illuminated farmhouse in all of its glory, and you just know it's going to be a special evening. Their wine pairing dinners sell out quickly, so keep your eyes on their website and social media. I'd also recommend waiting for a dinner when you know you're going to love every single course, only because the dinners are quite expensive. We recently went to their white truffle dinner and had, hands down, the best dining experience of our lives. Show up early--I believe you can get to your table an hour before the dinner begins--and let their talented team craft you a cocktail. From there, you can definitely expect top-tier plates and expertly-paired wines. Truly, it's just a delightful experience from beginning to end. I'm always so shocked that this is all going down in Cottleville! We'll be back many times, if we're lucky.

The cocktail menu and RW menu were fabulous, and yet bringing it all to life with effusive knowledge and enthusiasm about the various dishes was our outstanding server, Corinthian. She shared interesting and incredible insight on each offering, making us feel valued and appreciated patrons, advising based on our interests and likes to help us make decisions. Each of us was pleased with our various selections. While the soups were tempting on a cold night, I was delighted with the French-inspired Lyonnaise salad complete with a perfectly prepared soft boiled egg. My panko-encrusted swordfish with burre Blanc sauce was light and tasty. The gooey butter beignets were light on the gooey butter custard-like filling, as promised by our server (and more special than the typical St. Louis dessert), sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate. The ample dessert (3) provided take home leftovers for delicious breakfast treats. The cocktails I enjoyed included a Japanese Old Fashioned & an Espresso Martini, both very good. Initially upon arrival, an adjacent table of younger women was unusually loud (in a space that doesn't absorb noise well) that I feared would spoil our evening; rather than approach them (tempted) or engage management, I glared a few times at them and it seemed to have resolved. Overall, this was a very enjoyable, comfortable, and satisfying dinner; we would return.

Oh that was a yes. French onion soup was ok too, but honestly it could've been thicker. But when you pay 19 bucks for a burger and they hand you those little packaged mustard packets like a fast food place? Oh come on now. At least put ketchup and mustard bottles on the table. Our waitress was sweet, but she had too many other obligations going on and we got cheated out of refills. We were there during lunch and noticed when customers left, nobody even came by to bus the tables. I'm not sure, but the place kinda feels like it's on its last leg. It could be better. There's room for improvement, I just don't see it happening.

My sister ordered the Mediterranean flatbread and it was weird. Didn't seem to truly be Mediterranean inspired and everyone who tried it disliked it. This place used to be packed and it was mostly empty. The strawberry sangria was SO watered down. I had 3 and didn't feel like I consumed any alcohol & certainly couldn't taste any. It was like watered down strawberry juice. The employees were nice, but they don't check on you at the table. You have to bring your cups and dishes back to the bar when you're done. I just don't know if this place will survive if they don't make some huge changes. My family and I used to love coming here, but the ambiance, food and drink offerings, and service is poor.
