    Bread - spreads a sweet and savory option
    Teresa R.

    The vibe was vibing and that helped this 4 star rating. I was so excited to finally dine here and would give it another try. Shout out immediately to the Drinks Menu which is very creative, tasty and with a kick! We started with the Bread service and Caesar Salad. The menu advises that the dressing is anchovie base and that drew me in but it was light to non existent, still a decent salad though. Next the Gnocchi was Soo rich and creamy and I would definitely order this again, it is reminiscent of Mac n Cheese but elevated. Onto the Crawfish Pie, was not really sure what to expect but it delivered! Handheld flaky crust pie packed with crawfish stuffing and served with a sort of stewed tomatoes on the side. The stewed tomatoes were definitely something I would not have ever selected but nice. Service was very attentive!! The menu is Southern eclectic bordering Tapas which I enjoyed.

    Lucy Quinn had ups and downs. In the location of the old beast bbq the space is large. Went on a Saturday night with a friend. Sadly, the restaurant was pretty empty. Oddly they put all of the people that were at the restaurant in the same part of the restaurant. Service was great. The waiter did an amazing job of describing the dishes and the drinks. He was very attentive to us and checked in on us multiple times. The drinks were unique. I tried to and both of them were pretty tasty and different from what I'm used to. The crawfish pie, was really good and delicious but small. We also ordered the barbecue shrimp, and they were pretty good but not what we were expecting. We only got three. The sauce was pretty good though. For entrées, we ordered the pork belly and the chicken. The pork belly was really tough and neither of us ate it. I took it home, hoping I could fix it, but it still was not edible. The chicken was OK nothing special. It had some candy pecans on it, which add some flavor to it, but otherwise was pretty bland For what we paid, I do not think this restaurant was worth it, but I will try the one next-door have a little Lucy.

    Brunch at Lucy Quinn was a whole vibe -- and the fact that it's Black-owned and built with legacy and love made it even more special Chef Ben Welch created this space to honor his grandmother, Lucy -- and you feel her presence in every detail: from the portraits on the walls to the "LL" stamped in the ice cubes. It's soulful. It's intentional. And it's giving generational excellence. I went full Gemini birthday mode and tried nearly everything on the brunch menu Here's what stood out: Smash burger - top-tier, get it. Candied bacon - elite. Buttermilk biscuit with pimento cheese - flavor on point. Deviled eggs - can do no wrong. While not every dish blew me away, there were definitely moments of brilliance -- and with a menu this creative, I'm excited to come back and try more. The drinks? Impeccable. Beautiful, bold, and strong. The service? Warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Food: 3.85/5 Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Also, fun fact: both Chef Ben and his grandmother Lucy were Geminis -- so it felt meant to be to brunch here during peak Gemini szn Can't wait to return and experience Little Lucy, the late-night lounge next door.

    Wait staff was amazing & very informative. Helped with someone in our party w major food allergies- said yes no we can make substitutions etc. the cocktails are on point. The food is good. Soul creole southern. We ordered wings, caesar salad, burger, pork belly, pastrami, bread, gumbo. The Caesar was my favorite. Take or leave the bread. Wings were crispy & smoky. Pastrami was smoky- not my favorite but everyone else seemed to really like it. Definitely worth a visit. Being a nee restaurant they are still working on menu items & this place will probably improve even more over time.

    Wow! Lucy Quinn is exactly what The Grove needed! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love poured into this place. Chef Ben Welch has created something special here and a true tribute to Southern hospitality with a modern, creative twist. Vibes: Cozy, stylish, and full of personality. It's warm and welcoming but still has a little edge. Think Southern charm meets trendy St. Louis dining. Perfect for a fun night out with friends, a date, or honestly, just treating yourself. Food: Everything we tried was chef's kiss. Highlights: The Wings - These smoked wings are next-level. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with smoky, savory goodness. The Burger - Wow. Just wow. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of rich, flavor. Topped with melty cheese and the kind of sauce that makes you want to lick your fingers. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in STL. The Gumbo - Deep, rich, and layered with flavor. Final Verdict: Run, don't walk. Lucy Quinn is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Amazing food, good drinks, and welcoming environment. Already planning my next visit.

    Large, roomy casual dining in Tower Grove area. Upscale brunch offerings from the usual breakfast/ brunch choices. Service could have been more attentive. Had to get up to find a server. Food was delicious!

    Wanda H.

    The food was amaaaazing! Everything I tasted, including other people's (Potato Wedges, Smoked Catfish Hash Browns, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Candied Bacon...) was just wonderful! The ambiance as nice, though as the place filled up, it got a tad loud. Why only the 4 star then? The service! Our waitress seemed very helpful at the beginning, but then just called it in. We were a table of 8 and she was going to get her 20% tip no matter what. At one point, one of the people had to get up and wander around with 2 coffee cups trying to get them refilled. SUCH a shame!

    We loved everyone we ordered. I had the 1/2 chicken and was pleasantly surprised that it was smoked. Husband had brisket and the meat practically fall off his fork tender. It is sad to know the restaurant will be closed soon as the food is definitely delicious.

    Had a great first visit to Lucy Quinn, a beautifully designed spot named after the owner's grandmother. The food leans toward upscale Southern--creative, a bit pricey, sort of Tapas style, even if it's not labeled that way. We tried pretty much the entire menu. I enjoyed my brisket and the potato wedges were really good. The cocktail menu offers a nice variety, and overall it was a solid first experience. Service was on the slower side but still attentive. I'm curious to come back and try Little Lucy, their connected diner-style concept next door. The interior art is also a standout--it adds a lot to the atmosphere.

    Double smash burger and potato wedges
    Greg S.

    Excellent food the double snashburger was very tasty and at 14 dollars very affordable. The potato wedges were quite good and seasoned well with a Cajun seasoning. The German chocolate cake at 12 dollars was one of the best I have ever had in st louis. The service is top shelf and the decor is quite pleasant. This new little restaurant is perfect for a romantic evening or any occasion.

    Smoked brisket and eggs
    Jonathan S.

    This was the first time trying them out and our experience was amazing. Our server Nicki was really nice and funny. Made the experience even better. The art and aesthetic was really cute as well. The chef/owner stopped by the table and we had a chance to give him praise. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food. I had the smoked brisket and eggs and candied bacon. Both items were really good and filling. Certain parts of the bacon were maybe a little too crispy to chew, but overall the flavor of it was nice. I'd come back here again.

    Catfish Hashbrown
    Denise J.

    Lucy Quinn has become a new favorite spot! I will certainly be visiting again and again. I went to catch up with a friend over a meal and the service, food, decor, and ambiance made my visit a really good one. I ordered the catfish hashbrown, potato wedges, and crab beignets. Everything was tasty and I didn't eat it all during my visit. The food reheats well too! 10/10 recommend! You've gotta try it for yourself!

    This just might be my favorite place I've visited in the last year! Food and drinks were amazing. The service really sold the place though. While deciding which drink would be best, our server and another employee who I'm assuming was the bartender came to our table and answered all of our questions. Even going as far as to giving great examples. I definitely was happy with my choice and danced in my seat throughout the entire meal. The establishment was beautiful, fun and welcoming. I can't wait to go back! Ask for Destini to be your server and I can promise you, your experience will be just as awesome. I can't wait to try their other place, Little Lucy!

I also got the apple dish, which was listed under the salads but the waiter was sure to explain it's not an actual salad. Since it wasn't a full salad I also got the soup. Both the apple dish and soup were really good. It's street parking but there's lots of spots in the area. The bathroom is super nice with hairspray and mints if needed. Nice place for a good meal.

Husband got the ham & cheese omelette and felt the same. We split kids pancakes to get the toppings on the side. OMG people don't lie these are an indulgent and amazing treat. 4 stars overall because there are literally 0 modifications which is kind of annoying in my opinion.

I guess it's a choice but it does deter me from rushing back or trying more on the menu, and be aware if you go. Ps does seem there is an allergy option so if you do have an allergy I suppose you can check that but I'm not sure how to note what you need a change; didn't see it in the QR-only ordering.

    The Fleur-de-Lys is the epitome of a luxurious getaway. Whether it is the quaintly appointed guest…read morerooms or the delightful library and parlor, each area of this former residence is unique and meticulously maintained. While it is not likely the norm, the owners, Mark & Leslie, met us at the front door, quite literally inviting us into their establishment. It was simply the most welcoming manner in which to be introduced to this treasure and Leslie quickly engaged us with the history of the home and how she and Mark had recently become the owners. We chose this destination based upon the significance of the Fleur-de-lis to my love, a native New Orleanian. Given St. Louis' rich French heritage, the mansion was originally outfitted with four chimneys that feature the fleur-de-lis design and the pattern is repeated throughout the home. While we enjoyed a quiet morning coffee in the back of the property, a lovely shaded patio area, she noticed how many places the symbol was present. She actually made mention to Mark & Leslie that they could make an activity out of counting/finding all of the fleur-de-lis around the home. What a fun idea! We were fortunate enough to book the Tower Grove Park room, a spacious room fitted with a king-size bed and a two-person jacuzzi tub. There is even a 'fainting couch' for that extra French touch! The bed was amazingly comfortable and the decor and accoutrements were exceptional, right down to the pocket doors and writing desk. But a B&B is set apart by the fare served in the morning, and this is where Mark, a chef by trade, and Leslie, a self-taught baker, knock it out of the park. That morning's menu included a fruit starter, fresh juice, Leslie's home-baked sourdough toast and home-baked English muffins, and Mark's egg and sausage soufflés with country potatoes. The entire breakfast had us completely over the moon! We felt so at home that we wanted to clear our own place - so we did! The rates are competitive and well worth every moment spent here. There is parking behind the property, as well as across from the property, and each guest is allowed a unique security code so as to gain entry while you are enjoying your stay. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this getaway, and Mark, Leslie, & assistant Sammy made us feel like family from the moment we crossed the threshold. We'll be back - and you should give Fleur-de-Lys a try!

Location is perfect to venture out in any direction. We appreciate our stay at the Fleur-De-Lys Mansion, and highly recommend it as a destination stay spot whenever in St. Louis.
