The drinks were so good, too. Loved the mojito with, I think, pomegranate in it. I don't remember, but it was so delicious! It was a fabulous dinner, and I will definitely be going back soon! The area has some fun shops, so next time I might come early and browse around. You can eat outside on a nice patio. Friendly staff, too. One of the best restaurants in St. Louis so far, and I'm pretty picky.

My boyfriend and I were in St. Louis for a few days and went to Tree House on our first night. It…read morehad a friendly vibe and ample seating. But right off the bat was one of my pet peeves: QR menus. Maybe when the pandemic was at its worst, they were necessary, but we've learned to live with it, so let's go back to physical menus. The service was super friendly, with our server training a newbie. We started with the Arepas con Platanos Maduros, a corn cake with veggie crumbles and platanos. They were really good. I'm always up for a dish with maduros, so I was happy to see this. For our main course, my boyfriend got the jambalaya, while I got the mushroom ravioli. He loved his dish. Mine was decent, but unless you love brussels sprouts, you may find them a bit overwhelming. I found myself wishing I'd ordered the katsu sandwich. (They were out of the maitake mushroom dish that looked interesting.) For dessert, we got the dark chocolate and tahini budino, a rich mousse, and the cinnamon bread pudding that was coved in a toasted aquafaba whip that was just divine. If, like me, you don't drink, you'll be glad to know the restaurant has a few zero-proof cocktails. I loved my Smokey Orchard, smooth drink with zero-proof whiskey, apple, rosemary, and lemon. My boyfriend got the Rhinestone Cowboy, which does have alcohol. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it to folks visiting.

It's a cute spot and they also have a food truck you may have seen around town. We tried the nachos which were amazing! She had a burger with curly fries that she thoroughly enjoyed-it was very flavorful. I got a mushroom sandwich that reminded me of a good ol St. Paul - it was so good! Even though I am a meat lover I truly enjoyed all the food. Go try something new

The reason why I give it 4/5 stars is because there is no inside seating. During my first visit I had intentions on eating at the restaurant but there was only one table with 2 chairs- which was unfortunate because the inside is clean and nicely decorated. They have multiple cardless pays options because they DO NOT take cash. Something I do appreciate about them is they call their customers to get feedback, which I find super cool. Overall, definitely go here if you are looking for delicious vegan food you can't get anywhere else!

A couple of friends who are vegan came along and they had plenty of options too, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy. The vibe was busy but not overwhelming--we just missed the weekend lunch rush, so timing helped. It's counter service, so you order up front and they bring the food out to your table. Simple setup, good energy, and the food came out pretty quick. Overall, it's a solid spot if you want something flavorful and healthy without a lot of fuss.

The food is terrific! But the setup is different. It was super crowded on a Saturday. The line was…read moreout the door. There was no place to check in for a table and there weren't separate lines for eat in and carry out. I got there first and didn't want to order before my friend got there. I saw an empty table so I sat down to wait. I was nicely told by one of the workers who was carrying around table numbers that I needed to be assigned a table number first. It was unclear when or how to get assigned a number, maybe when you order? Although the line moved pretty quickly it kept growing so when my friend arrived I ended up ordering online. Then I had to ask for a table. I wish they had clear signage or some way to inform about the process. I had the flying avocado turkey wrap which was fresh and delicious, although I didn't taste any avocado. Also ordered the green chili queso with chips which was great. I placed another order to go to take the Cajun shrimp boil home for dinner. It was good, too, although I should have had the hot dish for lunch and taken home the cold wrap. I'd like to try the avocado toast. Next time I will stand in line and order.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, big portions and bold flavours (although it is a tiny bit too salty for me). There is still that balance of spicy, tangy, and sweetness and you can tell a lot of care goes into the sauces. The wraps are packed with fillings but is still light. The aubergines are also flavourful! The vibe is casual and a bit quirky, kind of feels like someone's home. Plenty of seating and there's also a patio. I would come back and try their other dishes.

I ordered the Thai drunken noodles, and they were spicy, well-balanced, and full of flavor. The service was also very nice and made the experience even better. Parking can be a little tricky, but it's absolutely worth it. I came here for a date night, and it was the perfect spot. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to and keep recommending.

She was very pleasant and kind throughout our entire experience. The dining room is so cute, and there is plenty of seating. I got the chick'n tikka wrap with fries and a mango milkshake. I enjoyed my wrap, the sauce was amazing. The fries were delicious, too. They let you pick the seasoning level which I thought was very nice- they were perfect. The star was the mango milkshake- a bit pricey for being so small at $9.99, but it was so delicious and perfectly sweet. I'm still craving it now a few days later. My friends got the Dubai Chocolate milkshake and we are begging for it to be apart of the permanent menu! It was so good and had nice little crunchy pieces inside. If you're looking for vegan food, definitely check this out! However, if you aren't vegan like myself, I would still highly recommend. I will definitely return in the future.

Haven't been in years, but a change I notices was that they have a virtual ordering system now with…read morepictures! Big plus is being able to see the food and know what to expect, ain't with a description. For someone who is indecisive, like me, It made deciding what to order much easier! Pro: vegan ingredients that don't lack in flavor, they serve beer/cider, had their own kombucha, vegan ice cream/soft serve, and it's an environmentally conscious restaurant Con: display case of desserts but the ooey gooey butter cake (vegan) had mold on top of it, tofu dish was luke warm, and there was minimal/if any full front of house staff so people had to ding a bell to get their attention (which can become a bit irritating for dinning in customers) Would like to try again, but will probably stick to the lions mane crab rangoon wontons and a shake or soft serve dish.

I loved how varied the menu was and how easy it was to interpret (i.e., burgers, tacos, salads, etc.). The tacos were delicious, and the fish sliders had a great crunch to them.

The raspberry lemonade was sooo yummy; you could tell it was freshly made. S.O.P. is located inside of Urban Eats. This was my first time visiting, and I find it very admirable that the restaurants are owned by local restaurant entrepreneurs. I will be back! It felt like home and a real community. PLEASE VISIT!

As someone who used to pass on vegan food, I was very happy that this tasted like a regular burger. The only issue I had was the bun was ashy and should have been toasted or warmed up a bit at least. Never just throw a store bought bun on there without greasing her up. The menu had a variety of items, and they also sell tacos. The sweet potato fries were also really, really delicious. They were cooked well, not too mushy and not too firm. It was slow when I went so my order came out quickly. The owner was pleasant and brought my food to me. I will return when I'm out that way again.

Each and every meal was delicious. My favorites? Salmon burger (hold the bun) - the aioli!!! Fire. The Mashed potatoes (shared serving) -- filling. Next time: Coconut curry! Each person loved it and one patron took an extra HOME! The cloud cake didn't make it to the gallery because it was devoured quickly. Restaurants like this need all the love because the options are endless for those with limitations. From gluten free, to meatless, to vegetarian..
