The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere hits a really nice balance. It's lively enough to have some energy, but small and intimate enough that it almost feels like you stumbled into a secret neighborhood spot. It's not exclusive, by the way. It's incredibly welcoming. Nick and Genesis are genuinely some of the kindest people you'll meet, and that hospitality comes through every time we're there. On top of all that, Stone Turtle does a ton to support the Dogtown community, which makes it even easier to keep coming back.

I had the Steak au Poivre and all in all I'm not mad at the dish. Not amazed, probably won't order it again, but it's well balanced between the grits and the asparagus. Asparagus was a bit less crispy than my preference but not bad. The steak was seasoned well and cooked to my preferred temp, I just don't think the green peppercorn sauce complimented it well. The only really negative thing about the place is the volume it can get to, it was a bit hard to hear who I was eating with. Otherwise I think the ambiance was homey and cozy and the lighting was soft for an enjoyable evening. I'll likely visit again sometime!

I was intrigued by the idea of havarti cheese on a chicken & waffle sandwich, so I went for it. And I did not make a mistake. It was a good portion which equal balance of chicken to waffle with the cheese perfectly melted. The waffle was just the right level of sweetness and was a good texture for holding. I drizzled a bit of honey for an added sweet kick. But also I dipped the sandwich and fries in some aioli sauce my friend didn't want. That hit the spot! The fries were nice with a good amount of crunch. I wasn't able to finish them all. But I did finish my entire sandwich because it was too good to leave behind. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and responsive. Definitely take a walk inside and check out this nice neighborhood gem.

So this past Sunday, I took advantage of their Brunch. I started my Sunday breakfast with an adult beverage. Their Bloody Mary, has just enough spice to give it a good kick to start your morning. I don't know about you, but I always have to have a cup of coffee as a chaser for my Bloody. I take mine black and strong, to get through the entire day. For my entree, I built my own Omelette with, Spinach, Bacon, Onion and Cheddar Cheese. It was a light golden yellow and was filled with a generous amount of my chosen ingredients. As a side, it came with crispy potato wedges and a small cup of ketchup for dipping. The two paired together, made for an excellent Sunday Brunch. I always sit at the bar, since I usually dine alone and the service was attentive. The bartender was personable and lead the entire bar into a good conversation. I'm glad to be back in STL and I am super glad that my new condo is closer to Polite Society than my last home was. I'm confident I will be once again, be a regular.

While reservations are recommended, I was lucky to get us a spot for two on a Saturday night for dinner. Walking in, it reminded me of a small family place in Palermo but with class. Hostess and server were very friendly and pleasant and attentive. The Ravioli appetizer was excellent!!! For St Louis, having an outstanding Ravs is a high bar and Collins's easily earned a top spot. The ravioli is a must try. The Beef Rigatoni Bolognese was also outstanding and an interesting fact is the pasta is made in-house. The Cavitelli was also fantastic and another must-try is the Sicilian Old Fashioned which was delicious. I could easily do two or three. Collina is a must return soon column. Five Stars!

It was a carrot cake that I'm pretty sure had cheesecake btwn the layers. I only had 1 small bite of that part. Entrees ordered were seafood risotto, sweet chili glazed salmon and the special of the night which was a pork chop over risotto. Per my friend her salmon was delicious. My risotto was overcooked so the clams were rubbery-yuk. The shrimp looked overcooked but they actually tasted fine. The pork chop was good but not great per report. We did get bruschetta as an appetizer- again good but not great as there was too much balsamic glaze such that it was overly sweet. Jonathan was our server and I had the impression he was new to the job. He did fine but it was small things. A definite detractor was the location of our table- we were right next to the kitchen. If I backed my chair up I would have been in their pathway. Anyway they left the door to kitchen open and it was sooooo noisy. Yes I could have asked them to close door but the heat would have probably too much for them then.

Yes! This place! Stop scrolling for a place to eat and make a reservation!…read more We made a reservation the morning of and I'm glad we did. We arrived 20 minutes early. The bar was at waging room only and there were no empty tables. The hostess worked her magic and she was able to get us seated before our reservation time.

Owen was my server during my visit. He took excellent care of me, made good recommendations, and worked to accommodate special requests. The coffee is local from Coma Coffee. The cocktail menu has a robust list of offerings. The brunch menu is a nice balance of savory and sweet. If you've read any of my reviews, I usually always prefer savory over sweet for breakfast. This visit was no exception to that. I went with the loaded hash brown. This was a unique interpretation of a latke. The hash brown practically covered my entire plate, a nice portion of cured salmon, and a lovely basil yogurt and chili crunch for contrast. I made a fantastic choice. Not only was this a nice portion of food, it tasted amazing as well. I did add a side of the chicken sausage. It actually ended up being too much. This was the perfect way to spend a slow Saturday morning. I plan to stop in soon to visit them for dinner.

The restaurant is located on a quaint corner with a couple outdoor benches for waiting. We went for a busy Sunday morning brunch service. Staff was very proficient at getting diners in and we were very okay with the wait. The inside is very pleasant, a mix between a bar vibe and mom & pop diner vibe. Once we were seated is when our experience began to drift away. Our particular server greeted us fairly quickly, but after taking our drink order we waited for 15+ minutes for them to be brought out. Initially I gave the server some grace, assuming it was perhaps because they were busy. As our brunch continued it became apparent our particular server was either bad at her job or just didn't care and the initial wait for our drinks was pretty on par with the rest of this server's attentiveness to our visit. I will say the rest of the staff seemed amazing. The manager/owner(?) came and checked on us a couple times and seemed invested in our experience. The product itself was amazing. Great menu selections (food, drinks, boozy options, and the food and drinks themselves were outstanding. Fun environment. One of the TVs in our section was playing old GI Joe cartoons (right in my wheelhouse) while the other had sports programming on. My hope is the particular server we had was an outlier for this establishment, which is why despite her horrible service, I provided a rating. Our server brought our check out while we were still eating. My drink was empty and I intended on ordering another one but I wasn't asked. Despite this visit, I would certainly return and give the service a second chance.

I'd never really noticed this bar before, since I entered from the back, but I'm so glad I stopped in. The patio is spacious and inviting, the inside is super clean, and there are plenty of tables perfect for groups. TVs are everywhere, there are a few slot machines if you like to gamble, and of course a dartboard--because what neighborhood bar is complete without one? The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and quick to get our food out. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor. I had the fried chicken and two sides GREAT! The portion sizes were generous, and I truly have no complaints about the food at all. We didn't try the cocktails this time, but everyone at the bar looked happy and well taken care of, and the bartenders were clearly on top of things. Crusoe's feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you can count on: great service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'm so happy we found this place--it's definitely going to be our local watering hole. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out!
