    The works! Basil and matcha soft serve swirl with sesame brittle
    Fionna L.

    This is the most welcoming, comfortable and delicious restaurant I've been to in a long time. As others have noted, the interior is bright and the staff is very kind and helpful. There are even 3 ways to order: at the counter on the tablet, on the QR code at the seats, or asking the staff directly. The DD Mau salad may have been the most delicious salad I've ever had. The greens were fresh, not bitter at all, and the ingredients were so flavorful. The textures combined with the sauce made for a very complex, umami taste and mouthfeel with a slightly spicy kick. Wow! So wonderful that it's a local collaboration too. We also got The Works, a generous swirl of basil and matcha soft serve with shards of sesame peanut brittle. My friend liked it a lot and I thought it was very interesting. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on their menu and there's also the option to make your own salad. Lastly, you can sign up for tours of their hydroponic farm (attached to the restaurant), which are held on weekends 1-2pm. You'll know where to find me on Saturday...

    I'm so satisfied! Neon Greens is in The Grove, and from the outside you'd never guess how cool it is inside. You walk into this older building and it just opens up into this bright, clean, almost energizing space . I went with the Umami Crunch with tofu and... yeah, this is the kind of place that makes you realize how rare a really good salad is. Like, when do you ever eat a salad and think, "the lettuce is incredible"? That happened here. Everything tasted fresh in a way that's hard to explain unless you've had it. And then you find out why--they literally have a hydroponic farm attached. Not just for show either... they do tours, and a lot of what you're eating is coming straight from there. It makes the whole experience feel different in the best way. The portions are huge, super filling, and still somehow feel light and clean. I also grabbed a local blue spirulina kombucha that ended up being one of the best I've had. If you keep wandering toward the back, it turns into this almost maze-like space, and on weekends they do a pop-up called Biscuit Town with breakfast items (including vegan options). It just keeps going. Honestly, I walked in craving a REALLY good salad and left wondering why it's so hard to find places like this. This is one of those spots you go to once and immediately know you'll be back.

    After attending an event I decided to go here for lunch. I have been wanting to try it for some time now. It took a minute to go over all of the various menu options. It's nice to see all of the fresh ingredients available-mostly grown onsite. It can't get any fresher than that. The service was great. They are ready to help explain anything on the menu. It's a cute place, there's street parking available. I decided on the Thai BBQ which is a popular item. I also got the chili crisp cheese bread. My salad was huge and can easily be shared with another person. It was so fresh and delicious. The cheese bread was good, would have been much better if it was served hot and gooey. I'm glad I stopped in and really enjoyed my lunch. Go try it for yourself.

    The Elote Salad

    It was exactly what I needed for the day. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The salad itself is huge, I would recommend splitting it and take some home (which I did). The flavors are all super yummy. I tried the Thai BBQ before and it was good but pretty tangy. Recently, I tried the elote salad which was pretty similar but the corn was the perfect touch. It's a perfect spot to grab a quick lunch, if you're in the area! Parking can be tricky unless you're lucky

    My build your own salad
    Kathy G.

    I've driven by here so many times and I finally made it in. There is only street parking. It is a very welcoming space with an open concept. There's seating inside in the main dinjng area, out in the back under a covered area and also outside in the front on an upper level deck. The staff is phenomenal! They made me feel welcome, they took time to explain menu items and seemed proud of the products offered. The lettuce is grown on site. I ordered the seasonal sweet potato soup and so did my dining companion, but her presentation looked different like it had some cream on top. I chose to create my own salad, and I absolutely loved all of the unique choices to do so. I had the hardest choice picking one of their house made salad dressings. There were so many choices so I picked two. It was one of the best tasting salads i've ever had.

    The Fattoush
    Lejla O.

    I was definitely skeptical about trying a salad place for lunch, but Neon Greens completely changed my mind! The salad was so good, incredibly filling, and the portion was huge, even had leftovers. I also loved that you can customize anything on the menu or build your own salad, so there are tons of options for everyone. It was really interesting learning that they grow a large portion of their produce right onsite. Fresh, delicious, and definitely worth a visit!

    Pleasant service is always a plus upon entering an establishment. Rarity these days so I've come to appreciate it these days. I digress... Display case was clean; loved that! Menu large & in charge; detailed...loved that too! Fresh ingredients, deliciously paired serving with greens, grains and the perfect amount of sauce or sauce-less (whichever floats your boat). I thoroughly enjoyed the shroom shawarma is avocado. Super filling; I enjoyed half and took the remainder home for dinner. Of course a pineapple palo santo kombucha was the appropriate beverage to finish off my meal. Absolutely divine every time. Oh, the vegan peanut butter cookie was tasty as well...nice gluten free treat to satiate a sweet tooth. ~C.A.

    One word....YUM!! This was my first visit to Neon Greens and I will be back! First, the greens are grown on site hydroponically...it doesn't get any fresher than that!! Then the combinations and toppings are equally fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. The staff was friendly and happy to help a novice at their restaurant. The ambience's is casual and welcoming

    Miso-Maple Harvest Salad (Seasonal)
    Autumn R.

    I consistently enjoy Neon Greens, regardless of what I order. It is a casual spot with a cool, clean aesthetic that offers both regular menu items, a build-your-own section, and a rotating menu of seasonal items. Employees behind the counter are friendly and ask questions to ensure your salad is built to your liking. On my most recent visit I ordered the miso-maple salad. This is (sadly) seasonal and was fresh, cozy, and rich!

    Chouteau salad
    Gayle R.

    Not my first time dining here; impressed by the quality consistency! The maple miso salad is a delish mix of colors and textures. We split it and it was plenty for us two. We added on 3 things: 1 marinated tofu chunks (Not crazy for this. Pretty mushy raw and not terribly flavorful either. ) 2 the bread rolls were a bit oddly soft/mushy but flavor was fine. A fave destination for us health minded vegetarians!

    Wonderfully fresh salads with lettuce grown on their own urban farm. Amazing selection and great service.

    Sneaky biscuit and plain Jane hash brown
    Jo Nell R.

    I have yet to make it to Neon Greens for their Neon Greens food but was able to stop in this morning for their new Biscuit Town permanent pop up. Beautiful, bright space! A seating area when you walk in with tables and window counter seating. We didn't sit there but the view of the changing trees was beautiful out the window. Walk up the to the counter to order, our order was taken by a friendly and upbeat person, the menu gave all the options right there. the server was efficient and asked questions to make sure our order was correct, we paid and chose a seat. Our food was brought out quickly on a tray, there was a counter with a composting area that also had napkins and utensils. The biscuit sandwich was huge! The Sneaky Biscuit. I asked for no cheese since I am a cheese weirdo and don't like it mixed with eggs, meat, or potatoes! So, biscuit, bacon, egg, and smoked citrus honey. Very good, I am also a weirdo about butter and I was afraid I wouldn't like the biscuit because of it, but it wasn't overpowering and I really enjoyed it. For my first time, I opted for the Plain Jane hash brown, so thin and crispy! I will be more adventurous next time and choose the Unami option. As I was composting our dishes, one of the employees chatted with me about the option of touring the farm and he pointed it out, I had thought it was part of outdoor seating, so cool that it is where they grow the greens. I remembered reading something about it after he mentioned it. I admitted I hadn't been there for their non breakfast options and he got me a menu and encouraged me to come back. He might have been an owner, and he was super nice, either way. Hope to be back soon!

    I don't know why you'd spend $20 for a salad, but Neon Greens is worth it. I ordered the Five Spice Barbecue Bowl, a collaboration with Salt + Smoke, a local BBQ spot in St. Louis. Since I'm not a fan of quinoa, I swapped out the three-grain mix for all lettuce, and my salad came with mizuna, shredded cabbage, roasted broccoli, pickled red onions, garlicky cucumbers, Salt + Smoke's signature pulled pork, crispy garlic, chopped peanuts, and a charred scallion green goddess dressing. What makes Neon Greens unique is their hydroponic farm connected to the restaurant, where they grow their own lettuce. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the space itself is welcoming, bright, modern, and minimalist. They also prioritize composting and recycling, which makes the experience healthy and sustainable too.

I also opted to add heirloom tomato to it which added a nice brightness to it. My mom ordered the double, which she said was amazing. We ordered a variety of sides to share. The mac and cheese was amazing, the onion rings were flavorful and crispy, and the fries were also very well seasoned and crispy. Overall, everything was a 10/10. Also, I loved that their fountain sodas are Excel sodas. Will definitely be back to try their draft beers and more burgers!

We were pretty seated right away (party of 2.5) next to their beautiful plants and bar. Parking in the area can be a headache, but Songbird does have a small parking lot next door and can be worth trying. Our service was very welcoming and nice! The menu is a bit smaller than most, but I really enjoyed what we ordered. We started off Vanilla Iced Latte, an Iced Hibiscus Tea supplied by the London Tea Room, and waters. They gave my toddler his water in a to-go coffee cup which delighted me because in passing... a small child having his morning coffee lol Our food was great, filling, and delicious: a breakfast sandwich with aged white cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and fried egg, huevos rancheros with housemade chorizo, and a farm toast (french toast with peaches) Lovely breakfast date - I highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my sausage sourdough sandwich. It was savory, cheesy, buttery, all the things. I also loved the grits, and I'm not a grits girl unless there's shrimp on top, but these were solid. If you want a simple menu with good, homey food and appreciate restaurants that locally source pick here. I'd come back for sure. The one thing that would bump my review higher: sides with the combos. Even a little hash brown would have gone a long way. My sister and I spent about $45 between one drink, the sandwich and grits, which isn't the cheapest around town, but I thought it was worth it for what we ate. Still, at $14 for a sandwich, I'd like a side included.

The hostess asked if the patio would be ok and we were delighted to say yes. My wife is using a walker due to upcoming hip replacement surgery and the hostess suggested we use the outside patio gate instead of trying to pass through the restaurant. We sat in the patio and water and fresh hot 2 kinds of bread were placed on the table. Our server, Connor, is so knowledgeable and pleasant. He was patient with us and his wine suggestion was spot on. Great sense of humor and he worked all the patio tables. The food choices were amazing and exceeded expectations. Pricing was comparable with what we expected. The lobster bisque was thick, hot and very filling. There was ample pieces of lobster as well. My wife shared that her pasta was not hard or dry or rubbery but tasted freshly made. Connor shared that the prep starts every morning with homemade pasta. The traditional toasted ravioli were just that, toasted and tasty and the CG shrimp seemed so much more than an appetizer. Meals could be had with just those. I was very satisfied it ordered lasagna anyway. I just had them pack it to go as I was comfortably full. I know there are a lot of choices on the Hill but I assure you this one stands out. Please treat yourself to Charlie Gitto's. Don't wait for a special reason. Any time you eat here will be special

    Overall Impressions: Visiting a historic St. Louis institution for the first time is always…read moreexciting, but our inaugural dinner at Charlie Gitto's on The Hill yielded a surprisingly mixed bag. While the drinks, bread, appetizers, and desserts shone, the main courses and service fell short of the restaurant's legendary reputation. Ambiance & Setting Stepping in from a mild, low-80s afternoon, the indoor dining room felt starkly dark--almost like a cave when walking straight in from the street. Thankfully, we opted to sit on the patio, which was a delightful choice and provided a very nice, relaxed environment for dinner. While the restaurant recommends smart or business casual attire, the vibe on the ground was much more relaxed; there were plenty of people wearing shorts, and a diner nearby on the patio was sporting jeans and a t-shirt. For parking, the Hill location does have a lot attached, but it was full when we arrived. Fortunately, there is plenty of on-street parking nearby, plus another parking lot just one block down. Drinks & Starters * Drinks: Both the house Pinot Grigio and my husband's Super Tuscan were excellent. We chose a single glass rather than a full bottle. * Bread: The bread was outstanding, served in generous portions. * CG Signature Shrimp ($22): Extra-large, roasted in garlic butter and seasoned breadcrumbs. We received three nice-sized shrimp with plenty of flavorful garlic butter left over, which was fantastic for dipping the bread. Entrees * Fiore Borghese ($24): Small, flower-shaped hollow noodles tossed in a pink Cognac sauce with prosciutto, onions, and parsley. The portion was good and shareable, but the pasta was slightly short of al dente and could have used another minute in the pot. While the first few bites were nice, the dish quickly proved to be very one-note; it would make a great side option, but it felt heavy and repetitive as a main entree. Additionally, no extra Parmesan cheese was offered tableside--even though we noticed another diner nearby being offered it--and this dish could have really used it, or perhaps it just wasn't designed for it. * Veal Parmigiano ($55): Bone-in, breaded, and baked with pomodoro sauce and CG cheeses. We had looked forward to this signature dish, and the size was very good and definitely shareable. The pomodoro sauce was the undisputed star of the dish--vibrant and delicious. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The cheese was not melted through and was coolish at best. More importantly, the meat was very difficult to cut even with the heavy steak knives provided, snagging on silver skin, turning out quite chewy, and lacking proper seasoning. At $55, this was a major letdown. Dessert & Coffee * Tiramisu ($12): Ladyfingers, espresso, and mascarpone cheese--very nice. * Chocolate Cake ($12): Triple-chocolate--excellent. * Espresso: A great way to cap off the meal. Service Our server, Noah, provided a mixed-at-best experience alongside his helper. While they were initially attentive with clearing plates and refilling glasses, the pacing went completely off the rails toward the end of the meal. Noah wasn't very chatty (no real personal warmth,) and we had to prompt him to ask if there were any daily specials. Worse still, he cleared my husband's entree plate before I was even halfway finished with mine--making the table feel awkwardly unbalanced--and then dropped the bill right along with our desserts. He even came back to see if we were ready to pay while we were still eating dessert. With the patio only half-full (we arrived at 4:30 PM on a quiet Sunday) and us having been there just a little over an hour, rushing us out like that was completely unnecessary and frustrating. The Verdict With a total of $190 including tax, we expected a seamless, high-end meal. While the patio, wine, starters, and desserts were highlights of the night, the execution errors on the heavily hyped veal and the one-note pasta mean we likely won't rush back for dinner anytime soon.
