    We went to the St. Louis Art Museum's Panorama restaurant and they had delicious food! I ordered the Charleston Shrimp and Grits and my boyfriend ordered the Panorama Breakfast. Both were so delicious! The grits were some of the best I have ever eaten and the shrimp were very large. The Panorama Breakfast included two eggs your way, bacon, sausage and cranberry pumpkin toast. Very tasty too. View out the floor to ceiling windows is charming and it is of the top of Art Hill and the St. Louis statue. They gave me a lovely amuse bouche small dessert for my birthday and it too was delicious. We combined it with three scoops of vanilla ice cream from Clementine's that were full of flavor. I highly recommend Panorama for a meal or brunch! There are two side rooms that can hold larger groups too.

    Peruano Bean & Burrata Dip- stunning but bland
    Katie G.

    The food is a work of art, befitting its setting inside the Art Museum. After a great morning of touring we enjoyed excellent service here at Panorama, but weren't blown away by the taste. We split the burrata and bean appetizer and, it could have been on the cover of Food and Wine. Absolutely stunning, but really lacked any flavor. My friend had a decent burger, the French dip sliders were also fine, and we both had the cauliflower salad that was light but again, not seasoned enough for us. Overall, so glad we tried it, but for the price I don't know that we would return.

    Burger and chips

    I got a chance to finally try this place. I ended up paying $15 to park in the art museum garage because street parking was limited. After taking the elevator upstairs to the first level, we walked in and let the hostess know we had a reservation. The hostess was pleasant and nice. We sat quickly at our table and were greeted by a woman who poured us some water. We ordered an ice tea and lemonade while we looked over the menu. Our waitress was nice enough to give us extra time to look since this was our first time here. We ended up ordering the steak frita and burger and chips. The wait for our food was about 15 minutes. The food was good overall. I do wish they would have drained my burger a bit from the grease. It made my burger a bit messier than it should have been. But it was still well seasoned and cooked overall. The place was clean and has plenty of natural light coming in from the ceiling to floor windows. Apparently, they have brunch on Saturday and Sundays. Something I will definitely come back for. Until next time...

    Charleston Shrimp & Grits

    The food was wonderful! I had the shrimp and grits, bathed in a delightful stew and crowned with a poached egg. This dish is so popular that it is only served on the weekends. It is a delightful reminder of Cajun cuisine that thrives in St Louis, and a fitting addition to the menu of an art museum. My problem was the ambiance + dining experience. As a solo diner, I was seated at a small table, as expected. The restaurant was largely empty when I arrived (no other diners in the main dining area, another party - of 3 -in the private section). To my surprise, two bites into my entree, a large birthday party was seated right next to me. The sound levels in the room rose by... several decibels. The server and host had to steer them away from my table several times. This other party had a different server - why were they not seated in another section? Ultimately, I packed it up mid-meal. I provided this feedback to the host directly.

    My friend had been raving about this place and was dying for me to try. I was really excited as the menu looked great and the service was incredible. They got us in as a larger party with no reservation in no time. I ordered the monte crisco and was taken about when I saw the size, especially for the price. The taste was fine but left still hungry. I did however try another friends pancake and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor and portion. Definitely will give it another chance in the future.

    First of all, great environment. Great place to hangout with your friends or colleagues and enjoy some art afterwards. Staff are very friendly and I loved their Brussels sprouts and lobster bisque! Will come back again!

    Went for tea during Art In Bloom for $60 a person and was very pleasantly surprised! The service was amazing and all of the canapés were so tasty. Usually I leave high tea hungry but not here! My only complaint would be that we didn't get to choose our tea type but overall, would highly recommend!

    Birthday treat
    Paige C.

    I made a lunch reservation online for my mom's birthday about a week in advance, they made sure to accommodate all special requests that were submitted along with it. The hostess and our waiter both wished her a happy birthday upon greeting us and sat us in from of the window as previously requested. We ordered crispy Brussels sprouts and a couple sandwiches to share. Everything was served in a timely manner, courses were spread evenly apart. The atmosphere is light, open and spacious. I absolutely love the floor to ceiling windows and all the natural light. We had a great time and they gave us a complementary birthday treat. Our waiter made a point to ask if we were members of the museum and applied our membership discount to our bill. I thought that was extremely kind of him especially because I did not realize that was a perk and wouldn't have known to ask. 10/10

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Jessie Q.

    The ambiance is very nice and quiet. The restaurant is located in the art museum and fairly classy. A great option for dates or a nice casual lunch. The food is pretty good, although the crepe is a little lack luster, everything else is pretty good. The Brussels sprouts are very good (fried with sugar) and the lobster is better than most I've had. The service is a bit lacking as they never came back to check on us or to refill water, but it's no big deal. A very good place for lunch when visiting forest park if you didn't want to be stuck at the zoo with just burgers, fries or any other finger foods.

    Lobster roll and watermelon salad
    Sherry H.

    I came here for my birthday with my friend. She said that when she made the reservation, it asked if they were celebrating so she marked birthday. When were you arrived, they told me happy birthday. But the weird thing is they never really did anything, not even a dessert. We thought that was odd. Our reservations were at 11:15 AM so when we arrived, there was only one other table of people. We sat at a table by the window. It was really just a window view. It was nothing that you would think of to be described as a panoramic view. And to get a good view, you had to get one of the few tables right at the window. The best thing about the entire meal was the brussels sprouts. These were like fried and drizzled with honey. They were absolutely delicious. I ordered the turkey Gouda sandwich. It was pretty good. My friend ordered the lobster roll and said it was OK. We had actually thought that would be better. It came with an interesting watermelon salad. The prices were pretty much the amount that you would expect to spend for lunch out. Bonus is that it is attached to the art museum so make sure you have an extra hour or two to browse through it.

    Fancy little restaurant inside the St. Louis art museum. We only ordered two appetizers as snacks but they are both delicious. Good break for in between looking at exhibits.

    Looking for a classy brunch, this is it! From the friendly staff, scenic location and delicious food you will have a memorable time. The hostess that greeted me was extremely nice and friendly. I sat at a table near the window overlooking Forest Park. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I had the breakfast sampler, plenty of food, delicious and reasonably priced. I can't wait to return. Be sure to make reservations in advance.

    Tuna, avocado, toast with a spicy aioli
    Sarah F.

    I came in a little before closing and they were able to seat me and were very attentive but not make me feel rushed. My food and wine were delicious and I'd highly recommend the tuna avocado toast!

Songbird makes great use of its space and should be near the top of your STL brunch list. A reasonably-sized (not-overwhelming) menu, great coffee, delicious cocktails, quick, attentive service, and undeniably delicous food. I took off on a redeye this morning (coffee courtesy of Blueprint), and landed on the Farm Sampler: two scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, sourdough toast, sliced avocado and sauteed shiitake mushrooms. Phenomenal flavors and textures. Toast is typically an afterthought for me, but the buttery crunch of the sourdough has to be spotlighted. The Bee's Knees cocktail was also a wonderfully refreshing prelude to the approaching STL summer. The time has come, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say: wake up, reserve, enjoy.

I was very excited to try them but left knowing I would not return. I waited 40 minutes on a weekday morning for a bar seat for one, standing because all the waiting area seats were taken. The hostess/waitress was very nice when she got to me, but you could tell that the amount of customers was simply too much to handle. Now, this was okay - I should have made a reservation, and it's not the staff's fault they were overwhelmed. However, the service once I sat down was patchy, delayed and distracted. I had to remind different servers of my presence, multiple times. I was willing to overlook this if the food had been fantastic, but unfortunately, their most popular item, the combo breakfast sandwich, was so incredibly heavy. The first bite was crispy, oily and fatty deliciousness, but by the third bite it was simply too rich. The sweet overtone of the honey was lovely but did not cut through the grease. By the time I finished half, I understood why several diners had left the other half uneaten. My personal preference is for a fresh, umami yet balanced sandwich that does not make me feel queasy after finishing it. This was not the sandwich for me. There was a long delay after I finished eating for them to bring me the check. My whole meal took around 2.5 hours. I had arrived starving and, I like to think, with an open mind. These are my honest, unfiltered observations. It is wonderful that so many people want to try their food and that their new space is bigger. Their decor, glassware and menu were cute and tasteful. I also love that they grew from a farmers market food stall and that they source their ingredients locally. With their level of popularity, I think they should focus on preserving the quality of their service and food.

We thought we had to wait for a long time, but it actually went quick (like 5 minutes) when we got there. We did not realize this place had an upstairs, until our waiter guided us. This place looks very large on the inside compared to what it looks like on the outside. The restaurant also had an rustic atmosphere. With exposed pipes, rusted decor, and 80's memorabilia on the shelf. We ordered coffee here, and one of them came in a Christmas cup. Even though it was six months away. My wife chuckled on how they served her coffee in a Christmas cup. Mine came in a plain white cup. But I still excessively chuckled on how funny the menu is and the staff are. The staff are very attentive to how your food tastes and make plenty of funny jokes with you. They also are very descriptive on what the specials on pancakes and omelettes are. As well as being very honest. I ordered the Benny's Got Beef Or Belly with Brisket. I know, long name. I watched the weather while my food was being prepared, and occasionally looking at the PBS TV nearby. My wife was drawing with my 11 year old daughter (and writing "secret messages") as their food was being prepped and prepared. When my food finally came out, I immediately took a bite. The brisket was very juicy and tender. And the eggs were delicious on the side. I tried this place several years ago. Was still the same good taste that I remember when I took my wife to this place. Very amazing place. Will come again.

    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!
