    Robust Chowder
    Shirley D.

    I love this place. Met with a group of 9 other women. Waitress was amazing and Robust was willing to give us each our own check. The wine list is extensive with other cocktails available as well. Lots of shareable plates and appetizers on the menu. I ordered a 6oz glass of the Sauvignon on the Robust list. For dinner, I ordered the chowder and a small salad. The chowder had so many tastes going on! Very delicious. I plan on coming back with my daughter to order some shareable plates and do some wine flights.

    Popped in here to get a wine flight and was pleasantly surprised with the holiday pop up, Winter WINEderland. We came on a Wednesday and were seated promptly at the bar. There were two of us in our party and we both wanted to try a wine flight. We first got a red flight and then switched to white. Each flight is equivalent to 1.5 glasses of wine, so it's perfect portion (in my opinion with being able to try 3). We also split the flatbread which was good, I really liked the crust. The decor was nice and festive, definitely a great way to ring in the season. There's a parking lot next to the fro yo spot!

    Welcome to Robust

    1/21/16 - Decided to go to Robust one more time before they close at the end of the month. There are rumors that the restaurant might be acquired by the chef and reopen after some renovations. This unique wine bar restaurant offers various wine selections and some wine combos. I had the Chardonnay flight "Chardonnay or should I go". My favorite Chardonnay was the 2024 Fess Parker with a light oak and a little fruit flavor. Easy drinking and a good mouth feel. My entrée was the beef bourguignon special. It was a velvety beef soup with carrots, potatoes and pearl onions. I added the Robust salad with a champagne vinaigrette mixed with pink peppercorns, Pecorino and Marcona almonds. Everything was delicous and moderately priced. This location was /is a great place to share a good wine and a charcuterie board. Aiden was our server he guided us through our main meal professionally and with courtesy Try to visit before they close. I recommend this restaurant.

    I called in advance to book a reservation for my friend's birthday dinner and asked if they did anything for birthdays. I was told the birthday celebrant could choose bubbly or some form of desert. Cool! I initially made reservations for 5, but one person couldn't make it so I called again to make it for four. Upon arrival, we waited at the host stand for 5 minutes and immediately knew they either didn't put us down (even though I called twice to confirm?) or forgot about us? We were seated in the back by our waitress who was unpleasant from the start. We were given menus and ordered our drinks. The drink I wanted to order wasn't on their last shipment and they only had one of the drinks from that section of the menu available so I figured I would just try that. It was okay and then grew on me toward the end. I don't think it was worth $10 for pressed juice, but hey that's just me. We all put in our food order and the waitress asked if two from our party was sharing, unsure why that was relevant? 20 minutes later our waitress comes back and says they're out of stock of the lobster biscuits and says they only have so much for the weekend... We went on a Friday and it was 6pm. Not sure if someone just screwed up orders, but I've read from previous reviews that they had the same experience. AN HOUR LATER WE STILL DON'T HAVE OUR FOOD -- I tried flagging down our waitress because we had plans right after dinner to go to and of course right before I see her an hour and 20 minutes later, our food arrives and is delivered by either the chef or a cook who was much more pleasant and much more welcoming- glad that we were there. Apologized for the delay which we appreciated. We were all still so confused as to what took so long because none of us ordered any entrees, just shareables... * ratatouille * crab cakes * lobster biscuits (sold out) * goat cheese * one of the charcuterie boards It continues... Remember the birthday I was talking about? We weren't leaving without her getting her bubbly so her husband went to find our waitress (couldn't find her- surprise surprise) and so he tried asking another waitress, then our waitress comes up to him and it's supposed to be a secret and she BLURTS OUT within earshot of the birthday girl asking if we wanted to take it to go... no? She asked, "I thought you were in a hurry?" I'm sorry, but it's not our fault that the food took so long. We weren't in a hurry when we got there. So she swings by and says happy birthday in the least amount of happy in her voice as possible. Long story short, it wasn't an enjoyable experience, maybe let customers know what's not available when you seat them, write down reservations, have better customer service. If you're looking to celebrate a special event, don't expect the works here.

    Charcuterie and Cheese
    Andria C.

    One of the best patios in the city! Check their schedule for live music nights. We met the owners when we were there and they are very friendly and accommodating. Order a glass (or better yet bottle) of wine and the charcuterie board and you will be set.

    Whipped Brie!
    Samantha L.

    Went here for Galentine's with some ladies from work. Because we were a group of 6, we got complementary champagne, which was such a treat! They had really fun cocktails for Valentine's Day! I had the First Crush and the ice was shaped like a rose. So cute! We got a lot of the shareable trays, including a charcuteries board, whipped Brie (my fave), a flatbread, a hummus dish that was also amazing, and other shareable as well! Our waitress was knowledgeable and kind. All of the staff were extremely helpful. Honestly, just a blast with amazing food and drinks! I've lived in Webster forever and this was my first time! I'll for sure go back! It is a bit pricey, so take that into consideration!

    Shrimp & grits
    Shannon O.

    I went to robust for their 28 days of Robust Love and it was so fun! They have delicious signature cocktails with fun names! My friend got cloud nine and it had cotton candy in it and it even lit up. So cute! We had the whipped Brie which was do die for. Then we had shrimp & grits and a chicken flatbread- both delicious. And our server recommended the brown butter cake- it was to die for! The service is always quick and friendly I love going here for a girls night or even a date night. The food is just as amazing as the drinks!

    Came here for a Christmas pop up bar with a group of 4 gals. Ambiance was great, but drinks and food did not live up to standards. Ordered a drink and the glass was only about 3/4 full (cost $15), however it did taste good. My friends ordered raspberry pastries that had quite a bitter aftertaste. I wonder if it was because of the holiday pop up, but I was not super impressed with the food/drinks. Decorated well though!

    Chicken & Butternut Squash Flatbread
    Anna L.

    Robust is a great spot for a glass of wine and cheese - recommend sticking to that if you go in. Came for Winter WINEderland and the decor was on point! Poor waitress was running around like crazy, could use a bit more staff. Cocktail was a bit sweet, food nothing special (a bit greasy and basic) but my glass of Pinot was delish. I'll stick to wine on future visits because this is a solid spot for drinks (especially in the summer on the patio)

    Whipped Brie raspberry pastries
    Haleh M.

    Came for the Winter Winderland pop-up and it was gorgeous inside! We had made a reservation and were seated promptly. Ordered the snow globe cocktail which was yummy but was very disappointed with the presentation of the cocktails as well as the whipped raspberry Brie pastries. Very likely that it was because of how busy they were that night but disappointing nonetheless

    Split Croque Madame
    Joe L.

    My wife and I stopped by for dinner here on a Saturday evening around 5pm. It was a bit windy outside so we opted to eat in the main area inside. Our server provided excellent service throughout our meal and was especially helpful in helping us pick out wines we would enjoy. While asking her questions about the various Chardonnays, we explained that I prefer "buttery" and my wife prefers "oaky", she went to the bar and came back with a sample pour for each of us. We both loved the wine she had selected for us. We ordered a Cheese Board and Meat Board and enjoyed that with our wine. We noted that a band was setting up to play and wished we could have stayed longer to hear them. After the Cheese/Meat Boards, we split a Croque Madame, which the restaurant kindly split for us. I thought all the food was excellent and we will definitely return to dive further into their menu. Robust Wine Bar is a great choice in a location that has lots of different places and ample free parking.

    Good service and ambiance was fantastic. Great weather out on the patio with the chef's recommended shareable. Yum!

Since then, Olive + Oak has moved to its current location, which is spacious, airy and filled with light. And somehow, our experience last night was even better than what I remembered. I was having dinner with three friends I used to work with, and Abby, our server, was outstanding from start to finish. I arrived first and had a chance to chat with her before everyone else got there. Her energy and personality immediately stood out, and I knew she was going to be a hit with our group. Hard to believe she has been at Olive + Oak for only six months. She kept taking care of us throughout the evening. She really wanted us to try the grilled carrots, so she brought us an order on the house. Later, one of the managers stopped by with wine glasses and poured us some wine, also compliments of the restaurant. Those unexpected touches made an already great evening even more memorable. With four of us, we were able to explore quite a bit of the menu. We started with the Chicken Wings, Charred Octopus and Lion's Mane Steak. All three were distinctive and delicious. The Fried Green Tomato Salad was enormous, easily enough for all four of us to share, and packed with flavor. We learned it was leaving the menu after that night, so our timing was pretty good. For my entrée, I had the Grilled Flank Steak with crispy Parmesan potatoes, along with a side of Olive + Oak fries. Incredible. The fries were world-class, and Abby even tracked down some barbecue sauce for me to dunk them in. And those Grilled Carrots Abby insisted we try? Wow! Definitely one of the surprises of the night. We finished by sharing two new desserts, the Cloud Cake and Samoa Cookie Cake. Both were super delicious and a great way to end the meal. We ultimately spent more than three hours at Olive + Oak, and never once felt rushed. We were there to reconnect, tell stories and enjoy being together again. Great food certainly mattered, but the warm, attentive service made the evening even better. Eight years was way too long between visits. Olive + Oak remains my favorite St. Louis restaurant.

The rest of the cocktail list is full of creativeness and I feel you can't go wrong with any of them. And then the dips! So good plus the homemade pita is delicious. Dinner menu starts at 5 so we stayed to try more of what The Rabbit has to offer. We ordered the onion rings, gnocchi and meatballs. Unexpectedly, the gnocchi was in a light yet very flavorful broth. It was our favorite dish from the dinner menu. The onion rings were okay and pretty greasy. The labneh sauce was the standout part of the onion rings. The meatballs were also flavorful with a hint of spice yet a tad bit dry. Still worth ordering.

The cocktails were perfectly balanced, the pork was cooked sous vide and so succulent, and the veggies were tender with drool-worthy flavor. Most of all, everything tasted so delicious and real. It was also not too expensive for this high quality of dining, delivered with warm, genuine service. Our dining experience was an incredible 10/10. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and can't wait to return.
