My husband and I had our first Friday night dinner of 2024 here. Located inside the Seven Gables…read moreInn in downtown Clayton, the place was easy to find. I have been on a Gilmore Girls rewatch kick lately, and my husband thought this was a cute place (inn restaurant concept) to bring me to for dinner. Parking can be a challenge, but we found a spot right around the block. There was one large table occupied by a few people and a couple of patrons at the bar when we came in. I told the bartender we had reservations for dinner, she told me to pick a table and followed with the digital menus. They had 4 options for dinner: chicken, burger, salmon, and steak. I just had steak the previous Friday night and during NYE that I decided the only option was the chicken dish being allergic to salmon and not a huge fan of burgers. Their beverage menu was extensive, though! I had a glass of cabernet and my husband ordered a draft beer. We started our meal with an order of their artichoke boursin beignet. They came out quickly and tasted fantastic! My bourbon chicken was prepared well and very flavorful. It was served over veggies and a bit of giardeniera. The chef delivered it to our table as well. It was quite lovely! My husband had the burger. He liked it and ate the whole thing. He is definitely more of a burger fan than I am. To finish off the evening, we ordered the chocolate lava cake served with vanilla ice cream on top. While the chocolate cake was delicious and moist, it was slightly overbaked and there was no lava going on. It was still a lovely mini chocolate cake though! Overall, I enjoyed our visit here. While downtown Clayton is not as quaint as Stars Hollow, the food we were served tasted wonderful, and the service was warm and friendly!

Definitely higher end, very fresh, well plated. We both left pretty full. Steak was cooked perfectly. I could somewhat justify the price of it based on the quality, but paired with the overall experience, it just wasn't for us. My husband and I have been to MANY expensive, higher end restaurants, both across the St. Louis region, across the nation, and across many a foreign country (Europe, Asia, Central America). For a $500 meal (two coursed meals and wine pairing), this just didn't hit the mark for us. We had a 7:30PM reservation for my Husband's birthday. We did not get our first course until 8:15. We went over 30 minutes in between some courses. Our wine glasses were empty most of the meal. The overall "experience" took almost 3 hours for four courses. We've been to restaurants where the meal was 2.5 - 3 hours, but it was not us waiting around. Here, we spent most of the time just waiting, wondering when our next course would be. The server gave lots of excuses, mostly "there was a big top in the bar room" but for the cost of the meal, that's not really an excuse. Especially when the restaurant wasn't full and we had made a reservation. We literally talked about getting up and walking out at one point. There was another couple that had an 8PM reservation, and they were getting the same courses as us, but before us. There was also a Gentleman that sat next to us who came in around 8:30, had three courses, and was out within an hour. This is St. Louis. The other few restaurants in the region at that price point have been white glove. Never an empty glass, attentive service, never waiting between courses. Honestly, I was somewhat appalled by my experience here, especially reading the other reviews. It was just not good.

While it was festive, the Christmas décor wasn't as extensive as I expected for a pop-up, and the drink menu didn't feel much different from their regular offerings. The food was decent.

Service was excellent, and the bartenders were both friendly and attentive. Drinks and food were quite expensive, but we appreciated receiving a complimentary dessert for the birthday. Overall, it was a nice experience with some highlights, though not something I'd go out of my way for.

Perfect for a chilly evening. The bar on the second level was a little smaller, but highly functional. The team were so hospitable and friendly. The bartenders made quick work of keeping drinks full and the party going. The food was absolutely delicious! Cocktail hour consisted of a variety of appetizers including toasted ravioli, mini egg rolls, wontons, and chicken bites. Just what you need in your belly while consuming alcohol. Our meal will rate very high on my list of favorite wedding reception meals. The quality of the ingredients was reflected in the execution of each dish. Everything was perfectly done. This was a fantastic experience! Hoping I have more friends getting married soon so we can go back!

The menu, while it gives you an elevated American food vibe, it is approachable and non-pretensious at the same time. Complimentary bread, served in a cast iron dish has a consistency that reminds you of a cross between corn bread and yeast bread. A nice crisp outside and fluffy center. The T-Ravs had a bit of ricotta in the blend which gave it some creaminess. Not being overly hungry, I went with a Ceasar salad, Tater Tot Casserole and Brussel Sprouts. All of it delicious. Needed a bit more dressing on the salad, but the tater tots Casserole was stupendous! Such a comforting dish, too large to eat the whole thing, but delicious the next day.

The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and effortlessly charming -- the kind of place you instantly want to stay awhile. We ordered a couple glasses to try, shared small bites, and let the conversation carry the night. Everything felt thoughtful, from the wine selection to the perfectly paired snacks. It's ideal for catching up, celebrating something small, or just romanticizing an ordinary weeknight. The vibe is relaxed but still feels special, like you planned something intentional. If you're looking for a low-key but elevated spot for a girls' evening or date night, this is it. Safe to say, this one's going into our "let's go back soon" list.

First of all, the place is classy that I was too embarrassed to take photos and will have to rely on words alone to describe my dining experience. We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated promptly at a corner table. The place has a romantic vibe and the noise level was low. Perfect for when you want to dine in peace. Our waitee came over shortly to take our drink orders. They gave us 2 different menu versions as mine didn't have the prices but his did. I had a glass of cabernet and my husband had a nice cocktail to start. We shared the crab cake (pan seared, with citrus salad, lemon remulade and pickeld red onions. My husband also got the French onion soup because he likes French onion soup and he said it was great. The crab cakes were delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite! I had the ribeye prepared medium rare and my husband had the salmon. We also ordered the brussel sprouts and creamed spinach sides to share which were all lovely and well seasoned. My steak was prepared the way I asked for it to be and our dinner proceeded smoothly. Our waiter came and checked on us regularly to make sure we were well tended to and got us another round of drinks. I was unfortunately too full for dessert which is unusual as I always try to have dessert on Friday nights. However, getting full on a fantastic meal was not something I regretted. And I had leftovers for the weekend as well! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Tenderloin Room except that I cannot wait to return and have more of their delicious steak!
