My husband and I had our first Friday night dinner of 2024 here. Located inside the Seven Gables Inn 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! read more

Michael was great and service was outstanding. Love the ambiance and look and feel. Food was good and expect it it continue improving as they gain experience (only opened a week ago). Went for breakfast and look forward to trying lunch sometime soon. read more

Just went for a few drinks. Bartender was fun, cool and friendly! We ordered a round of drinks, tried to order a second round, but found out they had ran out of one of the components (primary reason for 3 stars). The decor was a bit disconnected being a mix of fine dining for seating and pictures, and sports bar vibes with tv's all around. A quick and friendly place to stop in for drinks. I did not have food so cannot comment on that. read more

Visited during Clayton Restaurant Week. Don't think they were prepared (by that I mean staffed) to handle a full restaurant. Took over 15 minutes for someone to take my order. Food was good, but after seeing them on KMOV preparing the same thing I ordered, I expected better than what I received. Small fish potion that resembled scraps from left over pieces instead if a full sized single piece of fish, with lots of sauce to hide the deed. Heirloom Tomato Tartine app arrived with entree. Unable to eat it since it required a streak knife to cut. Couldn't get anyone's attention until I was mostly finished with entree. Small cheesecake portion. Wasn't worth $50+ drink. read more

Looked forward to going and trying it during Clayton Restaurant Week. They were advertised and being part of the event. When I called to make reservations, the woman that answered was rather rude and stated they were not participating in the Restaurant Week. The way she spoke to me it left a bad taste in my mouth. There are many restaurants in Clayton. I will happy go somewhere else. read more

Came here for clayton restaurant week. What a great value for $25! The staff was super nice. They weren't very good at course timing. We got our apps and dinner at the same time. It was about 15min between salad and apps and 15min between dinner and desert. We ordered 2 apps, the tuna tartare and sliders. Tuna was ok but wasnt cold as I expected. They did sear it and cut it into tiny pieces. The wontons were really greasy. The sliders were sub par. All pretty dry and plane. The meat was smashed so thin all you tasted was bun. The tzatziki sauce was dry like blue cheese. The pam seared salmon was really good and I liked the sauce. Rice was spot on too. The veggie ham mix was almost all salty ham flavor. No thanks. The strip steak wasnt cooked that well. They charred the outside and left the middle pretty raw for a medium rare. Lots of stringy veins not rendered out. The veggies were a soggy mess of butter and pepper. And the mashed potatoes were the smashed variety and mostly butter flavor. The carrot cake is no good either. Tasted like it was frozen and recently thawed. The middle had that frozen chill to it. It was super dry and crumbly and the caramel sauce was really sticky and fake tasting. read more

We made a reservation for 8 pm after attending a concert at the Ethical society. Arrived on time at "Seven" and we were told to take a seat anywhere. I asked to be seated in the courtyard and was told it was not open. We took a seat in the restaurant where we were the only ones there with the exception of two loud (drunk) "headhunters" just wrapping up a losing "close" on 3 young law students. The waitress showed us the electronic menu and took our drink order of a Pepsi for me and a Scotch on the rocks for her. The waitress showed my wife the bar menu and went to get my Pepsi. She came back with it and when my wife asked where the scotch was on the menu, she was told that they had none. We could see a bottle of J&B from our seat and told her that, yes, they had scotch. She brought the bartender over who told us of the wonderful Scotch that they had. They decided on a Glenfidtich on the rocks. The waitress took our order of Osso Buco for my wife and the Twin Lobster tails for me. The waitress then asked my wife how she would like the Osso Buco cooked, WITH A STRAIGHT FACE! When we saw she wasn't joking, we just agreed to "well". A few minutes later the waitress came back and told us that "They did not have Osso Buco and that they did not have Twin Lobster tail." We decided to end what we decided was going to be a miserable time at what we had thought was one of our more favored restaurants in STL. For anyone thinking that maybe we were not dressed correctly, my wife was in a flowered summer dress and I wore a light summer jacket and shirt. read more

We had an amazing time. Service was so genuinely friendly and wine and food were delicious. A new favorite! read more

Chef Kevin is yet again preparing the most delicious food! I highly recommend you check out his newly updated menu. You will most definitely not be disappointed!! We can't wait to go again and try another dish over Clayton Restaurant week. read more

Enjoyed a drink and appetizer with husband. Delicious flatbread and excellent service. Returned for shrimp & grits and chicken pot pie. Both delicious. Service is excellent. A really nice place. read more

We live very close by and really wanted to like it. However it was a horrible dinner experience all around. The new management does not know what it wants to be. There is no cohesiveness to the ambiance or menu. The ipad menus are a disorganized disaster. My menu differed from my husband's and the server had difficulty with it as well. The atmosphere gave such a foreboding that the food would be bad, that we only ended up ordering the fish tacos, which were indeed bad. Both the grilled and breaded versions were very dry and fishy smelling, yet tasteless. It seemed like frozen fish that had not been thawed and cooked properly. Do not eat here. We truly wanted to like it but will not return. read more

What a great place! Love the food and especially the new menu. Looking forward to coming in for breakfast soon. My favorite appetizer would be the deviled eggs. One of the most unique dishes I've tried! Nice HH specials and excellent bourbon selection. Will be back! read more

Took my wife to stay at the seven gables inn for her birthday. We had the pleasure of having brunch here... let me tell you, being a St. Louis native we have eaten at at of the brunch spots in St. Louis and this is the hidden gem that everyone needs to try. We had the shrimp and grits and ham Bennie. They were out of this world with flavors. Everything is made to order and fresh... not a single prepackaged bottle of sauce used. If you want something that is unique and feels like grandma cooked for you this is your Sunday brunch spot! read more

The head of house Walker could not have been nicer and more welcoming. The food was amazing. The rose was cold. It was absolutely a perfect spring lunch!!!!! I wish I lived in the STL and could come here more! Keep up the good work! read more

If you are ever passing thru St Louis and need a hotel, Seven Gables Marriott Portfolio Collection in Clayton is an excellent choice. 1928 restoration hotel with good amenities. Enjoyed time at the 7 Restaurant chatting with Walker, Food and Beverage Mgr, for a couple hours last night which made for a fun evening. Walker was back early this morning for Sunday brunch. Excellent food and atmosphere. Restaurant is so good the locals come there for dinner and special occasions. Walker has secured an awesome chef who runs the kitchen and a mixologist. Walker made the dining experience top notch. read more

I took an invited a Japanese speaker at my university here for dinner after their talk. From the photos on the website it looked like a nice restaurant, but it's a sports bar. Oh, not the vice I wanted. But the service was fab, great wait person. The main courses were good, but the appetizer was awful. We ordered two of the Tuna Sashimi for $18.00 each. EEUW!! The wasabi was brown and rock hard! FFS! And no soy sauce. Just icky as hell. read more

I really want to love the new menu and updates to this hotel- the patio furniture is so uncomfortable to sit for a long time and it really didn't fit the ambiance of the courtyard- was excited to try to Busch's Grove Russ's salad. It is NOT the same. Grilled chicken and grilled shrimp and the dressing was not the same. The pork chop and polenta was pretty greasy/ it was their special of the night. The service was fair, but our waitress was new (2nd day). The courtyard was busy. Almost every table was full. I will try it again and order something different. I really love the Seven Gables. read more

Ordered a vegetable medley. It was about 3/4 of a cup of chopped vegetables. Tastes great, too much money for a tiny portion. Also walk to the restaurant, do not order from room. Yes, make the walk! Food was about an hour late. Almost empty hotel. Hotel front desk young man didn't communicate with restaurant, hence the huge delay in receiving our food. Lefts review on the Facebook page and they didn't post. Makes me wonder how many other posts weren't mentioned. read more

Outstanding meal last night - even on Valentine's Day. Went with several friends and WOW food hasn't been this good at Seven Gables since the old Bernard's Days! Clayton has a new destination restaurant - and best of all they use tablecloths so it's quiet enough to hear your table mates! Strikes the right balance between a sophisticated new place in Clayton - and a place for a nice dinner for hotel guests. From lighter dishes like halibut to hearty winter fare like duck and beef a little something for everyone. New chef - new menu - check it out! read more

One of the best dinners we have had in months the food was cooked to perfection and the staff was warm and inviting.

This restaurant should NOT have Russ's salad on the menu claiming it's the same as Russ's from Busch's Grove , far from it and could not even eat it. The dressing ( which I got on the side thank God) was a dish of mayonnaise with some green bits in it!!! When I asked the waitress she said it was yogurt and mayonnaise, that is NOT the Russ's dressing! Bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer was a joke , 3 baby shrimp on skewer over iceberg lettuce!!! more like baby frozen shrimp and also only two shrimp in the salad cooked like the appetizer one!! Beware they are only using the names of the "classics" on the menu and have no idea how to even cook them. On a Friday night there was only one bartender, one waitress and she was both!!! Bad time. read more

The food was amazing. We sat on a beautiful patio, and the chicken pot pie and chopped salad were delicious. We got to meet the chef after our meal, and he was very kind and personable. The servers all wore gloves and masks, and the tables were six feet apart, so it felt safe. However, the service could have been better. A larger blonde woman in her 30s or 40s wearing a sleeveless shirt and high heels served us. She was nice to us, but when she got busy and had to have the front desk kid or another server run food or fill drinks, you could hear her yelling at them all the way from the kitchen. She cursed at this poor kid (couldn't have been more than 15 or 16) right in front of us just for not knowing where to set our food. I understand that they were busy (maybe eight or nine tables for two servers), and some of the people they got to help maybe weren't trained or just were new, but I find it disheartening to see kids yelled at like that. I felt the need to personally apologize to this kid and the other server for how they were treated. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner on Saturday night. It was Clayton restaurant week, so it was a limited menu, but there was something in each category that we loved! In addition to the appetizer, entree, and dessert, we were surprised to learn that a salad was included. There was so much food, and it was all prepared perfectly - we had to bring home doggie bags! We each enjoyed a delicious Cesar salad, the tuna appetizer, a steak entree and seafood entree, and then dessert packed to go, as we were too full to eat one more morsel. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of Clayton, and located in the recently refurbished 7 Gables Inn, in a totally desirable Clayton location. The only thing missing was a warmer temperature outside. Our server was great, and Barry, the manager, is a total delight. We will definitely return. read more
