There are Specials every day of the week. We got the $1 wing special and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Special. We were able to split our sauce for the wings but wish we stuck with the sweet &Spicy (I think that was the name) the Buffalo was way to hot for us. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich was very good!!!!

So we will have to go back and check it out!! Parking can be a challenge..especially on weekends and when they have Live music. And $6.50 for 1 trip to the Salad Bar is a bit Steep..

It seemed a surprisingly quiet night at Timothy's for a New Year's Eve. Tables were about full when…read morewe arrived, but we must have been the last reservation they accepted (at 8:15) because when we left at 10 we were the only ones left and the staff had reset the room and was starting to gather in the bar. As they should on NYE. Still, we never felt rushed. In fact, our waiter, Todd, was very attentive and even slowed down another server who was going to bring us our salads (a house and a caesar with anchovies) before we had a chance to finish our appetizer (a savory and spicy jambalaya arancini). Good catch on his part. We both had a glass of prosecco to start and then split a bottle of French pinot noir (Domaine de Valmoissine) to go with our entrees (steak tip pasta and steak frites). My wife loved the pasta dish (fresh pappardelle with steak tips, demiglace cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms) and my steak was perfectly prepared medium-rare with crisp and flavorful garlic fries and a side of green beans and shiitake mushrooms. It's the kind of meal and service we've come to expect at Timothy's. We look forward to the spring and some new menu items with the change of seasonal foods.

It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes from the trip. I also had a scallop dish that was just as good -- rich, well-seasoned, and beautifully prepared. On top of the food, they have a really strong wine selection, which made the experience even better. The overall vibe is polished and elevated without feeling too formal. Service was great, food came out on time, and everything felt intentional. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner spot in St. Louis.

The waiter was super helpful in helping us pick out a nice red blend. We got the octopus as a starter, which I don't personally love octopus, but my friend thought it was the best in stl. I also got the apple dish, which was listed under the salads but the waiter was sure to explain it's not an actual salad. Since it wasn't a full salad I also got the soup. Both the apple dish and soup were really good. It's street parking but there's lots of spots in the area. The bathroom is super nice with hairspray and mints if needed. Nice place for a good meal.

We have a friend from Waterloo who raves about this place, so we wanted to try it. First of all,…read morevibes! Swanky, classy and dark interior, with a speakeasy-roaring 20's feel. It was raining the day we came so did not get to experience the rooftop. It was not busy on the day we came but we were seated fairly close to a lingering group of 6 who were incredibly loud, which was disappointing. We were there on a Sunday which is a limited menu because of the featured all-you-can-eat Sunday fried chicken dinner served family style. It's a great deal at $19/adult! Included are biscuits, dirty mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans, corn custard, and then the chicken. Biscuits were VERY hard...like could hurt someone if you threw it at them hard. Green beans and dirty mash were exceptional along with the accompanying gravy. I also really enjoyed the chicken--flavorful, juicy, nice crust, piping hot. The corn custard, while the texture and corn flavor were nice, lacked seasoning. They mean it when they say all you can eat, and we were even given boxes to take home the few extras our stomachs didn't have room for. The service was unfortunately not great, took a while to see our waiter and we were never offered water refills. Overall, a nice restaurant with good food, would love to try their full menu. I deducted a star for noise, service, and a couple food items being a bit subpar. It was a half hour drive for us so if we ever happen to be in Waterloo would like to go back but probably wouldn't make a special trip for it due to the drive and us not being absolutely blown away.

For our pre-Christmas dinner, my husband brought me here…read more The place is located in downtown Waterloo. There were plenty of street parking available and within walking distance from the restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately and brought to an elevator. We were seated on the second floor overlooking the streets. The place is beautifully decorated from what looked like repurposed doors. I'm not sure if the door looks were intentional or they truly were repurposed. Either way, they gave the restaurant characters. Our waitress stopped by shortly after we were seated and took our drink orders. After she brought us our drinks, we placed an order for some smoked prawn roll (jalapeño cream cheese mousse, red pepper jelly, fried wanton and cucumber). Delicious! Next came our entrée. I ordered the 16 oz cowboy ribeye, medium rare. The steaks are a la carte. I ordered a side of brown butter asparagus to go with my steak. They offer accouterment for the steaks but I decided against it. My steak was prepared properly and was quite tasty. My husband had the grilled salmon which he also thoroughly enjoyed. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate grand Marnier creme caramel. It was divine! Overall, our dining experience was wonderful. Making the 20-minute trek was well worth it.

( my suggestion would be to toss them with the hot honey and roasted them) We got the pick two duo with brisket and ribs and he said they were okay.

It turns out we've been driving past a Kirkwood treasure all this time. This is "upscale-casual" at its finest--professional and refined, but with a neighborhood heart. Service & Logistics The service here is exceptionally polished. From the friendly hosts to our knowledgeable server, everything ran like clockwork. We even had a visit from a gentleman I presume was the owner (likely Bob, who has been at the helm for decades). He didn't just "check-in"--he saw we needed a few items and personally took care of it. Pro Tips: * Reservations: Don't look for them on OpenTable. They use their own dedicated form on their website, which is simple and efficient. * Wednesday Wine: If you can, visit on a Wednesday. They offer half-priced wine bottles with your meal--a fantastic value for their extensive collection. Cocktails & Drinks The bar program here is excellent, and the bartender was friendly and engaging. * White Negroni (4.5/5): Though they may not have had Suze (the drink wasn't perfectly clear), the bartender absolutely nailed the flavor profile and balance. * Barrel-Finished Manhattan (4.5/5): Their use of an in-house barrel finish makes this classically executed cocktail a real standout--highly recommended for whiskey lovers. * Wine: They have an awesome selection. Definitely ask your server for recommendations! The Food: American Fare with a Global Twist * House Salad (4.5/5): You have to try their house dressing--it's a creamy garlic style that reminds me of the classic Mayfair Hotel dressing. It's incredibly tasty and a true St. Louis staple. * Blackened Grouper (4.5/5): As someone who loves Florida grouper, this hit the mark. Lightly blackened with a fresh mango salsa; vibrant and perfectly executed. * Rainbow Trout (4.25/5): The orange tarragon cream sauce is the star. It was perfectly balanced--enough to enhance the fish and rice without being "soupy." * Pilot House Chicken (4.5/5): A delicious, well-seasoned chicken breast. Savory, juicy, and very well-prepared. * Extras (5/5): They start you with lavash crackers and butter, and the hot, fresh rolls are dangerous. They even finish the night with powdered sugar cookies--a classic Sunset 44 touch. Dessert * S'more Cheesecake & Chocolate Martini (4.5/5): We opted for this beautifully executed, unique dessert. It was yummy on its own, but ordering a Chocolate Martini to accompany it was the perfect move. The Vibe: It definitely skews toward a more mature, quiet crowd. It's the perfect place if you actually want to hear the people you're dining with.
