    Sadly, I've only been here twice but each time was better than the last. Jordan was our server and was outstanding from beginning to end. To start, I got a small Caesar. It was filling and the croutons were delicious. Drink wise, I went with the socialista and was pleasantly surprised. It was fruity but not overly sweet. For my entree, I got the steak frites and substituted the side for Brussel sprouts and got the truffle fries based on Jordan's recommendation. The steak was ok, but the chimichurri def made it better. As Jordan mentioned, the fries were a hit. Sadly, the Brussel sprouts were not as I had hoped. I was expecting them to come crispy and seasoned but they weren't. Overall, service was great and the food was just as good.

    We made reservations for dinner on Mother's day. None of us had ever been to Stone Turtle before, I wanted to try Brunch, but dinner reservations were more open. It's a small place, cozy dining room and a separate bar. Hostess stand right up front and Genesis greeted us and also was our server. She was great, lots of energy and really cared about making our experience a great one. She was fabulous throughout! She had the bartender create a drink using mezcal and smoke, it was really good, a great start. The Caprese salad was our appetizer of choice, we enjoyed it and got extra bread to soak up the oil and vinegar. I ordered the grilled salmon with roasted potatoes and asparagus. It came with horseradish and a bourbon citrus glaze. It was cooked well and I enjoyed the horseradish, had never had it with salmon before. Our fist visit was a success, we will be back to try brunch soon

    Caesar with salmon

    Great experience here tonight. We sat at a high top table in the bar and Genesis waited on us. She was delightful. Friendly and very polite. I ordered the Caesar salad with salmon and asked for my salmon to be medium rare because so often salmon is overcooked. Well it came out a bit too rare- which is easy to resolve than when overdone. Genesis was happy to ask the kitchen to throw it back on for 1-2 minutes. Salad was delicious. I love their croutons- which usually I ignore but theirs were really good. My friend got a salad with steak and the steak was also tasty.

    Stone Turtle always hits for brunch! I had made plans with friends to go to the pool but the weather wasn't cooperating, this was the best alternative to spend time together and enjoy a great meal! We always get the bottle to make our own mimosas and it's truly the best and most cost effective. I got the burger and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. I've loved everything I've had here and am making a conscious effort to come back for dinner.

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Went in Friday evening & the staff & owner were so attentive trying to find us a table. Only took a few minutes til a bar spot opened up. I have been here many times but tried some nee items this go around. Steak au poivre Caesar salad Truffle aioli & parm fries. Caesar was so good we ordered a 2nd one! The steak was melt in your mouth. The grits were amazing- a pan fried(?) slice. Crispy yet creamy & oh so delicious. Bar is dark & chill atmosphere. Miley the bartender makes some mean cocktails. And the cocktail ice cubes have turtles or dragons in them. Just a fun little thing to remember them by.

    City dining in November with my wife's college friend. We chose Stone Turtle. some place new to everybody. This little quaint restaurant in Dogtown is small and intimate. It has basic burgers to nice steak dinners. I had the steak entree special 12 oz strip steak and saffron risotto. The steak was cooked to medium as I like it and the risotto was a nice mouthfeel soft melt in your mouth flavorful.. I added a white wine to go with my steak choice A Hess Chardonnay this was easy drinking and slightly fruity . We opted out of the desert menu. A tough decision although the desert menu was tempting. I recommend this restaurant you will not be disappointed with Stone Turtle

    Cozy ambiance but the food and service seemed very slow. I ordered cheese curds and a side house salad. Asked for some ranch to go with the cheese curds (was charged extra for the dipping sauce - strange that the curds don't come with a sauce and would have been nice to be told that it's an extra charge for jalepeno ranch). The cheese curds were good. I did end up sending the salad back after two bites because it had goat cheese on it. (Totally my fault for not realizing that there was goat cheese. Was still surprised to see it on my bill but did not complain as it was my fault for not remembering that it had it on there. I would have asked to have it removed, and the waiter did offer to have the chef remake it.) The other diners with me did enjoy their meals and libations.

    Amazing service by Genesis. Steak was just okay but very fair price. A little too much sauce. Amazing drinks, great price & tons of options esp na. Buratta salad very gd. Salmon nice, grits a little too salty but loved them as an option.

    Our whole family loves the giant stone turtle by the Zoo so the name of this restaurant caught my eye. It is several blocks south of the eponymous statue, and the restaurant likes in the heart of Dogtown. The restaurant is dived into two areas, a dining room and a bar area. There are a mixture of booths and tables, with most seating 4 people. The interior is welcoming and has a warm vibe to it. The acoustics were somewhat loud, but that was the only complaint. Our server Genesis was very enthusiastic and attentive. There were a large number of beers on draft and a good selection of cocktails. The food I'd describe as american fare mixed with asian themes. We got Tiger Rolls which were crab rangoon in egg roll form, some ribs with asian seasoning ,and a brisket dip and fries. All three were very good. The brisket dip was HUGE and I ended up taking all of it home. Overall this is a good addition to the Dogtown neighborhood and it is worth checking out.

    This was a disappointing experience - especially with regard to wait times. My sister & I had to wait about 10 minutes for our server to come to our table. They we waited about 20 minutes for our drinks. Then, 10 minutes later, after we received her salad and my appetizer, we had to wait about 40 minutes for our entrees. My Italian Spritz cocktail was light and refreshing. The Tiger Rolls appetizer was pretty good. It's kind of like an egg roll version of crab rangoon. They were served with cilantro jam dipping sauce, which was OK. I pretty much just ate my Tiger Rolls on their own. Regarding my entree, my pork chop was delicious, and cooked to a perfect medium. However, the cheddar grits that came with it, while they were flavorful, were overcooked and lumpy. Also, the Brussels sprouts side item probably could've used some more roasting. The pork chop was the most enjoyable item on my plate. It appeared as though they were understaffed for the evening. Our server apologized for the excessive wait times, informing us that the kitchen was getting slammed. Nevertheless, having to wait so long for our food prevented us from having an enjoyable meal.

    The food was really good and tasty! The calamari was pretty airy. The steak and chimichari was melt in your mouth and the brisket tasted so good. The servers were fast and helpful! The resturant was nice but you could also wear jeans

    We came here for Father's Day and we did enjoy our meal. I got the pork chop and it tasted pretty good and was seasoned very nicely. I wish the menu had a few more options. I also got the watermelon drink and it was very good and refreshing. I also asked for it to be sweeter and they did that. We got there right when it open and it seemed like it did take a little while for our food to get to our table. But overall, the service was good.

    Lazy Tiger is a part of the Yellow Belly and Extra Wavy family of restaurants that focuses on…read moreinventive cocktail creations and seafood forward dishes. The restaurant itself is quite small and is located on the other side of Yellow Belly. The entrance has minimal space that looks to be able to accommodate 4 or 6 people if you're waiting for a table. Inside, the spacing is fairly decent for being a smaller location. I didn't feel too crammed dining and the 2-seater table was of normal size so there was enough room. We were seated right by the entrance with a curtain separating the area. True to its name, a Tiger statue sits at the entrance which is decorated in tropical manner. The theme continues within the restaurant. Lazy Tiger has a happy hour which if I remember correctly, ended at 6:30. Their cocktails are $12 during happy hour (rather than $14) and they have a selection of snack type items which you could have as appetizers if you'd like. We both got a cocktail. My husband had the human costume (gin, amaro, blanc vermouth, melon, gnartruese, malic acid) and I had the humble brag (gin, rhum, salted banana, forbidden rice, coconut, lemon). Both were refreshing and different but in a good and surprising way. We started with the nachos from the happy hour menu and added some pork belly per our writer's recommendation. I love pork belly anything anyway. The nacho was a huge serving! And it was very tasty with a good amount of crispy pork belly peppered throughout. I had the Morrocan spiced halibut served with couscous, asparagus, Spanish chorizo, tomatoes, pistachio dukkah. Halibut was well seasoned and prepared perfectly. We also shared an order of the vegetable fried rice and added some spam because I am a sucker for spam fried rice. It came with some chili crisps which brought the dish to another level. My husband had the tamales which he thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't get to try some but it looked fantastic. We ended up taking home the rest of my meal and the rest of the fried rice which have been devoured over the weekend. Service was fantastic. I love the vibe, I love the food!

It was a carrot cake that I'm pretty sure had cheesecake btwn the layers. I only had 1 small bite of that part. Entrees ordered were seafood risotto, sweet chili glazed salmon and the special of the night which was a pork chop over risotto. Per my friend her salmon was delicious. My risotto was overcooked so the clams were rubbery-yuk. The shrimp looked overcooked but they actually tasted fine. The pork chop was good but not great per report. We did get bruschetta as an appetizer- again good but not great as there was too much balsamic glaze such that it was overly sweet. Jonathan was our server and I had the impression he was new to the job. He did fine but it was small things. A definite detractor was the location of our table- we were right next to the kitchen. If I backed my chair up I would have been in their pathway. Anyway they left the door to kitchen open and it was sooooo noisy. Yes I could have asked them to close door but the heat would have probably too much for them then.

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 service was friendly but a bit uneven, considering how empty it was when we first arrived. There were some long waits for drinks, and a couple of mix-ups. I believe the main source of confusion was that one big check had been started, but with people coming and going at different times, it had to be split into separate checks on the back side so people could pay before leaving. I do recommend them for happy hour and plan to return.
