Had such a lovely afternoon here catching up with a close friend! The atmosphere in this friendly and warm restaurant has always been very welcoming, but today was something else . We were greeted by the best server, Maz, who immediately fulfilled our request for being seated near the sunlight, and recommended we get the mimosa bucket! His jokes cracked us up, so we complied haha. Once the conversation was flowing, it was time to order our brunch for the day. They have a separate brunch menu : We shared the Waffles+fruits: very refreshing, served with fresh watermelon, strawberries and blackberries, with a crisp golden waffle in the center topped with whipped cream. Flawless and light and airy. Mushroom omelet: great option for those choosing to eat vegetarian. The spinach, arugula and mushroom were in a perfect ratio with the egg, and it comes with a generous portion of fries. Maz was kind enough to bring us a locally made green hot sauce which was truly delightful. We wrapped up our brunch with a slice of cheesecake. Definitely coming here again to have shots with Maz . read more

Went for brunch on a Sunday with a few girlfriends and it was so busy! We were lucky we had a reservation. We opted to get several plates and share everything. We go two smashed avocado toast which were okay- nothing to write home about- were on English muffins. Their chicken and waffles were good and the omelet was delicious. The omelet was probably my favourite! Would comeback. Good service and food comes out quickly. read more

Everything was great, the food as well as the service. They were accommodating without being bothersome. My sister had a large salmon steak with excellent grilled potatoes and asparagus. She loved it and I got a taste of the potatoes. They were excellent. I had the mushroom crochets were very nice. I also had the brussel sprouts, again they were very well grilled. I am a vegetarian and when ordering she got it and allowed me to get the sprouts without the bacon. Loved this place. Thank you very much. read more

The food was really good but it's pricey My wife and I both had a grilled chicken Caesar salad. And we also shared the tiger rolls. And we both had ice waters to drink. Again... the food tasted amazing but the cost was pricey. We paid $72 after a 20% tip read more

We were excited to try this restaurant as it's hard to find a good place open on Monday nights. The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We started with the calamari and the fried cheese curds. The cheese curds were amazing! The calamari was fine, but the aioli was lacking in flavor. I could have eaten my weight in those cheese curds. We had two orders of the fish & chips, the burger & the steak. First off, the fries were all good in their various flavors. The burger was good, but not the best I've ever had. The fish unfortunately was terrible. All 4 of us tried it. It lacked flavor, the batter wasn't that crispy, the fish was dry and flavorless. It was probably the worst fried fish I've had in awhile. The steak was fine, but again - nothing to write home about. We thought about ordering dessert, but a few of us had used the bathroom and noticed how dirty and grimey the floors, baseboards and walls were. It grossed us out and we left to have dessert elsewhere. It won't be the best or worst meal you've ever had if you try this place. Just don't do the fish & chips. read more

I had breakfast/brunch here. This place was amazing. Small, quaint, homey. Service was terrible and food was fresh and hot and delicious. I wish I lived in St. Louis. This would be my spot! read more

Amazing.... Came back, first time since COVID began and it's just as amazing as before. The service is fantastic (thank you Maz) sp? The food is awesome and the old fashions, PERFECT. I am not usually one to order a pork chop, because I figure it will be dry, like mine at at home, but Wowzers was I happy with my pork chop. Thick and juicy and cooked and seasoned perfectly. I kept eating, even though i was plenty full, but didn't want to stop tasting the goodness on my plate. My brothers fish n chips were really really good and my husbands salmon with the potatoes, wonderful... we can't wait to come back, likely for brunch. read more

I went here for a nice dinner with my friend...perfect place for a date...I especially like the bar area because of the low light. I also love the fireplace, interior brick,and aluminum ceiling that reminds me of New York. Though the service was a bit slow, and our waitress had to be flagged down every time we needed something, the food was impeccable! I got the egg roll appetizer, and split that with my friend, and I got the steak, which I ordered med rare...it came out between med rare and med, which was perfect! The meat melted in my mouth, it was delicious!!! The asparagus was pretty good as well, a little overcooked, but still good, and the grit au gratin was pretty dry. I wish they had just gone with some delicious traditional or non-traditional potatoes...like real au gratin. Anyway, my friend got the pork chop and lived it...he also did t like his grit potatoes, but at least the meats were fantastic! My dog very much enjoyed the pork chop bone! read more

Love this place! Every time I visit Saint Louis, Stone Turtle is always on my list of places to go. Great service, great food selections and excellent drinks. The smoking old fashion is a must - plus, you get toy turtle souvenirs in the ice block in your drink! They also have a nice Sunday brunch menu worth checking out. Been there several times, never had a bad experience! read more

My favorite place to dine in Dogtown so far. The food is spectacular, the vibe is great and the service is always on point. Nick is the manager and this guy is a class act let me tell ya. The pork tenderloin sando is a winner! The salmon entree kills it, the harvest salad is on point like no other salad should be, the sprouts are like crack and the cashew/pork belly apps are pure foodie crack, get them all, thank me later. The Berkshire pork chop is my favorite item on the menu bar none. Delicious period! Never been big on desserts (no sweet tooth I know of yet) but the NY style blueberry cheesecake is worth giving a go at for sure. Catch a game here, get drinks, grab a meal, happy hour etc.....it fits the bill for them all. Tell Nick Joshua says hello! read more

Love this cute corner spot in dogtown! They have a bar side and a more sit down type side depending on what vibe you are wanting. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I got the buratta mushroom salad and it was the BEST salad I have had in a long time! I also got the tiger rolls which were a nice change up to something more of a unique appetizer. @stl.foodie read more

Very friendly waitstaff in this affordable nicer place. Nice little intimate space that is half half table seating and half bar. Super simple and easy to follow menu. I ordered the salmon (which came with potatoes and asparagus). It was very good, but a little the wasabi in the seasoning was not distributed evenly and I got some very wasabi heavy bites. Fast service read more

I visited for brunch so I can't comment on the entire menu, but I wasn't impressed with my breakfast burrito, which was pulled pork, egg, cheese, and Siracha (allegedly) in a tortilla shell. The thing was massive, but after two bites I decided to just eat the accompanying French fries, which were tasty. The pork was bland as hell and cheese was nearly nonexistent. Fortunately I was able to feed my dogs a couple of meals with the leftover pork after I deconstructed the burrito at home. They would probably give it 5 stars. Then again they are used to Pedigree. The service was good so no complaints there. I'd probably try this place again for dinner if I was in the area. Chances are that's not going to happen. read more

Originally, my spouse and I came here with another couple to have brunch. Unfortunately, we found out that brunch was only served on Sundays. We were already there and decided to try out the lunch. To be honest, nothing really excited me, but I went with our server's recommendation, the Grilled Chicken Club. I substituted the side of fries with Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon. I was really surprised by the sandwich. Lots of places offer sandwiches so I wasn't expecting much, but I was really wowed. Everything from the bread to the chicken was absolutely delicious. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The bacon was really thick and sweet allowing the arugula to come in and balance the sandwich out. The roasted brussel sprouts were not mushy and were nice and firm. The crispy bacon in the brussel sprouts really enhanced the side, and they didn't skimp out on the bacon either. I'll definitely be back for brunch or dinner! read more

We chose Stone Turtle to host our son's Wedding Rehearsal dinner, and we could not be more pleased. Nick (the owner) did a fantastic job in the planning stages, offering us plenty of menu options and being open to our needs. He kept in touch, always responsive to emails and calls, taking care to make sure everything was completed on time and on budget. The night of the dinner, Nick and the entire staff were amazing. All friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for a better crew to take care of our group. The food was simply fantastic. Every single person in our group of 50+, without exception, was impressed with the their meal. Whether they had the burger, salmon, or their famous ribs, we heard nothing but praise for the food from all of our guests. Most importantly, the bride and both moms were completely happy. And in the end, that was the goal. Nick and his crew not only achieved that goal, they knocked it out of the park! read more

Their brunch impressed me! I'd return. Love the dog town location. Service was great too!

My husband and I have been here probably 30+ times over the past few years and the food and cocktails are always fantastic, but the shining star of this place is the service, particularly from Miley and Genesis! (Everyone here is very nice; we just always sit in the bar.) Do yourself a favor - grab a bar seat and explore the menu! read more

Umm, can I tell you how much I love this place? I learned there's an impressive happy hour at a Yelp event last night too, so you'll probably see me often. The buratta salad is heaven and I want the recipe to the salad dressing so I can have it in my daily life for lunch. The macaroni and cheese makes me think naughty things, for real I'd lick the cast iron skillet. The cocktails I drink by the twos and the Mexican lady is my absolute favorite. Smoky mezcal and basil simple syrup and cayenne salt rim. It pairs well with anything. I'm so happy for a place that can nail the cocktail and food game. I'm thrilled that you're here! Cheers! read more

Drinks were delicious--the Italian Spritz was refreshing. We tried tiger rolls--spicy and filling--and the fondue board with sausage, apples, bread and asparagus. We split the porcetta entre and enjoyed the rolled and smoked pork immensely. The side of yuca left something to be desired. Our waitress Genesis was a gem! We had early reservations so it was quiet, but by 7:00, every table was filled and there was a pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed our experience. read more

On my first visit, I was generally rather pleased with the caliber of the meal! In the end, I ordered the corn-fried pollock with chips, the eight-piece wing, and the house burger. The house burger was pretty thick and had a great flavor and was delicious. Additionally roasted to perfection with a hint of pink within. Neither the seafood nor the wings were to my taste. The wings were quite flavorless due to lack of seasoning, however the jalapeño ranch sauce compensated for them. The fish needed a little more flavor and could have been crispier. There was lots of open and booth seating, and the atmosphere was lovely and dimly lit. The assistance was prompt and effective. read more

Came here for my friends Christmas lunch after seeing good reviews on Yelp. Our party arrived in waves but the waitress continued to check on us after each new person arrived to see if we needed anything. Really appreciated that and she didn't seem annoyed at all. I got the Mac and cheese with a side of Brussels sprouts with bacon. Everything was good although I should have just split the mac and cheese with my friend who also got it as the serving was plenty for 2 people. My friend ordered Riesling and said she liked sweet wine so the waitress added some simple syrup to make it sweeter. Unfortunately it was too sweet but when we told the waitress she brought more wine to add and lessen the sweetness. Very much appreciated!! read more

Excellent spot in a very walkable neighborhood. Come here everytime I see my Dad in St. Louis.

As a Dogtown resident, I was thrilled to see a new addition to our charming neighborhood. I came here for brunch a few weeks ago and boy oh boy, it is hands down my new brunch place! The inside is rustic with a warm feel to it, like you're going to a bar you've been at your whole life. Everyone is extremely friendly and attentive who works there. I got the salmon with grits cake. The salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned; it melted in your mouth. The portion was also really generous, around 6 ounces. The grits cake was creamy with a flavorful crust and it heated up perfectly later since I took home half of my food as leftovers! The arugula salad had a light dressing that was perfectly seasoned. The egg was also perfectly cooked and they made it exactly how I requested, with a hard white and semi-hard yellow. YUM. My friend got the breakfast in bread. There was tons of cheese, caramelized vegetables, and huge chunks of sausage. I'm not sure where they source their bread from but it was chewy and flavorful. I posted a photo of this delicious dish and the salmon so go check them out to get your mouth watering! I haven't been here for dinner but their menu looks great and I'm very intrigued by their cocktails. I'm looking forward to going here again, definitely check them out for brunch! read more

My date and I wanted to try something different so we settled on Stone Turtle. We enjoyed the dimmed light and setting. We had the appetizer of chicken wings and it was delicious. The customer service was good but the entrees were ok. I would've preferred more seasoning or just having the wings as my meal. For blander taste buds (tongues), this is your place but for someone like me, who enjoys more seasoning, you might want to venture elsewhere. Four stars for the wings, drinks (alcohol) and customer service! read more

Very filling, large portions, excellent service and lots of drink choices. Food was above average bar food when it comes to the menu options. We went for dinner - and the patrons at the bar got loud and rowdy; yet a step up from similar places in the area. read more

This review is long overdue. I had dinner here with a friend back in March. We made a dinner reservation for 6:30 p.m. and when we arrived they had our table waiting for us. The hostess was very friendly and as she seated us she was very welcoming. We were sat at a 2 top kind of in the middle of the dining room. Our location was not the best, but it worked. Our server came over with a bottle of water and filled our glasses while also making recommendations for drinks from the cocktail menu. We both agreed that the lavender spritzer sounded refreshing so we each ordered a glass. We looked over the menu and decided to order an appetizer to start; we both love cheese and so we opted for the fried burrata. When our server came back we placed our appetizer order and each ordered a main dish. My friend ordered the mushroom gnocchi and I ordered the roasted chicken; we agreed to share our meals. The appetizer came out, but we did not have plates on our table so we had to wait and ask a member of the waitstaff for 2 plates which were brought over quickly. The fried burrata was crispy on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside; the sauce was a nice compliment and the arugula was a nice way to add color to the dish. We both enjoyed this dish. Our server came to check on us a few times and made sure we had water when we asked for more. When our food came out both meals were plated well and looked good. I cut a piece of the roasted chicken and made sure to dip it in the jus and grits for a decent first bite. It was good, but not great. I liked the chicken and the grits, but not the jus, it tasted kind of salty and left my mouth dry. I guess I just don't like gravy type sauces. I also don't think I realized the chicken was on a bone so it made sharing a it more difficult. I still managed to cut some chicken off with the fork and knife to share with my friend. She also was able to pass over some of her mushroom gnocchi which was really really good! I should have ordered that dish and I will get that next time! Our server came to check on us as we were midway through our dinner and asked if we needed anything else. We were okay though so didn't ask for much other than our check. When our check came we each paid our half and were on our way. This is a nice restaurant and I think it will be a place I visit again soon so that I can try other menu items and sample another cocktail. read more

Wow this place is amazing. From ambience to service to the food!! Service - our waiter Maz could not be more pleasant. He was friendly, made just the right amount of conversation with us, informative and funny. He told us he works every Thursday, Friday for lunch and Sunday brunch. Ambience - very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Food - the fried burrata cheese for appetizer was great. Loved the combo of fried cheese with candied walnuts honey and balsamic. I honestly didn't even need the toast that it came on. My ribeye sandwich was very tasty, the goat cheese was a little heavy so it was a tad too tangy for me. But I still enjoyed every bite. My friend said her fish and chips was decent, she wished the crust of the fish was crispier, made with flour instead of cornmeal, but that's just personal preference. My other friend said her fontina grilled cheese was amazing and she ate every bite. All three of us finished EVERY SINGLE parm fry because the truffle aioli is EVERYTHING!!!! I don't care what you order please please please get a side of the Truffle Aioli!!! read more

Great food. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. Wish they were busier cause it was a really good experience.

The drink I ordered, a lavender spritz, was good. Mac and cheese, sans bacon, was pretty good. It is served cheese-ology style. What's the problem? To start, the server (who is, apparently, also owner) was more interested in selling than I prefer from a server. The rest I don't feel comfortable stating at this time. I will recommend paying with cash... read more
