We arrived right at noon on a Saturday and it was a crisp and cool October day, so we wanted to sit…read moreoutside. Sadly, the hostess said there were no more tables and we sat inside. I immediately had buyers remorse and wanted to leave to find another patio. Luckily my husband was able to sway the hostess to suit us outside, on account of it being my birthday. We settled up with our initial server and moved to the patio. Both of our servers were very gracious. Outside we could see the river and the train roll by. We had fried cheese balls to start- 10/10. The cheddar cheese was piquant, the breading was herbed, and the ranch dressing served alongside was not the kind from the grocery store! My better half and myself split the large order of chicken wings with sauce on the side. The garlic Parmesan sauce reminded me of the stuff Papa John's gives you, with more viscosity. It was not my favorite. The sweet and spicy sauce was my husband's favorite, and I thought it was okay. The wings were fried crispy and still juicy in the middle. We also shared the Italian salad which was awesome: artichokes, red onions, provel, Parmesan, salami, and a red wine vinegar dressing. We devoured both. My daughter had the toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I've had in a while. Really great experience and I'll be back for sure!

We stopped by Marquarts Landing for lunch. The patio is roomy and tables are not close together. We…read moreordered a house salad for each of us and a pizza. Both dishes were delicious! Unfortunately we were waving flies away from our food. We finally anchored a napkin over the pizza and it worked fine.

She did a good job though. Came here for our anniversary, and when making the reservation they ask if it's a special occasion, so we told. They never said anything or did anything special, no big deal but why ask. The first course was delicious bread and butter. And something else I'm forgetting. The one slice of bread they give should have been a warning sign. Between the two of us we ordered everything on the menu. Minus the wine/cockrails, we don't drink. I order a phenomenal lemonade though. I said "holy shit" when I took my first sip. The food was very good but the portions were so small I didn't feel like I could really establish if I liked something or not. It was unique food which is fun but i couldn't tell you if i found something new because there wasn't enough to appreciate it. It was beautifully presented and much of it was really delicious. The desserts especially. By the end of the meal we were both still hungry. It's kind of a rule for me if you're going to go out to a fancy place and spend the money you Really should not leave hungry. I would give this place 1 star for that alone but it's in a small town and I just can't. The peanut butter cookies they talk up at the end honestly felt like kind of a joke they were so small. It was literally someone's thumbprint size. You get one. We both looked at each other and laughed. We had fun but be prepared to go home and make a second dinner. Or there's always Taco Bell.

Extra Wavy is a very vibey and fun spot to snag a meal with friends…read more You might not immediately think that Saint Louis and Lobster Roll would go in the same sentence but Extra Wavy does a fantastic job of bringing fresh seafood concepts to life in the midwest and I really enjoyed my meal here. First of all the cocktails are wonderful. I'm an old fashioned girlie and their version did not let me down. My friends got some different, more unique drinks though that were really inventive and the sip I had of one of them confirmed that they do taste as good as they look. The lobster roll doughnut I had was really fun, and I'd definitely try it again, though I think sharing it with a friend along with a big side order of their fries might be the winning move here. I don't live in STL so not sure when I'll be back but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot to others as it really is a little gem of a restaurant.

This place is absolutely beautiful ambiance. Welcome, fun, and very hip. I enjoyed my cocktail,…read morethough I didn't quite get all the flavors listed in the description, but it sure did look pretty. The crab pasta was quite creamy, filling, and good ol' hearty food. I will say, I don't know if the flavors entirely complimented one another. There was some lemon peel for citrus, some dried tomato which added some nice sweet and bitter, but altogether I didn't quite get it. Felt like a creamy mac and cheese. Still would come back for another visit and try something else!

He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions. Ended up with the Denial and Error made with Strawberry Infused Cambio Blanco Tequila, Black Sesame-Miso Syrup, Lime, and Chocolate Walnut Bitters. So different but so good as is always the case! I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in. Everyone was very gracious; we had one drink and were on our way. I normally have two but didn't want to overstay. I love this place!

The friendly staff greeted us at the door and escorted us upstairs to the superbly decorated space. There were creative themed drinks served by costumed bartenders. Afterwards we went downstairs to the regular bar and enjoyed more creative cocktails and delicious salads. This is a small, cozy place that I'd feel comfortable visiting alone. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and helpful with making drink choices. Highly recommend.
