Nordia B.

Review: Jan 2026 The experience was everything I expected and more! I went to Alicia Keys Broadway Play "Hell's Kitchen." She is my childhood/ adulthood favorite. Of course the event was on one of the coldest night we experience this past Winter in STL. For fashion, I decided to ditch my bulky coat in the truck and take the lighter instead. Fortunately, I arrived early and was able to find street parking close by and didn't have to endure the bitter cold too long Design: The architectural designs are breathe taken! It's something about "antique designs that I am always fascinated with. Food: My friend & I decided to have dinner at the restaurant next door (don't remember the name). I wanted to grab a drink at the Fox, however didn't want to miss out on any of the play standing in long lines. Service: Everyone hustled to get in after going through the metal detector or being scanned by security. There were staff members present to guide you to your seat. Overall Experience: I truly enjoyed myself. I definitely will be back!

What an amazing theater!! An absolute great place to see a show. Really easy to Uber and get dropped off. Lines go quickly - quick metal detector scan, ticket check, and you're in! Artwork and decor is stunning! This is where you'll find many of your concessions stands as well as merchandise. If you're on the orchestra level, head straight to the back. Otherwise, take the elevator or stairs to the balcony. The rows are set steep, so watch your footing! The Curtain Call restaurant is a nice place to grab a bite before or after. Concessions inside are a bit expensive, to be expected. Bathrooms are located on most levels.

A beautiful and classy theater. I have been to the Fox numerous times due to the fact that they have a wide variety of different shows and experiences throughout the year. The prices are also moderate when compared to seeing a large production and often times cheaper than seeing a musical act at another concert venue. This review includes a visit to the Fox Club section. For this show of Hell's Kitchen, my ticket came with a reserved parking spot next to the theater with its own entrance. It does require steps but the accessible entrance is close by jf needed. The table came with filtered water and the menu had signature performance drinks, wine, beer, spirits, and food (including desserts). We had a glass of wine, signature cocktail (on the strong side), chicken quesadilla, Mediterranean flatbread, brownie volcano, and cookies with milk. Our server was so delightful and took care of us from start to finish.

There is nothing like The Fox at Christmas time! We had a fabulous time in the beautiful theatre on the opening night of A Christmas Story - The Musical. The guest services staff were great the drinks were cold & the decor was magical. We love The Fox.

What a gorgeous theater! The moment I walked in, I was blown away by the incredible architecture and beautiful details. We sat in the balcony, which offered a great view, and the seats were comfortable. One thing that surprised me was that food purchased at the theater could be brought inside during the show, definitely a nice perk since many theaters don't allow that. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Like with most theaters, arriving early is a good idea. I'm already looking forward to seeing another show at The Fox.

See if you can find a review that doesn't have the words, fabulous, great, beautiful, amazing, or classy in it. It is all of these adjectives, add venerable, majestic, and elegant. It doesn't matter what you see here, it's such a special place, but it's the perfect place for a major musical.

The Fox Theatre is a St. Louis landmark gem that is worth visiting just to see the inside of the theatre itself. Yes, it is that gorgeous inside. We signed up to be season ticket holders this year (I highly recommend this if you enjoy a variety of theatre). Our tickets are not in the most expensive section but we still have a great view of the stage. The excellent acoustics ensure that you will hear everything and be part of the stories regardless of where you sit. The ushers are very helpful guiding you to your seat. There is a side entrance for people to use if they have assistive devices (ex: walker). You can dress up with you want or just wear nice casual clothes if you don't feel like getting glitzy. The first show of the 2025 ticketholder season was "Life of Pi" which I didn't know much about prior to seeing it. The special effects and puppets really brought the story to life.

It's been ages since I have been to the Fox, but it's just as majestic as last time. We saw Harry Potter and the cursed Child. The actors and actresses were fantastic and the screenplay, affects, song, in the whole production were very well done. The ushers were incredibly helpful in finding our seats in such a biggest establishment. The building is very clean on the inside and you can tell a lot of care goes into ensuring that it continues to be a smooth running operation. There were drinks served prior to the show, which was really nice as well. I just got a glass of wine and it was a great addition to an incredible play.

It is such a treat to have this beautiful venue for all kinds of events! We came to see Nikki Glaser, hometown comic to end her Alive and Unwell Tour. We sat in the balcony with a great view of the stage and also of the ornate ceiling! I love this space for any event. The only downside is waiting in line for the bar, it is not a quick process. We had parking right near the venue and were able to exit quickly and easily, get to our car, and on our way.

It is indeed fabulous. I've been coming here for years and still find new details at to marvel at every time. There's not a bad seat in the house, and for the theatre's scale it still feels like an intimate show wherever you're sat. The ushers always go above and beyond to show you to your seat and ensure a tight ship is being run. Don't wait for the perfect show to grace yourself with this gem; the historic beauty of the building is enough to make the trip.

Ive been to The Fabulous Fox many times to see some great musicals. This visit was a 90 minute tour. John was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job. We got to see the private movie viewing room downstairs, Peacock Alley and the theatre itself. We could go backstage because there was a production that day. So, if you are planning a tour, you may want to check the calendar so you can go back stage where many of the celebrity autographed walls are at. And stand on the stage which is overwhelming! At $10 this is a great tour. Coming back again to get the backastage tour

OMG Absolutely gorgeous venue!!! I finally went to my first broadway musical and I loved every second of it. The concessions have a good amount of items and mix to choose from. They do a speciality cocktail for certain shows which I love. All the service we had was great. I can't wait for my next show.

Krystal R.

Love the vibe and the show! The cast was great for the notebook! Will come back again!

We had such a fun night recently at the Broadway Oyster bar…read more From sitting outside enjoying a perfect fall evening while listening to live music to the amazing food, it was a great night! Although all the food was excellent, I thought the red beans and rice and bread pudding were the standouts!

A Rocky First Impression, but an Outstanding Dining Experience!…read more Tucked away in St. Louis' downtown corridor, this oyster bar is easy to overlook, but thankfully, the Yelp ratings and reviews did not lead us astray! Let me start with the menu. The hardest part was deciding what to order! The selection was impressive, and judging by our experience, there were no wrong choices. Our party of four started with gator tails and voodoo shrimp, accompanied by a fresh slaw. Both appetizers were excellent and set the stage for what turned out to be a fantastic meal. Our entrées included the Cajun sampler, grilled oysters, shrimp and grits, and the catfish platter. Every dish was met with enthusiasm, and everyone left thoroughly satisfied. Without cocktails, our two appetizers and four entrées, including a generous tip, came to approximately $200. Worth every penny! A special acknowledgment goes to our server, Jordan, who was bright, attentive, efficient, and especially helpful when it came time to navigate all those tempting menu choices. The kitchen clearly knows what it is doing, and the quality of the food and service made this a memorable dining experience. Now, about that first impression... Unfortunately, our arrival was the one disappointing part of the evening. The young lady greeting guests at the door wore a mask, but it did little to conceal what appeared to be a sneer at the inconvenience of greeting and seating us. With only two other tables occupied during our early supper, we were escorted to a dimly lit corner of the restaurant, seemingly without consideration for the dining experience we might have preferred. We were four middle-aged professionals coming off a workday, looking forward to good food, conversation, and an opportunity to unwind. Thankfully, another member of the waitstaff immediately recognized the less-than-ideal seating arrangement and graciously offered us a table in a brighter, more inviting area. That was our second first impression, and everything improved from there! From the attentive service to the exceptional food, the chef and waitstaff delivered an experience that more than made up for our initial disappointment. My only suggestion to management is to remember that hospitality begins at the door. The greeting sets the tone, and the welcome should reflect the same care and attention that clearly goes into the food and table service. Despite the rocky start, we left impressed, satisfied, and glad we trusted the reviews. This is absolutely a place worth discovering in downtown St. Louis!

We enjoyed our time at The Pageant during a quick trip to Saint Louis! It seems like there are…read moreplenty of free parking options nearby, and we were able to snag a spot in one of the lots behind the venue pretty easily. The line to get in moved quickly, and then we were actually able to hop right into the merch line to stock up before the openers went on. The venue itself is laid out kind of like a club, with a big open floor area and then lots of small tables for seating surrounding the floor. There's even a second story balcony, though we didn't make it up there on this visit. We headed straight for the pit, and were able to get right in on the action! Bar prices are pretty standard for a concert venue, though I am happy to report that there were lots of drink options and the bar lines moved fairly fast. The concert itself was great too - the sound and lighting were spot on, and the bands themselves were awesome to watch. I'd definitely see a show here again!

I've never been to a bad show here. It also helps that there are other things to do and eat in the area. You want a date night rock show? This area is perfect for that. I'm prompted to this review because this last show was the first time I've sit up top. Results may vary from venue to venue when it comes to sitting up top. I'm not sure but in the future, I might opt to sit up top for every show. Sometimes you run the risk of the sound bouncing off back walls and ceilings which can make things miserable if you're catching the sound from multiple directions. I'm happy to report the sound is contained in this venue. To begin, all 4 of these bands have perfected their live sound. That definitely helps in small and large venues alike. If any of your favorites roll through here, you owe it to yourself to attend. The only peeve I had this time was the merch. It's a bit odd how this venue handles merch. There were multiple locations for the merch inside the venue. Dayseeker merch was in the big room up front but my question... why not put all the acts in one room? they were spread out which also led to mass confusion with multiple long lines snaking and intersecting with each other. Aside from that, A+ venue. Will continue visiting in the future.

The staff... wow.. another story.. Outside bar had an AMAZING waitress, Jess, that truely made our nights and was so awesome and fun. Jess deserves a raise and if you go to Venice cafe avoid literally any bar tender except for Jess. The old lady bar tender on inside bar took two extra dollars from me (I guess thinking I wasn't gonna tip? ) despite me leaving three on the bar and me pointing it out to her. Then a very very large brown haired curly bearded man completely ignored me at the bar, at like 4pm it was me standing directly in front of the bar by myself while he had co convos and gave bar backs shots. I couldn't have made this up.. I couldn't think of anything to even say to address that wasnt not kind or out of pocket so I left. It was an unreal experience and from what I've heard about management just from patrons there they wouldn't care anyway, it was alienating and gross behavior. Venice cafe had a good reputation and it was on my list forever, but I've already shared with more of my groups that we can go somewhere else and be treated much better. I'd second guess this option unless Jess is working outside in the bar.
