Mezcal Clarified Milk Punch  My husband and I both LOVE this cocktail
Melanie B.

I'll never stop talking about Timothy's! We recommend it to people all the time! I honestly have no idea how many times we've been there. It's fine dining but without being stuffy like some places are. The fact that a lot of the staff has been there since we started going there a few years ago says a lot. We all know there are so many staffing changes at restaurants. My husband and I went there last night. The service was, once again, top notch. And the food was so good - as were the cocktails! They have some staples on their food and drink menus, but they change some things up seasonally. Our cocktails and my entree were both from their new fall menu. My husband got a seafood dish that was a special. They also serve lunch, have a nice happy hour, and a great Sunday brunch. If you haven't been - what are you waiting for?! You won't be disappointed!

Pimento tots & happy hour cocktail of the day (Rusty Nail)
Amanda M.

I've been wanting to check out this place for a while and finally made it out to their happy hour on Monday night. I went with the cocktail of the day which was tasty and boozy at $6 along with the pimento cheese tots ($5) and sprouts ($10). The tots were good and it was a generous portion for 5 bucks but maybe a little over-fried. The sprouts were amazing! Thr sprouts are served over whipped blue cheese. I'm typically not a blue cheese fan, but the flavors really complemented each other and I would definitely order this again in the future. The inside is dimly lit with an upscale but accessible feel. Our server was super attentibe. Perfect spot to stop for something to eat before heading to the movies across the street!

Happy hour at Timothy's? Immediate yes. The vibe is polished-but-relaxed, service is dialed in, and the HH menu actually feels curated--not just an afterthought. What we loved: * House hummus - silky and super flavorful with a little chili-crisp vibe, plus warm flatbread and crunchy veggies. Generous and shareable. * Pimento cheese deviled eggs - tangy, a little heat, and totally craveable with that drizzle on top. * Timothy's burger - juicy, melty, and delightfully messy in the best way. Exactly what a happy-hour burger should be. Drinks were solid, pacing was spot-on, and it's the kind of bar where you can actually have a conversation without yelling. Value is strong and everything came out hot and well seasoned. Tip: Get there on the earlier side--seats go fast. (Check their site for current happy hour times/menu.)

This was the place I was most looking forward to during my trip to visit my friend and unfortunately it turned out a bit disappointing. The service was spectacular and we have no complaints there, but the napkins and tablecloths smelled extremely stale which made it hard to get comfortable. I even asked for a new one at one point and it smelled the same and I'm not sure if it's just an issue with the laundry service they use. We ordered a bunch of different items: French onion soup Lobster pot pie Deviled eggs Cauliflower Pork chop Beef roast Steak and fries Bananas foster Complimentary birthday pineapple upside down cake The French onion soup was fairly strange in that the cheese was melted over the slice of bread and you can just remove it from the soup. It was okay - the broth was good and the onions were jammy. Needs more melty cheese. The lobster pot pie needed pieces of chunky lobster. It kinda just tasted like soup with filo dough. The deviled eggs were fine. The cauliflower was pretty good but there was a lot of it (not necessarily a bad thing) - but the blue cheese was fairly heavy. For the entire, the meats were cooked well and the portions were big. I think the sauces needed a bit more flavor to go with it. The bananas foster was purely for fun - it was kind of whatever as a dessert but the presentation is cool. However the biggest surprise of the night was the complimentary dessert for my birthday - which was a small pineapple upside down cake. That cake was incredible. Overall - it was fine - but food was just slightly lacking luster. And they need a new laundry service. Staff was great though.

Pepper crushed steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes
Timira M.

I've always wanted to try this place and last night I got the chance to finally go. Upon arriving I was immediately greeted by several staff at the front door. My party was already there and seated. One thing I did enjoy was the small intimate setting this place gives. Our waiter had exceptional customer service in discussing the menu items and we both settled on a pepper crusted steak, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. We both asked for the steaks to be cooked medium well but they and they were cooked perfectly. The food was seasoned well and I enjoyed the meal. Several people who weren't even our waiter came by and asked several times if we needed anything and again I appreciate that level of service. If you're looking to try something new with a small intimate type of setting give this place a try. As always until next time...

This is definitely the best dirty martini in town. I have tried martini in multiple restaurants even choosing high end vodka but nothing compares to this smooth cocktail. The sweet potato curry soup was a fantastic starter. We absolutely loved the bananas foster dessert. The star was lost for the entree. Truth be told I would line to give 3.5 stars. I got the signature tenderloin. I was very disappointed. It was served cold. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were powdered. The brussel sprouts were mushy and overcooked. My fiancée got the steak top pasta and felt under impressed. The waiters was personable and attentive. The atmosphere was fabulous. I appreciate a peaceful and clean environment. I love being able to have a conversation without shouting. I'd definitely return for dessert and drinks but most likely would not recommend for a meal. Disappointed because I love the location but the price point requires high quality and we just weren't even close.

Sorbet
Andrea R.

The deviled eggs were well prepared though didn't have anything significant about the taste, still good qualify ingredients. The salmon was amazing! This is the item that will bring me back, the rice/corn complimented it well without overpowering the salmon. A great new find that I'm excited to try again soon!

crab & sausage gumbo - a 10/10!
Annette R.

We've been meaning to try Timothy's for a long time but they never seemed to have availability. Finally, we decided to try on a Sunday around noon and we immediately got in. I tried my husband's crab and sausage gumbo (with white rice on top). Absolutely delicious, and he said it is some of the best gumbo he's ever had. I ordered their chicken Caesar salad and will definitely order it again! The homemade dressing is divine and the chicken was grilled perfectly (too many restaurants don't get it right). The croutons were disappointing (slightly sweet and oddly soft as if they're trying to be something else like cookies). The split hard-boiled egg is good but not necessary. The inside of the restaurant is cozy with an upscale feel.

Pastrami Lamb Chops
Scott B.

Fantastic surprise! Given two life-long S. Louisans hadn't heard of this place, we weren't sure what we were going to get. What a great neighborhood find! You'll enjoy your meal, and those who imbibe will have ample chance to whet the whistle (e.g., the first 9 pages and last 5 pages of the menu are all drinks... telling me they must make some money with that). Our meals were all delightful. Our large group enjoyed 5-6 different appetizers, and all of them were a hit (I'm looking at you Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs). The menu is full of creative main course offerings, and at least four of us ordered the Pastrami Lamb Chops. The smoking and seasoning transformed what any of us know from typical chops. If dining with a partner, splitting this plate with a more traditional main will give you just what you crave in adventure culinary pursuits. Lastly, thank goodness I was with a group because if I was eating alone when the Croissant Bread Pudding dessert showed up, I'd likely have embarrassed myself something fierce.

Kaitie F.

I really enjoyed my lunch at Timothy's. The lunch menu is relatively small, but had some great sounding options. I ordered the steak sandwich and fries. The quality of steak was top notch and balance of flavors on the sandwich was spot on. The fries were good, but I ended up requesting garlic aioli to kick them up a notch. While I liked Timothy's, I would say $25 for a sandwich at lunch is steeper than prices you'd pay elsewhere in the area. It was worth the visit and I wouldn't mind returning to try their dinner.

Brussel sprouts
Henry B.

Came in on a Sunday evening with a reservation as a group of 4, seated immediately, maybe 5 other groups in the restaurant Dress code: smart-business casual, wouldn't be out of place a little more formal Food 4/5: ordered the lobster pot pie and brussel sprouts for apps, pork chops, oxtail ragu, lamb chops and steak frites. Not really a fan of the brussel sprouts, flavor a bit too harsh for me but everything else was very good. Pork chops slightly dry. Would highly recommend steak frites, lamb chops and lobster pot pie Ambiance 4/5: entrance and bar area seemed fairly casual but dining room more elegant. Fairly average fine dining ambiance Service 5/5: very attentive and great at recommendations and explanations. Multiple other tables got the banana foster with table side flambé. We were too full to get it but seemed quite popular Value 4/5: good food for a fair price, bumped up for the excellent service. Overall 4.3/5: overall a good experience highlight being certain dishes and excellent service. Parking: massive parking lot

Spinach salad with dressing on the side
Marie S.

Timothy's menu has a range of entrees paired with interesting sides. The evening's special was venison. My husband ordered the venison and said the meat was tender and flavorful. A good choice. It was nice to have a venison entree to try. In my experience, not many restaurants serve venison in St. Louis. My pork chop was thick and cooked just right. It was a tender, a good sized portion and was served over some tasty sides. We also had outstanding service. Our waiter, Adrian was attentive and made our dining experience great. We did not order bananas foster for dessert, but we watched him prepare it for another table, and it sure looked good.

Salmon
Jami R.

First I have to say Amanda our server was killin it! She had the whole front room to take care of and she did not miss a beat. You could tell she was stressed but still wow! The "Resort Weather" cocktail was amazing. The perfect blend of smoky sweetness. Now for the food! The pimento cheese tots everyone talks about were honestly "just okay" to us. But our entrees were delicious! My husband was very impressed with how well his steak was seasoned, along with the flavor of the accompanying sides with the Steak Frites. My salmon was also cooked perfectly and was seasoned nicely. A little disappointed with the potatoes(they seemed possibly from frozen?)but the mushrooms and green beans were really good and made up for potatoes. Cornbread cake was interesting. A little dry because,of course, it is cornbread but the flavorful sauce helped moisten it and made this dessert work. Overall, would not order again.

My friends and I ordered the potstickers, arancini, and elevated fries along with some drinks. The arancini are my absolute favorite and it's the perfect amount to share (or hoard!). The fries were good but a tad dry and should come with some of their delicious aioli on the side. Luckily our server was kind enough to bring us out some when we asked. The potstickers were solid and I really enjoyed both the Side Car & Espresso Martini and would order them again. My only complaint, and why I knocked a star, is that I was overcharged - and this is not the first time it's happened here.

I booked a 6:15 PM reservation through OpenTable, something I highly recommend because this place fills up quickly, especially on weekends. We arrived a few minutes early at 6:08 PM, and our server, Maddie, greeted us right at the front with a warm smile and seated us immediately. Her friendliness set the tone for the entire evening. The moment we stepped inside, the ambiance struck us. Napoli 3 has such a romantic, intimate atmosphere, dim lighting, elegant décor, and a cozy layout that makes it perfect for anniversaries, date nights, or any celebration where you want the night to feel special. It truly felt like the ideal setting for marking 18 years together. To our surprise and delight, the staff brought out complimentary sparkling white wine to toast our anniversary. It was a thoughtful touch that made us feel celebrated. They also served their hot bread, which was decent, warm and soft, but not quite as memorable as the bread service at some other restaurants. Still, it was a nice start. For drinks, I ordered a Sauvignon Cabernet to pair with my 16 oz ribeye steak, while my wife chose the Chicken Piccata. We also decided to share the Fried Calamari as our appetizer. The calamari arrived piping hot, clearly fresh out of the pan, and perfectly crispy. The marinara sauce was rich and flavorful, and the spicy aioli added a great kick. It was one of the better calamari plates we've had in a while. Then came the entrées, and this is where the night went from great to unforgettable. My ribeye steak might just be my new favorite in St. Louis. Cooked to a perfect medium, it was juicy, tender, and seasoned beautifully. I've always considered Annie Gunn's the gold standard for steak in the area, but honestly, Napoli 3 may have surpassed it for me. The peppercorn sauce I ordered on the side was outstanding, creamy, peppery, and the perfect complement to the steak. My wife's Chicken Piccata was equally impressive. The sauce was bright, buttery, and full of flavor, with just the right balance of lemon and capers. The sides, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and truffle fries, were all excellent and paired wonderfully with both dishes. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well-executed. From start to finish, the entire evening felt special. The service, the atmosphere, the food, and the little anniversary touches all came together to create a perfect night for us. After 18 years of marriage, it's moments like these that feel extra meaningful, and Napoli 3 delivered in every way. I couldn't be happier with our experience, and we'll absolutely be returning.

First time here, only because I was moving my daughter to Clayton. I made reservations for three of us at 11:00. Ample parking and the interior looked fantastic, but that's where it all ended. We were sat promptly and shortly after a young server came along and asked to take our drink order. My daughter asks for an iced latte and was told that no iced coffee was sold there. I asked for coffee and my daughters boyfriend just asked for water. My daughter then asked for the salted caramel cold brew and was asked for her ID. She promptly explained to the server that there was no alcohol in the coffee beverage. First off; what kind of restaurant that serves breakfast doesn't serve an iced coffee beverage when they clearly sell coffee. Shouldn't take a Michelin rated chef to figure that out. We ordered the "candied bacon" which came served draped over a drinking glass, limp as could be and the cinnamon rolls. The rolls were undercooked and just doughy. The manager came by as he saw that I put them at the end of our table. I explained that they were not cooked. He started to be somewhat apologetic but then got ignorant and adjusted his tone stating "and a Happy Easter to you sir". The server came back and filled only one water glass when all three were empty. My coffee was empty and I asked for more and 15 minutes later a different server brought over a pot to fill my cup but could only pour an inch before the carafe too was empty. The meals came; Baked French toast, Hot honey chicken biscuit and Sausage egg and cheese smothered biscuit. The french toast, in every part of the world that I've been to is served with syrup, but then again French toast is a battered and fried, not "pound cake" warmed and covered in berries. I asked for syrup and was told that they don't serve syrup, but that they had honey. Who puts honey on what is supposed to be French toast. The bacon on the hot honey chicken was so salty that it was more like sand paper than bacon, however at least it wasn't limp like the candied bacon. The smothered sausage biscuit was mediocre at best. The potatoes were good, cut too large but at least seasoned and cooked properly. None of the meals were hot, warm but nothing else. Still no coffee at this point. We were done at this point and I asked for the check. When the check arrived so did new cinnamon rolls, I assume, because they were presented in a "to go" container in a black plastic bag. I told the manager that I didn't want them and only wanted to pay the check and leave. This is when he said that he was not charging me. We got up and left. This could have been a one off, but for everything to be so bad I just can't chalk it up to coincidence. I should know better than to have chosen a franchise for Easter Brunch. I'll know better next time.

Truffles has been around for a while and has been on my list, but I never made it in until just…read morerecently for a birthday dinner with friends. I loved that the location had a good parking lot and was easy to get to. The decor and ambiance are designed to give you a feeling of luxury. We had a party of 6 and the round table we were placed at was the perfect size for conversation but still had room for all of our food and plated. Waitress was very helpful and attentive. The wine and bourbon list was massive and I recommend that you do your research in advance. It is way too big to really explore at the table. Bourbons were kind of high priced but, "fine dining" so expected. House salad is really good and fresh with nice light, balanced ingredients. We tried the korean cauliflower and bread service for apps. The cauliflower was ok but I wouldn't order again. It was a little disappointing that they charge for bread service. A single order comes with 5 pieces of bread, connected but tearable, and each a pretty small finger-sized piece. The board they served it on had a well full of olive oil and that was a mess. It was hard to pass without spilling and hard to share the oil since you had to pass the whole big bread board with it. Definitely a form over function thing that caused some frustration. Most of my party got steaks and all were very happy. 2 of my party got their steaks tuscan style and although they really liked the flavors on the meat, they wished they had not gotten salads first since the tuscan style plate replaced the usual potato and veg side with an arugula salad (so double salads for those folks). One person got the pork chop and it was massive, seemed like he liked it. I got the tagliatelle ragu and it was a good portion, not obscene but I had leftovers. It kind of tasted like pot roast pasta in a decent way. I don't know if I would get it again but I was not disappointed. 2 in our party ordered dessert, creme brulee and chocolate torte. The chocolate torte was phenomenal and one person said they would have come just for that. Not a lot of non-alcohol after dinner drink options. I ordered drip coffee and it was better than most I have had after dinner at supposedly nice restaurants, although it wasn't amazing. Some at our table ordered port and the bottle was humungous - a very amusing presentation. We were celebrating 4 birthdays among our 6 diners and they brought us a very nice plate of warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookies cut into quarters to share. This was a PERFECT birthday acknowledgement. We didn't need a big dessert per person or one to share with 6 spoons. It was small, delicious, and a gracious gift. If I could do half stars I would give 4.5. There were some small misses that I would not expect from a restaurant of this caliber. It was a lovely dining experience and I would go back in a heartbeat. I really like when a restaurant lives up to its reputation and I think Truffles does.

Great spot for date night! We went for Valentine's Day and had such a delicious meal. The service…read morewas outstanding and the ambiance felt elevated and romantic - perfect for a special night out. We started with the Korean fried cauliflower and it was honestly some of the best I've ever had. The batter was light, fluffy, and crispy, and the gochujang sauce with the mayo was sweet and sticky in the best way. Since it's a butchery, we had to try the steaks. I ordered the 4oz filet Oscar style. The meat was tender and very well seasoned, the crab was fresh, and the homemade hollandaise really pulled it all together. My husband had the ribeye. It was a flavorful cut, a little fatty (as ribeye tends to be), but exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The steaks come with a twice-baked potato and vegetable (or you can swap for different vegetables). The potato was flavorful but fairly dense. We also did the bread service - it was good, but felt a bit pricey for the portion. We ended with the flourless chocolate torte, which was very rich and the perfect way to finish the meal - especially on Valentine's Day. Overall, the food was good and the menu is solid. The quality was there, but the portions, bread service and sides didn't fully meet expectations. That said, it was still a lovely experience and a great date-night spot.

I have been here before, but I haven't reviewed it. This place is fantastic!! Its located in…read moredowntown Clayton and has valet parking right in front of the restaurant. Its relatively small inside, but cozy. A nice touch - is they offer a free coat check, so you don't have to carry your bulky coats to the table. The service here is really outstanding- but I think a huge benefit is they cook seed oil free- meaning everything is cooked either in butter or olive oil. They source local ingredients- rotate lots of different seasonal specials and also have a chefs tasting menu. You can really tell they care about food quality here. Many of us did go with the Chefs Tasting menu which they are also very flexible about- meaning if a special isn't on the menu you can subsitute it, etc. You truly could put together your own tasting menu. They start the table with crackers and a blue cheese souffle. Then they also offer a plain bread with butter which is amazing! Such a nice touch! Then we got stone crab as an appetizer - which was a special and came with a mustard dipping sauce!! It was great- I just wished they cracked the stone crab a bit more as it was hard to get into. We got a variety of menu and special dishes- Tuna Tartare, Soup of the day- Mushroom, Mixed Green Salad, Spanish Octopus, Pasta special, Sea Bass special, Missouri Trout, and Porkbelly Special. We also had a Chai Creme Brulee for dessert. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. This is one of my favorite spots! I also love how they will bag your leftovers and leave them up front by the coat check so you grab it on the way out. They think of all the little details here. Overall experience 5/5.

This was the second stop of my "progressive birthday dinner" (three stops; one for apps, one for…read moreentree, one for dessert). After a whole lot of research, knowing I wanted scallops for a main, I chose The Crossing. Our meal started with a complimentary offering of their bleu cheese soufflé with crisps and bread service--both delicious. I enjoyed a glass of their current "by the glass" Chardonnay, and my boyfriend got a Yeungling (poured table-side). I got my scallops, as planned, which certainly did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly, fresh and delicious. The wilted romaine seemed odd at first but totally rounded out the potato mash at the base, with the absolute flavor-bomb of the shiitakes. Highly recommend this dish any day! My boyfriend opted for the NY Strip; we both agreed it was one of the best steaks we'd ever had; seasoned perfectly and cooked masterfully. There was a slight mishap whereby a food runner gave him a tasting portion of the strip (likely meant for another table); we first didn't realize and were very disappointed with the size. However, without a word from us, the chef came out and personally explained, apologized, and corrected--I didn't snap a photo of the full portion when it came out, but it was perfect and much more what we expected. That brings me to the service, which was spectacular. Several staff members gave us a personal touch and they all seemed to be genuinely happy to be there. The space is beautiful and intimate. It was moderately busy and still quiet. The atmosphere feels upscale, but not pretentious or unapproachable. This place was on my radar for a long time, and I sure wish I'd gone long ago. If you're thinking about it, just go!! I can't wait to come back and try the chefs tasting menu--thank you for a wonderful dinner!
