    I spent my one solo night in St. Louis checking out the spots my work team didn't want to venture away from the burbs for. And I'm so glad I did. Yellowbelly is an absolute gem. Friendly bartenders, unique cocktails, tasty bites, and a fantastic ambiance. This would be a repeat spot for me if I lived in STL.

    I can't say enough good things about Yellowbelly! We have been eating here since they have opened and are never disappointed! Their service is on point and we love the coastal Hawaiian vibes of the restaurant. Every item from the fries/potatoes to their steaks to their desserts never miss! 10/10 I always recommend Yellowbelly!!

    I've been to Lazy Tiger a lot but haven't explored Yellowbelly a lot. Came here late on a Saturday and were able to snag a reservation online. They have an amazing food and drink menu. It's the same as Lazy Tiger for food and unique drinks. I recommend the street corn taquitos and the coconut tiramisu!! I got the kiwi mojito (it has a cute name I just don't remember) and it was SO GOOD! Today we tried the beef fat fries and the ceviche, both were amazing, and got the tiramisu to split. We all enjoyed it all. Our waitress was amazing! She was super helpful with answering our questions and recommending great things! She was very knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be coming back! Parking isn't always super easy in central west end but it's worth it to come here.

    We had a 5:30 reservation and were seated immediately and got to enjoy the last bit of happy hour. We ordered several small plates and were not disappointed! Our favorites were the crab fritters, small poke bowl, and kimchi raw oysters, which were all reasonably priced. The restaurant itself was giving tropical but cozy vibes and tables ranged from family dinners to dates to girls night. Overall, one of my favorite spots in STL so far!

    Came for happy hour on a Thursday, and got a seat at the bar. Had a delightful tropical old fashioned, a very generous portion of crispy beef fat fries with a kick, and a perfect-sized "mini" BBQ chicken slider (I can usually only eat half a burger anyways). Service was attentive and the vibe was quirky and uplifting. I'd come back!

    Super flavorful food! Umami AF. Very chill vibe. Love all the greenery! highly recommend this place for girls night or a date night for adventurous eaters. One coworker had the pork chop entree, it was so tender!!! My other coworker had the salmon green curry and it was probably all of our favorite! Delicious!!

    Amazing cocktail

    Oh my goodness! If my palate could throw a party and invite a restaurant, it would definitely be Yellowbelly! We tried so many different dishes and drinks, and each one took us on its own flavorful journey. From the crispy, sweet, and juicy coconut shrimp to the perfectly seasoned oyster bites every bite was a hit! And that piña colada... wow! So creamy, smooth, and refreshing it instantly made me want to grab a beach chair and order three more. The customer service was absolutely top tier, too! I can't wait to go back. Whether you're planning a date night or just a fun night out, Yellowbelly is the place to be!

    Went to yellow belly for dinner on a Wednesday! Make a reservation no matter what day you go; they get super busy. We went to check out their happy hour menu. For my girl dinner, I ordered the painkiller, and the frozen pornstar martini, and their French fries. Let me just say their French fries are TO DIE FOR. Also a super good portion for $5. My boyfriend got the chicken burger, coconut tiramisu, and a dessert. All of which he said was super good. We made our reservation for 5 right when they open and I will say until they're busy all the waiters just stand near the bar, and there's a large amount of them. This took away from the ambiance for me personally. Since there was literally 6+ people doing nothing but standing near my table for at least 20 minutes. This unfortunately brings my review down to 3 stars. Other than that it would've been a perfect five.

    Had 6 of us took us without reservations. Food was great not a huge menu but plenty of really interesting American Asian fusion. Drinks were good also. The place is well lit nice decorations can be a bit load. Highly recommend the food. Our waiter was very attentive

    I've been to Yellow Belly for Brunch but this was my first dinner there and I left so impressed. The atmosphere was perfect for a girls night and the staff was super welcoming and offered lots of recommendations when asked. I ordered the Frio Fresco that Knesha our sever recommended and absolutely loved it. We shared the shrimp ceviche and beef fat fries between three ladies and it was perfect. The Coconut Tiramisu for dessert is a must! I will be dreaming about that Tiramisu for 10-12 business days. Everything was delicious! I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order at Yellow Belly.

    Couldn't recommend this place enough, A favorite option for brunch! Three different mimosa options and full portions of food with unique menu options. The staff is always kind and helpful. The breakfast burrito is awesome too :)

    Yellowbelly & Everybody Loves The Sunshine

    Yum! Yum! Yum! So, I've tried the sister restaurant Lazy Tiger but did not know that they shared a kitchen so the menu is the same, only the cocktails are different and the ambience is more bright and airy. Loved the chairs! So cute and surprisingly comfortable. Okay, the food/drink. That's what we're here for. Right!?! Mind blown and taste buds were so happy!! Here's what we had an my thoughts: Drinks: Yellowbelly (me) & Everybody Loves The Sunshine (hubs). Both were delicious and give off tropical vibes. A+ for the presentation. Food: House Made Kimchi (chef's selection for the day was a Persian kimchi made with cucumbers). Fabulous! A fun take on kimchi with heat and the cooling cucumbers. Grilled Salmon Skewers - Man! This is how salmon should be. Deliciously glazed and perfectly grilled. The papaya salad was equally as impressive. It had a great crunch and perfect amount of heat. Brussels Sprouts - To die for!! I could eat this every day. So we did try this at Lazy Tiger and liked it but I don't remember it being THIS good. Must try!! Vegetable Fried Rice w/ Pork Belly added. Wow! A generous portion of fried rice paired with petite diced pineapple, chili crisp and topped with pork belly. The pork belly here is the absolute best. Melts in your mouth and oh so delicious. A little sorry we didn't get the pork belly small plate too...you're going to crave more! Warm Mini Lobster Roll - I was excited for this but was so disappointed. There was no flavor. I was hoping for a butter drizzle or kick of spice but no. Very underwhelming, especially for the price. Too boring for this place and not a good representation of what Yellowbelly has to offer. We had an amazing server, Angelique who took the time to explain the drink and food options and make suggestions She was very welcoming and knowledgeable! Thank you, Angelique!! 5 Stars...Must Visit!!

    We missed our reservation at another restaurant at the last minute and made this reservation an hour before. The food, service and ambiance were incredible. The glass octopus cocktail was reallyyyyyy not my cup of tea. However, everything else I had was delicious and so worth it!

    Yes they do - matter of fact, I ate dinner at the bar last time I was there.

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables.

    Hidden Gems in St. Louis -- and darling, the name is not exaggerating…read more I had the absolute pleasure of attending a birthday celebration here and let me tell you... this place is a vibe, a moment, and a whole sparkling experience. The space is intimate, stylish, and perfectly appointed -- the kind of place that feels like you've stumbled into a secret little jewel box in the city. It's cozy in the best possible way, with an atmosphere that invites laughter, celebration, and maybe just a little fabulous mischief. The bartenders? Absolute pros. Warm, welcoming, and clearly masters of their craft. Naturally, I ordered my classic gin and tonic, and it was perfection in a glass -- crisp, balanced, and exactly what a proper G&T should be. I heard from the birthday boy and his wonderful wife that the owners were incredibly accommodating, and you could feel that hospitality throughout the entire evening. Everything felt effortless and welcoming -- the kind of place where people clearly care about creating a great night. And then... the party truly began. We had drag queens serving glamour and joy, music, laughter echoing through the room, and pizza delivered from the birthday boy's favorite local pizza spot that honestly deserves its own standing ovation. If you want to know where that pizza came from, drop a comment -- because it was outrageously good. By the end of the night I couldn't stop thinking: this place really is a Hidden Gem. A perfect little pocket of St. Louis where good drinks, great people, and a bit of fabulous chaos come together. Sparkle-tastic. Gem-tastic. Pure joy.

The upstairs lounge is perfect if you want to hang out with friends or just take a break and rest your feet for a bit. I absolutely love that space and how comfy it is. One of the biggest perks of Hidden Gems is their back room, which allows them to host events and fun pop-up experiences. I've been to a few, and most recently attended the "Taylor Swift: Bejeweled" experience. The space was decked out in all things Taylor, with every era clearly represented. Giant friendship bracelets hung from the ceilings and lined the walls, which was such a fun touch. And of course, there were plenty of photo ops with my close personal bff, Taylor herself! The drink menu was themed to match the eras, with tons of creative options. My friends and I tried several cocktails, along with a few NA options as well. I really appreciate that they offer non-alcoholic drinks as I've been cutting back on alcohol over the past few months, and it's nice to still have fun choices that actually taste good! The Mirrorball was easily my favorite drink of the night. It tasted just like an orange creamsicle and was served in a disco ball...so good and so fun. My last drink of the night was "So Long London," which was almost like a dessert in a glass. Highly recommend ending your night with that one!
