Being an avid sounders fan and being an enemy territory I was a little nervous, but they were super nice and very friendly. I had a flight of beer and I had a couple samples of other things and buying a $40 T-shirt. That was my only grip was the price of the T-shirt was too expensive. But the service was above and beyond what I expected, and I was very highly happy that I went. I ended up even calling them back later to let them know that St. Louis won, and to congratulate them, which I thought was pretty funny.5 stars all day long!

The bartenders pour like they're trying to help you forget your ex, (and it worked for me-true story) the music somehow makes you think you can dance, and the crowd feels like a family reunion where nobody's related but everyone's having a great time!

The bartenders were helpful and I appreciated how they had a specific spot to stand if you wanted to place an order. Genius! They had live music when we got there and it was quite loud so it was hard to talk to people at our table, but we managed. They had some bar games that some people were playing and the atmosphere was just right for a chill Friday night. Some of my friends were hungry so they ordered a pizza which looked good. It was typical bar food so they said it was just okay, but since they were hungry, it was enjoyed! They have some seating outside, but it was too cold to be out there. But I can see this being a fun spot in warmer weather! Bathrooms were clean which was impressive for a Friday night.

While in St Louis I was told I had to try the baked/fried ravioli and Claude mentioned Mama's on…read moreThe Hill as the place that invented this quirky product. Mama's is in the Little Italy area of St Louis and the neighborhood is very charming and well laid out but not ostentatiously. There is ample sidewalk seating and inside seating. Luckily Mama's has a small bar inside with seats as this place was busy on Sunday night. I took a seat at the bar and ate there. I had great service from the two friendly bartenders during my visit. I had the famous ravioli along with a glass of Chianti which always goes well with red sauces. For the ravioli I had the half meat and half cheese selection. The order was served piping hot and with a generous bowl of tasty marinara sauce for dipping. After using a fork for the first one, I switched back to using my hands for the remainder of the order. These ravioli were tasty and well made with a light coating and dusted with parsley but I didn't get the hype. Maybe it's just a St Louis thing? I really think if I return here one day, I'll also try the other Italian dishes offered as they looked awesome as the went by my seat (I was next to the kitchen). I really loved the marinara sauce that was served with my ravioli and that is always a good sign of good food at an Italian restaurant. Mama's has a lot of charm and great staff and is super popular in this seemingly cohesive community. A great place to visit.

How thoughtful! Can't wait to get this again. 5) Spumoni 8/10 - Tasted great, just served in such a small dish, it made it difficult to eat at first and was melting over the sides of the bowl right at the start. Couldn't dig the spoon in easily for fear of it pushing right out of the bowl. 6) Lemoncello Cake - Perfect for someone like me who loves lemon cake. Not overly sweet - just right. Serving size was perfect for an individual. 7) Chocolate Cake - Perfect serving size for one, my friend had this, so I'll definitely try it next time. This was our first visit.

There's plenty of indoor seating and lots of TVs, so perfect for catching a game. You can also reserve a small section if you're looking for a place to host an event. The patio had lots of kids running around on a Saturday afternoon, so bring the whole family.

There is a free parking lot and a huge patio that, unfortunately I think, faces the highway. There are a few businesses around it but it feels rather industrial. The location is convenient to Forest Park, the Medical Center and South City via Kingshighway or Hampton. Plenty of seating both inside and on the patio. It was extremely hot outside so we were seated inside, in the "Garden Room." This room has lots of windows (no garden) and got extremely hot during the stay. I guess the AC couldn't keep up with us. This is a brewery so they have lots of beer options. I can't speak to the quality of the beer. Since I have Celiac Disease, I checked ahead of time and made sure that I saw lots of wine on their drink menu as well. Since it was 4PM when I arrived, I asked about any happy hour specials. Sadly, they told me there were only beer happy hour specials, no wine specials. I ordered a glass of white wine from their menu and got what I thought was a small pour of an only so-so glass for the price. I did like that you order your drinks in a separate line, and you can pay as you go like I did or start a tab. This is great for a large group like ours. You can also order food and have it delivered to your table. While this is a large venue in a convenient location, it did not feel very special.

We were looking for a lunch bite to eat for a hungry carnivore adult, a gluten intolerant adult and…read morea vegetarian adult. After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch. But for the other 2 in our group, we walked out super satisfied.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up

This was our first time visiting the restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the decor and layout. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and was a great place for our family to relax after spending the morning at the zoo. Our server, Paige, did a fantastic job taking care of our table of nine. She was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked back with us to make sure everything was good. The food was very good, and everyone at the table was happy with the quality and taste. We ordered a couple of Bishop Burgers, a Chicken sandwich, a Classic burger, Roast Beef sandwiches, and several sides, including the Insalata Italiana, Brussels sprouts, roasted potatoes, and white pasta. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we also ordered a few drinks. The food prices were in line with what I'd expect from other restaurants in the area. The drinks were a little on the higher side, but they were very good. Overall, everything turned out great. We all enjoyed the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. It was a great way to finish our family day at the zoo and celebrate my daughter's 32nd birthday. We'll definitely consider coming back again.
