Laid Back Grill
811 Spruce Street
St. Louis, MO 63102
United States
+1 314 552 5850
http://www.clarkstreetgrill.com/
The Clark Street Grill is a restaurant based around the schedules of working people. Daily, between the hours of 5-7 p.m., there is a unique time frame dubbed "unwind" where guests can relax with a "meltaway" mojito and an appetizer. Come for the laid back atmosphere and stay for the delicious meals.

Gerard's Restaurant


Where to go for seafood
1153 Colonnade Center
St. Louis, MO 63131
United States
+1 314 821 0458
http://www.saucemagazine.com/g...
Finding a wonderful restaurant in a strip mall is always a surprise. The decor at Gerard's is contemporary, but intimate and comfortable. Do not miss the Caesar salad. It is one of the best in town. For an appetizer, the crab cakes are delightful. Seafood is its specialty, with a broad selection of fish entrees always on the menu. Try the charbroiled Opaka Snapper with white wine sauce. If you are not a fish lover, the beef tenderloin medallions in a Madeira sauce were superb. The wine list has received kudos from Wine Spectator magazine.

Jimmy's Cafe on the Park


Cutting edge cuisine
706 DeMun Ave
St. Louis, MO 63105
United States
+1 314 725 8585
http://www.jimmyscafe.com/
Located just east of the busy Clayton business district, Jimmy's menu is definitely out of the ordinary. You will find novel selections like Oatmeal-Crusted Chicken, Salmon Pesto, and Lobster Dumplings. Or try dancing shrimp with toasted coconut. Most of the fare is contemporary American, with some Asian touches thrown in. The decor is casual and comfortable, and the walls are covered with hundreds of caricatures of St. Louis celebrities and regular patrons.

Neruda


East Meets West
4 Club Centre Court
St. Louis, IL 62025
United States
+1 618 659 9866
http://www.neruda2dine.com
A lot of people drive out from St. Louis to this restaurant in the boomtown of Edwardsville for the pasta lover's buffet on Tuesdays and for the Sunday brunch. With the pasta, the usual Italian sauces are available, but there are also interesting sauces with Southwestern and Asian influences, offering a fusion of East and West. For the less adventurous diner, the steaks are very good. Diners' attire ranges from shorts to suits. The restaurant's decor is bold and contemporary with deep crimson walls. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to dine on the weekend.

Upscale elegance

United States
+1 314 725 6588
http://www.portabellarestauran...
An upscale restaurant in the heart of Clayton, Portabella concentrates on exquisite food without the pretentious service. The atmosphere is white tablecloth posh, but casual at the same time. For appetizers, the flash-fried calamari is superb. Seafood entrées are prominent on the menu, including a fine Sea Bass with a portobello mushroom sauce and a delicious roasted Monkfish. Italian cuisine is also featured, notably a variety of the chef's own pasta dishes. For dessert, try the tiramisu.

Fresh seafood specials are prepared daily, and all entrees include a fresh vegetable and choice of salad or soup. Many of the recipes are Andy's own creations, and much of the desserts are homemade.

Top of the Riverfront


Downtown dining with a view
200 S Fourth St
St. Louis, MO 63102
United States
+1 314 241 3191
Located on the top floor of the Millennium Hotel St. Louis, the Top of the Riverfront is a restaurant that can guarantee a dramatic dining experience. A revolving restaurant, it offers spectacular views of downtown St. Louis landmarks and the Mississippi. You can choose from among many seafood items that make up its self-described "Mississippi" specialties (the pecan-encrusted salmon served over risotto is a good choice), or you can choose more conservative picks such as pepper steak with cognac mustard sauce, roast duck with cranberry relish, or even prime rib. There are interesting appetizers, too, as well as excellent souffles.

Zinnia


California cuisine meets the Midwest
7491 Big Bend
St. Louis, MO 63119
United States
+1 314 962 0572
http://www.zinniarestaurant.com
The dining room fills quickly at this cutting-edge restaurant, which emphasizes California cooking. It is definitely a good idea to make weekend reservations well in advance. You can also expect the dining room to be buzzing with activity and conversation, so do not plan on making this your choice for a peaceful, quiet meal. The wait staff, though, is professional and attentive. Appetizers and salads are designed to get you started without being too filling. Entrees include duck, rabbit and lamb and are served with side dishes designed to complement the main dish. More down-to-earth selections include steaks and pizza.
