 High on service |
16806 Chesterfield Airport Rd St. Louis, MO 63005 United States +1 636 532 7684 http://www.stl-eat.com/AnnieGu... |
"Fun and casual" is the name of the game in this American restaurant. Owners Thom and Jane Sehnert are friendly and well-known in the St. Louis community and culinary scene. Annie's serves great food, but that is somewhat offset by the cramped dining area and the lengthy wait. This restaurant is known for its steaks, but it also serves smoked meats, pork, fish, ribs, burgers and more. Outdoor dining is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An historic local tradition |
9160 Clayton Road St. Louis, MO 63124 United States +1 314 993 0011 http://www.buschsgrove.com |
This historic restaurant, frequented by the local gentry, has a private club-like atmosphere. The menu is equally classic, offering traditional favorites like steaks, prime rib and filet of sole. The food is consistently top-notch, with exemplary service to match. Most of the waiters have been there so long that they are practically local institutions. Outdoor dining is available in comfortable "cabins," weather permitting. The bar is a popular hangout for regular patrons, who may be dressed in anything from jeans to long formals. The entire restaurant recently underwent a $13 million renovation, which preserved the dignified charm the restaurant has built over its 100+ years, but added some modern sparkle.

Trendy California-style cuisine |
94 Plaza Frontenac St. Louis, MO 63131 United States +1 314 997 8885 http://www.saucemagazine.com/c... |
You would not expect to find a trendy restaurant like Cardwell's located in a mall. The decor is open and sunny with a large bar that is a popular meeting spot for an upscale West County clientele. The fare features an eclectic mix of California and Mediterranean-style cuisines. One specialty is the Mediterranean Sampler, an impressively large platter with feta cheese, couscous salad, a roasted head of garlic, olive bread and Sicilian eggplant relish. The popular four-cheese pizza is topped with goat cheese. Try the Profiteroles for dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elegant French bistro |
4580 Laclede Ave St. Louis, MO 63108 United States +1 314 361 1589 http://www.chezleon.com/ |
The ambiance of understated elegance at Chez Leon is reminiscent of an authentic Parisian bistro. For an appetizer try the excellent pate; a different variety made fresh each night. The robust French onion soup (gratinée) is another traditional hit. The menu features a wealth of splendid entrees, notably the red snapper with the chef's special red sauce and the beef fillet. See their website for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional Italian on The Hill |
5101 Wilson Ave St. Louis, MO 63110 United States +1 314 771 1632 http://www.dominicsrestaurant.... |
Considered by many to be the best Italian restaurant on The Hill, this restaurant inspires elegance and good taste. Gentlemen will want to wear a suit and tie, and ladies should make it a point to dress up for the occasion, too. Italian landscape oil paintings and romantic chandelier lighting perfectly complement the tasteful ambiance. Veal and fettuccine dishes are hearty favorites, but do not overlook the seafood and halibut selections. The wine list is among the top in St. Louis and features many Italian vintages. Cappuccinos and espressos perfectly complete every meal. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elegant Italian dining downtown |
#1 Metropolitan Square St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 421 0555 http://www.kemolls.com |
One of the greatest names in St. Louis restaurants, Kemoll's has been in business for more than 60 years. Relocated to a posh downtown office building from its original home in North St. Louis, Kemoll's has lost a little of the cozy feel of the old place, yet it has gained a reputation for food and service that is better than ever. It offers upscale Italian cuisine and can be counted on for the quality of its pasta, veal, beef and seafood. Be sure to ask for Paglia e Fieno, a longtime favorite pasta with green and white noodles and plenty of cream and butter. Although Kemoll's is popular for its early dinner plates, it also serves lunch for groups only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Romancing Little Italy |
3121 Watson Rd St. Louis, MO 63139 United States +1 314 647 6222 http://www.lorussos.com/ |
Family and heritage are the themes here, along with love and romance. The restaurant serves fine Italian cuisine and caters for all occasions. Tables are spaced for comfort and privacy. The clientele varies from families and couples seeking romance to business travelers looking for a great meal and atmosphere for meetings. Sink your teeth into Mama Lorusso's special creation of Bolognese—tomato sauce with ground beef and special seasonings served over linguini with meatballs or salsiccia. Review © 2007, Wcities |

French country inn atmosphere |
3519 St. Albans Rd St. Louis, MO 63073 United States +1 636 458 0131 |
This charming, out-of-the-way country inn is about an hour's drive from the city in the west end of the county, but it is worth every minute. Diners here enjoy creative dishes and traditional French fare, with lighter sauces than you find in many French eateries. Dine beside a stone fireplace and enjoy the quaint country French atmosphere, efficient service and excellent wine selection. Save room for dessert; the showstopper is the St. Almond Basket, a decadent confection. The service is excellent and the staff is accustomed to diners making an evening of their meals.

This cozy yet sophisticated wine bar, located in the heart of Clayton, caters mainly to a business clientele at lunch, followed later in the day by a lively mixed crowd of dinner patrons and late-night revelers. After nibbling on the tasty flatbread, try one of the excellent Mediterranean entrees. The popular hummus is a meal in itself. Also try the beef tenderloin with roasted garlic crabmeat demi-glaze.

Biergarten, Bierkeller and Kaffee Haus |
1600 S Lindbergh Blvd St. Louis, MO 63131 United States +1 314 993 5600 http://www.schneithorst.com/ |
Really three restaurants in one, this establishment offers dining al fresco in the Biergarten with an open deck, traditional Bavarian dining in the main dining room of the Bierkeller and casual Kaffee Haus dining with tables for four and leather-backed chairs. The bierkeller is decorated in traditional German style with a vaulted ceiling, large dining tables and decorative beer steins. A St. Louis mainstay, it has been serving hearty German fare like weiner schnitzel and sauerbraten since 1917. Top off your meal with one of their specialty beers or a glass of German wine.

Elegant dining |
100 Seven Trails Dr St. Louis, MO 63011 United States +1 636 227 6686 |
Be prepared for a hefty check at this upscale West County restaurant. The décor is a bit overdone and heavy on statuary, but the superb food makes up for any other shortcomings. The Continental fare features such delights as Beef Wellington, Broiled Swordfish, Florida Red Snapper and Lemon Sole Oscar. The chef's pastry creations for dessert would be worth the trip alone. The Seventh Inn also offers an impressive wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

7823 Forsyth St. Louis, MO 63105 United States +1 314 721 7375 http://www.thecrossingstl.com/ |
The Crossing is one of the better new restaurants to open in the busy Clayton area. The elegant cuisine is a blend of Italian and French influences, which means you can expect everything from foie gras with pears and mussels in saffron broth to Limousin Beef. Seafood is a specialty, as yellowfin tuna, Maryland softshell crab and Alaskan halibut are expertly prepared by renowned chefs Jim Fiala and Cary McDowell. Try the savory blue cheese soufflé for an appetizer. For dessert, there are apple wedges with crispy pastry drizzled with chocolate and caramel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The decor in Zhivago's is elegant, with dark green walls and crystal chandeliers. Adding to the ambience, many of the patrons and most of the waiters carry on conversations in Russian. You will find Russian fare with Asian and Mediterranean influences on the menu. Appetizers, or zakuski, come in ample portions that some would call a meal in itself. As for entrees, the lamb tenderloin with spicy sauce and beef stroganoff are both highly recommended.
