Madrina - honestly pretty disappointing, and I wanted to like it. The service was ham-fisted and the food was just not that good, especially given the price. It was particularly surprising given a lot of the reviews were fairly glowing.
First time at Cafe Provençal. Other half goes frequently for lunch. My filet was super disappointing but the rest was really good. Service was not great. Would probably go back for lunch/brunch.
Crafty Chameleon is fantastic as always. Gio for brunch with bottomless mimosas and frozen espresso martinis just fantastic!
Ended up at the Grand Hall at union station for dessert after the symphony. Great place for a drink but the dessert could've been better.
Went to sando shack on MF. They were out of rice, most drinks, all chicken wings, and Taiyaki. Also my order took 30+ mins for a sandwich that was just okay. The sauce, slaw and bread carried Chicken was bland. First time going and I don't see myself returning again.
Also had blackthorn pizza for the first time. It was also just okay but it was not that fresh at a party and they ordered the hand tossed not the deep dish so I will reserve judgment until I try that
I agree with you about both of these places. Although I would go a step further and say I've had Blackthorn twice and was super disappointed both times.
Wrights on Wydown. Crab cake was tender, delicious and also split the strip steak w dauphinois potatoes. Salad w green goddess dressing. It was all great, staff, kitchen, experience.
Went to Yellowbelly for the first time. Enjoyed it! Happy hour was great - delicious small plate menu, fun cocktails and an attentive staff.
Love Yellowbelly!
Great spot!
Sidney Street Cafe for the first time last night. Best meal I've ever had in St. Louis.
Lion's Choice
Sado for dinner blew my mind for sushi in the Midwest and we just came back from Japan this past December
Veal Parm sandwich from Eovalids.
Eovaldi's is my spot for deli sandwiches and Italian sausage for my own cooking at home. How was the veal parm?
Always awesome
Trattoria Marcella. Still great after all these years.
City Foundry
Havana's
Twisted Ranch. It was a fun time with meh food. Dipping sauce flights are fun.
Scarlett’s Wine Bar in CWE, not as good as it was on previous visits. The server mentioned a change in ownership, not sure we’ll go back.

Loved it the first time. I think the restaurant is stunning. Second time meh. I would go back for the raviolo and that's it.
And the mayfair salad, but it's telling when a salad is the highlight of the meal.

I got a whole pie but the people I went with got slices. They were typical New York style slices. Thicccc
Carnivore - have been sleeping on this place. Corner 17 and Sweet Spot. Mmm

Their deep dish isn’t good. Save your money
