Their dough was crunchy and chewy and the sauce is very sweet, which complimented the mozzarella basil and olive oil. We got a chance to meet the owner, whose service was amazing and our bartender was very quick and efficient and pleasant.

All were what you envision when visiting a dive bar that's truly a part of our community.

Their patio is fantastic when the weather is nice and creates a charming, upscale atmosphere. That said, the interior is just as inviting, with a romantic and moody ambiance that makes for a great evening out. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations throughout the meal. You can tell the owner and chef take pride in creating a memorable dining experience. We started with the garlic herb fries, which were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I also ordered the classic Caesar salad, and it was authentic, fresh, and perfectly executed. For my entrée, I chose the strip steak, and it was outstanding--easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. The cook was flawless, the flavor was incredible, and every bite showcased the chef's attention to detail. Overall, this was a 10/10 dining experience, and I can't wait to return.

The parking lot had spaces available. We walked in and there was an event space on the right and a large sofa and chairs against the back wall. Signs indicated where to go for Bellwether so we went around the windows showing the climbing wall to the elevator. Upstairs we were greeted promptly and asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. We opted for inside and she led us down one level to the second floor. I think the building is really cool, and the restaurant is well appointed, exposed brick, cool lantern hanging lamps, bookshelves filled with books and odds and ends, Waitress was friendly, there were only a couple of tables on the floor, but she wasn't intrusive and let us take out time. It filled up more by the time we left. The menu had several things I wanted to order but ended up deciding on the breakfast fried rice. We also ordered the cinnamon roll for the table. Coffee was hot and kept refilled, but it was just ok. The cinnamon roll was tasty. The fried rice was great and the fried egg on top was well cooked and tasty. One of our party ordered a side of sausage, it was four links and they were good, another ordered the pork belly sandwich and that was one of my other choices, I tried it and was impressed! I thought it would be too sweet, but it was perfect. Viewing the pictures of dinner, can't wait to go back for that and sitting outside!

He made some suggestions after I asked a few questions. Ended up with the Denial and Error made with Strawberry Infused Cambio Blanco Tequila, Black Sesame-Miso Syrup, Lime, and Chocolate Walnut Bitters. So different but so good as is always the case! I loved how the miso and sesame came through. My other pick was what my daughter was going to get so I got to try that, too! The So Hip It's Outta Sight made with Blanco Tequila, Green Chile Vodka, Creole Shrubb, Cranberry-Sage Syrup, and Lime. It was sweet and good. I would order either of them again. We arrived late on Sunday, around 9:00 PM and they closed at 10:00 not realizing till we were in and seated that no one else was there, we must have passed the last person that came out as we were coming in. Everyone was very gracious; we had one drink and were on our way. I normally have two but didn't want to overstay. I love this place!

Planter's House is not a bar... it's a whole experience. If…read moreyou appreciate a well-made cocktail, this is the place to be in St. Louis. The vibe is classic, elevated, and gives true cocktail lounge energy -- not loud or chaotic, just intentional and well put together. Now let's talk about what we came for: the drinks. We ordered the Old Fashioned flight, and when I say they did not come to play... they did not come to play. Each one was crafted differently, and you can tell there's real skill behind the bar. These are not bartenders -- these are mixologists. Every drink was balanced, strong (in a good way), and thoughtfully made. Quick tip: If you plan on getting the Old Fashioned flight, make this your last stop of the night... because you will feel it. Service was great, drinks came out in a timely manner, and the overall experience felt elevated from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a true cocktail experience in St. Louis.

It's wheelchair friendly but a host may need to grab the door for you. The staff was phenomenal and never missed a beat. The vibes are great! And fun note all their greens are grown in house! The seafood was fresh and very bright! I would love to see a full raw menu when they hit their 1 year of service. The scallop crudo had texture but the raw oysters had the perfect cucumber mignonette! The baked oysters could have been harder but that sauce was fire! Each went well with my Mayday cocktail. Unfortunately the lamb meatballs were a miss as they flavors are not too common to my taste and unfortunately my bread had that burnt taste from the grill. The viral crab pasta was also not very crabby and overly bready. I would add more crab or lessen the amount of pasta to balance. The desserts also need a rework because the flavors were not what you would think for sticky toffee pudding or pistachio ice cream. There are more menu items to explore so I will be back! I am very interested in what this restaurant has in store for us!

The cocktail list is solid, and the beer selection is seriously impressive, packed with a great mix of local breweries and unique options. There's also a nice outdoor seating area, but honestly, the magic of this spot is at the bar. The atmosphere there really brings everything together. One of the coolest touches is the large display of vinyl records, it adds a ton of character and gives the whole place a unique, almost nostalgic energy. We didn't try the food this time since we just stopped in for drinks, but it's definitely on the list for next visit. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time enjoying this gem of a spot.

We were greeted by a a nice woman at the hostess stand, and got sat promptly at a high top by the window. Drink and food lists looked great. I got the Oaxacan Caffee and my husband had the Savannah slammer. Both were perfectly balanced, made well and with quality ingredients! We both got a standard espresso martini to finish (they use cold brew) and it was lovely as well. No creaminess, nice coffee flavor and not overly sweet. Since it was our first time we got a little welcome cordial - that was a nice addition to our experience. Our waitress was very nice as well. We got our food quickly - pimento cheese dip with house made chips and the Brussels sprout Caesar salad. Pimento cheese dip was very creamy, chips were so thin they kept breaking but they were seasoned well and had a good crunch. The Brussels sprout Caesar was great! Very light but Brussels sprouts were crispy. Even the half size was large for us!
