The space is rather large and has an older crowd. There were some older men playing dominoes , clearly their hang out spot. The service was quick (they weren't very busy) and the food came out HOT! I ordered fish, fries and broccoli. The dis was delicious, loved it would get it again. The broccoli was less appetizing as it wasn't cook all the way. The hot honey sauce that came with my loves wings was DELICIOUS. Over a cute spot , the music was a little loud for how few people were in there but overall a good experience and I will be back for more fish .

Im from North so  it's on the Northside. Lol  Either way,  I finally decide to stop on thru and was rewarded with some very good tasting food.  They are known for their homemade ice cream and for selling breakfast all day during their operation hours  (as of this review, they are closed on Sundays and Mondays)  On the day I went it was too hot for me to get ice cream as a togo item so I got : Breakfast plate with  salmon Croquet 3.5/ 5:  2  nice sized  patties that were well seasoned ( too well season for me but I can see how the majority of their customer base would like them this way. Egg over easy 3/5  good but the yolks wasn't running like it supposed to be Potatoes 5/5 smothered potatoes; best ever I had from a restaurant hands down  Wheat toast; 3/5  I would have prefer white bread. Im going to ask next time if white is an option.  Plain Stirfry : 5/5 noodles and sauce were on point .portion size was huge  They have a loyal  neighborhood customer base and the food is cooked to order; so there will be a wait time. If you are on the North, check out Ari's !!

This makes me so nervous because what if no seats are open when it's my turn to sit down! LOL. There was no problem finding a table inside. Every item I ordered was 5 stars!! The umami omelette was delicious. Do not be alarmed by the mustard! It works! It's great. The hibiscus tea and lemonade was refreshing! Very light flavors and not too sweet. THESE ARE DEFINITELY AT THE TOP OF THE PANCAKE LIST IN ST. LOUIS. Fluffy, delicious, a true house-made batter. I'd prefer actual blueberries instead of the blueberry brown butter.

We got a cinnamon roll to share between the 4 of us and loved how it was balanced with sweet and spicy. The umami omelette lived up to its name and was delicious! Service was the most disappointing thing. You order at the register and put your number on your table, ok. Get your own water, alright. The cashier didn't let us know where the milk was for coffee and the person I asked seemed annoyed that I didn't know already. Sorry, first time here. For a really cute place with such tasty food, the cafeteria style service doesn't match.

The space is striking: the perfect blend of elegant and eclectic. Service is truly impeccable from the moment you walk in. Our server was phenomenal and guided us seamlessly through the menu. We loved that there were so many shareable options, which made it easy (and fun) to explore. Standouts for us were the cocktails, the wine selection, the truffled baked potato (don't skip this), the shaved veal, and the zucchini carpaccio. Every bite delicious. We'll absolutely be back.

I was excited to try Esca after friends were raving about it. My husband and I dined here for our…read moreanniversary meal, and I wish we would have chosen a place with a little more enthusiasm and less pretension. The server seemed annoyed with being there, never asked my husband if he wanted a refill, took forever to check on us, and messed up the bill, which I didn't catch until after signing it. I've been to plenty of fine dining restaurants where our server has introduced themselves and asked about the occasion, and this place did none of that. Esca has the service of a fast casual restaurant- zero rapport with the customer. Oh and I was charged a 20% service fee. Super tacky to do that for a table of two at a nice restaurant. Bruschetta was such a small portion and flavorless. The artichokes claimed to have anchovy but my husband said he couldn't taste any, so he essentially got a tiny $20 artichoke as an appetizer. My $16 spritz was so loaded with ice I had maybe three sips of the actual drink. I noticed every other table had bread service but we weren't offered any. Our dinner was finished and I finally asked our server for bread. The best part of my meal was the gelato with olive oil, that's it. I don't think I'll spend the $$ again at this place. It's such a bummer because I had high hopes for a stellar Mediterranean meal.

We heard about the DelMar Loop and also heard about this place so decided to drop on by! One of the best parts was free parking! OK, we saw they had a patio and that was perfect for us because our puppy needed a place too. They seated us quickly, brought us some menus, and took our drink order. We both had 0% beer because, you know, it was just 12 noon - a little early for the hard stuff! We both ordered some barbecue! I ordered the brisket and pulled pork, along with the potato salad and chili! OK before the food review I got it put in a great word for the waitress. She was very friendly, and gave us some good pointers on things to check out while in town - very cool. Oddly enough, we were the only one sitting on the patio, even though it was a very pleasant day, indeed. When the food came? I thought the brisket was a little odd because it wasn't chopped. It was cut into little cubes but paired with one of the sauces? Very nice! And pulled pork was great. The potato salad? Yup! The chili? Yup! The fried bread roll? Well, it was a little unexpected, but it was very nice as well. As we had heard that St. Louis barbecue was uniquely different from any other barbecue, we had to have it! I'm not gonna say it was spectacularly different, but it was good! We ordered a lemon gooey bar for dessert and shared it! Apparently it's a St. Louis thing? Yes! Would we come again? Oh yes, indeed! And you should try it too if you like good barbecue.!

Wow, I was looking for some good barbecue in St. Louis. I knew that shouldn't be hard to find here!…read moreWell, I found a great place on my first try. Came late afternoon, so it wasn't very busy. I sat at the bar, and had phenomenal service from the bartender. But the food is where things really shined. I started the mail with the bacon deviled eggs. They were filled to the brim and super tasty. I got the two meat combo. With ribs, bologna, slaw, and cream corn. Everything was absolutely amazing. The baloney, with a fresh chowchow and Stone Ground mustard, was one of the best barbecue items I've had anywhere. The slaw some vinegar based and it's very tangy. It was very good. This was a really good barbecue restaurant in St. Louis area. I need to try somewhere else, but it's gonna be hard not just to come back here!

Nixta's new location is indeed nicely decorated with a fun and pleasant vibe. It's a comfortable,…read morenice place to spend an evening. Historically, you found Nixta more than solid in both food and drinks. For example, their grilled octopus remains a highlight, light but flavorful, and still a reliable choice but their overall execution has definitely declined, sadly. They do have a cocktail menu that's quite good, though you missed the mezcalitas they once offered. The service on our recent visit was a major letdown. Even on a quiet Thursday night with only one other table present, the staff didn't show much engagement or interest in guiding us through the menu. This lack of attentiveness was disappointing, especially since the restaurant was nearly empty. In the past, I would have rated Nixta very highly, but now I'd place it around three/four stars due to the service issues. In summary, the food remains good, but unless the service improves, it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend it for a full dining experience.

First of all, the place is classy that I was too embarrassed to take photos and will have to rely on words alone to describe my dining experience. We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated promptly at a corner table. The place has a romantic vibe and the noise level was low. Perfect for when you want to dine in peace. Our waitee came over shortly to take our drink orders. They gave us 2 different menu versions as mine didn't have the prices but his did. I had a glass of cabernet and my husband had a nice cocktail to start. We shared the crab cake (pan seared, with citrus salad, lemon remulade and pickeld red onions. My husband also got the French onion soup because he likes French onion soup and he said it was great. The crab cakes were delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite! I had the ribeye prepared medium rare and my husband had the salmon. We also ordered the brussel sprouts and creamed spinach sides to share which were all lovely and well seasoned. My steak was prepared the way I asked for it to be and our dinner proceeded smoothly. Our waiter came and checked on us regularly to make sure we were well tended to and got us another round of drinks. I was unfortunately too full for dessert which is unusual as I always try to have dessert on Friday nights. However, getting full on a fantastic meal was not something I regretted. And I had leftovers for the weekend as well! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Tenderloin Room except that I cannot wait to return and have more of their delicious steak!
