This place is such a vibe! The lighting provides a moody atmosphere which pairs well with such sophisticated tapas. This is a great spot for a small group, though I wouldn't recommend taking too many people if everyone wants to be able to try a little bit of everything. The zucchini and the carrots were the stars of the show, but we loved all the dishes we tried. The server was helpful in crafting our order and pointing us in the right direction. Definitely recommend checking out this chic spot for your next girl dinner / team outing / date night!

I finally made it to Bar Moro for a weekend date night. The environment is dark and intimate with warm hospitality from the staff. Everything is small plates meant to share so we ordered a variety of bites. My favorite was a spread and I don't recall what this one was called because I go to so many Ben Poremba restaurants and I eat some kind of spread at all of them because they're incredible! I will definitely be back for some more seasonal items as the menu changes so I can experience it all over again.

A wonderful surprise on our trip to Saint Louis. This restaurant was a delight in all ways--food, service and ambiance. Great Spanish influences with a little twists, a solid bar to back the meal with both cocktails, great vermouth and European wines that pair perfectly. My only frustration--an inability to eat more of the options they had.

Sometimes the best dining experiences happen on a whim, and that was exactly the case with my visit to Bar Moro this past Friday night. With a rare opening in my schedule and a craving for something new, I made a same-day reservation. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. We were seated immediately, offered water, and given a helpful overview of the menu by the server behind the bar. The menu is divided into small and large plates, with a focus on sharing. Following the server's recommendation, we ordered four small plates (carrots, anchovies, meatballs, peppers) and one large plate (roasted rabbit), pacing ourselves throughout the meal. We came in quite hungry, and this was more than enough food for two. Every dish built on the previous, which made for a great tasting experience. Just when we thought we were done, we made room for the soufflé de queso, which was the perfect ending. A complimentary taste of dessert wine paired with it was a thoughtful touch that elevated the experience. Overall, I was thoroughly happy with the food, service, and ambiance at Bar Moro.

The Dark and moody atmosphere was perfect here. The art, lighting and smaller details made for an elevated night out. We had a pitcher of the sangria and it was a great amount for three people. For small plates we ordered the bacon wrapped dates, salt cod croquettes, toasted carrot salad and some mussels in white wine from there tinned fish selections. I would recommend all four of those dishes over and over again. Flavors were complex and well layered through out every dish. Everything was fresh and perfect for sharing. This is a smaller restaurant but definitely worth checking out!

I had such an incredible dining experience here. When you look at the menu, you might not think "this is a must try", but it really is! The ambiance is fun, moody, and sexy. The service was amazing and I had the best halibut of my life! I will definitely be back! Everything was delicious from the pan con tomato, the canned fish, the shisito peppers, but the halibut won the show. I cant wait to come back!

Okay, first of all the vibes are insane. Everywhere has the dimly lit thing going on nowadays which I love, but Bar Moro is truly distinguished with what they've accomplished. It is rustic, teetering on gothic. Amazing vibes for a nice little date night. Insanely unique with furs draped over chairs, garnishes out; and a semi open kitchen concept. The service was solid. We just popped in for 1 drink so we did not get the full experience, but some of their bites looked unreal. Our drinks were solid. I rolled with a house martini and my friend got a spanish sour. They were overall good; but not my favorite. The martini is a dirty martini riff which isnt exactly my speed but conceptually well executed by the bar team. Same with the spanish sour; it had great flavor, just a little unbalanced for me. Once more, still solid drinks just not in the elite category. Would love to back for some more drinks just to enjoy the vibes. Such a dope spot. I wish the weather was warmed for our visit because the patio seating setup is beautiful!

I made a reservation for 7p on a Saturday at the bar and was seated promptly on arrival. The restaurant is tiny, borderline cramped, but makes up for it with a lot of cool dark academia-esque ambiance (black walls, well-used tapered candles) mixed in with unmistakably Spanish influence (bunches of dried peppers hanging, an Iberian pork leg on the counter). I knew when I arrived that I wanted to try as much tinned fish and sherry as possible, but I wasn't prepared for an actual LIST of tinned fish selections to be presented to me! They had everything from fatty tuna to barnacles to octopus on the list, I had to make a difficult decision. I opted for the mussels, which were delicious on the house bread with their bright olive oil and a habañero hot sauce. I also had half a dozen oysters, which were presented beautifully on a bowl of ice with lemon wedges. I opted for a glass of fino sherry to go with the seafood, which my lovely bartender said was an excellent pairing (after also letting me sample some others--muchas gracias!), and we were off to the races. As a side note, I highly recommend doing some research about sherry before you go if you're planning on venturing through that part of the menu and you've never had sherry before. How sherry is made is fascinating and there is an extraordinary variation in dryness or sweetness depending on the type you get. As for the food, every bite was exceptional. I graduated to an amontadillo sherry for my next selections, the baccalà and piquillo peppers. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish those dishes in the restaurant, but I did have them packed to go and finished them at home--delicious. The salt cod is shredded into mashed potatoes and served with buttery well-toasted croûtes--a riot of salty, umami, soft, and crunch. And the piquillo peppers are laid out on the plate with dots of olive tapenade, anchovies, wedges of goat cheese, and oil--salty and tangy complimented by the sweetness of the peppers, umami from the anchovies. My only regret is that I couldn't eat more. I was looking forward to having an oloroso sherry with the pan con tomate "deluxe", which is served with boquerones. Definitely coming back for it, and likely bringing friends.

Bar Moro is getting 5 stars for the consistent product I receive whenever I try any of their food items. New dishes, repeat dishes, they are always hitting the mark. I love sitting at the bar because I get to watch the chefs in action, but it does get warm on occasion (you're next to an oven, this should be obvious ) but maybe wear layers to have the best experience! The menu does change seasonly and they have GREAT specials. I was here last night and plan on making an appearance again on Friday. Last night's noms were: the bacon wrapped dates, the seasonalchicken dish, and a must have dessert: burnt cheesecake. (This is served warm and it's delightful.) They also have an amazing vermut selection and the mancino sakura is a MUST. It's like spring in a cup. I've had multiple dishes here over the past few months, rabbit, lamb, apps, tinned fish. It NEVER disappoints and the staff are always so friendly and fun to chat with. Couple tips: 1. Share or plan on taking food home as leftovers. Order from multiple sections of the menu and split things. This is the place you want to try more of. 2. Dress in layers if you plan on sitting at the bar, like I said, sometimes it gets warm but it does not make for a negative experience in anyway. Just plan on it. 3. Make Reservations. Especially on a weekend.

My current obsession. The bar is the best seat in the house, watching the chefs work is like front row tickets to a culinary magic show. The menu? A masterpiece. The wine list? A flex. Definitely book ahead, but trust me, you're in for something special!

Bar Moro was a pretty nice experience. The place is tucked between other restaurants on Wydown and was somewhat small but our dining experience was wonderful in a big way. We had reservations on a Friday night. The place does get busy so if you're planning on coming in during a busier evening, making a reservation would ensure you can get in. We ordered some of the salt cod croquetas which were fine. The grilled piquillo peppers though were quite wonderful with the anchovies. Probably my favorite of the 2 small plates we ordered. My husband ordered the Spanish omelet. He liked it, he said it was different. I had the fish which was delicious. My entrée was quite large so I ended up taking the rest home for the next day. Service was fine. The food came fairly quickly and our server came by to check on us occasionally. I would come back here again and try their other offerings.
