This restaurant has been on my list for awhile, consistently popping up on my socials. Based upon…read morethe way it's decorated inside and the fact that Labyrinth was playing while we were here, they seem to be going for a Gen X crowd. Lots of little touches that age group will appreciate. Even though the place was packed, we found a seat right away. Service was prompt but not pushy, and based upon how hot the food was when it arrived, it wasn't sitting around in the kitchen for long. Pretty good price for the generous portion. If I had been going straight home after, I could have brought enough in leftovers for another meal. They also have a heavy metal themed brunch, which will be my next thing I have to check out here

It's a cool corner bar/resturant that gets really busy. They have a game area next door but…read moreconnected so you can play games while waiting for your food. If appears they have game tournaments there too which is cool. We all ordered burgers in our party and I'm not sure if they needed up our order or if this place only has waffle fries but that's what we all ended up with at our table. I'm not big on waffle fries but they didn't taste bad. It was busy and I think our server/bartender was all over the place so ib didn't say anything. He did forget our cup of cheese sauce and took the whole plate to the back instead of just going to get the cheese sauce. The burgers were ok, a little thick for my liking but taste fine. Others enjoyed their burgers but it was a bit too much. Overall the atmosphere was cool, the decor was nice and we had fun. I think it's a place people should experience. That being said, I wouldn't return because the food wasn't for me.

Ordered the wings "trashed" it is not on the menu - you need to ask for this. The tangiest, crispiest wings with some heat and parmesan sprinkled on top. Absolutely delicious.

My boyfriend and his friends rave about this place, so it was only a matter of time until I went…read more We all came Friday night and it was packed (which was to be expected because apparently it's always busy). We took the first table available, which happened to be in the middle of the entry way. It was a rather odd placement, but it beat having to wait! Our server was prompt and immediately gave us water and menus. Since it was late, I opted for something light and chose the blackened white fish that came with rice pilaf and veggies. Score for being healthy and fitting my macros without having to substitute. My boyfriend got the hot wings and a gyro salad, while his friend got the chicken kebabs and a salad. Their food came first while mine came later. I sampled a piece of the gyro meat and it was quite tasty but had a taco flavor, which I found odd considering we were at a Greek restaurant! My dish was good. It wasn't that blackened but it was still seasoned well and had great flavor. The vegetables were a bit basic and could have used more seasoning. Aside from that, the dish was a hit and our service was great. I'll for sure be back.

Hard to believe it had been eight years since I last dined at Olive + Oak. During the summer of…read more2018, I was working in St. Louis and had several occasions to dine there. Since then, Olive + Oak has moved to its current location, which is spacious, airy and filled with light. And somehow, our experience last night was even better than what I remembered. I was having dinner with three friends I used to work with, and Abby, our server, was outstanding from start to finish. I arrived first and had a chance to chat with her before everyone else got there. Her energy and personality immediately stood out, and I knew she was going to be a hit with our group. Hard to believe she has been at Olive + Oak for only six months. She kept taking care of us throughout the evening. She really wanted us to try the grilled carrots, so she brought us an order on the house. Later, one of the managers stopped by with wine glasses and poured us some wine, also compliments of the restaurant. Those unexpected touches made an already great evening even more memorable. With four of us, we were able to explore quite a bit of the menu. We started with the Chicken Wings, Charred Octopus and Lion's Mane Steak. All three were distinctive and delicious. The Fried Green Tomato Salad was enormous, easily enough for all four of us to share, and packed with flavor. We learned it was leaving the menu after that night, so our timing was pretty good. For my entrée, I had the Grilled Flank Steak with crispy Parmesan potatoes, along with a side of Olive + Oak fries. Incredible. The fries were world-class, and Abby even tracked down some barbecue sauce for me to dunk them in. And those Grilled Carrots Abby insisted we try? Wow! Definitely one of the surprises of the night. We finished by sharing two new desserts, the Cloud Cake and Samoa Cookie Cake. Both were super delicious and a great way to end the meal. We ultimately spent more than three hours at Olive + Oak, and never once felt rushed. We were there to reconnect, tell stories and enjoy being together again. Great food certainly mattered, but the warm, attentive service made the evening even better. Eight years was way too long between visits. Olive + Oak remains my favorite St. Louis restaurant.

First time here, and I really enjoyed it.We got "The SPB" pizza. The crust looks thick, but it was…read morelight and crisp. The sauce had a really fresh, slightly sweet flavor. The pork sausage was seasoned well and ground up so that it spread well in every bite. The pepperoncini and bacon filled out the flavor. It was really tasty. I got the Tamno Pivo beer to drink. It was a dark lager. It had a nice strong flavor, but not as strong as an Ale. We'll definitely be back. The staff helpful and patient, and the food came out surprisingly fast. It is a fun location and will be a great place to hang out in the nice weather.

The salad came out first and was very good, fresh and not overloaded with dressing. Good size to split with someone as a side, or as a meal on its own. The pizza came out soon after and was hot from the oven with a great crust! Perfect with some added red pepper flake and parm! We layout of the place is simple, with a self server area for water, plastic wear and napkins, you also clean up your own table when you are done. I did feel a bit misled when we were ordering beer, as my wife wanted a dark beer and they didn't have anything on draft. After talking with the people working there for a bit, they remembered that they had some Hazel Ave, which is a dark beer. They asked if she liked coconut, as it has that flavor in it. She does and was happy to hear they had something that would work for her. They rang us up and then asked if we wanted 2 glasses, which I thought was odd, since I had ordered a different beer. Then I saw the other person opening a 750 mo bottle and realized that the Hazel Ave is the size of a full bottle of wine. It's also $40 which was an unpleasant surprise, and I only learned after it had been rung up and opened. About that time, they realized that my beer hadn't been rung in and asked if I wanted it still. Having just spent more on the beer than our food, I declined. It's a very dark been that also has a strong hazel it flavor, which we didn't know (and she doesn't like). Live and learn I guess, but not a great first visit. Food was good enough that we might try it again, but will be very careful/skip ordering drinks if we come back!

I think this was the fourth year we went to the Art Outside fair. We love it! It was super hot this…read moreyear and both attendees and vendors were really feeling the heat! We walked around looking at art for a while. There was music being played on stage that was not pleasing to the ear (I'm trying to put it nicely), and it was super loud. There has been music other years that wasn't great, but at least it wasn't really loud! After a while, we decided to have lunch. As much as I love the patio, we opted to ear inside so we could be in the AC for a while. We were seated right away - 5 adults and a toddler. The dining room was full - I think everyone was cooling off! We waited maybe 15 minutes and nobody had come by our table. I know they were busy, but come on. Finally I got a staff member's attention and asked if we could please have a server. A gal came over and apologized and said she wasn't told she had our table. She was still waiting on tables outside and we had to wait longer still to place our orders. After all that, she forgot to order all of the food. One person in our group didn't get any food. The server admitted she didn't enter it and went and took care of it. I couldn't tell you what I, or anyone else, had for lunch. But we all enjoyed what we ordered! We do go here occasionally and it's not chaotic like it is when they have events. We look forward to Art Outside here every year. The vendors are great, there's good food, plenty to drink, and it's just a cool vibe. We'll be back!

Our waitress was superb in helping us serving us and anything that we need. My friend got the pizza and I got mushroom tacos and it was great because we got to split the food and enjoy a little bit of both. The pizza you have to get! It was so tasty. I wish that I would've gotten the same thing! Tip: ask for a side of honey, so you can drizzle on top of it as well. As a little bit of salty and sweet altogether completely divine! We got our beer. It was so incredibly hot that the beer did unfortunately get warm pretty fast. It would be really cool if there were insulated cups, especially since the inside was not air-conditioned. But otherwise everything was really tasty. Happy to make my way here after not being for a few years. Definitely should check it out.

At one point, my drink stayed empty for a while, but maybe they were busy with online orders, etc so I'm not too worried about that! I ended up getting a crisp Dr. Pepper to go, so I'm good haha!

Unfortunately, I am from out of town, so may only get to experience this every once in a while when I drop into St. Louis, but I will be sure to stop by and try other pizzas. I have no doubt they will be equally amazing.

I typically order something like a build-your-own pizza with pineapple and goat cheese. Service is pretty fast.

Where has this place been all our lives? We've completely been sleeping on Mai Lee and now it's…read morebecome one of our favorite restaurants. The food is absolutely phenomenal. The bún bò Huế is hands-down one of the best we've ever had. The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and we keep telling ourselves we're going to order something different... but we can't stop coming back to the bún bò Huế! The shaking beef is incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the beef curry is another standout that's absolutely worth ordering. Everything tastes fresh, especially the generous plates of herbs and garnishes. The cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, and limes are always fresh, crisp, and plentiful, which really elevates every dish. The service has been outstanding every time we've visited. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the restaurant is always clean and inviting. The menu has such a huge variety that we've officially decided to make it a date-night challenge to work our way through the entire menu. At this rate, that may take a while because we keep ordering the bún bò Huế over and over! This place is an absolute gem. If you enjoy authentic Vietnamese food, do yourself a favor and give Mai Lee a try. 10/10, highly recommend.
