From the extremely polite Valet. To the overal "Modern Classic" look and extremely knowledgeable waiter. I was impressed before I ever looked at the menu! A great variety of classics and unique dishes, but I was specifically there for the Steak. We started with undoubtedly THE BEST Tosted Ravioli in St. Louis(or anywhere I've ever been!) I then chose the 20(+ according to the waiter) oz Bone-In Ribeye, very rare, with Gorgonzola cheese crumbles on top & a side of Au Jus(Steak Drippings). With the Creamy Mushroom Rizzoto topped with Parmesan & a Ceaser Salad with Parmesan and fresh cracked pepper. I am NOT exaggerating when I tell you... IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST STEAK DINNER I'VE EVER HAD, by far!!!! And I've been to Gallagher's in NYC!! It's a average Upscale Steakhouse price. Expect to pay $, but the experience was WAY above "Average" and worth every penny!! read more

Carmine's was attached to our hotel and was an easy go to the first night of our arrival. I opted for the chicken gorgonzola and a baked potato and my daughter had the burger and steak fries. It was valentine's weekend and the bartender was busy making all sorts of lovely looking cocktails. Ambience in the bar area was very pretty. Food was great in to go format as well. For a steakhouse, the food we got and the price we paid was extremely reasonable. We will be back in a couple weeks to try something else on the menu. read more

Was excited to try this spot. I'm not typically a filet person, I normally get ribeye but this place surely specializes in all cuts specially filets. The crawfish arancini was delicious.. then it all just went downhill. My French onion soup was burned, they overdid the bread. My steak came out overcooked. Then when it came out the right temperature, it lacked flavor. read more

Went here with some coworkers for a great steak experience and it did not disappoint. The steak was phenomenal, the loaded baked potato was the best I have ever and I'll admit the drinks were fantastic. I'd definitely visit this place again when I am in the St. Louis area and recommend you do the same. Just make sure you have some money or you've not extended your credit on your card cause the place is kinda pricey. read more

We chose this spot for a sit-down dinner during our trip to St Louis. I had high hopes for this restaurant attached to the Drury Inn, but it was a letdown. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only three tables occupied, we were seated in an awkward corner right by the kitchen entrance.. Although the menu at the door advertised burgers--which is what we wanted--that menu was never offered to us once we sat down. We opted for the 30-day aged steak, but it was subpar, as were the other dishes. To make matters worse, my wine pour was less than a quarter-full, while I noticed other tables receiving significantly larger pours. Given the high price point, we expected much better quality and service. Definitely the low point of our otherwise great food tour of St. Louis! read more

Stopped by for dinner with my co workers. We were not impressed. The menu was limited the decor was outdated. We asked for our steaks medium and they were over cooked and honestly werent great. The only reason why I dont give it a lower rating its because the server was very good and was very attentive. Definitely overated wity inflated prices. read more

Went here to celebrate an 80th birthday. Staff was super friendly, it was nice and quiet which made it easy to talk, and service was great. We had toasted ravioli and candied scallops for an appetizer. Both were very good! Had a variation of steaks, all cooked perfectly well and delicious. Overall, a great experience! Would definitely recommend in the area, especially before or after a game. read more

We were provided a dinner at Carmine's from the contest I won and reservations were made for us on a Thursday evening at 8pm. Charles was our server. The restaurant is attached to the hotel we were staying at so it was really convenient. Upon arriving, we were greeted at the front and we informed them of our reservation. We were led right away to our table. The restaurant was busy for a weeknight. There were probably 10 tables with people at least. Once Charles greeted us, we ordered some cocktails to get started while we reviewed the menu. Our cocktails arrived and we decided to sip for a little before ordering. Hubs ordered the toasted ravioli for his appetizer and he was especially excited because he prefers meat over cheese ravioli. I was not a fan of it, as you can see from my picture. I ordered the wedge for my appetizer. Holy crap, I was getting so full off of that alone! For dinner, I ordered the surf and turf, along with additional prawns. Hubs ordered just a steak. We ordered corn and a twice baked potato as sides. We went way overboard. Everything tasted good but not out of this world amazing. We finished with some espresso and cake. Again, very good but we overdid it. The service was great. The ambiance was great. The check was over $300, which we did not think was going to be that high. I would definitely visit again if I stayed at the same hotel and definitely order less. read more

Carmine's Steakhouse is A-mazing! We were staying at the Hilton by the stadium and it is a short walk from there. I had the Chicken Modena w/a Potato Gratin that was made with 5 different cheeses. There is so much variety on menu. If you go, ask for Nancy. She is a stellar server and made my first visit so much more comfortable . 10/10 will def go back, after I check if Nancy is working! read more

This meal was pretty damn good. From my first Gorgonzola Stuffed Olive Beefeater Dirty Martini to my last bite of Carrot Cake dessert! First off, this place might have one of the better martinis I've had, and the stuffed olives were amazing! Lobster bites appetizer was very unique and tasty. My Gorgonzola 10oz Fillet was also perfect. Service was attentive and very professional. Explained everything very well and thanked us at the end of the meal. Find dinning at its best. read more

The service was average, ambience very outdated and food was underwhelming, ESPECIALLY for the price point. The risotto was not creamy. It was more of a flavored rice that was stuck together. The cheesy potatoes were just ok to me but my husband loved them. I was skeptical about most of their steaks coming on a bed of sauce. The steaks lacked seasoning so I guess they thought the sauces would make up for it? The Italian Pepperloin was ordered MEDIUM and came out Medium Rare. The gorgonzola was order medium and still had some rare spots. The gorgonzola sauce was so thick! Definitely not a wine sauce that I expected. My experience was just underwhelming. Disappointing. read more

What a fantastic nightcap! After a long day at the Gateway Arch or a night at Busch Stadium, this is the place to unwind. I stopped by after a Cardinals game expecting them to be closed, but to my surprise, they were keeping open past posted hours to entertain the Cardinals fans. The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. The service was attentive and loving, and the drinks and dessert had me wondering how good of a meal I had missed since I didn't come by for dinner earlier in the evening! If Carmine's is the kind of place that will welcome you for a drink and a treat after hours...then they definitely show the same love in their steak. I can't wait to come back! read more

After a long drive yesterday we stayed in a hotel next to this Steakhouse. As we were checking the outside menu, Michael from inside popped out to see if we were coming in. We had our little dog with us so we told him we'd have to put him up and return shortly. OH NO..... Michael said he could come in and have a seat with us. Well of course we went in.... We were greeted again by the bartender Adam who served us a beer, then gave us the specials of the day and a menu. Bethany came over to see if our dog, Scout would like some water. Based on our service alone, no food served yet, this place deserves a 10 star review and 5 bones . We sat in the bar area but there is a large dining room which is beautiful and great for special occasions or date night. On to dinner. We ordered a ribeye, which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by a twice baked potato. We got bernaise sauce and a couple others, YUMMY! I got a salad and sautéed spinach also delicious and hit the spot. Our most unique dish was the appetizer with bacon and jalapeño cake thing. It had texture similar to quiche but it was outta this world delicious. We also had the Onion Rings, Large, Tasty, Perfectly battered and cooked!! Everything about this place is TOP NOTCH. You must give this place a try it's OUTSTANDING!!! And we got our order to go because it was almost closing time. read more

Made a bar room seating reservation for two at 7pm on a Monday. This not part of the Carmines Family Style chain but rather a family owned restaurant. We arrived early and met the bartender Jess, who was very friendly, outgoing and really knew how to make an outstanding martini. We then asked to change our seating to inside at one of thr round tables with a half moon booth and they were very accommodating. Steven our waiter took great care of us, topping off our wine and making some great recommendations. We dined on filet mignon, baked potato and chicken breast with risotto. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. Would welcome the opportunity to go back again, when in the area. Enjoy! read more

The food was fabulous. Our table ordered halibut with spinach risotto. She said it was the best fish dish she had ever had. My other coworker ordered chicken gorganzola. The chef fixed it for her gluten/wheat issues. I ordered the double herb crusted pork chops and twice baked potato. Our server was fabulous. He was perfect and anticipated every one of our needs. The restaurant was decorated with dark woods and Chihuly glass art light fixers. It is old world glamour! read more

Wow! Great service and fantastic food - we loved the jumbo shrimp with sweet chili sauce, really fresh and flavorful. The toasted ravioli was good?? But had like a meatball inside, not your normal toasted rav but still good. The strip steak nachos were delicious, just felt like a random addition on the otherwise elevated menu. I had the Sea Bass - Fish Special, it had a delicious sauce and beautiful mushrooms and sat on a bed of wilted spinach. It came with a side of mushroom risotto, which was HUGE! And tasty :) Many others got steaks - which all looked great and they also have lobster tails. Many of the items on the menu are "market price" so I'd be ready to pay a pretty penny haha - worth it though! read more

Recently went to Carmines for a nice dinner. Was not disappointed. Charles my server provided excellent service. I ordered the ribeye on special. The cut was very flavorful and it was cooked perfectly. Nice marbling with a good char . Along with a twice baked potato and crème brûlée for desert. The restaurant was pleasant with glass art chandeliers. I will say I thought the playlist was a little different for the atmosphere. I would return next time I'm town. read more

This is an annual trip for me and my two best friends. We come to town for a Cardinal game and always find our way to Carmine's for dinner. This trip I had the filet carmine, and my buddies had the filet and NY strip steak. I had the risotto, they had the twice baked potato along with a very tasty shrimp and andouille sausage appetizer. If you go, ask for Devin, he is an excellent server. We also shared a butter cake for dessert-it was excellent. read more

Very nice old school steakhouse located downtown about a block from the gateway arch... great views from the outside patio. Enjoyed their toasted ravioli.. a local favorite dish. Shared some tuxedo cake... delicious and rich in flavor. Service was very professional and pleasant. Cocktails were amazing and would definitely come back for more. read more

This was an unexpected surprise. On a whim we decided to grab some appetizers, drinks and dessert. This place definitely has a beautiful setting and the servers are impeccable. From the host, to our waiter and the bus servers, everyone was lovely. For our appetizers we got the shrimp cocktail and the fried raviolis. The shrimp were HUGE and tasted so fresh. The fried raviolis were tasty and the sauce was delicious. For drinks I enjoyed a Moscato and hubby has an old fashioned which apparently had a lot of different ones to choose from but he went with a basic standard version. Now for dessert I had a cheesecake and hubby went with the gooey butter cake. We both thought our desserts were very tasty. I'd love to come back and try some steak they looked so good. read more

Best Steak and Shrimp Scampi in St. Louis. Server was super nice and chill, will be coming back.

My family and I came here to have a nice dinner after a Cardinals game, and we had a fantastic experience. The service was impeccable - our server was an older lady, whose name is escaping me, but she was attentive, friendly, and fantastic at every turn. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong/good - and, the restaurant was fairly close to our hotel. We enjoyed every minute of our experience, and although the meal was expensive, that is what you expect from a fancy meal like that. I will be coming back when I can make my way out to St Louis again, would recommend! read more

Overall = 4.8 - I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for the most delicious steak in this area - I would not recommend this restaurant. If you are concerned about how your steak is cooked. Food & Drink: **** - I have been to many fine dining restaurants, and This restaurant has the most delicious steak. - The only issue is that unevenly cooked steak. I ordered medium rare, and some parts of the steak are medium, rare, or medium rare. It doesn't bother me, but maybe some people do. - One of the best Oysters I have ever tasted. It's fresh, and there is no oyster smell. Price: ***** - I think that the fine dining restaurant price is reasonable. The money you spend is worth it because the steak is the delicious. Customer Service: ***** - The service was fantastic; I felt welcomed. It was my birthday. The server greeted me with happy birthday and gave us a birthday cake. - I usually do water refill tests, and my glass is always full. Atmosphere: ***** - The atmosphere feels like you are in a fine dining experience and gives a cozy feeling. Cleanliness: ***** - Very clean Note: The opinions and thoughts expressed in this review reflect only my view. This review receives no payment or other compensation from the place reviewed.

Amazing steaks, really recommend trying those first and then working your way to the other good dishes (they have specials such as Chilean sea bass and chicken dishes in the regular menu). If you can save room for dessert you'll be in for a treat. But I can't say enough about the steaks. Personally like a steak without sauce and such but if I do want a dressed up steak I'd recommend the pepperloin (it's encrusted with pepper). Zach was a great server too btw definitely helped guide us through the menu all the way through to dessert. Would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

For 8PM dinner on a Saturday, we were one of the three tables sat. Bartender didn't know what a Paloma was, and it was so quiet I could hear the entire conversation - and the food was one of the worst meals I've ever had. Our waiter was so kind, we didn't want to make his life harder than having one table on a Saturday night. $70 steak was flavorless, $50 lamb was smothered with a canned -tasting cherry sauce, and the mushroom risotto was so thick you could turn the plate upside down and it wouldn't move. Would never recommend this to someone, especially for a $200 disappointing meal. We got our meals to go and immediately tossed them in the street garbage. read more

Really impressed - ate here while in St. Louis visiting from NYC - steaks really good - but didn't like that they weren't flexible with choice of sides - they offered some Cajun version of a vegetable when all I wanted was spinach and they wouldn't substitute without a charge Service really good - and owner was friendly read more

Carmine's is fantastic! Every bite and sip was worth the price. Ask for Kevin's section. He is experienced and an asset to Carmines. The sides are big enough to share so get different options to taste a bit of everything, read more

The place is very nice and our server Kevin was amazing, but we sat as a table of 9 it took almost an hour for our food to come out. Once the food did come out it was all lukewarm and some of the seafood that was ordered was raw. Multiple plates were sent back and all they did was take it and "warm it up." We ended up calling the manager and she seemed very apologetic and did attempt to make it right. All in all though our experience wasn't that great for an upscale restaurant it could've been a lot better. Again our server Kevin PHENOMENAL amazing service from him very polite and attentive and we appreciated how even when we acknowledged that it isn't his fault he still took initiative and owned it because in his words they're a team and they all strive for success. read more

They have valet and although the place was busy there was no wait. They check in your coat at the door and the staff is attentive. Be advised that the menu states they are not responsible for overcooked steak (something like that) with that said my steak was well done when I ordered medium so because of that I could not eat it. It's too dry for my taste. I also did not like the wine sauce it was a little spicy. I found the side options limiting as they offer a veggie or potato of the day which on the day I went was carrots. I love veggies as much as I love steak and the only veggie option was the carrots which was too sweet. There is also a strong cheese smell which if you love cheese you may not mind but for someone that does not love cheese you may not like the smell. I gave them a 3 because although none of us at the table loved the food perhaps if we had a regular filet or rib eye cooked at medium and not well done we would have a better experience, however we did not enjoy it enough to give it another try. read more

We had dinner here before a recent Cardinals game. It was a quintessential steakhouse dinner experience. The service by Charles and the other staff was first class. The food was excellent. I had the pepperloin with twice baked potato. The steak was one of the most tender and best tasting that I have eaten. The twice baked potato however may have been the star of the show. Biggest potato I have ever seen but it's what they do to the potato filling that is magical. All in all a great dinner. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner at 5pm. Restaurant was pretty empty and quiet. I ordered the blood orange old fashioned, surf/turf special (lobster and steak) with risotto and Gorgonzola potato au gratin (special of the day). They provide complimentary bread and butter and a free dessert for birthday. Pros: -the staff are absolutely phenomenal here! SO attentive, great with recommendations, and very friendly-everything you'd expect from a high quality dining experience. -the steak/lobster (surf and turf) was AMAZING. Very tasty! -the risotto! Great flavor, cooked perfectly, and paired well with the steak and lobster. Would absolutely order anytime I visit Cons: -the old fashioned was good although I couldn't taste any blood orange flavoring to it which was disappointing. I would order a regular instead. -the potato of the day was disappointing to me. The potatoes were perfectly cooked but the dish was lacking seasoning and the Gorgonzola flavor, I ended up sending it back For those who are $ conscious coming here, consider asking the price of specials offered. I was a little surprised at my total because compared to Ruth Chris & other local steakhouses my meal was quite expensive (my drink was $15). Overall great experience, would come again! read more

We have been looking for a great steakhouse downtown and I think we finally found it! We had friends visit from out of town and we took them here the first night and man oh man were we all wowed! This place knows how to make a steak and a great cocktail! We were all impressed with their menu. The steaks come with a side which was a great change from all the other steak houses. If you're looking for a good appetizer, I recommend the Lobster Bites - they melted in your mouth! The service was amazing. We had Nikki and she was so professional and a great time! I can't wait to come back. read more

With some mixed reviews I wasn't sure about having dinner here, but I was staying in the Drury Hotel next to it, and thought id give it a go. They seated me right away (dining for one has its perks!). The restaurant is definitely dated, but it was clean and felt like a great layout. I want to especially note my server was amazing -- she was so attentive, made great recommendations + despite a few very rude customers, she handled herself with such poise - very impressed. The food was OK. The warm bread is a nice plus. I ordered the wedge salad (was average) and a filet with parsley butter. Again, average. I ordered the vegetable as a side which were green beans and onions. Both were super soggy and lacked any seasoning . Overall, average steakhouse -- for me. But I heard others really enjoyed their dinners for what that's worth. The service landed a 5 star but everything else, not so much. read more
