It's not often that a restaurant can balance an upscale atmosphere with a casual and inviting…read moreambiance, but they did it. The menu, while it gives you an elevated American food vibe, it is approachable and non-pretensious at the same time. Complimentary bread, served in a cast iron dish has a consistency that reminds you of a cross between corn bread and yeast bread. A nice crisp outside and fluffy center. The T-Ravs had a bit of ricotta in the blend which gave it some creaminess. Not being overly hungry, I went with a Ceasar salad, Tater Tot Casserole and Brussel Sprouts. All of it delicious. Needed a bit more dressing on the salad, but the tater tots Casserole was stupendous! Such a comforting dish, too large to eat the whole thing, but delicious the next day. Service reminds you of being at any other 5 star restaurant, everyone was attentive, friendly and worked as a team. A wonderful experience!

The bartender makes a great old fashioned cocktail. It was so smooth. (It wasn't even my drink). They have lots of good wine options too. Meatball appetizer was okay IMO but hubs really liked it. Have to give that bartender a shout out because he was amazing. He did a great job of waiting on a full bar and a very party that came in for happy hour. And he was essentially by himself. No bar back. Sometimes other people did lend a hand but he did the bulk of it. When we sat at our table we also had good service. I again ordered beet salad but then got the gnocchi too. The gnocchi themselves were meh but the sauce was very tasty. The ribeye was very good and cooked just right. Side order of mushrooms were a little disappointing.

It turns out we've been driving past a Kirkwood treasure all this time. This is "upscale-casual" at its finest--professional and refined, but with a neighborhood heart. Service & Logistics The service here is exceptionally polished. From the friendly hosts to our knowledgeable server, everything ran like clockwork. We even had a visit from a gentleman I presume was the owner (likely Bob, who has been at the helm for decades). He didn't just "check-in"--he saw we needed a few items and personally took care of it. Pro Tips: * Reservations: Don't look for them on OpenTable. They use their own dedicated form on their website, which is simple and efficient. * Wednesday Wine: If you can, visit on a Wednesday. They offer half-priced wine bottles with your meal--a fantastic value for their extensive collection. Cocktails & Drinks The bar program here is excellent, and the bartender was friendly and engaging. * White Negroni (4.5/5): Though they may not have had Suze (the drink wasn't perfectly clear), the bartender absolutely nailed the flavor profile and balance. * Barrel-Finished Manhattan (4.5/5): Their use of an in-house barrel finish makes this classically executed cocktail a real standout--highly recommended for whiskey lovers. * Wine: They have an awesome selection. Definitely ask your server for recommendations! The Food: American Fare with a Global Twist * House Salad (4.5/5): You have to try their house dressing--it's a creamy garlic style that reminds me of the classic Mayfair Hotel dressing. It's incredibly tasty and a true St. Louis staple. * Blackened Grouper (4.5/5): As someone who loves Florida grouper, this hit the mark. Lightly blackened with a fresh mango salsa; vibrant and perfectly executed. * Rainbow Trout (4.25/5): The orange tarragon cream sauce is the star. It was perfectly balanced--enough to enhance the fish and rice without being "soupy." * Pilot House Chicken (4.5/5): A delicious, well-seasoned chicken breast. Savory, juicy, and very well-prepared. * Extras (5/5): They start you with lavash crackers and butter, and the hot, fresh rolls are dangerous. They even finish the night with powdered sugar cookies--a classic Sunset 44 touch. Dessert * S'more Cheesecake & Chocolate Martini (4.5/5): We opted for this beautifully executed, unique dessert. It was yummy on its own, but ordering a Chocolate Martini to accompany it was the perfect move. The Vibe: It definitely skews toward a more mature, quiet crowd. It's the perfect place if you actually want to hear the people you're dining with.

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent dining experience at this restaurant. Unfortunately, the food quality and service did not meet the standards I've come to expect from J. Gilbert's. The dishes we received were not prepared well, THE FISH WAS RAW, the food lacked flavor, and overall, it was not worth the price point associated with the establishment. To make matters worse, when I raised my concerns, the management's, TRIPP, response was dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than addressing the issue respectfully, I was met with rudeness and a lack of accountability, which made the entire experience even more unpleasant. I truly value good service and have never been to J. Gilbert's in the past, but this visit left me extremely disappointed. I hope they take this feedback seriously and address both the quality control in the kitchen and the management's approach to customer service. read more

I went here with my wife and extended family over the holidays. They were pretty busy, but the server was not necessarily the best. Very nice...but not the best. The bread was delicious.....It came with some different butters, and was backed with Hickory I think...GOOD! I had a steak which was good as well, but the service was lacking during the meal. The manager was talking to us the whole time trying to make it seem like it was not that long of a wait I guess, but it was too long. He did give us a dessert to split at the end of the meal which was courteous of him, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth about the wait. This was when they were still pretty new so hopefully the service that we received was a fluke. I will go back and give them another try....The Bread!!! read more

My fiancé wanted to try this place after seeing some ads in her email. After a long stroll through the parking lot, we found our way to the restaurant. We were sitting in a booth near the entrance when something hit my head. I tried to steer it, as our waiter approached. My fiancee wanted me to get surf and turf, because that's my favorite. Food was ok. The waiter was quite rude. He felt the need to make inappropriate remarks about my order. I wanted to try my steak, so I decided to take it home. Our waiter ran to grab my fiancee's plate, returned with a paper bag that could fit kitchen utensils and walked away until she was ready for her tip. This is a perfect example of why we don't go out to eat post-pandemic. read more

The benefit was also held to honor the legacy of the restaurant's founder, Kent Taylor. The parking lot at the South Lindbergh location was somewhat difficult to navigate for two reasons: they were busy and there was still a lot of snow on the ground in the St. Louis area. My advice is to get there before the dinner rush hour. Most of my experience was positive except for the table size. If you are a party of one, you can expect to be seated in one of their small booths. The tabletop is cluttered with condiments, menus, and advertisements for specialty drinks like their mocktails. Even though they were busy, my wait for a table was less than five minutes. My server was attentive and acknowledged me within a minute of my being seated. The meal started with rolls that have a honey butter glaze on the outside. They are served with cinnamon butter. The butter itself adds to what would otherwise be an ordinary dinner roll. I ordered water and coffee. Kudos to my server for asking me if I wanted lemon with my water. That hardly ever happens. Coffee was strong, but not bitter. For my first side, I chose a house salad with Caesar dressing. I was informed that all salad dressings are made in-house. The tomatoes were fresh. They used a variety of lettuce, so it wasn't all iceberg lettuce. The croutons had just the right amount of crunch. In addition, the salad had a nice blend of shredded cheese, red cabbage, and carrots. For an appetizer, I ordered fried pickles. They were lightly battered but a little on the salty side. This is something I'm very picky about--I'd rather have other spices like pepper than salt on my food. They were still tasty. When I go back, however, I'll make it a point to order a different appetizer. The fried pickles are served with either a basic ranch dressing or a thousand island-based sauce that has some kick to it. Both are good, but I prefer the latter. I did have ample time to finish my salad before the 12-oz, Fort Worth Ribeye arrived. It was well-marbled and flavorful as advertised. I ordered it medium. My server asked me to check the steak and make sure it was how I wanted it. The steak was somewhat thin, so it's to their credit that it was cooked to perfection. The ribeye comes smothered in mushrooms and onions unless you request it otherwise. I asked for my onions on the side and that turned out to be a wise move. I also ordered a baked potato which was loaded with sour cream, butter, bacon bits, and cheese. I ordered my dessert to go. The server suggested apple pie. It comes with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. It's good, but it's also very sweet. Overall, I had an excellent meal and great service. Now, if they could just work on those small tabletops.

I almost left because I hate the feeling of embarrassment or feeling like I am a bother to others. I told Ethan about our experience and he apologized. He was so soft spoken and seemed genuinely sweet. He gave us recommendations and checked on us frequently. I ordered a steak, however it was not done to my liking. Was overcooked more than I would of like and I actually didnt care for the mushrooms I added to it. I wrestled with the idea of sending it back due to earlier experience. I'm glad I brought it up with Ethan because he actually encouraged me to send it back because "he wanted me to enjoy my meal and have a great time." I'm glad I did, because the replacement was DELICIOUS! It was brought out by the manager and he waited at the table for me to cut into it to make sure it was just right. I'm glad I didn't leave because I ended up having a great time with my family and we all enjoyed our meals. The location is perfect especially if you are out shopping because it is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking!

Three Kings is a gluten free GOLDMINE. I have never seen a gluten free menu as extensive as theirs…read moreand I have been gluten free for over a decade. The best part: it all tastes great. Many places have gluten free options, but Three Kings has great tasting ones! So grateful that I can pop in for a quick, hot, gluten free meal when I am in the area! The servers are always nice and fast and I appreciate that my gluten free food comes out labeled with a little stick. Love you so much, Three Kings!!!

There were several other tables with large parties and the place was noisy with tvs on in the background. Fun place to hang out! Food came out quickly and was delicious. We never had to ask for drink refills and were offered boxes at the end without having to ask. Love coming here!

In my brief stay in St. Louis I came to Tuckers twice. On my first visit, I had their St…read more Louis-style pizza. Thin crust, provel cheese, bacon, sausage, and pepperoni. While it's a steakhouse, they also serve great pizza. I overordered and had leftovers. However, I could not take the leftovers because I was staying at a motel. The next visit, I ordered their "Tucker Burger." More than a 1/2 pound of ground chuck fried on a grill. This burger is my favorite hamburger of all time. Little mustard, mayo, ketchup, onion, and pickle. Served with fries. Jules Winfield sums it up from Pulp Fiction: "That is a tasty burger." The ambiance of Tuckers is of course St. Louis centric. With pictures of old people, I have no idea who they are. Many pictures of all things St. Louis. Service has never been an issue here; you get great service.

This was my first time here for dinner and in general. It was packed from wall to wall. I've heard…read morea lot of good things about this restaurant from friends to family over the years. So, I was happy to finally come in to eat. I had a pleasant experience from the staff to the food, opting for a steak salad. One of my personal favorite meals. The meat was tender and the dressing a house-made Italian. Excited to come back and try something new.

Celebrated my partner's 60th birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! The food…read morewas out of this world (he had filet, I had the pork chop and my stepfather had the medallions). Everything was cooked to perfection. The sides were equally great. All three of us split a piece of the chocolate chip cheesecake for dessert and there are no words to describe the yumminess of that cake!!! William was our waiter and he was amazing! So attentive, kind and accommodating of our special requests. His customer service is top of the line. We will request him again the next time we visit. The young man who bussed our table was delightful as well. Just an all around wonderful evening/dining experience! It was a lovely celebration of a milestone birthday.

I've been wanting to try this place for years. Literally decades. Sunday was my birthday, which…read morealso happens to fall on Father's Day this year. SO called and asked the host if we needed reservations if we were to show up around 820pm. She was sweet and said that would be a perfect because things would probably be calmed down by then and we could easily snag a table. When we arrive at 8:20 and ask for a table for two, the hostess declines and said they're only taking reservations today because of the holiday. SO mention that we spoke to someone on the phone. She was clearly annoyed, but went in the back, came out and reluctantly sat us. They were plenty of open tables. They sat a table of five 20 minutes after us, so they would've been there past close anyway. She sat us at a teeny tiny table in a little stuffy side room that looks like it used to be a porch. It definitely wasn't romantic the way I was picturing this place. Our server was fine, as attentive as we needed him to be. We shared the Cajun bbq shrimp, pork chop, ribeye with bearnaise sauce, zucchini, and potatoes, salads. Overall, the food was good, but nothing compared to what I've heard people rave about over the years, so I was disappointed. I wasn't a fan of the pork chop. For being such a thick pork chop it was dry. The zucchini was slightly undercooked. Nothing really impressed. I'm glad I finally tried it but disappointed that it wasn't what I was hoping for.
