    If I could give 10 stars I would. This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants I've been to (and…read moreI'm not from St Louis, just in town visiting!) We stopped by on Friday night for dinner, the plaza it's located in was pretty quiet, the only cars seemed to be for this restaurant. I think it might be hard to find if you're not specifically looking for it. Once inside the decor is so cute though. It's fun and clean but also a little quirky. They have a TV showing animal videos in the main seating area. They have several appetizers to choose from, we opted to go with mozzarella sticks and the burnt ends. The Mozzarella sticks were gooey and a little stringy. They taste slightly more rich than a traditional dairy mozzarella sticks, but I doubt you'll find something that tastes as close to the real thing as here! The burnt ends were made of seitan and they were so delicious. The bbq sauce was very tasty and the seitan was a little charred in places. A decent portion size as well. For our mains my husband tried the tacos which he really liked, and I got the "shrimp" po boy. I think the "shrimp" was made from a mushroom protein of some sort but it looked and tasted eerily similar. I definitely never thought I'd be eating a vegan version of a po boy again and I was thrilled to see it on the menu. To top it off I got the cookies and cream vegan milkshake. Very tasty! I believe it's an oat milk base. I also liked they had some food retail items such as Rebel Cheese Brie. I've been wanting to try that brand for a long time and was excited to be able to order some to go! They also offer some non-vegan items for the meat eaters if you bring any along. I'd probably prefer to see a full vegan menu, but I understand making it easier for others to eat there as well. The staff was very friendly and smiling the whole time. I would happily go back here many days in a row to be able to try all the other items on the menu.

    I was excited to go to the restaurant after trying their burnt ends at a festival. The building…read moreappeared historic, used to be a service station a long time ago but is very nicely revamped. Love the exposed brick and layout. It's pretty small, so I could see it being difficult to get a table during busy times but it was no problem for us in the afternoon. Very cute outdoor patio, though it was much too hot to be out there. Multiple TVs in the room but nothing up too loud or too distracting. Our server was so kind and attentive. She was honest about her recommendations and happy to answer questions. Other staff in the place were nice, too. Food came out in a perfect amount of time. I've been a vegetarian almost my entire life so I've tried a lot of different meat substitutes. I was pleased that they offered real protein-based meat subs (unlike a lot of places who do mainly jackfruit and veggies without significant protein content). They used pea protein, seitan, and soy. I would love to see them play around with tempeh for more variety in texture. I got the brisket which seemed seitan-based. It was very good and well cooked. They used a good quality vegan cheese and mayonnaise for the aioli. Also tried the popcorn chicken which was yummy though could have used a little bit of spice (thinking about example, MorningStar's popcorn chik'n). My partner (non-vegetarian) got the turkey burger and was pleased, too. Got the soft serve for dessert and it was very good, pretty typical vegan soft serve. A little more icy than creamy and plainer than dairy soft-serve, but still good especially with the toppings it came with. I was quite full by our meal and very happy with our lunch experience!

    Of course it is part of a chain, but is still worthwhile stopping into the spot in Kirkwood…read more They're happy hour is daily for a few hours until six or 7 PM, and it is very hard to beat! There is a wide variety of appetizers, pizzas, and drinks on special. It includes items like calamari and flatbread and wings and more. I have gone here a few times with family, with friends, and also with my dog sitting outside on the patio. They have lots of outdoor seating available and even includes happy hour when sitting there too. I have also heard from friends that it is very easy to book a larger group for food and drinks as well. I haven't yet done that myself, but will keep it in mind if needed.

It listed Smirnoff vanilla, Mozart chocolate cream, toasted marshmallow,…read morecream, chocolate, and graham cracker, but I only got the Smirnoff vanilla, chocolate and Mozart chocolate cream. I was missing the graham cracker and the marshmallow, which are the main ingredients and the reason why I ordered the drink. I got a burger, my burger was super salty. I could not finish the burger due to it being overly saturated with salt. The calamari was good. I like the fries, perfectly season and crispy. There were one waitress and a bartender. The bartender seems busy for the most part and I guess he is also our server since he took our order. I have to asked the person that brought me my food for a cup of water. The waitress is for the other end of the room. She seems to be occupied on her phone or spent quite a lot of time taking to another gentleman, not sure who he was.

We were able to get a table on the patio where there's live music. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone playing while we were there. There had been music earlier and there would be some later, but not in the time we were there. Maybe next time! Our server was Anya and she was great! We placed drink orders and then had the tough choice of deciding what we were going to eat. We decided to start with the Alligator Sausage & Shrimp Cheesecake. Sounds weird, but it's delicious! It is in no way a traditional cheesecake. I've added a photo of it, but it was after I had already cut it up. It comes out looking like a piece of pie. I looked at the menu and went to my fave - Shrimp Voodoo Tacos. They were so good! It came with a "side" of Jambalaya. The side was a full dinner portion! In fact, I was so full, I brought the whole serving home and my husband had it for dinner and it filled him up. He got the Fried Oysters. It's a great place for people watching. The last time we were there, a woman walked in with a birdcage and bird. You don't see that every day in a restaurant! The place is just good food, good drinks, and good vibes. We'll definitely be back!

    After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The food- 3 of 4 of us said it was just ok. The other really liked theirs. We had 2 different pastas & 2 different sandwiches. Calabrian carbonara & citrus fettuccine. They were both kinda bland & not much flavor. Large portions. Wagyu reuben & smoked french. The reuben was a hit. The smoked french was too smoky. We had the pumpkin ricotta appetizer. It was pretty tasty. And the caesar was a large portion & decent flavor.
