I finally checked out Bar Moro after hearing everyone talk about it, and it absolutely lives up to…read morethe buzz. The space feels effortlessly stylish -- low lighting, lively crowd, and that kind of energy where every table looks like they're in on something exciting. I kept it seafood-focused and started with the oysters. They were impeccably fresh, briny, and beautifully presented on ice with the right accompaniments. You could taste the ocean in the best way possible. The tinned fish selection was a fun surprise -- elevated and thoughtfully plated rather than just opening a can and calling it a day. Paired with crusty bread and bright garnishes, it felt intentional and indulgent.

We went to Bar Moro for a special dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was perfect as…read moreit wasn't too crowded, moody dark lighting, intimate, and romantic. Though, the music didn't exactly match the same vibe. It sorta felt like I was in a nightclub in Spain. We thought the food was delicious overall and ordered the branzino, pan con tomate, meatballs, sangria, house salad, and flan for dessert. It seemed each table got some crusty bread for a starter, but we found it a bit odd it didn't come with any oil, butter or something. Each dish was shareable (small plates except the entrees were bigger) which made it a more fun, shared experience, and we got to try several different things before getting full. I'd never had branzino and thought all the dishes were very good and would order all again, but I would go with a different salad choice. The service was good, but not great for the price point. Since it was our first time visiting and several items were in Spanish, I felt the server could have provided a bit more guidance to the menu offerings and concept. Considering the meal for two ended up being well over $100 I was expecting a higher level of service. Overall, I think it's a great little restaurant in Clayton for a special occasion or date night. It's pricey for sure, but I think the menu offerings are unique, and the dark cozy vibe made me feel like I wasn't even in St. Louis.

Before 7pm, our small party of four were almost the only ones in and that was pleasant. The hookahs were not being used and the place was quite comfortable. We ordered a couple of appetizers and enjoyed them. The pita with baked halloumi cheese was very delicious and still so even after it had cooled while we were talking. The spicy potatoes were good though not particularly spicy. And the basket of pita breads were irresistible and yes, super hot! The service was great and the seating is comfortable. My only disappointment is that they had nothing particularly special to drink. No Lebanese wine or even regional imported beer. I was hoping for something different.

Each and every meal was delicious. My favorites? Salmon burger (hold the bun) - the aioli!!! Fire. The Mashed potatoes (shared serving) -- filling. Next time: Coconut curry! Each person loved it and one patron took an extra HOME! The cloud cake didn't make it to the gallery because it was devoured quickly.

Being from the Bay Area in California, I had never heard of toasted ravioli so I added it to my itinerary. I found this place on Yelp and saw that Guy Fieri (another Bay Area native) had featured it on his show so I settled on Anthonino's. I walked over from the Botanical Garden on a Friday afternoon around 12pm so that I could get a better feel of the streets, locals, surrounding shops, and the Hill neighborhood. The area was very calm, clean, safe and had a sense of pride. I enjoyed the sights and sounds throughout the streets and by the time I arrived at the front door, I was super excited to eat. I was seated quickly at the bar and given a menu and water. The bar staff were friendly and pleasant to talk to and also took my order within a few minutes. The restaurant quickly filled up behind me and it was a lively environment. I really appreciated that the TVs had sports shows on (huge sports fan and was in town to visit Busch Stadium) so it gives you something to look at. I ordered the toasted ravioli and a tiramisu. As a solo traveler, I have to limit how much I can order so this was the perfect amount for me. The food was amazing and I wished that I could have tried more plates. The ravioli had great flavors and texture and the tiramisu was so creamy and fresh. I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself. The customer service from all staff members was amazing! Thank you for this experience :)

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.
