This salad is so fresh that the lettuce has never left the building. They grow it inside!…read more I must be careful. I could become obsessed with Neon Greens. I'm a vegetarian who doesn't love salad... I like salad, and I have loved a few salads, but I'm not thrilled about salads most days. I only had the one big salad. I split it w/ another person. We also split the 2 kinds of biscuits. But oh man. I could get wild about this food. I don't even recall what our salad was called. [Golden] beet something? I'd have it again, but several of the other salads also intrigued me. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can return to Neon Greens tomorrow.

Neon Greens (4176 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110)…read more During a weird time in our lives regarding lettuce, I fully trust the hydroponically grown lettuce here at Neon Greens. Parking is mostly limited to street parking. We came in on a busy Saturday, and while the line was long, it was moving. We reviewed the menu posted on their glass prior to coming in to order. Since we had our dog with us, we made our salads to go. I had the Thai BBQ salad while my guy had the Elote Salad with smoked chicken. We did not add anything extra. The service here was on point. They also ask your level of dressing (light, medium, or heavy). We had medium and also ordered 2 of their Chili Crisp Chewy Cheese Bread, which is reminiscent of Brazilian cheese bread but with a kick. For drinks, we ordered Mexican Coca-Cola and Pineapple Palo Santo kombucha, which is locally made. Everything was perfect, from the balance of ingredients to the taste and crunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating and if sitting indoors, beautiful natural lighting comes in. I cannot wait to order our salads here!

I went with a girlfriend for dinner over a month ago and I'm still thinking about these dumplings…read more The only tiny critique we have, we were there on a Saturday around 730/8, they don't seem to have a good queue system. What I witnessed, was my cell number was typed into what appeared to be a personal cell, as opposed to a wait system, and then we never got called/ texted. We were watching the people in front of us get tables, then we asked if our name got lost, and immediately got sat. After that, 0 comments, food came out at a reasonable time. My eyes kept being drawn to these dumplings, usually I'm a low carb kind of person, so I was leaning towards the kebabs. But these dumplings kept calling my name. The sauce was so good. Creamy with a hint of dill, refreshing, with the savory ground beef inside. I definitely finished my plate and left the rice for leftovers. I can't wait to take my boyfriend back and get the dumplings again! My friend also really enjoyed her shrimp curry, I got to try a taste, the sauce was also delightful.

Our little supper club came in for dinner on Saturday. They do not take reservations but the wait…read morewas worth it. Our party got there a little before 6. We waited around 20-30 minutes to get a table to accommodate the 7 people in our party. We stood around by the entrance while we waited. When we were finally seated, they put us on the second dining room which has a better ambiance and much more quieter than the main dining room. Someone brought us a pitcher of water which fell slightly short of giving all 7 of us full glasses. Some of us ordered their lemonade mix. I had the one with pomegranate which tasted fresh and made in house. We shared 3 different appetizers: babaganoush, hummus and saksuka. They brought us a basket of naan. They were huge and still warm. The only thing I would have asked for would have been that the naans be cut into smaller pieces so people are not touching naans that others will have to eat. Our appetizers were all excellent. The babaganoush, specifically has fantastic flavors. This might have been the best babaganoush I have ever tasted! For my entree, I ordered the lamb kabob served with some dressed rice and salad. Okay, usually I don't care for rice. It's bland and pretty boring but they actually seasoned their rice here so well that I've completely forgotten I was eating rice. The kabob was so flavorful like it has been marinating for a while. The meat was tender and juicy. We didn't do any dessert as we were all very full in the end. At least 4 out of 7 brought home leftovers. My one friend had made a comment about his pilau being larger than his head! Service was good. You pay up front. If you come in with a large party and ask to split the check, they charge $1 per card. We asked to have our bill split 7 ways and then 2, 2, 2 and 1. She said she understood but then did the math wrong anyway. We didn't bother and just paid the even quarter split and my friends refunded me the difference. Other than a few nuisances, it was a great dining experience. No joke, this place has some seriously good eats. And to be honest, I can't wait to come back!

We were pretty seated right away (party of 2.5) next to their beautiful plants and bar. Parking in the area can be a headache, but Songbird does have a small parking lot next door and can be worth trying. Our service was very welcoming and nice! The menu is a bit smaller than most, but I really enjoyed what we ordered. We started off Vanilla Iced Latte, an Iced Hibiscus Tea supplied by the London Tea Room, and waters. They gave my toddler his water in a to-go coffee cup which delighted me because in passing... a small child having his morning coffee lol Our food was great, filling, and delicious: a breakfast sandwich with aged white cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and fried egg, huevos rancheros with housemade chorizo, and a farm toast (french toast with peaches) Lovely breakfast date - I highly recommend!

The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

Sado is hands down my absolute favorite sushi spot in STL!!!! I've always been a fan of sushi, but…read moreafter a trip to Japan, I realized I had never truly experienced quality sushi. One of my favorite places was a small standing sushi restaurant in Tokyo that always had a line out the door. I ended up going about three times during my short stay because I was genuinely afraid I'd never experience sushi that good again. Then I moved here and discovered Sado. It had always been on my list to try, and every single time we go, I'm completely blown away by the experience. Their sushi rolls are good, but the nigiri and sashimi are where they really shine. The fish practically melts in your mouth, and the way they balance the flavors is just chef's kiss. I could honestly cry over how good it is. My boyfriend and I try to come here every chance we get, and at this point, we don't want sushi anywhere else. Sado has completely ruined us for other sushi spots. If it's your first time, my recommendations are: Isaan Hamachi Sake Toro Zuke Sake Madai Garlic Pepper Kanpachi And definitely finish with the Sado Sundae! You will not be disappointed.

We were hanging out with our 15 month old granddaughter for the day and decided to come here for dinner so she could get out of the high chair and move around.

Rockwell Beer Company earns the association honestly. I walk in wary (I don't drink beer, don't like it, and an industrial brewery hugging a busy four-lane street is not my native habitat), I get the sense I need to eat in the corner so people don't discover the non-beer drinker; however, I walked out humming. The reason is the food, sourced through Street Food by Brasas. This is not brewery food that apologizes for itself. Pretzels, wings, both worth ordering again. The pizzas (barbecue, pepperoni) land in that rare category of elevated bar snack. I'd happily return for a table's worth. It's order at the window food service, which is fine for their vibe, but it keeps the environment to a self-service lower warmth environment. We sat outside, which is nice IF you can find some shade on a hot summer evening. 3.9 out of 5 stars The atmosphere isn't built for me, but the kitchen is good enough that I'd get over it to spend an evening with my beer-drinking friends. What would push this higher: a space that compels me the way the plates do.

We first tried them at a Festival of Nations and have been hooked since. They're a flavorful curry and meat dish that can be loved and enjoyed even for those not a fan of heat. One thing to note is that the curried lamb dish IS spicier than the curry chicken since the curries are prepared with different ingredients. I love the curried lamb dish almost more than the mango meatballs. The others in my party had the beef kebabs and the national dish - Qabelli Palau. Both of those were also exceptional! When you walk in, there's several steps to enter the restaurant. Then, you'll be guided up a few more stairs into the dining room and seated at a cozy table. The decor is minimal and traditional. I like how simple everything is. The focus really is on the service and the food. We're regulars here, but I'm just late to reviewing on Yelp.

Little Fox has been on my list for months and I'm so glad I finally got to give it a shot!…read more To start, the exterior is very clean, minimal, and eye-catching with the black & red accents against the brick with a light wooden door inviting you inside. Upon entering, the bar & tables match the door with a light wooden grain, accented by the bare brick wall along with greens, reds, and black fixtures. Despite the upscale, minimalistic vibe, it's still cozy & inviting, especially with the help of the staff. The staff here are definitely a key piece in why this place is amazing. Our server was very helpful in explaining the menu and drinks, and was super attentive to us throughout our dining experience. Because everything on the menus sounded so good, we got stuck a few times and our server gave some great input to help us decide on what to get. The staff create such a friendly & warm vibe that invites you in and helps you feel comfortable. Moving onto the food & drinks, we started by browsing the cocktail and wine menus. Everything sounded so good so we had a tough time deciding what we wanted, but we settled on the Corner Office & the Paradiso, both of which were delicious! The root beer infusion in the Corner Office was a very nice touch and added a unique flavor I don't get to taste with bourbon very often. The menu leans heavily towards small plates and shareable large plates, similar to a tapas-style restaurant. We were pretty torn on what to get, and as mentioned earlier, our server gave us some great input on what we may like given our palates. With her help, we started with the Crispy Artichokes, Crispy Green Tomatoes, and Carne Cruda. We were pretty excited about the Crispy Artichokes, but were somewhat disappointed as they were pretty bland, though the sauce helped a bit. The Crispy Green Tomatoes were probably our favorite as the flavor, texture, and basil yogurt sauce all meshed together incredibly well! In addition, the crispy green tomatoes were garnished with yellow & red pepper slices which added an eye-catching pop of color to the dish. Lastly, the Carne Cruda was a new one for us as we haven't had beef tartare before, so while we were hesitant going into it, we were pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor of the beef complimented by the mustard seed. Our only gripe was that the chips they serve with the beef tartare were incredibly salty, and while I understand that the salty crunch is crucial for the dish, the salt overwhelmed the flavor of everything else and made it hard to enjoy which was unfortunate. For the larger plate, we ultimately decided to split the Pork Chop. Normally, I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but the 'nduja marinade was flavorful without being overpowering and complimented both the pork as well as the corn polenta perfectly. We were happily surprised with how good the dish was, with the polenta really being the star for us. To finish things off, I ordered a dessert cocktail that I can't quite recall the name of. It was a mix of whiskey with a coconut cream and a few other add-ins, I believe. Regardless, it was one of my favorites and was a nice way to end our experience at Little Fox. Overall, we were surprised in some areas (the vibe & cocktails especially) and a little underwhelmed in others (namely the artichokes & the saltiness of the chips with the tartare). Maybe I hyped it up in my mind too much, but the food wasn't quite as show-stopping as I was hoping. At the end of the day, though, I really enjoyed the experience and will likely return in the future.
