    Patio
    Autumn R.

    Still a 5 star spot. My girlfriends and I head here nearly every Monday for their happy hour "Martini Monday". I LOVE their Bruschetta and their salmon dip is delicious. My favorite spot is up top on their beautiful patio but I love forward to getting to know their more intimate inside space. If you visit them on a Monday, ask about their discounted Martinis and the featured drink of the week.

    Wine tasting

    Came in on a Sunday after a busy festival in tower grove park and was seated right away. The patio was popping but we chose to sit inside to be in the AC and to be seated right away. The staff was super super nice and answered all of our questions quickly. It did take a little while for our food to come out but when it did it was delicious. We got the bruschetta for two to split and it was a good amount for each. I've come in the past when they've had their free wine tasting on Wednesday nights and that's always fun. I've also really enjoyed getting their world tour charcuterie. I always want to come back!

    This was delicious! Had a wonderful evening with a friend at Sasha's on Shaw. We both enjoyed desserts, espresso martinis, and sangria. This is such a cute, cozy spot for a date night or catching up with friends. I wish I knew our servers name because he was incredible. Highly recommend.

    Grilled Tenderloin Steak

    We have now been here twice and will definitely be making this a spot that we go to frequently. Let me start by saying they have just such an amazing patio set up. They have maybe 20 cute bistro tables out in front of the wine bar/restaurant which is awesome for all these beautiful days that we've been having whether you just wanna grab a cocktail/glass of wine or if you want to eat something. So far, I've tried two of their wines. The first time I came I got the orange goddess wine by the glass and really enjoyed that. The second time we came, I realized they had imported Santorini Greek wine. Which had me jumping in my chair because I love Greek wine so we snagged a bottle of that for the table and actually ended up taking one to go as well, which I found was so cool that they would let you buy a bottle and take it home. Food wise, we love the spinach artichoke dip. The burger is good, I love the mushroom and bacon flatbread, and we tried the steak this last time and it was also tender yummy and delicious. The service is always great on the patio. They always start you off with some waters . We are always seated promptly and never have an issue getting a table outside thus far. overall just a great neighborhood spot definitely give it a try.

    Pita and Hummus

    Goat cheese spread was excellent! I also had a sangria and it was tasty. Service was attentive and warned us when the kitchen was closing so that was nice. I like all the fairy lights inside at night and the patio looks nice for warmer evenings

    Turkey and Appenzeller Sandwich
    Stacey C.

    Sashas on Shaw is a wine bar and restaurant. They serve an assortment of wines and spritzers and have a full menu of food. I ordered their Turkey and Appenzeller Sandwich with tots. The croissant was yummy and their twist on tater tots was unique. I had a time constraint and let the server know and they happily accommodated me by getting my food and bill to me quickly. The staff was very nice and I appreciated their flexibility!

    Sasha's is one of our favorite neighbors! It has a spacious dog-friendly patio, great service, and great food options for vegetarians. My favorite hot dish is the goat cheese, we get it every time!

    Came back to Sasha's to sit on the patio and split a bottle of wine. We got food as well, a flatbread which was good. We brought the pups to sit outside. It was busy, but our service was good. In a previous experience, I was seated inside next to the door, and the waitress was relatively inattentive. It was 7pm on a weeknight. The food and drink were lovely. We split the olives and hummus plate.

    I had never been to Sasha's so my friend, who is a regular, suggested we meet up at this spot. Let! Me! Tell! You! I adored this spot! The ambiance from the time you set foot inside the vibes you get add sexy, chill, and sophisticated! We sat by the warm fireplace on a couch a sat and talked for hours! The espresso martini was the best I have ever had! The apps we ordered (charcuterie board and pita/hummus plate) were just delish! And the cherry on top of this beautiful outing was the FREE wine tasting! We tasted about four different wines and! We gained for each selection and it was very informational! The wine bottles on the wall are a unique and elegant touch. I am not a fancy girl, but it was nice to feel fancy but! Not too fancy, if ya know what I mean! It was still a chill atmosphere!! Highly recommend this spot for sure!

    So they allow dogs on the patio?

    I think I recall water bowls on the patio, so I believe the answer is Yes!

    Is it wheelchair accessible?

    No, the front corner door has steps. The patio is accessible via the sidewalk.

On top of the food, they have a really strong wine selection, which made the experience even better. The overall vibe is polished and elevated without feeling too formal. Service was great, food came out on time, and everything felt intentional. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner spot in St. Louis.

We were greeted by one of the nicest and overwhelmingly insulting people I have ever met. We "had to have been from out of town" because "if you were local you wouldnt have imagined coming here without a reservation." Then we spent the next 10 minutes trying to walk back to our car while having an app explained to us so "you can check for open tables at other places." There were maybe 3 people eating in the entire front area. So out of towner's, dont spend the 5 minutes looking for parking and the 5 minutes walking to this establishment to be treated like some peasant commoner who is sullying their establishment.

The combo of the rich soubise with the vinaigrette gave them a good flavor punch. -short ribs: We both loved the sweet and spicy sauce on the short ribs. The short ribs were thinly sliced and tender. Very tasty. -Cavatelli: This was the standout dish of the night for us. The handmade pasta and summer vegetables were so fresh and had such great flavor. Basically summer in a bowl and a generous portion size. We are both big eaters and 5 small plates felt like a good amount with no leftovers to take home. I will say the tables inside are very close together. So much so that I felt like I was in our neighbor's conversation and it was difficult to hear our own conversation. We did have a lovely evening at Little Fox and we would return for a date night or special occasion.

Even the biscuit had been grilled & was greasy. The falafel had good flavor but they were crispy (maybe a little over done). It was cold in there- maybe because we were sat by the door but i had to keep my coat on. That is not ideal. Also their ceiling is like sprayed with something fluffy? It had a lot of dust bunnies. My friend was holding her hand over her drink afraid of the dust falling down.

Our server (Allie) even had a special treat for us, so we started our night with a champagne toast! She was friendly, attentive and great to talk with. We had a couple of questions that she help answer right away. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we got to sit upstairs away from most of the noise. Now, the food! First, we ordered way too much. We tried the pear and fig flatbread and split a Mayfair salad. The salad was not what we expected but the flatbread was great! Try that if you have the chance! Both of our drinks (the sangria and Sicilian manhattan) were delicious and looked great. Main courses we tried were the smoked pork chop and the cauliflower pasta with grilled chicken. Both had great flavor and were presented well. Not pictured is the flourless chocolate torte that we got to go. This was incredible and super rich!

I loved the generous amount of Parmesan cheese and the crunchy bread crumbs on top. I chose the American Wagyu Coulotte as my main course, and it was a satisfying dish. The sauce accompanying it was flavorful, but I wish I had a little more of it. For dessert, I indulged in the Dark Chocolate Turtle Brownie, which was paired with vanilla bean ice cream. It was a decadent and delicious ending to the meal. However, there were a few minor disappointments. The lighting over our table kept dimming, which was distracting and made it difficult to read the menus. My entrée plate and my friend's dessert plate also had noticeable chips in them which felt fresh and unappetizing. Considering the restaurant's emphasis on plate presentation, it was quite disappointing and a bit of a letdown.

Maybe even a step past well done, and was not edible. My wife's meal was good, but forgettable. The drinks were still good, but the poor food quality was a huge let down. The last part that dampened the mood was where we sat. They have a modest outdoor patio and then seating on the sidewalk along the front. We had put in a reservation for outdoor seating. As we walked up there was one table on the very far side of the sidewalk seating almost into a parking lot. I turned to my wife and said "I hope that isn't us." It was. It was just an awkward spot. It also mean that our server didn't check in with us that much. So overall, great spot for drinks. Really outstanding drinks. For the food though, go check out any of the dozen other establishments nearby that are better.

    This has been on my list for years, so I jumped when my bf said we were going. He made a…read morereservation for 8:45 because he said it's normally packed. We came right on time and were sat immediately. The inside was lively and buzzing. Right after we were sat, our server came to introduce himself and take our drink order. To start, we each go a Caesar salad, we split an order of calamari, and I got the flower power to drink. I was warned before hand that the drink I chose would be an "experience" but that I should enjoy it. An experience would be an understatement. The salad was good and I loved the croutons, although they were a bit tough. The calamari was quite tasty and seasoned well. As for my drink, let's just say I was NOT prepared. The drink itself wasn't the problem but more so the buzz flower that accompanied it. You're supposed to eat the flower first and then drink. It comes with a glass of prosecco as a palate cleanser but I don't feel as though it did much. I'd say that flower kicked in within 15 minutes and ultimately, that's when things took a turn. At first it felt like pop rocks in my mouth and then I started to feel awful. While the chaos was going on, I managed to eat my blackened salmon, which was delicious. The slaw was so-so and I could have done without the beans and rice. All in all, we had a lovely visit aside from the drink. Our server was fantastic, the food was top notch, and I really enjoyed the ambiance.

    Can we do six stars? I have nothing but good things to say about The Drawing Board! The staff is…read morestellar and the food is AMAZING--especially that Medart Burger, a dish with a rich (and kinda greasy) Saint Louis history. Sidewinder Fries are spiral-cut wedges that come with just enough seasoning. The falafel pita is a great vegetarian choice... seriously, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There's always a nice selection of craft beers on tap for about $7/pour, as well as a smattering of AB products and other national brands in cans. Beer is wonderfully cold. The bar is well-stocked--especially with local spirits--and the bartenders here know their stuff, making drinks to order and advising what to try if you ask. I'm usually interested in trying a gin or bourbon I haven't had, and they're quick to make recommendations and talk about what's on the shelf. The Drawing Board has a nice-sized bar area with pool tables, darts, and chalkboards, as well as a cool patio. There's a small parking lot on the east (right side of the building), as well as ample street parking just west of the bar on Oak Hill. If you like pub trivia, drop by on a Thursday and test your knowledge and memory!

    This is a definition of a dive bar vibe but without the bar looking in rough shape. I didn't get to…read moretry the food (not hungry) but supposedly their burgers are fantastic according to my friend who was with me. It's on the smaller side, reminding me of places in my new home of SF, so anticipate seats/tables could fill up quickly. Parking is very limited, I got lucky to get a spot, so on a weekend evening I'd consider ride share otherwise you may be stuck parking blocks away. Beer was reasonably priced at $4-$5 for domestic. There was a group of people playing Magic The Gathering which was intriguing.
