    The first time I tried to eat here, I was told it would be a 20 minute wait for a party of 2, so we put our names down and left a number but we were never called... We came the next night and spent 10ish minutes waiting for a table. I had the Thai iced tea and the tom yum ramen with shrimp. The Thai tea was super cream heavy, so it wasn't very tea-forward but it was good. The ramen was acidic, and fresh, with a strong lemongrass flavor.

    Received some amazing food via door dash. Very very fresh cuts of sushi, chefs choice, and I absolutely am obsessed with the pork belly bao's and spicy fried rice. Every time I receive food from here via door dash- it is super fresh. SO GOOD!

    Great service, and delicious!

    Great service, and delicious! Would return and try more of the menu. not too busy for lunch

    Oriental Fried Rice

    I love this place so much! My coworkers and I go often because the food is delish but it also accommodates the many food restrictions we have on our team. I tried the oriental fried rice with shrimp and it was so good. Lots of flavor and the lunch portion is huge! I also had crab Rangoon that never miss. Our server was nice and mostly accommodating (she did forget a few things). We went at lunch time on a week day and got right in.

    3.5/5 The vibe of this place was cool kids, dark and moody that's perfect for a chill date night or hang with friends. The service was very quick and friendly. We ordered some thai iced tea, the "Sexy" sushi roll, and chicken pad thai. The thai iced tea was delicious and refreshing-- just enough sweetness. The sushi was had a nice balance of textures and flavors. I think the pad Thai had too much fish sauce, so saltiness was overpowering the dish. Overall a good place for Thai food in downtown STL. Not going to blow your mind BUT will satisfy your craving for Thai food when you need it.

    Perfect for me. I eat a Vegan diet with little or no oil. These folks know how to cook food! I had Pad Garlic and Pepper with tofu. There was little or no oil. Great flavor and great service. Came back and had the same thing the next night! Miso soup to start. A Martini with the Miso. Peace. Sat at bar and watched good looking Sushi being prepared. Next time.

    Chashu Don

    My go to is always either a California rolls, Pad Thai, or fried rice so I tried something new today, Chashu Don. The dish was fresh and flavorful, I was blown away. It was thankfully not drenched in sauce, something I will say their teriyaki chicken is like (just too much sauce imo). I got this and asked for a side of spicy mayo... THE PERFECT COMBINATION! My boyfriend was as always, happy with his curry. Service was fast and friendly. It was New Year's Eve so the ambiance was lively. Love having this restaurant so close to me, I have never had bad service or food!

    The service was quick, cute spot to come to, and the food was delicious. I recommend the edamame (spicy) and crab Rangoon for apps. I got the sen Thai roll which was amazing and my family also enjoyed their dishes - pad Thai, pad garlic pepper, chicken teriyaki. The cocktails and martinis were especially good, will definitely be coming back!!

    Shrimp Rice

    I have really been on a tie cake Lily and was actually invited here for a birthday dinner. I've never even known this place was here so I'm glad that I got to experience it. Upon arrival, they were pretty busy and it is street parking so please be advised the vet. I sat at the bar while waiting for my party to arrive and I tried out there red Lynn house wine, which was very very good and they give you a nice portion as well. For service we had a very large party and I have to come in them for how they handle it. All the food was fresh and everything came out on time. The inside is dimly lit so it's not overly bright but like a perfect evening setting, which is great. They have bar seating as well as as table seating and certain areas of the restaurant that accommodate large groups. As far as drinks, I tried the strawberry lemon drop as well and it was very very good. I love lemon drop where the proportion of alcohol is great and I don't have to have more than one and there's is perfect. All the food and really big portions and everything was hot and fresh. I will definitely be coming back to give it another try.

    Chicken Yellow Curry (Delivery)

    The food came out fast. The pad Thai could use a little more flavor but I asked for mild. The portion was large. Overall no complaints.

    Salmon
    Nosa E.

    There really isn't much for me to say here. The food was okay. Visiting for a conference down the street, and a friend and I decided to try this place out. The food was decent. I got the chashu ramen, which wasn't half bad. I'd like to try something else if I ever visit again. The salmon, I'm told, was good.

    My #1 place to dine. The drunken noodles get me every single time, and the pineapple rice! The wine selection is nice, & they make a good old fashioned. Service has always been great, and I really enjoy the amount of windows in the building that you're able to look out while dining. Ps get the cheesecake roll!

    Amazing sushi, a nice bar, has been there for years on years on years. They got a happy hour and upstairs seating and a ton of good options for alcohol and food. This is an underrated date night excursion that you should keep to yourself and bring your friends. Great downtown location!

    I literally live a 4 minute walk from here and have no idea why it took me this long to check it…read moreout. I took my boyfriend here last night for his 24th birthday celebration, and boy did it exceed every expectation. When we first arrived, we were taken aback by the waterfall feature at the front door. We genuinely thought we were at the wrong entrance. Turns out it was entirely intentional, and in the excitement of the evening, we forgot to ask about the story behind it. A fun little mystery to solve on our next visit. We arrived about 30 minutes early and were welcomed warmly from the moment we walked in. The staff gave us a lovely intimate table with a great view of the restaurant's eclectic decor and designs. The ambiance struck the perfect balance, lively and engaging without being so loud that we could not have a real conversation, which for my partner and me is genuinely one of the most important aspects of a dining experience. Since we both work incredibly busy schedules, this was not only a birthday celebration but our first proper date night in quite a while, and the atmosphere made it feel truly special. The staff even surprised us with a complimentary prosecco for the birthday, something we were absolutely not expecting and deeply appreciated. On the drinks side, although I am not personally a big drinker, my boyfriend loves exploring new spirits and cocktail combinations. The bartenders were fantastic: knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about their recommendations across both wines and spirits. They made the whole experience feel curated rather than transactional. Now, let me tell you about Jelly. Our server Jelly was, without question, the highlight of the entire evening, and that is saying a lot given how spectacular everything else was. I have a severe pineapple allergy, and if you dine out with food allergies, you know the usual routine. The server writes it down, maybe glances at it when the food arrives, and you spend the whole meal quietly hoping for the best. Jelly was on an entirely different level. She went completely above and beyond, meticulously checking every food option and wine pairing to ensure nothing contained pineapple and that there was zero risk of cross contamination. When a wine bottle did not clearly list its ingredients, she did not guess or assume. She looked it up on the internet right then and there to confirm it was safe for me. That gesture might sound simple, but for someone with a severe allergy, it is everything. It communicates that she genuinely cared about my wellbeing, not just about getting through her tables for the night. I felt completely taken care of, safe, and able to relax and enjoy myself without the anxiety that usually accompanies dining out with an allergy. Jelly, if you ever read this: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are exceptional at what you do and an absolute asset to Blood & Sand. And now, the food, which was nothing short of breathtaking. From the presentation, to the pacing and timing, to the extraordinary depth of flavor on every plate, the food at Blood & Sand is spectacular and amazing in the truest sense of both words. My boyfriend and I had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. We had originally hoped for the 10 course, but it was not being offered that evening. No matter, because the 5 course delivered more than enough to leave us completely floored. The evening opened with a palate initiator of carrots, goat cheese, and walnuts. I will be honest, I was not excited. Carrots and goat cheese are genuinely two of my least favorite foods on the planet. But I gave it a try and it was absolutely heavenly. A perfect encapsulation of what this kitchen does: it takes ingredients you think you know and transforms them into something you cannot stop thinking about. My absolute favorites of the evening were the tuna carpaccio, the wagyu flank steak, and the pierogis. Each one was cooked and composed to perfection. Everything melted in my mouth and left me wishing the courses would never end. My one constructive note is on the oyster course. I love oysters and eat them often, so I was genuinely looking forward to this one. The portion, two very small oysters with modest accompaniments of horseradish, a small salsa, and lemon, felt a little light even by tasting menu standards. I would love to see either four oysters at that size or two larger ones. It was gone so quickly and felt slightly out of step with the generosity of every other course. That small note aside, Blood & Sand delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences I have had in a long time. Every single person on that floor, from the bartenders to the host to the incredible Jelly, went above and beyond to make the night comfortable, fun, intimate, and genuinely special. We will absolutely be back, and next time I will not wait so long given that I practically live next door.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    30. The place was pretty empty/ maybe 3 other tables while we were there. (that's a bad sign)…read moreWe originally had reservations for 8 but one person couldn't attend so we arrived with 7. The menu had printed that the 5 course tasting menu was only for parties of 6 or less. We inquired knowing it may not be able to happen since we had 7, but it was worth a try since it was just one more person. The waitress said she would have to ask the chef to see if he could do 7 instead of 6..... she came back to inform us that the chef was not able to accommodate this request. Ok, fine. A rule is a rule, but there were only 3 other tables in there the entire time we dined. I love music and a good vibe but the music was so loud over our table we could hardly hear each other speak. (90s Cranberries at that).... The cocktails and apps were the only good part of the meal, but $25 for one cocktail is a stretch unless I'm in Vegas or St. Barths. All of our main entrees were overly salted- like so salty we all commented how salty each of ours was. I had the pasta. Good flavor and creamy but too salty. No decaf coffee. I've never been to a fine dining restaurant that doesn't have decaf for an after dinner drink. Strange. Then it was time to pay. There was a noted 3% credit card fee. We paid with cash. The waitress attempted to say she didn't think she would have change because "there was no one working that had to cash to break our bills." Really? No one has cash at a restaurant? Must be next door with the decaf coffee and dinner music. The cherry on top that leads me to write a negative review (I am in my 40s and can never recall leaving a negative ereciew) The friend that made the reservation just found a $200 charge to her credit card from this joke of a restaurant. Ends up they charge the card you make your reservation with $25 per person and supposedly take this amount off the bill when you pay... we paid with cash and then they still charge the card. I'm well aware hardly anyone pays with cash anymore, but people still do. Be ready. Everything about this place screams closing in 18 months, poor quality control in the kitchen and no owner/management oversight.

    Hidden Gems in St. Louis -- and darling, the name is not exaggerating…read more I had the absolute pleasure of attending a birthday celebration here and let me tell you... this place is a vibe, a moment, and a whole sparkling experience. The space is intimate, stylish, and perfectly appointed -- the kind of place that feels like you've stumbled into a secret little jewel box in the city. It's cozy in the best possible way, with an atmosphere that invites laughter, celebration, and maybe just a little fabulous mischief. The bartenders? Absolute pros. Warm, welcoming, and clearly masters of their craft. Naturally, I ordered my classic gin and tonic, and it was perfection in a glass -- crisp, balanced, and exactly what a proper G&T should be. I heard from the birthday boy and his wonderful wife that the owners were incredibly accommodating, and you could feel that hospitality throughout the entire evening. Everything felt effortless and welcoming -- the kind of place where people clearly care about creating a great night. And then... the party truly began. We had drag queens serving glamour and joy, music, laughter echoing through the room, and pizza delivered from the birthday boy's favorite local pizza spot that honestly deserves its own standing ovation. If you want to know where that pizza came from, drop a comment -- because it was outrageously good. By the end of the night I couldn't stop thinking: this place really is a Hidden Gem. A perfect little pocket of St. Louis where good drinks, great people, and a bit of fabulous chaos come together. Sparkle-tastic. Gem-tastic. Pure joy. Highly recommend discovering this hidden gem for yourself. -- Big Daddy Tedd Energy

    Still in love with Hidden Gems and everything it has to offer! The bar itself is such a fun spot…read more The décor is playful and whimsical, and the dance floor is always a good time. The upstairs lounge is perfect if you want to hang out with friends or just take a break and rest your feet for a bit. I absolutely love that space and how comfy it is. One of the biggest perks of Hidden Gems is their back room, which allows them to host events and fun pop-up experiences. I've been to a few, and most recently attended the "Taylor Swift: Bejeweled" experience. The space was decked out in all things Taylor, with every era clearly represented. Giant friendship bracelets hung from the ceilings and lined the walls, which was such a fun touch. And of course, there were plenty of photo ops with my close personal bff, Taylor herself! The drink menu was themed to match the eras, with tons of creative options. My friends and I tried several cocktails, along with a few NA options as well. I really appreciate that they offer non-alcoholic drinks as I've been cutting back on alcohol over the past few months, and it's nice to still have fun choices that actually taste good! The Mirrorball was easily my favorite drink of the night. It tasted just like an orange creamsicle and was served in a disco ball...so good and so fun. My last drink of the night was "So Long London," which was almost like a dessert in a glass. Highly recommend ending your night with that one!

We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.
