I had an amazing experience at Fennel Cooking Studio and it was an easy 5-star visit…read more The entire experience was thoughtfully put together, from the atmosphere to the hands-on cooking experience. It's such a fun way to learn new techniques, try something different, and enjoy great food in a welcoming environment. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the class easy to follow while still keeping it engaging. Whether you're an experienced cook or just someone who enjoys food, the experience feels approachable and enjoyable. The food we made was delicious, and there's something really satisfying about being able to create a dish yourself and then sit down to enjoy it afterward. It's also a great activity to do with friends, for a date night, or even as a unique way to celebrate an occasion. A fun, memorable experience with great instruction, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for another class.

Fennel is a unique cooking studio. They offer a variety of classes each month, some of which are…read moreseasonal. Some of the classes are in partnership with local restaurants or farms. Their website usually lists the current month and the next month. The classes cost about $100 each (some less, some more) and are limited to 16 people. There is usually one instructor and two assistants. They provide the mise en place, implements, and instruction. You receive a folio of recipes to take home. Over the course of the class you work together to cook the dishes. At the end of class you socialize and eat and you get to take leftovers home. It's a fun activity to do with friends, partners, colleagues, or family members. I have taken the scones class, the pie class, and the mole class. All were great. The studio is clean. The instruction is clear. It's just a fun experience.

Having moved back to STL, I was looking for somewhere new and different to have dinner. Boy, oh boy did The Headless Bat fulfill my needs. It may not be new to STL, but it was new to me and it definitely was different. Dining alone, I entertained myself looking at all the artwork and the decor in general. It all set the mood and lived up to the restaurants name. My cocktail was, Conjurer. It was a variation of a Manhattan with rye. It was served up, my favorite way to drink an adult beverage. The bartender was a skilled mixologist, which surprised me. I wasn't expecting much, considering the bars theme. I am so glad they proved me wrong. I cannot be trusted with an entire pizza. I honestly have no self control and can eat an entire one by myself. So, establishments that offer pizza by the slice really get my attention. Their Born of Fire had many of the toppings I typically put on my pizza, so it was an easy choice. I love me some, pepperoni, jalapeño, pineapple and red peppers as my toppings. Yum - it truly hit the spot. The wings can be ordered, 6 or 12. Since I was having a slice, I went with 6. Their wings are naked (no breading) which is great for low-carb eating. My sauce was, Hot Honey. It gave a mild heat with a sticky sweetness. The serving had 3 flats and 3 drums, a must for me. I really don't like it when they're uneven. Service was attentive and friendly enough. I think they could tell this old man was out of his comfort zone. However, I will be back for more wings, a slice of pizza and another one of the masterfully made cocktails. My visit was proof that sometimes you just need to step out of your box and do it.

We were just about to order the toasted ravioli which are locally noteworthy here. Except that in the introduction and telling about the place, our waitress informed us that Blueberry Hill is also owned by the same people who own Pin Up Bowl across the street. We had been there earlier in the week for a work party and the toasted ravioli there are the same ones that arrive by the same delivery here. So we skipped those. We ordered drinks and found some nice options. I had a tin of a local light beer and that was quite tasty. Looking for something different, we went with the fried cheese balls. Sadly, not that great. Battered and fried, they were not very flavorful and no sharpness to the cheese. Peel off the batter and they look like just the same cheese cubes you can get at the supermarket. So I'd say skip these too. Otherwise, Blueberry Hill is cool. The memorabilia on the walls, the fun games in the next room and don't skip the Duck Room. It's a neat place and maybe on my next visit, something more substantial to eat with our drinks. [Review 439 of 2026 - 508 in Missouri - 25622 overall]

I don't remember what I had on my most recent visit. It may have been only a lemonade; I wasn't feeling well after an ice cream float at Fitz's across the street (lol @ my dietary choices). Blueberry Hill is locally iconic to the point that the place feels borderline touristy on a busy weekend afternoon. However, if you come in the evening during the week, it's much quieter and low-key, and I prefer that vibe. After you order, if it isn't too busy, try to spend a few minutes looking at the walls of photos of celebrities who have visited Blueberry Hill. (At least, I think they've all visited and it isn't a mixture of those folks & photos from founder Joe Edwards' private collection. Even if it were the latter, it still would be fun to look at the photos.)
