After calling in they sent a gentleman to complete a bid. The bidding specialist was friendly, informative, and recommended a general rate electrician appointment. Afterwards, I was called to have an appointment scheduled, and they worked with me on my schedule needs, Monday-Friday scheduling. The electrician they sent out was nice and friendly, and did a fantastic job of replacing my outlets and splitting our breaker box that had been previously wired with too many outlets on individual breakers, and they even labeled our breakers for convenience. Overall J Bathe was friendly, professional, and I'm always happy to work with companies doing right by the unions. Great rates too!

I still can't believe this zoo is free. It's one of the best free attractions I've visited, and…read moreit's absolutely worth spending a few hours here. The zoo is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of exhibits to explore. The animal habitats also felt spacious, and the animals looked healthy, active, and well cared for. I also noticed that not every animal was on exhibit all the time, which I actually see as a positive. It means they have areas where they can get away from visitors and have some privacy, and I really appreciate that. The staff were wonderful too. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and clearly cared about both the animals and the guests. My favorite exhibit was easily the penguins. You get incredibly close to them, and it's such a fun experience watching them waddle around, dive into the water, and zip past underwater like little torpedoes. I could have stood there for ages just watching them. The polar bears were another highlight. Seeing such massive animals swimming and roaming around up close is always impressive, and they had plenty of room to explore. There are so many different animals here that it's easy to spend most of the day wandering from exhibit to exhibit. It never felt rushed, and there was always something new around the corner. Overall, this is a fantastic zoo. Whether you're visiting St. Louis, looking for a family outing, or just want to spend a relaxing afternoon, it's an easy recommendation. I honestly can't believe a zoo of this quality is free.

Before I moved here, the zoo was always on my must-do list when visiting. Now that I live here, we…read moremake an effort to come every few months. It is an accredited zoo and the enclosures are very well maintained. Animals are normally visible, some shy, but that's to be expected. For a free zoo, the size is amazing. There's also tons to do- a train that goes around the zoo, a carousel, and even stingray feeding (my favorite). Food is OK- nothing crazy. Water stations are available and you are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks. Plenty of available restrooms and rest/seating areas all around the zoo. I adore this place. My family member has a membership so we get to ride the train for free. If you're in the city and you skip the zoo, you're seriously missing out!

While I've only ever come here for hair services, I do enjoy my visits here. The place is always clean and organized with friendly and attentive staff. My first visit was so-so but after a year, I found someone I really like. I came to see Danielle for a glass and hair cut. The process took longer than the time allocated on their booking app which apparently has been an issue but Danielle was kind enough to perform my services without rushing through it. I loved the results and cannot wait to come back and have her do my normal highlights and cuts in the future. Perhaps someday, I'll end up getting their other services, too!

Nothing says "I might be high maintenance…read morebut I'm also in a rush" quite like knocking back high-quality oysters and sushi in a freshly remodeled luxury hotel lobby. It's giving sophisticated speed date and I'm here for it. Let's start with the remodel. It's clean, it's shiny, it smells like expensive hand lotion. You'll probably want to Instagram your drink. Or your shoes. Or both. But pro tip, and I cannot stress this enough: grab the seats by the fireplace. Do it. I don't care if it's July. Those seats say "I know what I'm doing." Now to the food. The oysters are slurp-worthy. Briny little ocean hugs. The sushi is legit, considering you're in a lobby. But let's not beat around the spicy tuna ha! the Clayton roll is the moment. Whoever rolled it clearly had divine inspiration or at least watched a lot of Chef's Table. Come for the oysters, stay for the fireplace, and pretend you're on a sushi-fueled power move.
