My husband surprised me with a trip to the Tenderloin Room for one of our Friday night dinners and it was a delight. He doesn't like steak so I know the trip was solely for my benefit. First of all, the place is classy that I was too embarrassed to take photos and will have to rely on words alone to describe my dining experience. We had a 6pm reservation and we were seated promptly at a corner table. The place has a romantic vibe and the noise level was low. Perfect for when you want to dine in peace. Our waitee came over shortly to take our drink orders. They gave us 2 different menu versions as mine didn't have the prices but his did. I had a glass of cabernet and my husband had a nice cocktail to start. We shared the crab cake (pan seared, with citrus salad, lemon remulade and pickeld red onions. My husband also got the French onion soup because he likes French onion soup and he said it was great. The crab cakes were delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite! I had the ribeye prepared medium rare and my husband had the salmon. We also ordered the brussel sprouts and creamed spinach sides to share which were all lovely and well seasoned. My steak was prepared the way I asked for it to be and our dinner proceeded smoothly. Our waiter came and checked on us regularly to make sure we were well tended to and got us another round of drinks. I was unfortunately too full for dessert which is unusual as I always try to have dessert on Friday nights. However, getting full on a fantastic meal was not something I regretted. And I had leftovers for the weekend as well! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Tenderloin Room except that I cannot wait to return and have more of their delicious steak! read more

Amazing restaurant. My wife and I were staying at the Chase, so we decided to try this place. First impressions...first rate bar. Great bourbon selection. My wife really enjoyed her martini. Once we finished our cocktails, we then made our way into the main dining room, where we were greeted by a lovely server who welcomed us and explained the specials. We decided to go with the watermelon/tomato/feta salad. It was delicious! We then tried the French Onion Soup. I swear it rivaled The Golden Steer in flavor. Really nice. We both decided to go with the Pepperloin. I had mine medium rare, my wife had hers well done. Both were perfectly prepared. So tender . We had a number of sides, but the Brussels sprouts were my favorite. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an intimate evening. We will definitely be back. read more

First time eating here was last Saturday night with my SO. Brian was our server and he gave us impeccable service. All other staff we interacted with were also friendly and attentive. SO is gluten free. Brian was careful to check the ingredients on anything we were curious about. We shared the crab and artichoke dip, whipped feta app, little gem salad, salmon, and tenderloin with green beans and mashed potatoes. SO I had vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup for dessert. Our experience was on point throughout the entire meal and the food was delicious! It had a really nice Saturday night vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Alright, someone remind me why I keep sleeping on our St. Louis staples? Because The Tenderloin Room at the Chase Park Plaza just woke me all the way up. Now, let me set the scene: parking? Yeah, good luck. Unless you enjoy circling the block like you're training for NASCAR, just surrender to the valet and call it a day. Totally worth it. Step inside, and bam -- those stained glass windows in the bar area? Gorgeous. Like, "Am I supposed to be sipping a cocktail or quietly admiring art?" levels of stunning. We kicked things off with the crab dip because, obviously. It was creamy & dreamy, and the kind of starter that makes you realize you're in for a night of gluttony. Then came the surf and turf, my personal teamwork challenge since I'm not about that flesh life. My friend took on the steak like a champ, and I handled the seafood side of things. Sharing is caring, right? We added fingerlings to round it out, and oh, let me tell you, those potatoes were crispy little golden nuggets of perfection. And the bread and butter? TO. DIE. FOR. I'm talking "cancel your main course and just live off this bread basket" levels of good. Moral of the story: I need to stop underestimating the gems in my own backyard. read more

Wait staff was stellar. Food was top notch. Stand outs were beef carpaccio and salmon. We were offered the additional accouterments for my fingerling potatoes. Ambience was nice. Real candles. Easy to access as we stayed at the hotel on premises. Overall we were very pleased. Lots of patrons due to health care conference. Very attentive waitstaff. Water always refilled in a timely manner read more

This was my second visit to the Tenderloin Room and it was disappointing at best. While their remodel from several years ago is well done, it was the only improvement since my last visit. We had reservations for 8 for a special occasion dinner. Our server was friendly, but mentioned he was hosting and serving which was apparent as the evening went on. The serving of the food and drinks was chaotic. We still had the bulky menus on the table as we were trying to enjoy appetizers. As our food came out there were still empty soup bowls and appetizer plates that weren't removed. Water glasses were left unfilled and the food was less than lukewarm and underwhelming when delivered. My in laws decided to get the dessert that was offered for their anniversary. My father-in-law misunderstood that 1 would be free (which wasn't a problem), but a key lime parfait was delivered instead of a hot fudge sundae. Because there were large gaps between check ins from our server, he ate it without complaint. I've always felt the Tenderloin Room was an iconic St. Louis staple, but now I wouldn't recommend it to others after this experience. Neither the overall experience nor food made it worthy of the reputation or the price tag. read more

I am in disbelief and so sad by my experience this evening. I come here quite often. I stay at this hotel quite often everything about this hotel is beautiful. It is one of my most favorite places to stay. I loved everything about it and I only eat at the tenderloin room. I'm used to find dining. I'd look forward to my visit here for a week and knew exactly what I was going to order the cowboy ribeye, the salted baked potato of the mushrooms and a glass of wine or chill when approached the bar. There was a girl eating her salad with her phone on full video and full volume, so I made sure to sit as far away as possible. There were two other people in the bar, so a total of four of us, the bartender never took my order. I continue to look at the girl and look at the bartender, thinking quietly to myself. This cannot be happening in a fine dining establishment. This is a steakhouse not Hooters or Chick-fil-A. Is that quietly for 10 minutes listening to this woman speaking to whomever on full volume. I got up and quietly removed myself. I asked for the manager and I asked him to step outside with me. I told him of my experience in his response was "oh I just asked her to turn it down." I was filled with dismay. He asked her to turn it down???????????? First of all the bartender should've nipped it in the bud and asked her to turn it off. Secondly, since the bartender did not, the manager should've insisted that she turned it off. This is a fine dining establishment. This is ruined my experience of this restaurant and this hotel as a whole. I hope it was worth the $14 they made off this girl versus the $180 I was about to spend on my ribeye, baked potato, mushrooms, French onion soup and two glasses of wine I get that low end is the culture Dijour that we are in, but I do not expect it in a fine dining establishment. It is extremely inappropriate and the staff should have handled it. Therefore, this evening, I will not be having dinner because of this experience and I will make sure to tell everyone I meet. I deal with 1000 people a day. PSA: it is INAPPROPRIATE to have your phone on speaker or video & speaker in public. #NEVERAGAIN read more

I took my husband here for his birthday. Neither of us had ever dined here, even though it's been around for years. We were seated promptly, and the first thing we noticed was how noisy it was! It was not the nice quiet dinner for two we had in mind. Our server was lovely and did her best to take care of us. Our food was just ok - my filet was overdone, unfortunately, and the green beans were lukewarm. The lobster tail was good. For the price point of this restaurant, the food and ambiance did not deliver. read more

I had never heard of the Tenderloin Room until recently reading a food article, and was extremely impressed. One of the best steaks I've ever had - this is now on the top of my list for steakhouses in St. Louis! Tried: crab cakes, mocktail, and NY Strip Loved: all the flavor. The butter with the bread was fantastic, the crab cakes had an amazing sauce top off the flavor, and the steak with the butter was perfectly grilled with some char and amazing flavor with or without their amazing steak sauce. The mocktail included a shrub that gave it an amazing flavor that tasted like alcohol without the effects. I'm a fan! Disliked: the size of the crab cakes, felt a bit small for the price but understandable read more

I had tried this place a few months ago but came back to celebrate a birthday. This place did not disappoint a 2nd time around either. We ordered the Ribeye and the Salmon. Both dishes were charred to perfection. The salmon had a perfectly charred skin and came with mashed potatoes and broccolini. For the sides, we ordered the creamed spinach and mushrooms. The sides were delicious too! They have an excellent cocktail list and an expansive wine list to choose from. They have a special smoked old fashioned which comes to the table encased in smoke. Their bread rolls are glorious as well! Highly recommend it. For dessert we had a chocolate ganache cake with blackberry ice cream. Our server was very polite and accommodative. She ensured she checked on us regularly. For parking, they have street parking or you can park at the hotel and get your ticket validated at the restaurant. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a night in at the Chase Park Plaza and a dinner at the Tenderloin Room for my birthday and this was truly phenomenal! Since it's included in the hotel, we didn't have to go out in the cold and rain which was so nice. But we could still dress up and feel like we were on an adventure with a true steakhouse at our fingertips. I enjoyed the New York Strip and he had the Filet Mignon. Both were tender and delicious! We also enjoyed some lemon martinis, house rolls, mashed potatoes and cream corn. Our server, Cyndi, was so kind and was clearly working hard on a busy Saturday night. Even through her hustle she made sure to make my birthday special and come by to check in when she could. 10/10 would visit again! read more

Excellent food and service. Very comfortable environment The Tenderloin room is owner their steaks which are superb. That being said, all dishes are amazing. The chicken and pork chop are excellent along with the ancillary items such as the mashed potatoes, seafood dip, and Brussel sprouts read more

What an amazing hidden little gem! This place was phenomenal. The layout was so spectacular and the seating was so clean. The dark wood inside is so pretty. I went into a food coma just after the bread with honey butter. I loved everything that I had tried. I couldn't eat everything and was so full after apps but it made a great lunch for the day after. The service was the best and our server was so fun. He made our experience even better. I highly highly highly recommend the Tenderloin house and I will most definitely be back soon! Bread butter: amazing so phenomenal Seafood dip: very tasty but there is provel if that isn't your vibe Smoked salmon app: tasty, can't go wrong with cream cheese capers and salmon. Brussel sprouts: so tasty and savory Mashed potatoes: the most tasty I've had, so much flavor and so filling Salmon: a REAL piece of salmon my goodness. I rarely get a good sized piece of salmon when I go out and this was such a tasty sight. Normally I would receive half of this but truly so happy to see and taste this dish. It was the best! read more

I made the reservation to eat at the bar. But when we arrived, my wife noticed the terrific ambiance and asked if we could get a table instead. The hostess obliged, but sadly, she sat us in the very worst table in the restaurant... in an isolated alcove that faces the kitchen... with bench seats. It was so bad, that we asked to get our seats back at the bar. Still, our steak was very good. The onion soup was good, but not served hot. I was also disappointed with the cream spinach... it had some sort of cracker or crumbly filling that I didn't understand... was not at all tasty. The bartender who served us was very nice and attentive read more

The food is amazing. I met a friend at the bar for drinks and a snack and I am committed to returning for a full dinner! The service was fun and friendly!!! The space is a family owned space in a great location, inside the Chase! Pricey but worth it!!! Definitely returning!! read more

This place has been on my list for YEARS now! I finally found the perfect excuse to come here and splurge on a fantastic meal. I came a little early before our dinner reservations to enjoy the bar and have a nice cocktail. The bartender was absolutely delightful (I wish I remembered her name!) and helped me choose the perfect control to start off the night. My friends had arrived and we were quickly seated. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was top notch! Our waiter told us they redecorated during COVID hoping to bring in new guests and not just guests of the hotel. Our server was hilarious and knew the menu like the back of his hand. We ordered the smoked salmon and seafood dip to start and they flavors were unmatched. I ordered the house filet and Brussels sprouts to share and my girlfriends ordered the Salmon, Scallops and prosciutto as their meals. The table was silent for a few minutes which is rare for our group because we were all enjoying our meals so much. The waiter recommended the sundae and we weren't too sure about it until we had our first bite. WOW! Homemade ice cream with some rush flavor beyond what we were expecting. The whole meal was an amazing experience and I will say it was mostly because of our waiter. The food and drinks were phenomenal but he made us feel like family and kept us laughing and grinning from ear to ear. What an amazing nigh! read more

"You can never go home again" My husband and I dined at the Tenderloin Room last night and it was extremely underwhelming. We were married at the Starlight Roof of the Chase Park Plaza 43 years ago and decided to relive some memories. What a mistake! They claim to provide diners with a memorable evening, and it was... But not a good one. We went with friends who were also celebrating their anniversary on the same night. There were six of us. Our server looked very polished, but when it came to being attentive it was a very sloppy evening. She didn't bring around the chilled appetizer cart, so we asked about it and she then begrudgingly brought it by our table. After we had ordered salads, we asked if there were any specials for the evening. She then told us there was a Burrata appetizer special that she never would have told us about if we hadn't we asked. The steaks were fine, but very ordinary. The pistachio sauce that came with my scallops was cold. The sides that we had ordered were not served until after we waited so long we had to ask about those, also. My favorite, creamed spinach is no longer on the menu. When making the reservation we were asked if we were celebrating an occasion. Dessert for our anniversary was not even offered. Although the conversation and the company was delightful, we will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Some coworkers and I attended the tenderloin room to celebrate one of our managers being in town. Overall, the food was good, but for the price, I feel as though it should have been great. It wasn't bad, just nothing special that I haven't had before. The Pepperloin a La Tenderloin was a beautiful cut of meat, but I didn't feel like it had as much flavor as described. The mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and Brussel sprouts were my sides and they were really good and flavorful- but I'm not going to the tenderloin room for the sides if that makes sense. The cheesecake was good, but also just basic cheesecake, nothing too special. Overall, for the price, I was underwhelmed. The service was average, the food was average, and the ambiance was a nicer than a normal hotel restaurant, but I wore slacks and a shirt and didn't feel under or over dressed. read more

Definitely a special occasion restaurant. The atmosphere is gorgeous and feels high-class. You can definitely dress up for dinner here. White tablecloths, dim lighting, nicely dressed staff. Very cool lighting fixtures. My 4 stars are definitely made by the wait staff. They were awesome. Attentive, friendly, always there to fill your water and fold your napkin when you get up. Knowledgeable about the menu items. The food was okay. I am a vegetarian, and this is more known for its steaks and meat dishes, so take that as you will. I got the mushroom risotto and again it was just okay. A little...salty? Tough to put my finger on what was wrong, but it tasted off in some way. I thought the rolls were dry and the dessert was fine (I had cheesecake) but kind of plain. Cocktails were good, but there is no cocktail menu so you really have to know exactly what you want. read more

The meal was ok and so was the service. They don't handle food allergies very well. I started with the Senate Bean Soup and it was quite tasty. I ordered the 10oz fillet and I added the Bleu Cheese Crust enhancement and I asked for it to be cooked medium rare. The bleu cheese crust was far from a crust but a melting of bleu cheese on the fillet. My fillet was cooked medium on one half and medium well on the other. Too much grilling reduced the juiciness of the meat. My side dish was the twice baked garlic mash potatoes. The garlic mash potatoes were very rich. They added a lot of sour cream which I wasn't expecting. Overall the meal and service left a lot to be desired. I used the valet parking and the restaurant validates valet parking for free. read more

Impromptu dinner for my 50th birthday tonight. I had not been here since they reopened. I used to visit frequently with my father years ago. Loved the gray velvet booths that spanned the length of both walls, with large round private booths in the two corners flanking the huge fireplace. Very comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the green pea horseradish hummus, the 24oz porterhouse, and the twice-baked mashed potatoes to share. Everything was delicious. I loved their "house steak sauce" which must have been au Poivre. It was so delicious, I did not touch the Béarnaise sauce I had ordered. I was wished happy birthday multiple times and gifted my choice of desserts. Ryan did an excellent job serving us. He knew the menu well and offered suggestions we really enjoyed. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return. read more

Fantastic experience. Hidden gem inside the Chase Park plaza. Beautiful stained glass windows inside the bar. We made reservations on Open Table and we're immediately seated. The restaurant was quiet and romantic. The service was superb. Our food came out quickly and was perfect. We both had steak, split creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes. Everything was stellar. To start we had the seafood dip with bread and it was excellent. Great place to get dressed up and go for a date or special occasion! read more

I really enjoyed the music and ambience. Very nice! Our waitress was professional and helpful. However, my 52 dollar scallop dish did not come with a creamy herb sauce or the chimichurri sauce the waitress indicated. I was confused regarding the sauce but both sounded great. The dish was sautéed scallops in oil or butter on top of a couple of fingerling potatoes. There was no detectable herbs or sauces to make the dish special or make it stand out and they were overcooked. Too pricy for an average no effort dish. The appetizer sides we ordered were ok too. They come out with a cart with cold shrimp on it, smoked salmon and some sort of seafood salad. It's not a particularly attractive presentation. We tried the highly touted smoked salmon and it was good but not great. The food was disappointing at the price point and we much preferred eating at The Preston. Much better food and value. But the tenderloin room has the ambiance! read more

I was in town for work so we took the team out for a yummy dinner! There were 10 of us and we did make a reservation. We were greater & seated with no real enthusiasm. Then our waitress came to take drink orders and seemed unhappy to be there. The entire dinner was blah, food was ok but not amazing especially for the price and our waitress never smiled. O ordered filet surf & turf and the lobster tail has zero flavor. We were a big group but friendly and not high maintenance. There are so many great restaurants in STL and sadly this is not one of them. read more

We had a lovely time at the Tenderloin Room last night. The ambiance is dark and intimate, different areas that allow for a sit down dinner or there's space at the bar. I started off with the Smoked Old Fashioned which came in a lovely Booker's box. It was presented beautifully and tasted amazing...super smoky,warm and so comforting on a cold January night! We had the Crab cakes, beef carpaccio and shrimp cocktail for starters. The beef carpaccio I think was a little overpowered by the mustard seeds, still delicious, but I would've liked more flavor. The shrimp cocktail was fantastic!! The presentation I'll say was just a little awkward in my opinion because it was difficult to dip the shrimp in the cocktail sauce on the plate. My filet was so incredibly tender and delicious. I ordered the horseradish sauce and it was a lovely compliment to my steak and my garlic mashed potatoes. I highly recommend asking for the Espresso Martini before ordering your dessert so they can prepare the espresso ahead of time! We tried all three desserts for the table and I did like the carrot cake the most. I will say I think the desserts looked and tasted like they were pre-made which was a little disappointing especially for the price point you pay here. The desserts are delicious, just disappointing they don't maybe collaborate with a local bakery at least to add more value and a homemade feel to their dessert options. Our wait staff was so incredibly nice and accommodating. They were very attentive and helpful at any point in time and never left us needing anything. Beau was a fantastic waiter!! All in all I'd definitely recommend a visit to the Tenderloin Room if you're looking for a solid Steakhouse in St. Louis. read more

Had a work related dinner there on a Sunday evening. Not super busy, but not empty either. First time I had been there. Cool old school steakhouse vibe; yet also had a contemporary feel as well. Food was outstanding and service was equally great. Had shrimp cocktail, tenderloin bits wrapped in bacon, and the Ribeye (rare). Hard sear on outside and perfectly rare inside. House Old Fashioned and Chianti was excellent. My wife had the Salmon and a Sauvignon Blanc, both of which were to her liking. Would totally go back, esp for a special occasion. read more

This was a 4.5 star restaurant before the pandemic, right after it reopened the reviewers say there were some bumps, but now it is back to its normal excellence. Expensive, quiet, elegant, with great food. There is a shell fish cart to order from, has been for 60 years. It isn't hard to imagine that this restaurant hasn't changed much since it opened. Hosting movie stars, royality and couples on their anniversaries through the years. It provides a quiet, intimate, conversational table experience. read more

I know I was just here and left a review, but I love this place. The Tenderloin Room is located in the Chase Park Plaza although independently owned. If you want to impress your lady (check the prices before hand) then bring her here. We always come here when we have a hankering for a tasty fresh greek salad. We don't know why this salad is so special, but we both love it. After the salad, I chose a plain burger with a twice baked potato. He chose a cup of the senate bean soup and the beef tenderloin tips. I'm pretty sure we almost always get the same thing whenever we come here. You know why? Because it's delicious. Why change something if it isn't broken. We also split a crème brulee that was outstanding. Would I come back here? Yes, you can find me at the bar. And that's the way it is. read more

3.5-4 stars 4 is rounded up because of the staff. Our server was wonderful and even recommended a wine based on us wanting to try wine outside of the US but didn't know what to try. (BTW ask for the wine list not just what you see on the menu.) So great service. Four stars for the atmosphere. The three stars go to the food. It really wasn't anything spectacular for the price which was really disappointing because I wanted to love this place. But the food was average. read more
