Al's RestaurantSUPERB!Professional wait staff. Food prepared to perfection. The ambiance of a high class fine dining establishment of which it is. Runs like a finely tuned Swiss watch. For the money you spend and the value you receive, will you will not find an overall better restaurant that does everything right anywhere else. Highly recommend.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAL'S A ST LOUIS LANDMARKThe next time you go out to dinner, you need to go to Al's in downtown St louis. Al's is located just east of the Ram's football stadium, a few blocks north of the Arch and a short walk north of the Lumiere Casino and the Four Seasons Hotel. The food and service are outstanding and you will not leave hungary. The wait staff are dressed in tuxedos giving Al's that special touch of a first class fine dining establishment. The restaurant has been at the same location since 1925 and is still owned and operated by the 3rd and 4th generations of the original family making it one of St Louis's most treasured landmarks. Try it the next time you are in Downtown St Louis, you will be glad you did!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMHalf Off Wine WedndesdaysWent to Al's on wine Wednesday where my bottle of wine was half off. Really enjoyed the service, food and atmosphere. Serving portions are large so you always have some left overs for lunch or dinnner the next day. Definitely the best Steak and Seafood Restaurant St Louis has to offer. Prices are lower than the chain Steakhouses and the service at Al's is tableside. Classic oak wood walls and high back leather chairs and a riverboat bar like no other you have ever seen. A must restaurant to go to if you like Steak or Seafood.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMAl's Restaurant & Bar - A Must!Love the ambiance of this historic restaurant and of course the food and service are the best anywhere. Arrived early enough to enjoy their T-Rav Tuesday special in the bar before dinner. Everyone should experience this bar, besides the great drinks and bar appetizers, it has to be one of the coolest bars around. There is so much back story and history to this place, it just enhances the overall dining experience. The steaks and oversize lobster tails will keep me coming back time and time again.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMSteak & Lobster #1Really a great evening. Steak and lobster was outstanding - no where in St Louis can you find the menu selections and caliber of food and service as at Al's. Crab cakes and escargot were absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly and professional and have a wealth of knowledge. Hats off to the chefs for their consistent excellence. Can't wait to return.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSimply the best restaurantSimply the best restaurant St. Louis has to offer. Not an empty table in the place tonight. The atmoshere was vivacious. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. The lobster bisque soup was the best that I have ever had. My New York Strip was big, tender and delicious. I also received a house salad with my dinner at no extra charge! You also receive table side service at Al's a lost art among the fine dining restaurant industry. Just another value added service that separates Al's from the rest. Can't wait to go back.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWONDERFUL EVENING AT AL'SHad a wonderful evening at Al's. The ambiance (especially the bar!), the service and the food were all fantastic. A must go to restaurant.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food, Excellent ServiceIt was wine Wednesday, so I got my bottle of wine for half price. The restaurant was very busy tonight and for a busy night my service was excellent. My steak and lobster was cooked to perfection. After dinner I had a drink in the river boat lounge. It is the most interesting lounge you will ever see. The mural depicting the St. Louis river front and steamboats going down the great Mississippi river back in the late 1800's is amazing. If you like great food and service and you have never been to Al's you really should give it a try.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThought the restaurant wasThought the restaurant was authentic and made me feel like i was somewhere else.

Very accommodating for food allergies and very professional and personable.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a wonderful dinner atHad a wonderful dinner at Al's. The server was very attentive and the food was outstanding. The lobster bisque was the best I have had by far, it had a lot of lobster in it. My entrée was cooked to perfection. I had a petite filet mignion. My overall dining experience was superb and I can't wait to go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for a special occasion.The staff was attentive without being overbearing. The selection of steaks and fish are extensive along with options for preparation. It's a shame the neighbor hood it's located at comes across as desolate, but once inside that is quickly forgotten. The attention to detail by the service is outstanding. I'll definitely return.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat, superb dining.Great, superb dining. Ran into some friends in the bar (which by the way is really unique, cool & historical all in one) and we decided to dine together. Had a great evening. We appreciate that Al's is upbeat, yet the table feels private and you can actually hear your conversation. Harold made an unbelievable Caesar salad at the table - nothing premade at Al's. Steaks were top-notch, pasta & vegetables cooked exactly right. Our friends had pre-ordered chocolate souffles - what a grand dessert and oh so delicious. Al's is consistently 5 stars!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a wonderful dinner atHad a wonderful dinner at Al's. The food was outstanding and the friendly staff made me feel right at home. It was quite a lively dining experience, I can't wait to go back.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAl's defines Fine Dining.Al's defines Fine Dining. Food is incredible, filet so tender you can cut it with a fork. We started with crab cakes with a mango chili peper sauce. The seabass with shrimp sauce was light and flakey and flavorful. Our sides of spinach augratin and Italian potatoes were equally tastey. We shared a strawberry shortcake to finish the evening. Al's still pays attention to the details; the food and service were excellent. Portions are very generous and the prices, while not cheap, are not out of line and actually reasonable for the quality and quantity. Also, love their bar, nothing like it anywhere.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMCoolest Bar/Lounge in St. LouisWhat a great dining experience! Had cocktails first in the lounge - Al's has one of the coolest bars/lounges I have ever seen. Dinner was fantastic and our waiters were perfectly attentive. Finished the night back in the bar for brandy alexanders, of course delicious. Al's delivers the full package for a wonderful evening.2/13/2013 12:00:00 AMClassic - ElegantClassic, elegant superb dining. The consistent quality and attention to detail is a testiment to the experienced staff. Nothing more elegant and warming on a cold night like their ultra rich lobster bisque. It is the best I've had anywhere. My sea bass was delicious as was my husband's veal chop with truffle sauce. It happened to be their Wine Wednesday so that was an added bonus to the evening. We sipped on Irish coffee to finish the night. Can't wait to return.2/6/2013 12:00:00 AMTop-NotchEnjoyable from start to finish - Al's is top-notch, the best! No cookie cutter food or service, Al's is unique and a total gem. I don't know anywhere in St. Louis where you can order Land and Sea customized with Lobster Thermidore. Absolutely delicious! Staff and owners give the attention to detail. Tableside service may be old school to some, but for me, it's dinner and a show!1/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfectionOutstanding evening, the NY strip was perfection. The place was buzzing for the holidays but the owner and her husband made sure to go to every table to greet all the guests. Cheers to this great family-owned instituion.12/28/2012 12:00:00 AMI love this place!Mixed grill was a perfect size and sampling of Al's best.

The food, service and unique history are what keep me coming back - I love it here!12/27/2012 12:00:00 AMMy Favorite Restaurant!Timeless classic that is always on pointe. Outstanding service, food beyond compare (especially the steaks), and just the right mix of liveliness where the art of conversation isn't lost in the usual noise level of most restaurants. Al's is unique and a St Louis original. I love the paintings and romantic feel, the interior is elegant. With such a large menu selection it is always a tasting delight. Can't wait to return - Al's is my favorite restaurant by far!12/22/2012 12:00:00 AMAnother great experience atAnother great experience at Al's.
