"On a Saturday evening a reservation was a must! The food was excellent. Two people with 3 glasses of wine, 1 appetizer, 2 main courses and 2 deserts ran $130 without tip. Next time we will try the 5 course chef meal with the wine pairs."

"We were 30 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic and I called to let Molly the hostess know. I had called earlier to see if I could get a later reservation but they were booked up until 9:00pm. She had told me if we were a few minutes late, we would be OK because they allow about 1 1/2 hour turnaround time for tables. Since we were 30 minutes late, I worried that they would be unable to fit us in, but when we arrived, Molly made sure that we were fit in and put us at ease. We were there for about an hour and never felt rushed. Really liked everything about it!"

"Only two very minor slips in seasoning kept this meal from a perfect rating. Quality of ingredients, preparation, and service nearly impeccable and eons ahead of the majority of fine dining restaurants we have sampled. We tried a Monday night this time to sample the "home-style" menu of Niche, and it was wonderful. At $30/3 courses, a total bargain!"

"Upscale ambiance, nice crowd, a level up from traditional restaurants in the St. Louis area. Food was delicious and while portions were not large, they were appropriate for the type of food served. Limited wine menu, but with some good choices."

"The food was very good...and quite tasty. When I went, they were quite generous, and I received 3 "gifts" from the kitchen: a maple custard with mushrooms (served in an eggshell), a trio of carrots, and a scoop of sorbet to cleanse my palette. These additional items made the meal even more exciting and fun. HOWEVER, perhaps this was done in part because of the very long delay before my actual food arrived. I had been at the restaurant for a full hour before the appetizer I ordered appeared. Thankfully, I got to enjoy the 3 "gifts" while I waited. My favorite item of the evening? The scallop appetizer. In addition to being delicious, it was also very fun to eat. I enjoyed all the garnishes, and way the flavors went together."

"My wife and I were blown away with the flavors evoked from the food by the Chef. We discussed after our meal that the cost of the meal was well worth it. We could not have been more pleased."
