   Nicole was a great servicer and very knowledgeable. It was our first time at Blood and Sand, food and drinks were so good! Unique, yet comforting flavors. Fisco salad is a must. Loved the duck, the elk tenderloin was so good! Drinks were very good and unique as well. Glad we made it to this hidden gem.

   Outstanding cocktail bar and very extensive and fair pricing on their spirits. They will make you anything! Would definitely come back.

   Always a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Paige’s service attentive and engaging. Colton’s “smoked” Manhattans delicious. Jon and Brian’s cooking (elk tenderloin) scrumptious. And our special guest made the evening even more memorable!

   Very disappointed. Open Table showed they took reservations until 10:30, and that they were open until some point later than that. We booked 10:00 because of an earlier event, but were still looking for a nice dinner. When we arrived (around 9:55) we were told they has switched to the bar-food-only menu. No where on Open Table did it say anything about a reduced menu after 10pm. Walking around downtown St Louis is VERY dangerous at night, so walking 6 blocks out of our way to get a hamburger, there would have been a lot of safer options. Then the bill comes. Over $100 for three hamburgers and two drinks (two total, not two per person).

   Apologies for not responding earlier, but we wanted to make sure we fully comprehended what we were reading. So rather than review our hours found in the details section within the OpenTable app, which clearly states dinner ends at 10pm, you then feel you should get the full menu 5 minutes before the end of dinner service? Furthermore, rather than call ahead before walking 6 blocks in a "VERY dangerous" city, or simply grabbing a taxi/uber to get there faster, you decided to risk your lives only to be upset you paid 33 dollars a piece for food/drinks and service you gave 4 and 5 star ratings (respectively as of 4/16/25) in your review? Apologies, but we are simply at a lost how that equates to a 1 star review. That said, we hope you made it back safely to Minneapolis and wish you well.

   In addition to the regular menu, Tuesday is “burger night”! Had an elk burger with provolone cheese, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce and tomato. Excellent! And Colton behind the bar was on his game with a couple of “smoked” Manhattans. Shout out to Paige (our waitress), and as always, Jon (the executive chef), for their hospitality.

   We had great time tonight! That staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about food. Offer plenty of details on the food and drink pairings. Great place for food and cocktail lovers!

   Paige the waitress was great. Good recommendations. The food was outstanding. Drinks, frankly, were somewhat disappointing. I really enjoyed the location, the service and the general feel of the place. I would return.
