Die besten Bistros in The Loop

The atmosphere was great. Outdoor table in full shade, setting sun, mild temperature and comfortable noise level. A perfect Spring evening dinner in St. Louis. I had cioppino which was “ pale”. There were lots of shrimp and some pieces of fish. There were no clams, mussels or crab meat. There was no significant spice flavor. I could see no specks of green indicating basil, thyme or oregano. I did not sense even a hint of garlic. The chef at the table first sniffed then tasted. Her word was “pale”. Everyone else loved their selection of salmon and others had crab cakes. It seemed especially busy in the bar and the kitchen with long wait times for drinks and our meals. Our server got one of three checks correct on the first pass. We have had good food and service in prior visits and will return.

Great place to be for whatever event you are going to be visiting for. Curious if the entertainment for dance performances will always be in the same spot.

Lovely room, completely empty, but for us. Skeleton serving crew, because we were the only diners. They did their best. Food was average, and acceptable. We were disappointed that this was such a solitary experience. How do they stay in business? This is the second solitary downtown dining situation we have had in the last week.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Seven during Clayton Restaurant Week. The Brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious and the Steak Frites were tender and tasty. Sara took great care of us.
