Southwest Garden Restaurants

Consistently among the best dining experiences in StL. Food, staff, ambiance are all first class, every time.

Beyond Excellent. Casa should have a Michelin Star. It IS that good. Service, cocktails, wine list, menu , quality and presentation and incredibly attentive service. Outstanding from start to finish.

Gitto's never fails to be excellent. My son chose it for his birthday meal. Quinn, our sever, was experienced, attentive and fabulous. We had a bottle from one of our favorite wineries, Orin Swift. Our table had a variety of pastas and mains, all were top notch. It was nice to have house made toasted ravioli versus the frozen ones. Again, another Gitto's touch. In short, a great meal to celebrate a special occasion.

Outstanding in every respect. From the charming host staff to the professional, informed server to the superb food. We will be back many times, I’m sure. I would give Olive & Oak six stars if that were an options. An absolute gem.

If you’re looking for impeccable service paired with an unforgettable dining experience, Nate at 801 Chophouse is the person you need. Our recent visit was elevated to a whole new level of excellence thanks to his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth. We booked the private room to enjoy a night of fine dining while watching WWE—an unconventional pairing that could have been challenging for most servers, but not for Nate. He seamlessly balanced the sophistication of the restaurant with the casual excitement of our group, ensuring every aspect of the experience was flawless. From the moment we sat down, Nate set the tone with his extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list. His recommendation of the Delmonico steak was spot-on—perfectly cooked, rich, and incredibly flavorful. It was the star of the meal. And when it came to the wine, Nate’s pairing suggestions elevated the steak even further, showing his expertise and keen understanding of how to enhance every bite. Nate’s timing was impeccable—our drinks were refilled before we even had to ask, courses arrived without a hitch, and he maintained a perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion, allowing us to fully enjoy both the meal and the entertainment. It’s rare to find a server who not only meets but exceeds every expectation, creating a dining experience you’ll want to relive. Nate is that rare find, and 801 Chophouse is lucky to have him. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a night of luxury, make sure you ask for Nate. And don’t miss out on the Delmonico steak—it’s an absolute must!
