    We live in Columbia, this was the first time trying our new restaurant. We had a very enjoyable meal celebrating a birthday, and plan to become regulars at the restaurant.

    First time dining at Graphite. The service was exceptional. The ambiance was nice. The food was good, but the selection was limited and the prices were too high. Those were downtown St.Louis fine dining prices. Recommend specials and other ways of drawing in people…like discounted weeknight theme dishes.

    Second time visiting for dinner. We were seated on time to our reservation but sat for 15 mins before anyone came to the table to recognize we were seated. Need to have napkin or something under the water glasses as they sweat and made a watery mess on the table

    Our first visit to Graphite for brunch was great! I hate that I can’t remember our server’s name for certain because she was phenomenal. Maybe it was Bailey? She was training a new server named Molly, who was also great. They were attentive, very kind, and made great suggestions. My friends and I enjoyed a carafe of mimosas and yummy breakfast food. The restaurant interior is really pretty, but was very hot in the front area. We were literally sweating indoors. It was very hot outside, but I would have hoped for better AC inside.

    Drinks, service was excellent, food was good but underwhelming, only major complaint is that it took over an hour to get two breakfast plates

    Filet was over cooked and tasteless even with the added mushrooms and Sauce, had to add salt, I never add salt. Room was humid, door was propped open for some reason allowing humidity to rise and flies to enter the dining area. Under staffed, had to ask busboy to get our waitress to process bill. Large variety of bourbons and whiskeys but not my favorite, an 80 proof like Jim Beam.

    The steaks are smothered in sauces and butter to the point that it is hard to taste the steak. My ribeye was half rare half well. Broken silverware and missed items in the order. For a $50 steak price point it does not compete with other places

    It’s wonderful what they’ve done. I love that they’ve keep the “school” vibe in the hallways, and the interior of the restaurant was lovely. The food was amazing, and our server was knowledgeable, friendly, rarely seen, but was suddenly tableside when we needed something. It’s so nice to have an elevated dining experience in our area. I will definitely make return trips!!
