The Broadway Oyster Bar is a locally owned and operated establishment and has been for over 35 years. The Oyster Bar is widely regarded as the premier New Orleans' style restaurant, bar and music venue in the Midwest. BOB, as it is affectionately known by its many fans and friends, is housed in a building that was built in the mid 1840's and is one of the oldest buildings still in daily use within the city of St. Louis. During its colorful history, our building has had many functions including a family home, a boarding house, a Chinese laundry, a record store and a bordello to name a few. These walls have heard and seen it all. Some people feel that the building is haunted by spirits who, occasionally late at night, play good hearted jokes on the staff such as doors suddenly opening or closing or lights going on or off as if by magic. Then again, it just could be because the building is over 170 years old. However, our historic building has just gone through a renovation so we now have two outdoor patios that are covered and heated during cold or rainy weather and an expanded kitchen to better serve you. Our food has won numerous awards and readers' polls for excellence and features some of the most sustainable seafood available such as fresh Gulf and Blue Point oysters, Louisiana crawfish and shrimp, Prince Edward Island mussels, scallops and crabs. Our Cajun and Creole dishes are our versions of many of the traditional Louisiana favorites. If you love New Orleans, you will feel right at home at BOB. BOB offers live music twice a day every night of the week except on Friday when we feature one act for the evening. We present the best local and national touring acts representing a variety of musical genres such as rock, reggae, bluegrass, blues, funk, R&B, roots, and jam, and weshowcase a wide variety of bands visiting from New Orleans. The live music is free up to 8 times per a week. However, for some of the more popular and well known acts, we do charge a cover which typically goes to the bands in order to keep attracting them to the BOB. Broadway Oyster Bar has been referred to by many as a staple of St. Louis and was recently honored by the St. Louis Chapter of the Missouri Restaurant Association as the 2015 Restaurant of the Year. BOB is a great choice for a relaxing dinner, a celebratory party or an opportunity to dance to a great band. As well known food writer, the late Joe Pollack, once wrote, "There is, quite simply, nothing in St. Louis quite like the Broadway Oyster Bar". That line was written over 30 years ago, but it is as true today as it was then. Welcome to the Broadway Oyster Bar Family.

Lorenzo’s features Northern Italian fare with a touch of contemporary flavor. Look to our menu for some of the classics as well as some modern Italian cuisine less prevalent on The Hill. Look forward to experiencing the authentic house-made gnocchi and risottos; or our signature dish, braised Ossobuco; our guests' ever favorite, Chicken Spedini; or a couple of the staff favorites, the Grilled Barramundi or Fabulous Veal Picatta.
At Lorenzo's the atmosphere is classy and laid-back. It is the type of restaurant where you can have a nice business dinner or enjoy a meal with the family.
We offer two beautiful private rooms, The Boardroom, which seats up to 14 or The Chefs Table which seats up to 8. You may choose to enjoy our patio on a beautiful day and savor one of the great Italian wines off our extensive wine menu. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable no matter what meal or day you visit. We look forward to showing you all we can offer at Lorenzo's Trattoria.

    Dinner for our 29th anniversary. We were greeted by the host, told " happy anniversary " and seated promptly. Our server greeted us with "happy anniversary " as well. Ordered a glass of wine and their version of an old fashioned. The cocktail was about 2 oz so not great for the price. Ordered Parker Rolls appetizer and they were good. Beef wellington and pan seared scallops as entres. Both were delicious but there were only 3 scallops. A little pricey for the serving size. Ordered truffle fries and brussel sprouts as sides. Both were delicious. Topped it off with the sticky toffee pudding which was amazing. Overall great food and service. As our bill before tip was over $220, it was pricey for the serving size. That is the missing star.

    Our experience at Brasserie was outstanding in every way! Other than the wine list needing a few more affordable bottles, I can't think of anything I'd change. Our waiter, Zach, was attentive but not overbearing, the food was excellent, and we enjoyed our dinner immensely. I had the trout amandine, husband had the mussels, and we split the mixed greens salad with goat cheese and hazelnuts. The trout was so crispy, I tried a bite of the skin and ended up eating the whole thing--that's a first! Husband enjoyed the mussels for a lighter dinner. Even though this was for a special birthday dinner, I'm sure we will be going back for a non-special occasion.

    We had a lovely dinner at Idol Wolf last night. They have a very unique menu. The waiter was very good at explaining what the dishes were and giving his thoughts of his favorites. We split the salad and shared two small plates. It was the right amount and all was delicious. We plan to return for dinner with another couple soon.
