    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.

    Liz took great care of us. The band was nice, but we will book a different night in the future. Great for listening, not as good for conversation. All the dinners were tasty!

    Salmon and Cioppino entrees were excellent. Beef Tenderloin was not as tender as expected. Cheddar chive biscuits with bacon jam were superb! Service and cocktails were great!
