    Very helpful staff. Food is goood, just not great. Very interesting place from a historical standpoint. Staff has always been friendly,engaging and efficient. Go now, because construction is closing in on this quaint old place. I doubt it will still exist in two years.

    Had a great brunch - excellent food, a great, fun, casual and unique atmosphere and attentive service. It has character, too. Super value as the portions were generous (but not crazy big). Will absolutely go back. This is a hidden gem. I hadn't known about the place.

    I didn't expect much from Row House since it had a lot of openings when I needed to book a last-minute brunch for Mother's Day. I'm also not a fancy foodie, so I'm rarely disappointed by restaurants. Most of us got the eggs benedict and they were able to easily make accommodations for a vegetarian one. However, all of our poached eggs were fully cooked. I read a review that was the case, but forgot until I cut into it and there was no runny yoke at all. The poached egg makes or breaks the eggs benedict for me. That being said, I tried a few bites of their croissant french toast and it was pretty good. Also, their drip coffee was way overpriced and cost more than a latte at Starbucks. The server was really nice. I probably won't go back though.

    The food quantity and quality pretty good, decent value compared to nearby more expensive and crowded places, though not overwhelming. Charming location for now, though the gentrification of the area has made the little house anachronistic and crowded in among the new, mid-rise neighbors.

    This place was a great find! A hidden gem in the middle of SLU condos, I loved the fact that I could make reservations for a group brunch. Food and drinks were so good! Loved the spicy Bloody and the cheesy grits. Looking forward to going back!

    Went for Brunch shortly after they opened. Restaurant was very quiet, but things picked up a bit while we were there. We ordered several items from the brunch menu. I loved their veggie version of eggs Benedict. My husband had the reg eggs benny, also good, but his eggs were a little over done. We also ordered the french toast to share at our table. Would totally go back for the french toast ... best ever.

    We really wish that this restaurant wasn't soon going to be replaced but yet another modern void. We only found it since we moved into the neighborhood and were thrilled to step out of the hum drum modern bare spaces and predictable food.
