About the restaurant

"Patio seating is first come, first served. You can make a request for the patio in your reservation, and while we can't guarantee patio seating we do try to honor your request*

Located in historic Lafayette Square just south of downtown St. Louis, Square One Brewery & Distillery began operations as a Brewery & Restaurant in February of 2006. We strive to produce the highest quality and unique flavors that are not likely to be found in the large volume production of most beer and spirits today. By combining the expertise of the distiller, master brewer, and chef, we are committed to creating an amazing array of flavors and tastes for our customers.

This has become a regular stop when wanting a fun and good dinner. The menu is different, changing, and always good. Management recognizes and acknowledges us, as we always book through OpenTable. We enjoyed the tuna appetizer, the two fish entrees, key lime dessert, the fancy nightcap on the dessert menu, all very good. Of course all good things come at a price. We will return in the near future.

The Hill

About the restaurant

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.

It's an excellent restaurant to stop at before a show. Leave enough time, they let you take your time. If your show is at 7:30 be sure you start at 5:30. Cocktails are fantastic, along with the spinach and artichoke dip. Hubby always gets their grand burger which is unbelievably GRAND. I enjoy the salmon or the Regianno chicken.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambience, service, and value for the money were fine. The food was alright, with exception of the cheeseburger. Admittedly, I ordered it "medium to medium-well." I wasn't expecting a charcoal briquette. Two of the three people dining DID like their food. But the cook should have been embarrassed to send out that cheeseburger!
