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.

Our first visit to Tres Reyes. We selected Tres Reyes based on the ratings on opentable. It did not disappoint. The service was excellent from start to finish. Drink requests were taken almost immediately open being seated and Fresh chips and salsa followed. They did not rush us with ordering, but kept checking back in to see if we were ready. The food was excellent. It was not the run of the mill Mexican food you get in a lot of chain establishments. You could also tell they took pride in the presentation and wanted to make sure you were totally satisfied. We will definitely be a regular customer. Highly recommend!

Wait time from ordering to getting food took a long time. We scheduled dinner 2 hours 15 minutes before our show started and we barely made it. Hour 45 minutes for dinner was a bit long of a wait to eat
