BobF wrote about Lafayette Fire Company No. 1

I am a retired firefighter from a department in Central Missouri. I have been following the news stories about Lafatette Fire Company No. 1 for about three weeks. I was excited about going to eat there and I did on January 3rd. It is a great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner and a great family resturant. Firefighters are unique cooks with some unusual dishes and I strongly recommend the meatloaf it is unlike anything your mother fixed for Sunday dinner it is great. Being a fellow firefighter I know that the food and atmosphere is going to improve 100% once these guys get the feel for running a resturant along with fighting fires. The prices are great and when you pay go to pay your bill add a little extra on for the Missouri Childrens Burn Center. If you choose not to add a little extra on to the bill on your way home stop by the burn unit at Childrens Hospital or Cardinal Glennon and you will the next time you visit Lafatte Fire Company No 1. Great job guys I will definitely be back

Zero stars for this one! Let me set the scene - New Year's Eve...made early reservations so we could avoid the rush - dinner took 2.5 hours. HORRIBLE SERVICE - even the "manager" was a JOKE. Watched 5 tables get up and leave b/c it took over 20 minutes before anyone would even take their drink order. NEVER would I refer anyone to this place - it looks like a nice place from their website and even when you walk in it looks great - but as the old saying goes...never judge a book by it's cover. I'm not sure how this place has stayed open with the type of service we received. A simple apology would have gone a long way, however don't expect anyone there...not even the "manager" would apologize for their horrible service. This is by far the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. Happy New Year!!

I was in town from Boston and hit John P Fields. This place is Great!!! When I come back my first stop will be here. Sara the bartender was very nice and I think she had a crush on me, so I will try and go back and seal the deal. See you soon my new friends at John P Fields.

hanna wrote about Smoking Joe's Bar-Be-Que

I noticed that metromix lists this restaurant as "not accepting reservations" but in actuality they do. We had a group of about 6 and had called ahead to make a reservation. The girl on the phone also mentioned to us that there is a free parking lot in back as well as the parking meters in front. The food was delicious! A large portion of the menu is under $8.99 and the portions are sizeable. The food is mostly homemade and tastes like it. The smoked turkey is really tasty, as is the mac and cheese and fries. They have a really beautiful interior, all done up for the holidays. They also had pretty good happy hour specials and $3 beers ranging from pacifico to schlafly to anheuser busch products. Highly recommend.

Once again the visit was excellent from the food to the service and then to the bar! It's a must to visit and try this place.

If you like dry rubs, this place is for you. My husband and I really enjoyed the spicy dry rub on the chicken & ribs. I definitely suggest ordering the baked beans as a side as well. This place is a great example of comfort food.

Best restaurant experience in a long time! The hype is true! The service and sushi was amazing. You have to give this restaurant a chance!

RAJ12 wrote about The Drunken Fish

The Drunken Fish Laclede's Landing was a great place to have dinner and drinks. The atmosphere was very trendy and the music was very good. We came in for the happy hour and wound up staying for dinner as well. We will be back very soon.

IrishBama wrote about O'Malley's Irish Pub

I was blessed to stumble upon this place during my brief stay in St. Louis. The scenery alone of Cherokee and Lemp would excite history lovers alike but the atmosphere inside this Irish tavern stands alone. I was intrigued with it all. The old brick walls have absorbed nearly a century of memories with a hint of Jameson and celtic music in the air. The neighborhood comes together in this unique pub. They treated a southern boy like me as family and I carry a piece of them in my heart. So take a happy hour out of your day to see that these words weren't embellishments. So order a Smithwick's, take a minute to look at the pictures on the walls, soak it all in, and give me a big smile when you see the Bama tag. Family never forgets family.

This place has the best sushi! It's hip and trendy, the service rocks and the food is down right awesome! A group of us goes there every Friday night to eat and take flaming sake bombs. Love it!

jonnyc1971 wrote about Andria's

I had heard good things about Andria's and being a steak person, I thought I'd try it. Maybe it was an "off-night" or the barage of Christmas party patrons, but to me it left alot to be desired. We arrived a promptly at our reservation time 6 pm, only to find out that they had seated a walk-in right before us. Then they seated another 2 person party while we were waiting! Finally, 10 minutes after our reserved time we were seated. Drinks, appetizers & salads were served quickly, but it was 30 minutes after our salads that our entrees' arrived. I ordered the 24oz sirloin and prepared to cut into it, only to find alot of fat and gristle. I know that some fat marbling adds to the steak flavor, but not in this case. I was prepared to enjoy a famous Andria's "melt in your mouth" steak...nope, a mediochre, tough cut of meat. I paid $35 for this steak?? Frustrated from the reservation screw up, having to wait longer than expected for the entree(which the waitress apologized for) and then the disaapoint of the "famous" steak, we had to hurry to eat and try to carve up what I could salvage of my steak, put our whole evening behind schedule as I had to have my wife at her surprise party by 7p. I don't mind having to pay or wait for good cuisine, but not in this case. Not impressed.

love2eatfood wrote about Drunken Fish

Everything from food, ambiance, and service was amazing! I heard a lot about The Drunken Fish and my experience certainly lived up to the hype. My advice: take a date, a group of friends, and even your family to this place. It rocks!

tommyilana wrote about Kitchen K

This place treats its customers terribly and charges way too much for mediocre food. They changed plans on me, didn't inform me, and then acted as if I was wrong for wanting their help in righting their wrong. Avoid this place! So rude!!!!

soulard wrote about Soulard's Restaurant and Bar

Food is wonderful at reasonable price. Warm atmosphere is historic location.

kevsgirl wrote about Number One Chinese Restaurant

Food is always fresh. Crab rangoon is especially good and hot - no dry corners on these. Plus they are made in the more traditional pillow shape instead of the triangle Americans have come to expect. Chicken is white meat, well cut and fresh. Vegetables are fresh and never overcooked. Flavors are distinctive - not all dishes taste alike. Generous portions, reasonable prices. Never ate in, only have been inside once. But, they'll bring the food to your door promptly and with a smile. In over 20 orders, they have never gotten the order wrong, the food was always hot, fresh and flavorful.

AJ1 wrote about The Drunken Fish

Hands down the best sushi in St. Louis. The staff is friendly and knowlegeable ready to answer questions with na smile.

biotechoutreach wrote about The Country Club Bar and Grill

Not a Country Club, but a pretty good Pub Club in West County. Food is average, all one's favorite comfort appetizers, etc., and served fairly quickly. Service is sketchy at times, depending on weekday or weekend. Went for a Monday Night Football Game, caught the Blues game at the same time, and had a wonderful server. Prices are reasonable. If it's in your radius of convenient travel, go there.

i have been to everest twice now and can't wait to return. having been to india, this is the most authentic indian food i've had in st. louis. i would highly recommend everest to everyone!

mully commented on Frank's Take: Bartolino's Osteria

We had dinner here on Nov 29th and had the Cannellonii and the Fettucine Al Petto Pollo. Salad on the side was terrific...dressing was very tasteful and didn't over power the other ingredients. It was wonderful. It was a special evening for me and my guy and we enjoyed excellent customer service and the atmosphere was very warm and enjoyable. Well worth it (heck, the left overs carried us over to have for dinner the next day!).

keithyj wrote about Salina's Mexican Food

Had heard a couple good things before going. The wait was around 40 minutes before being seated, then it was another 15-20 just to get a server to order drinks. Then having to deal with a scrappy attitude thrown my way by the server the rest of the meal when I pondered politely aloud whichever drink would arrive fastest. A ordering Faux Pas I suppose. Enchiladas watery and runny, Beans funny flavor. Word got to the cook about me. hah In fairness they were busy but Cmon ?? and no friendly goodbye from owner leaving as we passed right by her. Have a nice life !

ExoticWholeMilk wrote about China Dish

These authentic Asian sweethearts remember what I order (adjusting the Hot-Braised Chicken to not burn the crap out of my mouth - I just tell them "a little spicy"), have my fairly inexpensive delicious delivery at my door, complete & ACCURATE in about 20 MINUTES FLAT, even on a Friday night. Needless to say, I am TOO LOYAL, LOL! I only wish they stayed open past 10pm & on Sundays!!! I LOVE these GUYS (and Gals) :) If I ever move from here, I won't ever find another "CITIFIED, Chinese Take-Out like this one. I will be miserable without them! The actual restaurant is not fancy, but, it is charming & lends to keeping me in my city state-of-mind. It's not a ghetto walk-in place, but, not a fancy sit-in, either. Just normal & casual. The people are beautiful souls. Ok, I have to go answer my doorbell! Yummmmmm!!!
