Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Downtown St. Louis

I have not one negative word about our experience! This was to celebrate my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary! They were absolutely delighted and every guest enjoyed their meal!

Another perfect evening. For the appetizer, we went with the Arancini. Light and delicious. The salads were great. House made croutons and dressing were delicious. For entrees, we enjoyed the Veal Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala. Each couldn’t have been better. Full of flavor, perfect portion size. I want to highlight the Gnocchi with the cheese sauce I had on the side. This was heavenly…light but bursting with flavor. Wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10!

My friends and I made reservations here for our monthly dinner. We ordered the 10 tasting menu. Everything was served hot and presented beautifully. The server Lee was helpful, professional and very friendly.

Let me just say, I was very anxious about this brunch meal because I could not find a menu. However It was not needed. While I may not have chosen the dishes on a traditional menu, Rated TK doesn’t give you a chance to decide. And I like that. They sit you down and take your worries away. Best brunch I have ever had. 4 courses and every portion felt like full size. I did forgot names (I’m a week late) but the staff was very nice and worked very well together. Thank you!! Not pictured Brioche bread pudding. 2nd best dish.

This weekend evening at dinner time when the local baseball game was on-going should have provided personalized and individualized care. However, with one bartender and one server (I so no food runner or assistants or managers either) the service was slow. When it happened, the server was marginal but the bartender, Toni, was absolutely fabulous! She not only made you feel welcome and appreciated, she made the BEST Paper Plane in the Universe! The mix of doos that we selected was well presented and tasty. The menu however is very small and Pennydrop is more of an upscale bar with a small bar menu as opposed to a full service restaurant with an amazing bar. When the baseball game finished and a crowd from the game flowed in, the service slowed even further and lines at the bar were much longer. With a few more staff members, the experience would have been maximized. Regardless of this, I will be back for my next Paper Plane before I head out of town.
