Best Fine Dining Restaurants In Saint Louis Near Me

Ross Mandernach: Absolutely amazing food, wine, service and atmosphere. Anyone who has given this place a 1 star review has the palate of a picky toddler and knows nothing about good food. This place is worth every penny

Josh Lorenz: Great dinner, excellent food and friendly staff!

Sherry Pesicka: The portions are extremely small and the prices are very expensive. 2 of us cost $277.00

Scott Howze: The tasting menu and pair pairings were amazing. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I have no complaints.

Parker Gelber: This was the most fun and romantic tasting menu experience we’ve had. The food was unbelievable. Creative and diverse.This staff here was fantastic. By far the best service we have experienced. There knowledge is unparalleled.5 out of 5, one of the best spots in the Midwest!

Brian Grouzos: The food was ok. Like 5 dishes in a row had basil oil on it and most were slightly under seasoned. Service was very good though. Overall, the value for the price wasn't there for me.

Rachel Waterman: After trying many other tasting menus around town - tempus, vicia, bulrush, etc - gotta say this is hands down the least bang for your buck. Food is good, for sure, but you can eat just as well, in a much nicer setting, for a lot less money elsewhere in town.

Jason Yeager: The food, wine, and service was exceptional. It was very expensive, but also a great dining experience.

Nicholas Miller: Expensive but the best. Don’t go here to save money, go here to have a meal you won’t soon forget. Each course was thoughtful, delicious, and beautiful. We went there for our anniversary and very much enjoyed the whole experience.

Eduardo Sequeira: This what everyone must expect about fine dining. Good service, good and very well executed dishes with a good balance of wine pairings that usually is just random, the selection of wines was very accurate with the dishes and it has the right proportion. Bread, caviar, fish, beat tartar, Salmon cooked with broth, the mushroom, the chicken, the beef and dessert were just the right amount of flavorful dishes. I think the space is small for the potential of the cooking 🔪 here. Really worth it to visit if you want to have a good and fine dining experience

David Nold: Absolutely a superb and well designed chefs menu. The cadence of the nine courses and service was excellent. The flavors and creativity of the food ….wonderful. And the wine pairings were perfect…so totally complimentary. The staff and ambiance is an understated elegance, by which I mean professional AND friendly. They change their tasting menu every 2 months or so…..SO….if I’m back in the area this will be again on my list.

Kyle Williams: Have been to OLIO many times and love their food, but our meal at ELAIA was painfully underwhelming. We got the tasting menu with standard wine pairings and after an excellent cheese and bread service were disappointed by every course. The sturgeon in particular was so overcooked and unseasoned it was inedible. The wine was good with each course but everything except the short rib had almost zero flavor. For a total tab of more than $500 this was just such a bad meal. Especially disappointing given that the front of house staff did such a good job. It was just a poor meal on every level.

dhstlmo: We'd not been here for a number of years but just went for a birthday dinner, getting the full tasting menu and premium wine pairings. Elaia had always been good but a bit mixed in the past, and we thought this meal was up to their best from the early days. The wine selections were outstanding and most of the food courses were excellent to truly wonderful, and everything was at least very good. Service was charming, knowledgeable, attentive and well-paced. Be aware of the price tag, which was steep for our choices, and decide if it's likely to be worth it to you. St. Louis tends toward strong and simple flavors, and our meal at Elaia wasn't like that, closer to what you'd find in the bigger cities or in Europe, which isn't to everyone's taste.

Mel: I agree with the other reviewers that the tasting menu is overpriced and lacking both creativity and flavor for what you pay for. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately it seemed like the menu had been created without much thought which does not fly for that price point. There are other restaurants in the area that have amazing tasting menus for a fraction of the price.

Brad Hogenmiller: Wonderful anniversary dinner!

Dana Liu: Overall this was a really disappointing meal that fell short mainly because the price we paid did not justify the food and experience we received. We did 2x Chef Tasting Menus at $135 each, and split the premium wine pairing at $140 for a total of $410 before tax and tip.For this price, we found some issues in the dishes we received (e.g., overcooked sturgeon, beef short rib itself was on the bland side), the ingredients in the dishes didn't justify the price point (most expensive was the small scoop of caviar, then followed by beef short rib, and sturgeon - both of which had small portions as you can see in the photos), the wine pours were fairly restrained over 8 glasses, and the overall experience wasn't up to par with 'fine dining'.As a direct comparison, the last fine dining experience pre-COVID was with a 1 michelin restaurant in Chicago called Temporis. They offer a $165 seasonal tasting menu which was an intimate fine-dining experience from the setup, the service throughout, and the final parting gift of a goodie bag with the tasting menus and a sweet treat from the pastry chef. Their menu also features premium ingredients such as Lobster, Duck, Venison, A5 Wagyu Ribeye, etc. Finally, their comparable 2nd tier wine pairing to Elaia's comes in at $165 over 9 courses.For just $30 more on the tasting menu, and $25 more on the wine tasting, you could've gotten excellent cooking (as recognized by Michelin if that makes a difference to you), premium ingredients, reasonable wine pairings, an extra course (and wine pour!), and a really positive memorable experience. Elaia was certainly memorable, but for all the wrong reasons.I do not recommend Elaia. There's definitely other restaurants in the St Louis area that gets better bang for buck. If you're looking for a guaranteed fine dining experience, I highly recommend making a trip up to Chicago - there's plenty of really great restaurants to explore!

Conrad Gray: Don’t even try it!We thought it would be a cool place because it’s in an old house. Thought maybe a chefs table!Wrong…..We both preordered the chef’s tasting menu when we made the reservation. Bad idea.It’s very hot at our table and they brought us an already opened bottle of what was supposed to be Italian still water but it smelled just like that river in St. Louis.I won’t spend the time telling about the terrible food on every course as I have included some photos.Way too much money for not nearly enough thought and concern for a fine dining experience.Terrible

Gaelen Joseph: owner is incredibly rude and food is not worth the price

Stanley McCaslin: Expensive, but a great food experience, with impeccable service. We had the four-course tasting menu, with wine pairings. I understand this menu changes daily based on what is freshly available that day.

Eyreka Peterson: Edited 9/19/2022 to add that it is not shocking that this placed caught fire. Like I said below, major systemic issues.I wasn't going to write a review, but the service I received on a Friday evening (8/26/22) was so bizarre I've been thinking about it all weekend. I called the Thursday prior to inquire about reservations for 3:00 p.m. drinks and dinner. I was assured that it would be so slow at 3 that reservations would not be needed. I arrived at 3 p.m. with a party of 4 and no one was in the lobby or bar area so we waited around. A woman came through the door from outside on a mission and stopped in her tracks and asked "do you need something". Not rude, but certainly not kind. We explained we were there for drinks and dinner and she let us know there was no waitstaff to help us yet. Cool, I've worked food service before, I know how it goes right at opening. We asked if we could start with drinks and apps and were directed with a curt finger that it was outside. The bartender asks if we're going to order drinks and food, we say yes and order. We start towards the tables in the dining area and the bartender tells us we should sit in the bar area so she can bring out our apps. I let her know I need to sit at a low top table and there are none in the bar area. We proceed to sit at the table closest to the bar in the dining area. We are only there for a few minutes before she comes over to tell us that the table is reserved. There are zero people in the dining area. It's 3:20 p.m. I let her know that we're planning on ordering dinner and that I can't sit in a high top table. She assures us she has something over in her section. She seats us at a cheap cabana couch, directly in the sun (it's 98 degrees out) out on the deck. It has a tiny table that our drinks and apps barely fit on. We are boiling. We finish our apps and drinks and decided not to stay for dinner (because how even at that table). As we're leaving there are 2 tables seated in the dining area. No reason for us to have been moved. The drinks were great, the food that we had was delicious, the service was the absolute strangest thing I've ever come across. I'm willing to make excuses for 1 person having a tough afternoon and providing subpar service - it happens. When it's multiple people and multiple instances - that's systemic.

Brittany Griffith: Many thanks to Mike and the manager for making our day. The service was good and prompt. See you again soon :)

Malcomn Roach: Still a good place for Sunday brunch. Prime rib is awesome

beautybyraelynn: The women at reception was insanely rude to my group. I felt like I was dreaming… she ruined our evening from the moment we walked in. I never write reviews but I couldn’t help myself.

Ryan Daigle: Always a delicious meal. We've been going here for about 12 years and they always impress!

D M: Absolutely perfect brunch. Danita was our wait staff person today and she was wonderful!

Salvatore Scotto: Nice place, good dinner, staff friendly.

Issa Lifestyle 1: There was mouse droppings on the table. No one working there even attempted to cleaned it up. Horrible first impression. The hostess working Sunday 8/28 around 10:15am did not greet us when we arrived, she said something to a server then continued to eat her bacon. I said "hello" and she replied, "Can I help you?". Immediately I felt the quality of the experience sink to fast food level. I let her know we were there for brunch she asked "Do you have a reservation?" "No we do not." She shoveled the last of her bacon into her mouth, grabbed 2 menus with her hands she just put in her mouth and walked away. We reluctantly followed hoping to recover the ambience of the experience but at this point we are already not feeling welcome. We were guided through a small bar area and sat near a window in the back of the room. Immediately we noticed the droppings on the table, but the hostess had already gone back to the host stand. We never even sat down. I walked back to the host stand to bring the issue to the bacon eating hostess' attention to which she said 'it isn't feces or else we would be shut down'. I advised her that was exactly why I came to tell her instead of taking a picture. Her reply was "Go ahead take a picture cause it's not that." I replied,"OK I will." The person I was with had to ask for a different table, it was not offered to us by the hostess. She said 'the only other space I have is this or that', pointing toward a table in the corner by the door of the room we had just left. We walked over to the table ourselves. As I noticed she was not going to formally seat us, so I took it upon myself to retrieve the menus we left at the poop table and of course to take the photos of the mouse droppings on the table and in the window seal as suggested by the hostess (see attached). It took us about 10 minutes to find a different place to go for brunch; the entire time no one attempted to investigate or clean up the mess we reported. As we left the manager tried to speak to us but it was too late. I couldn't leave that place fast enough. People deserve to have a choice what environment their food is in especially during pandemic times. Definitely looks like rat sh't!!! I will not return.

Michael Wallace: Weather made it perfect. Their rooftop experience is top notch. And their servers are attentive

Jim Williamson: Rooftop bar with a view of the arch

Grant Young: Just stepped out of Vin De Set and couldn’t have been more displeased. We showed up at open, after being advised to do so on a Friday as it will get busy. So we showed up and got ignored until we told the hostess we’d like to have a drink and apps. After being pointed to the bar, through the window, we headed over. One party doesn’t deal well with high top chairs, so we headed to a 4 too under shade after being told “I won’t be able to give you service but that’s okay, I’ll till serve you”So we sat in the shade and maybe 3 minutes later we’re told the entire area was reserved and we had to sit in the sunniest area of the roof top. Had we not ordered, we would have left.This was the oddest and most uncomfortable experience I’ve had in any restaurant, not just in St Louis.If you want bad service, rude staff, and to be lied to, accompanied with honestly good food and cocktails - this is your spot.

Suzie Scrivner: This is my second time here. The food is great! Courtney our server and Bryson the bartender were wonderful. The woman at the hostess stand made me feel like I was intruding. She even came to me and my table at the end of the night to let me know that they were closing at 10. I did not see her tell any of the other patrons that they were closing. I will not come back to this place. We spent over $500 and felt like we were being kicked out early. There were four of us. We asked who she was and were told her name was Sharee. We still had full drinks and desserts. Please put a smile on your face when you are greeting customers. Don’t make them feel like they are not welcome.

Beverly: What happened? Last year we had a lovely birthday dinner with wonderful food; the set menu was fabulous, and the staff were incredibly attentive. This year it was just… bad. The baked brie with strawberry-basil marmalade would have benefited from a more generous serving of the marmalade, but that was forgivable. The coq au vin was absolutely flavorless and dry—confusing given that the dish is literally cooked in red wine. Interestingly, it was served on the same dish shape as the steak even though there was liquid on the dish (still somehow flavorless). The veggies were reminiscent of those served in an elementary school cafeteria. The strip steak was overdone, and the best that I can say about it is that it can be used in leftovers. (Un)happy birthday!

Janeth Hernandez: We had the steak and frites very disappointing. The steak was so fatty and tasted like burnt rubber. Drinks were bland and below average. Prices are far too high for the quality of food. We’ve even been here twice because we really wanted to like it since it is walking distance from our house. Never leave reviews but felt like I should.

Steve McCormick: I feel like it is overpriced. $33.00 / person for a 3 course brunch. They used to have a brunch buffer that was worth 33.00. The service was excellent.

Coleen Hill: Excellent staff, food and rooftop view! One of my very favorite St Louis restaurants. We have not had a bad meal yet. Also wonderful desserts!

cufta05: We dropped in based on a Google search on restaurant with a terrace. Also, we thought it would be possible to order a coffee because of the French restaurant. Unfortunately, our thinking was wrong. The quality of the coffee was terrible. The service was bad. The employees together with the manager did not seem to know where to put us. We wandered around to find an area for "coffee drinkers". The manager who was on duty did not care when we told her that the coffee was terrible. Overall C-Coffee 1.5/10Service 5.5/10

Cheryl Andrews: Great food and service

Mark Leibu: Probably better for dinner. Sunday brunch, so and vs so

Eric W Thompson: Good view outside on the roof. Fine food with attentive service. Prime rib was awesome.

Derek Theisen: We did the farmers feast tasting menu. All of the dishes were creative, carefully constructed, and delicious. The fried potato with caramelized onion and the cheesy grits with smoked daikon were real stars of the show. Unique wine menu and great cocktails.Vegetarian options: Only one dish had to be subbed in our tasting for our vegetarian guest and the substitution was just as thoughtful and tasty as the meat option.

Allan Connolly: I hate posting negative reviews, but sometimes you’re left with little choice. I sent the following message directly to the restaurant, but after a month without a reply from Vicia I felt I had little choice.“We had an appalling experience last Saturday while dining at Vicia.  We've eaten at Vicia several times, and enjoyed the prior experiences, but the most recent visit was appalling.   We paid for the elevated wine pairings to go with what we thought would be a tasting menu.Your tasting menu is anything but a menu degustation - it's a three course dinner served family style.  The pairings for the "tasting menu" were a glass of very average white, followed by a very thin Bordeaux, Duc des Nauves.   These are bottles of wine that retail for LESS than $25, and that's retail, not trade.Five of us had the parings, so we had one bottle of white and one bottle of red for the table.  You charged us $250 for wine that you paid well under well under $50.  I get the usual 2x mark up from retail at a restaurant, 3x gets irritating,  but 5x???   That's nothing but insulting - you are exploiting your customers to the point it borders on theft.  I can't begin to imagine what you serve for the base pairing.We raised this issue with your staff, and let's just say they were less than helpful.  Their tone was dismissive, and they repeated over and over again "what do you want us to do?".  First step, don't put this back on the customers.Please understand that we are not serial whiners.  The food was great, but the flagrant price gouging, combined with the poor response from the staff, ruined the experience.”

Michael Snowden: Wow Vicia was a wonderful meal and I am blown away by how affordable it was for 2 people for this quality of food. I’ve been to other places with this level quality and I end up spending over 1000 but not here. Our bartender Tyler was a really nice guy and the wine guy was excellent as well. We did the farmers feast and it was superb. Will definitely be back in the future!

Nidaa Jabbar: Very nice place, staff is nice. When we came to order, they gave us a price of $85 for a Tea three-course meal that they had. When the first course came, one of the entrées was pork, we had told her we are 100% kosher so we can’t have that. So they adjusted my serving to a little arugula salad. Then came second course and they had chorizo inside a sauce and we told them we also can’t have that so they replaced it with two little bit cakes. The only protein we had was two little pieces, upper thigh that was split. Then we got the tab and it was $263 because it was $85 per person. We were never once told it was per person. Well I didn’t want to feel rude or rub my message often anyway, but I did email the restaurant and contacted them through their personal site and they have yet to even respond.

Bradford Sledge: I don’t even know how to review this restaurant. It is not the type I would normally choose for myself, I went with a group. There’s no menu, you get what they serve. It’s heavily vegetarian but there was a little meat. Some of the options were yummy, some were a miss for me. I wouldn’t go back, especially given the price, but if you lean vegetarian and want something different and interesting, this might be just the place for you.

— “‪Muskrat Steve‬” —: This is a bit higher end than I am used to. We did the tasting option and celebrated our engagement. The food was exceptional. We both enjoyed 95% of what was served and what we didn't like was due to palette preferences and not the quality of the food. The wine pairings were perfect. The staff was amazing. I didn't think the dessert was on the same level as the appetizers and main course but it still tasted well. Ultimately, I hope to return again. I need to have more of those turnip tacos.Vegetarian options: Veggie options were very well done.

Kayla Meyer: I came here with my family after my college graduation & left upset & crying.My dad has health complications & is disabled, so the lack of wheelchair accessibility & seats while waiting is unacceptable. When I booked this reservation, the website said “Italian fine-dining restaurant.” Come to find out, this is NOT Italian. Olive Garden would’ve been a better choice. When we sat down, the man who gave us drinks told us the owner “Gino” would explain the menu for us. When “Gino” came over to our table, he immediately asked for our order. I asked him if he could explain the menu to us, because we had never been here before & mind you the menu is only ONE PAGE. It was unfamiliar to my family & myself & I just wanted to make sure my father (who has dietary restrictions) & I ordered something we would like. He responded with, “Alllll of it?” in a rude & snarky voice. I was taken back. I told him I’ve never heard of these dishes & he proceeded to say “This isn’t Italian, this is Sicilian. You Americans have made Italian food into lasagna & spaghetti & meatballs. I’ve never had either of those in my life. You are in a five star restaurant, & the only one in the Midwest. Though, if you want that kind of food you can go next door. They aren’t as good as us but it looks like you won’t be happy here.”We politely just let it go & ordered what we thought would suit us best. The food, (MEDIOCRE AT BEST) was not worth the $45 we paid for each dish.Before & during our meal, they would snatch our plates away from us while we were still eating. Gino also slapped the bill onto the table & walked away. As we walked out, he was sitting at the bar on his phone & didn’t say a word to us.I was taken back by this entire restaurant & have been to many restaurants on the hill, but I will NEVER recommend this one. My graduation night turned into me feeling bad that I put my family in this situation & it was very hard to bounce back.Kid-friendliness: RUDE TO EVERYONE.Parking: NONE.Wheelchair accessibility: NONE.Dietary restrictions: NONE. We asked about the menu due to my father having health restrictions we were asked “why” they had to explain the menu to us since we could just read it.

Angie Bacon: This was our first and last time eating at Dominic‘s. While the food was very good, the menu had about half of the stuff on their website. The prices were higher. The waiter that took our food order was not very pleasant. Felt like he was giving us attitude that he was better than us for whatever reason.

Ashleigh LaZear: Wow wow wow!!! Dominic's surpassed all expectations!!! We came here for my 31st birthday with our 10 month old son. Every one from the server to the owner came to our table and our experience was world class. The chef even brought freshly made pasta to our baby, put cheese on it, cut it up for him, and watch with genuine joy as our baby enjoyed the special dish they brought him. That was the best birthday gift of the night. Their dedication to making us feel like rockstars made the night one we will never forget. Thank you Dominic's!!!

Ushma Ahmed: The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming. My husband and I both had the Cannelloni alla Romana and it was absolutely delicious.My only complaint - the older gentlemen (I presume the front of house manager) is extremely rude to the staff. He was clearing off a table and collecting plates when a server walked by. He barked at her to take the plates and shoved it onto her arms. She almost dropped all of the plates.This is unacceptable behavior. It is never acceptable to treat your staff disrespectfully, and definitely not in front of guests.

Christie Del Re: They made it extremely evident that they don’t care about people dining solo, as was made clear during the entirety of my visit. From the rude host trying to get me to eat at the bar when I made a reservation, to the tucked away corner table in the far back of the restaurant, to the server who shifted focus on larger tables. As someone who travels for work frequently and often dines alone, I expect the same level of service and attention that a larger party would. On top of that, the food came extremely quick, an indication that it is not made fresh, and very over-peppered to the point that it needed to be remade. I did not want the dish anymore, and the server pushed me to have them remake it so I could take it with me (in an attempt to ensure I would still pay for it), needless to say, I gave it to a homeless man after I left.For being one of the most popular Italian restaurants in St. Louis, and not super busy, I would have expected a better experience. Will not be returning, I will choose one of the many other Italian restaurants nearby.

Chesterfield's Lasagna has a sweet flavor thrown in and I liked that but The Hill's Lasagna is denser and probably has more meat

I made the reservation and agreed to pay for 3 appetizers but my bill came out considerably more than what I was expecting. I thought maybe since I made the reservation and brought all the people into the restaurant that I would get a discount instead I got over charged.

My husband got the lamb chops I got the salmon with oscar (crab and asparagus)on top. We also got the lobster mac and the drinks. I can't wait to go back and this time it wont be a year.

Joseph Ensley: Can't say enough good things about this place! Great cocktails, great atmosphere, and fantastic views of the Arch! (It's literally across the street from the Arch, and we could see it through the windows) We had Alexis as our waitress, and she was fantastic! The food is always to die for! They were able to fit our table of 7 in with pretty short notice, and we had a great post-graduation celebration! Definitely try the Creme Brulee!

From the time we pulled up until we left we were very pleased with all aspects of the night. Valet was fast, efficient and courteous. Inside we were promptly greeted and seated. Our waiter was AMAZING and provided outstanding service. The food, WOW, Filey, "pepper" covered steak, Filet Oscar, all absolutely amazing. Lobster mac n cheese and mashed potatoes also sooooo good! Thank you Capital Grill, we will be back!

Analiza Bopp: My family went to Capital Grille for Mothers Day and it was our first time for a fine dining experience. Our server Mike defines decency and hospitality. Honestly I was a little bit uncomfortable since the place is very high end and I felt like I don’t belong there but once the server runner Marco and the server Mike came to us, it changed my whole doubt that I deserve it and my family. My mother-in-law said it was the best mothers day and she was very grateful on how we were treated. Dad is also with a walker and he can’t walk far and the manager switch our table which was already set up for specific reservations but he made sure dad don’t need to walk far. I felt like a royalty for a minute. Thank you Mike for showing good etiquette, humble service and hospitality to it’s best❤️

Anthony Howard: This was the worst experience we’ve ever had at a fine dining establishment. My steak was over cooked and I was escorted out of the restaurant. My wife steak was over done, and they would not redo it. They told me I was a liar, took pictures and humiliated me in front of my friends and family, the service was horrible. The atmosphere was horrible. If you want a good meal, you have a better chance going to McDonald’s. This place just needs to close their doors and take their pride with them because just because they have an Emmy Does it mean they can be rude to guests and and talk down to them like they’re inferior people customer supposed to be always right but not at this place. This place is a joke.

Bo Kratschmer: Had Reservations (which apparently we didn't need) got there at 7pm and we left at 9pm. No other customers came in. We were the only patrons there. Food was OK.
