Hands down, Ramsey’s kitchen has been the best Saint Louis restaurant experience I have had thus far. From the food, to the ambience and passionate staff, this place is a cut above. Given I went on a Monday night for my birthday, the place was quiet, tranquil even- with breathtaking views of the Saint Louis arch and Mississippi River just outside. Yes it is expensive but you can tell care has been taken. Lastly, I’d say this is a great place for EVERYONE to at least try once.

Terrific evening...Super greeting, attention during meal, food at top of WC quality. Knew what we were expecting and that's what we got. James our waiter was extremely gracious and made sure we were taken care of from reception thru the meal finality. Fine evening. On the comment side, we were familiar with the product so knew what we wanted but the menu was a little confusing as to meeting that need. I can't explain what or how because they were in our hands a brief amount of time and didn't have a chance to break it down but it just didn't give me answers without needing more time to sort it out. Missed the pix taking this year.
