Best Lunch Restaurants in Soulard / Benton Park

Excellent Service and great waitress! The seasonal pasta offering is the best one I have ever had there!

We always love Brasserie but this was extra special. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and I dropped a note about that in the reservation request. Our server, Jessica, helped provide a great experience, We had a beautiful spot in the restaurant (flowers and sparkling wine awaiting), great found and drink, and another reminder of why this is one of our favorite spots. Add this place to our list!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Lemp Mansion Restaurant is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lighting is perfectly balanced—dim enough to create a cozy, intimate vibe but bright enough to enjoy the beautiful décor. The food is exceptional. Every dish is prepared with care, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The dessert menu is equally impressive, offering a selection of indulgent treats that are the perfect way to end your meal. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who make sure every need is met. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a great meal, Lemp Mansion delivers on every front. Highly recommend!

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.

Perfect spot to meet before a downtown St Louis event! It helped that we were staying in the hotel Union 30 is a part of. 😉
