Restaurants near Hilton St. Louis Downtown at the Arch

Beautiful view of Gateway Arch from top floor of Four Seasons. Gordon’s signature menu items did not disappoint. For me the Potato Leak Soup, of all things, stole the show. Unexpected and exceptional. Everyone in the party had a memorable meal. Service was good and the pace relaxed.

My fiancée and I came here for a special night out and were not disappointed. Our waiter Weston made the evening- he was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the entire menu, with recommendations ready to go. The steaks, brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes were delicious. While eating, restaurant owner Ben came out to say hi and make sure everything was perfect. To wrap it up we were given two small cheesecakes on the house to celebrate our special evening, and it put the bow on top of a wonderful experience at Ruth's Chris.

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. 😉

Invited a group out during a conference. We intentionally had plenty of time. The bartender/server was solo on a quiet Tuesday dinner service; she was quick with drinks attentive. The chef was accommodating of an allergy in our group.

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.
