Brasserie is always awesome. Food is excellent and staff is best in the city. Part of why I’ve been to the restaurant so often recently is I’ve had visitors in town from Midtown/Brooklyn/Boston and Brasserie is the restaurant they all insist on going to when staying in STL (these people are foodies and have good taste I guess!). Just thought you should know you have a loyal following of fans even outside of St. Louis.

We went on a Tuesday night so there wasn't much of a crowd. The decor was new and modern. The menu was not extensive but had good choices. The Graphite Salad accompanied my main dish and was very tasty. My filet was very tender and the side dishes had great flavor.
