This was the first time I have eaten at the Tenderloin Room. Typically we stay at another hotel closer to downtown that has another steakhouse located in it. The food was better here, and the service felt more personal. I would recommend the Tenderloin Room to anyone looking for a great steak and an enjoyable dining experience.

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.

I loved the experience. The only thing is I was really dressed up and it was people in jogging suits and tennis shoes. I got ac better understanding of the dress code after asking the waitress. The dress code does not change my experience. I loved it!

Always a good bet for a quick meal. Great cocktails and sandwiches. Noise level on this visit ,however, was brutal. A part of 12 in the same room were just way too loud.
