Went here after the symphony for dessert and was not disappointed. Our party ordered four different items and each item was very good. The only downside was parking and it is very loud inside.

This place was a great find for us as we were on our way to the Saint Louis Symphony at Powell Hall. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. It is in an attractive old historic building with a lot of character. The crowd was very eclectic and all age groups were present. Some come here for ice cream, some come... More

As we headed home from Illinois at 8:00 on a Tuesday night, we didnt want fast food and had a car full of cold and hungry boys. We stopped here got Hot Chocolate, great sandwiches, and the best soups ever. My husband had dill pickle soup that was so amazing and so unique and I had beef stroganoff soup because... More

We started going in to the Fountain before and after St Louis U basketball games. Service is quick and the food is great. Pulled Pork with special salsa is tasty, soups and salads are generous. Large selection of imported and domestic beers. Fountain sodas, sundaes, and deserts are exceptional. All homemade from scratch. Located in a very cool restored Stutz... More

We found this place through the St. Louis Symphony website and decided to give it a shot. SOOOO glad we did. Sorry Thai Kitchen, you just got bumped from my Favorite St. Louis area restaurant spot. The food was excellent and creative. I had the porchetta & apple chutney sandwich with a cup of sweet potato ginger bisque. Well made,... More

We LOVE this restaurant!! We've now brought our whole family to eat here over this past year. No one has ever been disappointed in their food or drinks or especially dessert! It's hard to pick favorites because everything is SO GOOD. There is a Signature salad sandwich that is to die for, and the ice cream martini's are awesome. All... More

Ice cream martinis...delicious and unique. Lots of other non-alcoholic ice cream choices on the menu, as well as food. I would definitely go back.

Tried this local restaurant out today after a trip to the zoo. Having heard a bunch about this place I've had it on my list to try. While I'm glad we checked it out and our food was good I wouldn't make a special trip there. When we arrived there were no open tables, which was fine. However, there really... More

So glad I found this hidden gem of a restaurant. It is located in midtown on an unassuming street just off the main streets/hwy. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and it was a warm friendly atmoshphere with painted ceilings and antique booths. It was like I was in the some speakeasy in the 1920s. The pulled pork...

A fun place with good food. Try to go when it's not terribly busy as things get a bit hectic and service is negligible. And yes, the bathrooms are beautiful.
