My wife and I and another couple went on Saturday night. We had been to Niche on other occasions. We were disappointed by the lack of ambiance in the new location. We found out there were only two options: a fixe price menu and a more expensive chef's menu. We ordered an appetizer and the fixe price menu. We found... More

We loved the food, the decor and the service (service was exceptional!). I have one small complaint, the carrot dish. It's not about quantity. In fact, I didn't finish the dish. It's just that two large carrots do not a main course make, no matter how delicious. There needed to be some variety, and maybe only one carrot? It was... More

We live about 2 hours away and were staying the night in St. Louis on our way to another event further down the road. new location in Clayton is easy to get to; valet parking was only $4 (without tip); menu was...

We went with another couple and did the chef's tasting menu. It was wonderful. I can't tell you everything I ate, but I loved it all. One of the dessert courses used Pop Rocks!

Unexpectedly ambitious -- the tasting menu rocked. Great service complements the daring menu that shows StL has more than just beef & pasta options. The dehydrated carrots for dinner are definitely a must try!

Went to Niche last night as a guest at a birthday dinner party in the upstairs 'mezzanine' level. It was a large group and the 3 servers handled it superbly. I am vegetarian and gluten-free (so a huge pain to feed) and they made multiple adjustments to the prearranged tasting menu to fit my needs. The food was innovative and... More

Had a wonderful meal tonight. Not flawless but great service and customer management overcame the following - second course service error, overcome in minutes; Cornish hen (fabulous) served lukewarm but replaced without fuss; one dessert was the only sub-par dish. On the plus side, an excellent and innovative garlic soup; tasty yellowfin tuna; a lovely carrot presentation, as a substitute... More

Very well done as always. Interesting ingredients prepared in wonderful and unique ways. We seem to not think we are going to get enough food, but always leave full. The knowledge put into each ingredient of each dish is just amazing. Not cheap by St. Louis standards but worth it if you can handle it.
