    Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful hotel. Nice menu. Great atmosphere. Wait Staff in Tuxedos. Food was good. Unfortunately we had server envy. We watched a server provide awesome service to other tables while our server ignored us and provided sub par service. A $50 uber ride from downtown St Louis hoping for an exceptional restaurant but our server missed the mark. Too bad. High end restaurants like this need awesome servers. I know good help is hard to find.

    Excellent food, drinks and experience all around. Highly recommended. I had a problem with my Kansas City strip being way overcooked. Our excellent waiter took it back and promptly brought a perfectly cooked, medium steak. He noted that the chef had told him that their butcher has been uneven recently with that cut and they may need to take it off the menu.

    Absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were amazing and the food was even better. Great for dinner meetings or date nights. The old woodwork in the place is marvelous. 10/10 experience.

    We had reservations, but after experiencing Sarah's excellent mixology and warmth, we stayed in the bar for dinner. The perfect manhattan, black manhattan, and whiskey sours were made to perfection. We shared the house salad and a steak sandwich, which was tasty but drenched in sauce, which made for soggy bread. The house salad was good. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we will be back!

    This was my first time patronizing the Tenderloin room for my girls birthday and they did not disappoint. If you love an opulent feel for dinner, this is your spot. Customer service is A1
