Best Lunch Restaurants in Southwest Garden

One of my three favorite restaurants in STL and the perfect place for a fantastic birthday dinner with my wife. A couple of things to note: when I asked for a recommendation on a white wine to go with my dinner, our waiter brought out two different samples for me to try instead of just the one I asked to taste. I went with the second option that I hadn’t even expected to try. The other was the noise/music level when we first arrived was noticeably higher than it normally is. Within 15 minutes of arrival, however, it had been turned down. Food was terrific. North Atlantic Salmon was perfectly prepared. And the Pumpkin Dessert was delicious.

We’ve been here about 5 times. Drinks and service has always been excellent. But the food has been very average. They did a menu change since the last time we went, and everything we got was amazing! The food is now back on par with their service and drinks. Excited to go back again!

If you’re looking for an authentic French restaurant in St. Louis, Brasserie by Niche is it. The space is so charming - you really do feel like you have been transported to Paris. And the cuisine is simply superb. My server Abby was wonderful and took great care of me. I will definitely be going back soon.

The food was spectacular, and our waiter Douglas was fantastic. We will request him every time we go back. Fantastic experience!

Our first time having lunch at Guido’s. The appetizers were outstanding and our pizza was life altering. Definitely recommend this awesome restaurant. What a treat!!!
