    Our first time here, and I can’t believe we’ve never been here before! The ambiance was perfect, and the service was friendly and efficient. The food is outstanding, and even though I’m not a huge ice cream fan, the spiced pear sundae was absolutely wonderful!

    Brasserie is always awesome. Food is excellent and staff is best in the city. Part of why I’ve been to the restaurant so often recently is I’ve had visitors in town from Midtown/Brooklyn/Boston and Brasserie is the restaurant they all insist on going to when staying in STL (these people are foodies and have good taste I guess!). Just thought you should know you have a loyal following of fans even outside of St. Louis.

    This food was excellent - we had 5 moms out celebrating birthdays - we had the spaghetti bolognese, the pepperoni pizza, the margarita pizza, brisselsprouts, burrata and 2 desserts! All of it was excellent !! We will be going back. I’m a huge pizza snob and this pizza was fantastic - also, the Brussels pouts are a must try and the dessert with the cookie crust

    Three of us ordered different entrees. All were excellent especially the seafood and very unexpectedly large portions- so lots to take home. Our waiter was easy to work with as we were having fun and requesting information about many items. The owner stopped by as well. We hope to return soon.
