    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.

    Such a lovely experience. Old-school service like no one does anymore. So attentive. So professional. Mr Dominic himself came to greet every table, and even sang to a woman for her birthday, in Italian. Great Cesar salad, Arancini appetizer, linguine with clams, veal cannelloni (husband loved this), limoncello martini, and DELICIOUS chocolate martini (no cream version). Perfect elegant anniversary dinner out. Can’t wait to go back.
