Best Cozy Restaurants in Ballwin

Colleen was great! She was ready to serve us during the wine tasting. She was funny and very knowledgeable of all the wines and listened to our taste preferences. She had our wine ready when we finished eating and thanked us for coming. The food was delicious too. We had the ahi sushi. It was fabulous! The salmon was great too!

The food and wine were terrific as always, and our server, Teresa, was charming yet truly professional. The only "knock" on our review is the proximity of our table to the bar area. The restaurant has a low ceiling without sound dampening and the noise level was, frankly, annoying. To be fair, we were able to disregard that (for the most part) and had a nice evening.

First of all, this is our second time to dine here. I rather forget the first time we ate at this place, because of circumstances. But this time around, it was excellent all around. We do not mind paying the price because it is Christmas after all. I did not get the name of our server but he was excellent. I asked my risotto rice not have that half cooked rice which is prevalent on some "healthy" restaurants, he said their risotto rice will be really cooked and delicious. And it was...My lobster tails were excellent too...everything are really good. Our server wasn't obstrusive at all. He just passed by once to check if everything is OK. I asked my husband if I can take care of giving him a good tip.

This is a wonderful place for a nice family dinner experience as well as a pleasant date spot! They offer great options to select special add-ons for celebrations, too! The 4-course meals are well paced but ultimately a great amount of food; the entire family leaves with happy hearts and bellies every time, and Christmas Eve is no exception. We had an awesome server as well and he made sure we enjoyed our evening. All thumbs up for this restaurant tonight!

Cocktails were superb. Dinners were served as surprisingly large portions. Dessert was decadent. Service was excellent. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
