Best Cozy Restaurants in Soulard / Benton Park

Idol Wolf is located in the amazing 21c Hotel and they have a fantastic free art museum open 24 hours. We arrived just before 5 for our reservation, before they actually opened and the host greeted us immediately and let us know they would be ready in about 5 minutes. We took the time to check out the museum and seated as soon as we returned. We both enjoyed the Idol Wolf Old Fashioned to start and had 4 orders of Tapas to share for our meal. All were amazing in flavor profile and presentation. I had been before, so I knew I would get the "Chorizo" Roasted Hen of the Woods: chorizo-spiced butter, arepa con queso, smoked aioli, and it was amazing. The portions were great and the food was delivered quickly. I will be back again.

Once again, we had a great time and great meal at Charlie Gitto’s “On the Hill.” Our server, Scott, did a great job (as well as all of the other helpers of the wait staff). Our food was delicious as always and my Valentine’s Day Special - “Land and Sea” was good to the last bite. Our visits to Charlie Gitto’s is never complete without the Cannoli. We look forward to coming back again soon!

A fine dining experience as usual. The short ribs and the filet were perfectly prepared and delicious. Great service (almost too fast the night we were there). It's a wee pricey but if you don't eat out often, it's worth it.

Our experience was awesome, we received a text message when our table was ready prior to our arrival. Upon arrival, we were escorted immediately to our table. Server was awesome and attentive, food was ordered quickly and arrived in a timely manner. Great experience, looking forward to another opportunity to dine.

Our server Clint was incredible. Made us feel very welcome!! Food was spectacular. Would highly recommend. Make sure to get dessert as it is fantastic and made in house!
