Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Richmond Heights

My heart is gonna break when I have to leave St Louis. They’ve absolutely ruined all other Italian restaurants for me. I figure they must be Catholics! I feel like it’s heaven, but I also need to go to confession. The guilt is real! 😂😂😂 P.s. They ship the sauce!!!

The maitre d was able to seat us 1 hr before our reservation which really helped our daughter who had basketball practice at WashU early the next morning. Michelle our waitress had been working since 10am and you would never know it. She was so accommodating and pleasant and refilled my daughter’s drink about 8 times. The best calamari we have ever had at Capitol Grillle. The sides did not disappoint either. 5 star experience!

Food was good. Disappointed with the Turkey though. It was a bit dry. Good table service. This was my second year to attend for Thanksgiving. I will return for another holiday.

Blow your mind cocktails done perfectly. Not some basic Hotel cocktails put together by children. Know these were professional craft cocktail people. The Thanksgiving spread was second to none possibly the best I’ve seen around the world. 

We started with beet carpaccio which was amazing. Then shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. The birthday boy got a steak and I got the Delicata Squash side. At that point I was so full that I could barely finish half, even though it was delicious. Everything about the evening was wonderful and our server, Jordan, was engaging. There when we needed her but not hovering. It's a lively atmosphere, so not the place if you want to have a quiet convo but the food and service are top notch.
