Our experience was everything we had been excited for leading up to the reservation. The food was amazing as usual, wonderful staff and environment.

I only had crab cakes very bland wasn’t at all worth the price taste like they just caught the crab and put it on a plate, our waitress Laurie was wonderful, kind of the food doesn’t taste ally all like it use to be are how I remember from a year ago I go to Ruth Chris every year I’ve never had bad food maybe a little loud but the food was always good this time 2025 Feb 14 not at all the food wasn’t on point my husband steak was fatty and bloody, no condiments was offered for the food and it was very much needed

Wow, I wish I could give this place 10 stars. My boyfriend and I were visiting St. Louis for the weekend and we were recommended to come here. To say we loved it feels like an understatement. I had asked to be seated in a quieter section and they happily accommodated. The ambience was perfection: jazz and dim lighting…music wasn’t too loud. Our server Zach, gave us great menu recommendations. We ordered the French onion soup to share as our appetizer and it was incredible. We got the chicken dish and braised beef…absolutely phenomenal. For dessert, we had a hard time deciding between the chocolate mousse and the cream puffs. The kitchen gifted us the cream puffs (absolute angels). Also, the espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. Overall, 11/10 experience. I’ll be dreaming of the desert for a while. Thank you to the kind hostess and server and staff who all made us feel so special and taken care of!

Good service, pretty views, fast food (but not too fast) and delicious. We got the classic beef Wellington, veal chop, potatoes, the ribs as an appetizer, and a special dessert they had for Valentine’s Day. It was quiet but not so quiet you could hear a pen drop like some nicer restaurant; which we enjoyed. Also enjoyed having the parking lot or valet option, either way easy to access for a nice restaurant in the city.

We had not been to Tony’s for several years, as it’s a bit of a drive for us. We made a reservation for 2/11/25 to celebrate Valentine’s Day early bc of a scheduled surgery. We loved the “new” building and location, the atmosphere, lighting, music, service from Jade, and the DELICIOUS meal. Neither of us have enjoyed a meal out like this for as long as as we can remember. We will definitely be back much sooner than later!
