St. Louis Restaurants

King Doh
King Doh has been around for 31 years in its Warson Woods space, which makes it one of the longer-running Chinese restaurants in the community. It proudly displays a large handful of reviews, including a couple of very old ones from a former Post-Dispatch critic. Only a few people read them, we’d guess, but we

Kim Son
We can’t recall seeing Cornish hen on a Vietnamese menu hereabouts, but we ran into it not long ago at Kim Son. We’re not sure, by the way, if it’s Kim Son Seafood, Kim Son Vietnamese Bistro, or Kim Bistro–we’ve seen all three names around the establishment, and it was simply Kim Son the last

Milagro Modern Mexican
A Mexican restaurant by the railroad tracks…but wait: This is Webster Groves and Milagro Modern Mexican is large, airy and modern. Tucked to the side of an upscale shopping precinct, slightly hard to find, it's worth the effort. The address is Allen Avenue, but rather than turning off Lockwood onto Allen, you'll do well to turn

Winslow’s Home
No question about it, Winslow’s Home is unlike any other restaurant in town. Surely dining alongside uncommon toys and eco-friendly door mats is a singular experience. Deeply casual, the patrons make the Home feel like a diner, or a dining room, albeit a rather upscale one, with both simple and complex flavors from a

Anthonino’s
We're happy to announce that we've begun doing some work for St. Louis Magazine's online edition. Their blog FEAST features our review of Anthonino's here. We'll continue to let you know when we have reviews there, which will not duplicate what we're doing there.

Farmhaus
There’s lots of buzz about Farmhaus these days, and it seems ready to become this summer’s Hot Spot, with Kevin Willman, formerly of Edwardsville’s Erato, manning the helm and doing things in his own slightly idiosyncratic way. For instance, he recently took off a few days to go fishing, and just closed rather than delegating

Peppe’s Apt. 2
Peppe Profeta has been around the St. Louis restaurant scene for a very long time. He must have been only just out of his teens when he opened Gian Peppe's on The Hill in 1981, and since then he's been almost constantly welcoming and feeding hungry St. Louisans and their guests. Now he's opened his

Brunch: Wei Hong
For those who haven’t been to Wei Hong Seafood in a while, there’s a surprise in store. The old Art Deco movie theater on Olive Boulevard has lost its terraced floors and most of the related stairs, the dining room now on a single level with a faux-wood floor. (Wheelchair access is still slightly tricky,

Paul Manno’s Cafe
Paul Manno told us on our last visit that he’s never advertised. Since the move from downtown some 20 years ago, it’s true, as far as we can recall. It’s all been word of mouth and media reviews, plus superb meals, to produce the business that keeps the place busy even on weeknights. The unassuming

Sanctuaria
Visiting Sanctuaria requires a slightly quirky sense of humor about décor as well as a liking for the flavors and spicing of Latin cuisine. The main dining room is strikingly handsome, but a number of the items placed around the room are Mexican objets d'art (our French is more efficient than our Spanish) for
