The 37 Best Restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri | Eater

"Craig and Mowgli Rivard worked together in a series of Brooklyn restaurants before the couple returned to Craig’s hometown to open this small neighborhood dinner spot in winter 2019. It has since become a place for outdoor gatherings on the large patio and a go-to for a growing crowd of regulars who stop by for specials like a chopped cheese, which somehow feels nostalgic even for people who have never tasted one. Elsewhere on the menu, French, Spanish, and Italian influences come together in dishes dictated by the seasons, such as crispy blowfish tail with squid ink romesco and Calabrian chile crunch. The bar program, led by Dakota Cortez, serves a perfect martini." - Holly Fann
