"I 'd like to start by saying that this restaurant should hands-down be the #1 contemporary American cuisine in St Louis and easily one of the top 20 or better restaurants in St Louis. My wife and I went here for a date night dinner and were completely impressed by everything from the service, to the wine selection, to the food, and ambiance. The restaurant itself has clearly attracted the attention of St Louis ' elite upper class as the restaurant clientele were so exuberant that we honestly felt a little out of place there. We enjoyed a delicious burette appetizer and I had the gumbo; which is a rotating option based on the availability of ingredients and chef 's inspiration. The gumbo wa probably the best gumbo I 've eaten outside of Louisiana. A lot of menu items had the chef 's Louisiana roots; gumbo, spices, and the Wedge Salad even came with craw fish on it (rather unique! . There were a number of chef 's special items and the menu was just large enough to provide options for everyone, while not being too bloated that it was hard to make a choice. The execution on the kitchen staff 's part was a perfect 10 out of 10. Our waiter was attentive, although clearly busy. We did not feel he was overbearing, but when the restaurant was full, it was evident that he was very engrossed in the number of tables he had. The only improvement area that I 'd offer/advise of future guests is that it was very evident that the people with the deepest pockets were given PLENTY of attention. My wife and I were well dressed and respectful, but the maitre 'D and front of the house staff spent most of their time ensuring that a select number of tables were enjoying their evening the most. A simple How 's everything with your meal from the front of the house staff is where the team could focus. Overall, we definitely will be back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The price point is clearly well represented on TripAdvisor at the level. For the two of us, we spent 400 (including tip and ordered a lower-tier bottle of wine. An adult family of four or two couples on a date night could easily spend close to 1,000 here (including alcohol and tip ."

"we were in san diego for a conference and we wanted to eat filipino in a beautiful restaurant. there are many possibilities especially in the national city, but most are steamy, casual places (what the filipinos would call turo turo). this restaurant was a class that all its own and it is in the cool gas lamp district. first line makes it filipino eating accessible for non-philippinic. eating was very nicely plated. I had the crispy fish with the tamarindenbrot a senusitis. the fish (can not remember the name) was actually crispy on the outside and moist in the inner. the broth, cast table side, is nice tangig. the court came with a melange of vegetables including bokchoy, radishes, kartoffels and long beans. my only complain is that long beef, in contrast to the current fad from half cooked vegetables, to tenderly cooked and to be infused with the taste of the broth. the court did not come with tears, but no problem, I stole the bowl of my man who came with his escape. my man had all the fried fish with wine, tomato sauce. I liked this court very much, although some people may be deposed from eating who look back at you. the sweet tomato sauce has compiled the crispy fried fish. I forgot, we also ordered the salt and pepper calamari appetizer with picked paprika. the taste is good, but the calamari are a tad overcooked. to dessert we had the "Halo-Halo", which is really not exactly as the actual. the amount of emigrated to compose this dessert is obviously two kinds of mousse, reis crispy (not so crispy), fresh fruit compot (many knife work involved) and a sweet red bean, condensed milcheis pop. I think the rumor must be fried quickly so that it appears like popcorn. it tasted raw. I appreciate the efforts that were disserted in this, but the "Halo-Halo-" (Mix-Mix) was lost, as the components do not seem to go together. I would rather have sweet bananas and jackfruits in syrup than the fresh fruit. but still I wish this restaurant well."
