Elaia - St. Louis

It was our jubilee dinner, the service we received was absolutely top notch. the food was excellent! I have already recommended this restaurant to many people and we cannot wait for our next visit

The service was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Some of our dishes were excellent, while others were interesting but not something I would choose to order again. The wine pairings suited our tastes and were enjoyable. I'm glad we experienced it, but I don't feel the need to rush back.

After hearing numerous positive reviews, I decided to give this restaurant a shot. We opted for the tasting menu, but unfortunately, it fell short compared to other fine dining experiences I've had, even in St. Louis. The menu is composed of various elements featuring an eclectic mix of ingredients, and while some dishes might resonate with individual tastes, overall, it felt rather inconsistent. Additionally, the atmosphere of the restaurant is quite intense, lacking a warm and welcoming vibe.

From the exceptional service to the top-notch quality, I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate this place. It truly was a fantastic experience, and every penny spent was absolutely worth it.

Cocktails were not good-Ordered a Manhattan up and they brought a shot of Rye roomtemp with a cherry in the bottom. Tables are very close together allowing other conversations to filter to our table. The wine by the glass is very over-priced and mediocre. The food was excellent and I loved that the portions were small and not overwhelming. The desserts were delicious and very creative.
