I would completely recommend Commonwealth- especially since the location is right by the Fox! The service and ambiance was great. The food was really good. We had the scallops and lamb. The waitress was extremely responsive and they had a great cocktail list.

Trout is always a go-to, and recommended it for my friend. I tried the braised beef and thought it was fabulous. Escargot still remains the best in town, and the gougeres are addictive. Still my favorite STL spot for a nice evening out since moving out of town.
