Best Restaurants for Birthdays in St. Louis

Took my husband and daughter visiting from out of town and LILLIAN made what is always a good option even better. Beyond cheerful and courteous and lovely. Without being pushy. Can’t wait to come back and hope she serves us.

This was our night out for Valentine’s Day. Sam, our waiter, was excellent- very knowledgeable about all the dishes and very pleasant. Crab dip appetizer and house salad were excellent. Fries, broccoli, and squash spaghetti also were super. Gave it 4 stars because the rib eye was ordered med rare which it was. Great flavor, but very chewy and grizzly. Caramel custard dessert was delish!

I wasn't expecting to find my new favorite restaurant when I booked a reservation for Valentine's Day, but Maggiano's went above and beyond to give me the best service despite being busy. Every server and host was very friendly and patient. The restaurant was clean and cozy and fairly quiet even though it was packed. The drinks were amazing (I got a pomegranate martini and my boyfriend got the frozen peach bellini with a swirl) and came out fast. The food was absolutely phenomenal and well worth the money. I recommend the Branzino Crab Imperial! All in all, I had a wonderful experience and will be happy to dine here again in the future.

Valentines Day lunch for two. Food was excellent and the service (Spiro - our culinary guide) was exceptional. We had Calamari for an appetizer Then, we each had a salad…one lobster and the other tenderloin. Dessert - was cheesecake. We made future reservation for dinner before we left. Very happy.

Lunch was amazing! Excellent service and amazing food. We started with a glass of Prosecco while sampling the amazing focaccia! Best ever! Next the mushroom and black truffle soup followed by the fish sandwich of the day.
