So, I'm heading out for a week in St. Louis. Looking to make one night 'date night' with my girlfriend. We're looking at making reservations at Tony's downtown but honestly, it's a little pricey for my budget. Anyone here have any thoughts or advice on a nice locally owned restaurants? I'm not a cheapskate and I'm completely willing to pay a premium amount for a good food experience but Tony's is a bit much. Any thoughts?

I started a thread a few weeks back before I took my son to St Louis. Criteria was a bit different, but you will find some good info here. LINK

Of the places recommended we did go to Pappys, Broadway Oyster Bar, Milo's (on the hill), and Flying Saucer. I'd recommend any of these in a heartbeat. Have fun, it's a great city. Just watch out for Molotov cocktails and rioters.

I was born and raised in Missouri. My 2 cents....if you are going to go to the Hill, I would suggest Amighetti's for lunch. Great sandwiches and salads.

As far as dinner places, I would suggest going to the Soulard district. There is Franco's which I really like. Also the Broadway Oyster Bar which was previously mentioned.

If you like beer or wine, a good relatively inexpensive place downtown is the Bridge Tap House. Great beer and wine selection, date type atmosphere. Cheap entrees, good apps, charcuterie. I'll go there from time to time, get an app, an entree, and a couple good craft beers (albeit 12oz pours) and only spend about $40.

A more expensive, but incredible experience, is the Libertine in Clayton. The chef is from New Orleans and used to work in the kitchen at Commander's Palace.

I've been to those two places.

A couple places I've heard are really good but havent tried are Farmhaus and Sidney Street Cafe. I know Sidney Street Cafe was James Beard nominated. Farmhaus might have been. Niche in Clayton is also good, I've heard, but I think they recently had a fire and may not be open right now.

The Libertine.

The executive chef Josh Galliano has been in the running for a Beard award multiple times and is from right here in South Louisiana. I've known this kid a LONG time and even before he went to culinary school and did his stints at Commander's and Restaurant Daniel, he knew how to cook and he just got better.
