  This place never fails to amaze me!!! Their soups are AMAZING I can never go without ordering their pickle soup. So tonight I went all out- Pickle? Lasagna and veggie, I cannot decide which is my best! 😋😊😉

  We will definitely be making this place a staple when we are in town. The staff was so helpful and friendly. It was our first time, so they brought out some of their soup for us to try complimentary. Our lunch was delicious! The kids especially enjoyed the sodas and the small ice cream cone flights.

  Jazzy, historical, delicious, and swell. We loved the aesthetic of this fun brunch stop. They have a wide selection of cocktails, mocktails, house made sodas, and ice cream treats. The food was very good, the star of the show being the dill pickle soup and the buffalo chicken dip.

  this place is alright, i was kind of hoping for a better experience. the ice cream and food is really good, albeit expensive, and the interior is cute! my only major critique is the service; the hostess was very rude and dry, and our waitress didn’t seem very interested in doing her job. me and my boyfriend came in an hour before the place closes (we only planned on a small dinner), yet we felt rushed and pressured to leave right after sitting down. our waitress only really checked in on us once, and the other three times were to tell us that the kitchen and drink/dessert sections were about to close and that we had to order within “three” minutes if we wanted anything. of course, things need to be shut down and cleaned before the restaurant closes, but i wish we were told more in advance so we could pace ourselves properly. also, a sign at the front says customers are given 90 minutes to eat (in order to prevent a waitlist i assume), but only after around 35 minutes of us eating, our waitress asked about and handed us boxes. the few times she stopped by our table, she seemed in a rush and impatient. i also work a closing shift in food service so i can empathize with wanting to finish everything as soon as possible, but it’s not nice to make people feel like they’re inconveniencing you. i didn’t finish my sandwich but i packed it up anyways..

  Saw a review by the post dispatch on TikTok so decided to try it out before going to the Fox Theater. They did not disappoint! Cool art deco vibe, really nice helpful staff. The website allowed us to make a reservation online, but it turns out they don’t do reservations on Saturday afternoon no worries, we got sat at the bar This turned out to be the best place to sit because we got to watch them make all of the Sundays and other ice cream creations, so much for the eye to see! We shared the hummus with pita bread, My husband had the corn chowder soup. It was amazing. I snuck a taste. I had the Gouda grilled cheese and a cup of their fall harvest soup also delicious! We couldn’t stay long enough for dessert, but I did start my meal with an orange sherbet mocktail, highly recommend. This is a must try restaurant in St. Louis and it turns out it’s walkable from the Fox Theater, which was great, allowed us to park, walk down have our lunch and walk back in time for the Saturday matinee.
