Most Popular Steakhouse food in Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Reviews on Steakhouse food in Saint Louis, Missouri, United States. The history of St. Louis has been heavily influenced by Westward expansion and blues music. The big "must-see" in this region is the Gateway Arch, while other important sites include the Museum of Westward Expansion, the St. Louis Cathedral and the Anheuser-Busch factory tour. The city offers plenty for the whole family. Children will enjoy the local zoo and the Magic House, while family members will also want to unwind at Forest Park, home to the World's Fair almost a century ago.

10. The Tenderloin Room
Overall Ratings
4 based on 165 reviews
The "T-Room" has retained the look and feel of those oh so elegant restaurants of a bygone era - plush and comfortable without being "clubby". The dining rooms (two down and one up a short flight of stairs) say: "...Come and stay a while...". And why not?

Whenever we pass through St Louis we make sure to reserve an evening for the classic Tenderloin Room. Their steaks are consistently perfect. The wait staff is classy and personable. Spirits and Nick are both great. We love that they still bring a cart of the entire selection of appetizers right to your table and await your selection. The dessert menu includes two favorite classics as well: Cherries Jubilee and Bananas Foster. Both made at your table. We got both!If youâre unfamiliar with anything on the menu the wait staff is very helpful and want you to feel relaxed. If you need help with the wine selection they are there for you. They have thankfully not updated the decor or the menu. Even though there is no dress code have fun and not wear jeans. Compliment yourself and the staff by dressing with discernment.

Recently dined here as part of an Aniversary celebration. Apologize for not remembering our servers name. Young lady wiith blond ponytil, that was attentive and knowledgale. Quick note on this she was friendly and upbeat but neither my spouse or myself noticed any of the other servers even smile during our stay. Did not affect our meal in any way, just seems curious.Anyway BH had Oysters Rocekefeller and I had Lobster clam chowder as an appitizer. The Corn chowder was probably the best soup I have ever had. Oysters were very tasty also. Bh had a small Filet, and I had the rib-eye, both were cooked exactly as requested and very flavorful, various sides - Loster mac n cheese, brussel sprouts (amazing) and grilled asparagus were all excellent. Could not complete more than half the bounty and had a woderful lunch the next day of the leftovers. Keep this in mind when you get your tab, and it is a it pricey, but well worth and you are actually paying for wo meals each with the large servings.

Weâre celebrating a birthday. Itâs a dreary, rainy night and weâre met with friendly faces and warm greetings. The restaurant/bar has lots of character. Lots of hardwoods and brick to this place. Steaks are cooked to perfection, each cut is topped with its own sauce or glazing. Served with a baked potato and side salad. Topped with a nice coffee afterwards and your meal is complete. The only drawback for this night is that service was a bit slow. Possibly from our waitress having too many tables to attend. Still enjoyable.

This was a new restaurant for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Had the surf and turf special, which was cooked as requested and a good portions for the side. Bread and butter made on site. Good variety of desserts. Our servers was very accommodating and attended to our needs. Great experience and we will be back.

Our most recent visit was for my mom-in-law's birthday. Everything was superb. If you love a great steak, this is the place. The t-bone is almost beyond description. Huge, and done to perfection. Don't forget the creamed spinach! The wait staff are excellent. It's almost like eating at home. No wonder - it is a house disguised as a restaurant! A bucket list steakhouse experience for sure. Enjoy!

I attended a dinner on 9/12/19 and it was not good. It was my niece's birthday and I was there with family. First the food was sub par(salad lettuce brown, soup was horrible) and the service from our wait staff was less than sub par. I and my wife sat on one side with people not from our family and pretty much got poor service. No water or soda refills, sloow wait staff and to top it all off after paying for my meal (which was given a 10% tip because of our large number) found out this morning that i was charged the wrong amount.(luckily i still have the original reciept). My bill was $72 and I awoke this morning with a charge of $146 on my bank card. This is unacceptable. I have been there several times but after this, I will not be back . Sub par food, Sub par service, wrong charge = DON'T DO IT! Also there is no corporate office locally to speak with someone to challenge this bill. This is ridiculouse. I am truly disapointed. I spoke with Amir and he is currently arguing with me on the phone that they only took $72.85 when my account says $146.37 debited from my account. Again DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT!This gentleman was upset that his financial institution put a charge on his account before the transaction settled in excess of the cost of his meal. KOBE responded the following morning after he emailed the corporate office. Emir talked directly to his financial institution and they agreed that the charge was unsettled and could change when settled. Emir agreed to refund the $72 immediately or $146 if that was the amount that settled but this did not satisfy our guest as he wanted the full amount of $146 immediately and threatened negative reviews on social media. Repeated phone calls and messages in subsequent days to find the settled amount were not answered. Thanks for your review!!!

We went to Robertoâs restaurant for the first time, and I must say that my husband and I were very impressed. We have been going to Tonyâs downtown for 30+ years and have hesitated to try a new Italian restaurant. However, after the passing on of our beloved friend Mr. Vince Bommarito we decided to try a new Italian restaurant in St. Louis County where we live. We arrived early for our 7:00 oâclock reservation, and while briefly waiting for our table we noticed that the lady at the front desk was cleaning the menus. I was very impressed by that. They may do that in other restaurants but I have never seen it. She and the owner were particularly accommodating when we asked to be seated at a table not next to a large group, as our friends who were joining us are elderly and somewhat hard of hearing. The owner went to great lengths to accommodate our request. That was greatly appreciated as we were then able hear each other talk throughout the dinner. We were very impressed with the food we ordered. My husband and I chose to split the Rigatoni Alla Vodka which was exquisite. The homemade rigatoni was cooked perfectly (all their pastas are made in house). As a frequent visitor to Tonyâs it definitely rivaled any of Tonyâs pastas. The sauce was delicious and the âgoodiesâ in it, lobster, shrimp, and mushrooms were delicious and perfectly cooked. I would like to have the same dish with extra âgoodiesâ added as an option on the menu. We then split the Veal Saltimbocca which was served with prosciutto, cheese, and a white wine/sage sauce. The dish is expected to be salty because of the prosciutto. My husband liked it a lot as he loves salt. Despite knowing that the prosciutto would be salty I found it saltier than I would like, so I will not order it again. To be fair, I do not like much salt on any of the dishes I choose. As a dessert we ordered the Tiramisu which is one of our favorite Italian desserts. It was very good. To accompany the dessert, I ordered a cappuccino. I must say that it was ok but not the best, as it was too dilute for my taste. The wine list is quite extensive and reasonably priced. We had the Chianti Classico Riserva-Gabbiano which was very good, especially after we asked for it to be chilled a bit as it was served at room temperature. As for the service, the waiter who said to call him BB or bald Brandon was great, amicable but polite, and he served the dishes at the pacing we requested. However the busboy was a little too quick in removing the dishes our friends had not finished with. To be fair, he did ask them if they were done, but as there was food still on the plates he should have waited a bit more. Obviously, there is no harm it waiting a bit to see if more food is eaten from checking a first time to checking a second time. Nonetheless, we did not feel rushed and took our time to talk to our friends. As a side note, while the waiter asked us if he could pour more wine for us, we had already poured a second glass for ourselves. It may sound snobbish but in a fine establishment such as Robertoâs the wine in the glass could be checked more frequently so that we would not have to pour it ourselves. On the whole this restaurant is definitely quite the Tonyâs of South/West County. In summary, we highly recommend this restaurant and we are looking forward to going back often and trying new dishes.
