A Stroll Down Memory Lane: Restaurant Style

St. Louis is a terrific place for food. With my recent forays into remembered meals, I started to think about restaurants from the past that no longer serve the people of St. Louis. I know you can google a list of restaurants, but here are three that the Big Guy and I used to love to haunt on date night.

When we first got married, we loved to go to Pelicans on Grand. The food was simple, delicious, and reasonable for two newlyweds. We also loved they had a piano player who would play and sing songs usually with the entire restaurant in full voice.

Another favorite was Massa’s on the Grand. If you had the joy of Sterling escorting you to a table, you knew the night would be special. It eventually changed over to the Feasting Fox which brought another unique food profile to St. Louis.

Brazie’s and Once Upon a Vine will also elicit special memories and stories around the dinner table. We cannot thank our friends at these two restaurants enough for years of enjoyment, special meals, and friendly banter as regulars.

I know there are still great restaurants in The Lou, but I am feeling nostalgic this week. How about you? Any favorites places from your past?
