Carondelet Kitchen

High Expectations Meets High Anxiety

The pandemic has created so many issues for many people. I am sure like many of you, outings to restaurants have been mostly take-out, especially when we were at the height of the pandemic. We felt strongly we needed to support our friends who work in the restaurant industry even if we were not comfortable sitting inside for our meal, so carry out was a frequent occurrence here in the Carondelet Kitchen.

As Omicron is starting to diminish, Big Guy and I felt like we could try to return to restaurant dining.  I started to think about it and wondered if my past expectations would be overshadowed by our new reality of high anxiety as we started to rejoin the world. We enjoyed visiting restaurants again.  Trying a new restaurant and revisiting an old friend.  The food at both restaurants was excellent but the experience at Eleven-Eleven Mississippi was perfection!



What a pleasure to revisit an old favorite and have the experience surpass any pre-conceived notions.  Service, atmosphere, food, wine, everything was fantastic.  We are looking forward to our next visit and returning to the great dining scene that Saint Louis offers.  Saint Louis is blessed with amazing restaurants of world-class quality.  You just may see this super cool old couple sitting at a table near you the next time you visit one of Saint Louis' great restaurants!
