My daughter and son joined me to check out N2. I ordered the chop salad and the 10oz ribeye special. My daughter ordered the STL salad and the eggplant Parmesan. My son ordered the chop salad and the lamb chop special. We shared our salads and entrees so we could taste everything. The chop salad was awesome. The bacon and Gorgonzola cheese makes this salad. The STL salad was average. It was missing a punch. I think there wasn’t enough dressing or there wasn’t enough vinegar in the dressing. The lamb chops were incredible. They were cooked medium rare and they had a great crust on the outside and it was very tender. The mashed potatoes were as expected. The ribeye special was just ok. There was good flavor but it was chewy and it was cooked medium rare. It came with Brussels sprouts but I changed it to asparagus and it was cooked perfectly with great seasoning. We were wanting a more crispy eggplant experience but it was ok. Then we ordered 2 crème brûlées to share. They were below average. The custard wasn’t warm, parts of the caramelized sugar was burnt and it tasted burnt, the custard had a slight bitter taste, and strawberries on top had seen better days. My recommendation is to try the lamb chops or a fillet. Large convenient parking lot. Tom was our waiter and he was excellent. We sat in the dining room where the bar is and it got a little noisy at times. The lamb chops were $55 (well with it) and the 10oz ribeye special was $75 (not worth it) and the eggplant was...
Read moreThe picture I’ve included is the SECOND steak that was made for me after I received an overcooked steak. I wish I had a picture of the first steak because I NEVER send steaks back… I’m the person that would typically tough it out and chew on it till I had a headache… but considering the price of the special, I thought I’d say something. The server brought it back to the kitchen, a few minutes later I believe the kitchen manager came out, cut to the center of the steak and said “see, it’s medium, do you still want a different steak?” (Super unprofessional). Literally over an inch of the perimeter of the steak was cooked TOUGH with a slightly pink center… Everyone else at the table had great looking steaks and I was jealous. For all eight of us it was a dinner over $1,200.00. A steak “medium to medium rare” is how I phrased it. So, after 15 minutes or so they immaturely decide to give me this raw steak (as my punishment). I cut into the steak, saw it was raw and told the server “I’m just gonna go home and nuke this.” The steak was great after I cooked it to temperature in my air fryer… but the whole scenario was embarrassing and simply not worth over a thousand dollars. Won’t be coming back unless someone else is paying haha steaks made at home are...
Read moreI went here recently to enjoy some Italian food with friends. It’s located in town and country Crossing which is a big shopping complex on the western edge of town and country. The restaurant was easy to find and parking was plentiful. Inside the restaurant was full and I’m very glad that we had a seat out on the terrace we had some space. Fresh bread was provided on the table and we found the service to be excellent and very attentive. Dirty plates were quickly whisked away and ice water glasses rapidly filled. The waiter was very well versed with all the dishes and delivered the specials of the day flawlessly. I didn’t have anything too fancy and went with the toasted ravioli St. Louis special and linguine Marais. I was pleasantly surprised with the toasted ravioli particularly since it’s such a common dish around St. Louis it was well done and the sauce that came with it was excellent. Also the linguine was perfect, all the factors combined led to a really good evening. We hadn’t been out to restaurants much since Covid and I was a little shocked at the prices which were quite high in my opinion but then the service and food were high-quality as well sorry for a special occasion I wouldn’t hesitate to...
