| - St. Louis is nicely situated on Yonge north of Davisville. It has a great patio that always has a waiting list. The inside has lots of TVs, including a large-screen television, which strangely does not have any seating facing it. The menu features mainly wings and ribs. The wings were good, if a little oversauced, and the sauce I chose--hot and smoky--was as advertised. They have reasonable beer and wing combos, and the staff is friendly and young, and the female servers are all blonde and about twenty years old and, I think I can say, quite hot.
I'm scoring the restaurant two stars lower than I would have otherwise because the night my friends and I were there--a Friday night--a large contingent of rugrats, ages 3-12 or so, sat right behind us. Kids are kids, so I wasn't surprised that they were somewhat noisy, but I was surprised that these kids would be in a bar at 9 o'clock on a Friday. They bumped into me several times. They had the run of the place, playing tag, kicking the walls and furniture, shouting and rolling on the floor. The parents watched on and even encouraged them, which to me makes them not only poor parents but morons. The staff did nothing to stop this behaviour and merely walked between the kids, smiling. I suspect the parents are regulars. We stayed because we had a full pitcher, but otherwise we would have settled up immediately and walked out.
I will go back, but I won't go again if there are kids there at night and I'll lower the rating to one star. It's a bar, people. The adults all around are drinking and using foul language and watching often violent sports on TV. Some of them are even on the make. Leave your kids at home or take them to McDonald's, or better yet, put them to bed at a reasonable hour or call a babysitter.
