Note to the numskull running this location: at wonderland (directly across the street), there is a 2 hour transition period where hungry, thirsty people have nowhere to go between the wonderland day hours and night time Halloween haunt.
We meandered over to St Louis thinking we'd have some apps, a few beers and dinner. But that would be too easy. The hostess was turning people away upon entry. I watched 40+ people leave because of an unclear reason given that they couldn't seat anyone at the many visible empty tables.
We just sat at an empty table and walked to the (not busy yet overwhelmed and very slow) bar to get beers. I've never seen such a poorly run operation - who is the floor manager? Fire this person right now. My cider was served with ice. We sat here for 45 mins, watched clueless servers standing around checking their phones and listened to angry patrons wonder where their food was and what was happening.
Joke! ' go somewhere else ' is the new unofficial slogan of St Louis.
They later cited the 'wonderland rush' as the reason why it was so slow but we saw all of those people leave.
