Our family is going to be stuck in St. Louis this weekend, and dinner reservations are on me. The hitch is that this Sunday is Easter, so I need a big list of recommendations to go through. Normally I’d just look up a Top 10 list of Italian restaurants on The Hill, but my wife doesn’t like Italian food 
!
I’m looking for something slightly upscale, but relatively tolerant of 3 small children. Thanks in advance! (We’re staying on the western side of St. Louis.)
Hmm… I live in the area and have small kids, but we tend to either do “upscale” as a couple or take the kids, not both. Here are some ideas you could consider:
Annie Gunn’s - Steakhouse in Chesterfield
The Tavern Kitchen & Bar - Seafood, steak, etc
These are both definitely on the “upscale” end, but I have seen kids in both (not sure how small…). It could be hard to get a reservation at this point. If you are thinking a bit more casual, I can probably come up with some ideas in that area too - that’s more in our wheelhouse.
If Mexican is your thing, Mission Taco Joint is definitely fun (the one in Kirkwood has an arcade) and kid-friendly.
If you have a specific cuisine in mind let me know, I probably have a recommendation or can get one.
You probably would have had trouble finding an open restaurant on the Hill on Easter Sunday anyway.
A quick glance at some of our favorite places tells me they’re closed too.
This was a very helpful post.
Ha - I found a restaurant open for dinner and got a reservation, now I’m just worried that we’ll run into some timezone-shifted behavioral issues. Oh well - they’re normally well-behaved kids, so it won’t be too bad.
Thanks for the recs.
