Diners who can’t get enough of Gerard Craft’s small shareable plates can find them in a cheery Italianesque café in Clayton, where the James Beard Award winner serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Ben Poremba and Tello Carreon introduce an elevated version of Mexican street food (with slightly elevated prices to match) in a bright, lively new restaurant (the former Old Standard) in Botanical Heights.
The metro area’s first cat café consists of a Maplewood café and lounge separated by a set of double doors. The reception has been overwhelming, and reservations are recommended.
The former Clayton Cardwell’s space now serves up Herbie’s menu (with tweaks) and an atmosphere that offers a cozier bar and those iconic French posters.
The local outpost of KISS rockers Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley’s successful rock-themed restaurant chain opened in early November in Chesterfield Valley.
