Milagro Modern Mexican will be closing in Webster Groves on March 24 (and hopefully relocating). Their popular take on shrimp and grits (jumbo shrimp sautéed in a chile de arbol sauce, with green chile goat cheese grits and street corn “off the cob”) is available until then.
The following list is accurate as of a late February press date. A condensed version will be published in SLM's April 2018 issue.
Editor's Note: This month, Pi Pizzeria's popular location in Kirkwood reluctantly closed its doors, but may relocate; Vernon's BBQ also closed and likely won't. On the upside, February marked the opening of a Ugandan restaurant (Simba Ugandan Cuisine), the city's first cider works (Brick River Cider Co.), the city's first upscale Asian-style karaoke lounge (W Karaoke Lounge), and a franchise brewpub with 100 craft beers on tap (Growler USA).
Additions and updates are in boldface.
