St. Louis restaurant openings, closings, and coming soons: July 2019

The "ins, outs, and almosts" in metro St. Louis for July 2019

by

The following list is accurate as of a late July press date. A condensed version will be published in SLM's September 2019 issue.

Editor's Note: The closing of Reeds was a real loss, as it was a top local restaurant in our book. And it was a quick entry and exit for Fox Fire in the Loop, which closed after sputtering for the last month of its three month run. Meanwhile, July was a relatively benign month for first location openings, the standout being Alta Calle, where Tello Carréon and Steve Suarez are turning out some of the most beautiful and flavorful dishes so far this year.
