Idol Wolf at 21c St. Louis

This was fun! First of all, we are traveling with a dog and staying at the hotel- obviously, we knew we wouldn't be able to sit in the restaurant, so we asked if it would be ok to sit in the lobby with our pup and order from there. They said yes! We wouldn't be mad if it was not an option, and we are extremely grateful for the accommodation. Second, while gluten free options are not marked on the menu, they happily explained what I could or could not order. Had no issues afterwards! Third, the food and drinks was delicious. We started with carpaccio, loved it. Then one of the best patatas bravas I had, and gambas al ajillo that inspired us to finally learn to do it ourselves. The steak was great (although smaller than expected) and the cheescake was a perfect finish to it all. Overall, it was a great night and highly recommended!

Love the vibe of this place! Came for a friend’s birthday and we all enjoyed the experience. Serving sizes are pretty small though, we had to order another plate after putting our first order in after realizing this. It was fun to walk around and look at the art afterwards. I would highly recommend giving this place a try. And great photo opps too!

Food was great. Upscale tapas at a reasonable price. Great selection of tequilas. Servers were very attentive. Atmosphere was pretty mellow.

Came to see the art exhibit for date night and decided to stop in. The ambiance is warm and inviting and you get enjoy glimpses of the vast art displayed. We ordered the Chicken Caesar and Hen of the Woods for starters which were both pleasant dishes. I didn’t particularly care for how the butter over powers the masa cake and makes it soggy. Our entrees took quite a while to come out to the point we almost decided to leave and just pay for what we had already eaten. The manager did come out and explain the delay and gave us a desert to make up for it however it doesn’t compensate for the sub par service by our waiter. He was less than attentive and seemed more preoccupied with the dinners in the back room. We had to flag him down several times to get refills. When we asked on the status of our food brushed us off and said it’s coming as he scurried off through the back door. Honestly the wait staff just ruined what would have otherwise been a great dinning experience now I just feel like I paid $150 to be ignored.

Idol Wolf is has a wonderful array of tapas and other delicious appetizers. The new vanilla basque cheesecake is also scrumptious. However, the main dish we had was vastly overpriced and sadly forgettable. This place has some great flavors but for the most part you will be paying for a slightly more pricy experience than what it should be. Granted, valet parking is included and the hotel has a beautiful museum and aesthetic.
