My wife treated me to a birthday dinner. We’ve always known of Al’s and finally booked a reservation. Incredible experience.... Fantastic service. Wonderful food. Great date night. Memorable birthday. Read more
Coming from New Jersey, the Italian food capital of the United States, I was skeptical but Al’s turned out to be phenomenal! I... got an 8 ounce fillet breaded and stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella, the meat cannellini app, and cinnamon ice cream. Theother three gentlemen in my party all got the 8 ounce fillet and 6 ounce lobster tail Oscar, which they raved about. We alsosplit chocolate cake, vanilla bean ice cream, and Spumante ice cream for dessert. Everything we had was outstanding. Gary was anamazing host and gave us a history of the place. He really made our dining experience that much better. Old school service withtop quality food. Read more
My wife and I had a premium steakhouse dinner in Hilton Head and I discovered she had never had this experience in STL so we... came here with my parents on my parents 59th anniversary. I hadn't been in 20 years. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Considering my wifeand I just ate at a comparable place weeks ago. The wine selection was good enough with a balance of selections. Thecocktails.... well my mom's peach martini was basically peach vodka. She's been drinking these for over 50 years... NEVERquestion the 70+ year old when they say their drink is wrong. Appetizers were ok...OK.... the lobster bisque was very much forlike tomatoe soup but got a little better at the bottom. One expects large portions and they did come thru on this fronthowever when a couple knows this they split a salad. In this situation the couple should not have to wait around for the secondplate. Actually at a restaurant of this caliber the salad should come presplit by the waitress. We are tipping her at least$100. It goes up as services impresses. Needless to say..... My petite steak was not as tender as it should be. Remember Ijust came from a high end steak house but weeks ago. A steak of the caliber should almost cut with a fork. My wife picked upand prepared better from Legrands. Dessert..... what huge disappointment. I could have bought better at the country grocerystore in St. Claire.... let's not even think about what I could have had from the hill. A cold chocolate moose cake that seemedto come straight out of the fridge. No thank you. I will say at these places I appreciate they leave the prices off themenu... or no menu. The place in Hilton Head listed prices and my wife refused to order even tho we could easily afford it. She is just too frugal. Hence I had to order for her. Read more
We went there for a birthday celebration. It has always been our family’s special event restaurant. Food was amazing as... always, we both had steak. The wait staff makes you feel like royalty. It’s expensive but worth it. I would count on about$200 per person, perhaps a bit more if you plan to drink cocktails and wine. Go you deserve it! Read more
I have to say I was extremely disappointed. The salad appeared to be made very early in the day and was soggy. The steak and... twice baked potato were extremely salty, almost inedible. My wife’s steak and lobster was drenched in sauce. The server waspleasant, but the concept is dated. No menus, you are shown the entrees on a tray—the only problem is that the tray iscovered in several layers of plastic wrap making it difficult to see. We did have a nice bottle of wine ($170), but our totalbill exceeded $500 for two people. I am giving two stars only because the server was very nice, the food was a one star. Read more
Wonderful historical building. A family owned restaurant for 4 generations. Delicious meal and a walk down the Italian family... tree with the staff. A must do if ever in St. Louis, Missouri. Read more
