Always a great experience when we dine at Pan D’Olive! Can’t help myself and always order the Kofte when we come - you won’t be disappointed if you get this dish! My hubby got the Steak and Frites, which he thought was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was impeccable and our server, Sal, was so attentive. We will be back - one of our go-to’s before a show at the Fox.

We were really impressed with our first visit to The Mexican STL. It had been on our "visit" list since we saw the restaurant listed as a top new restaurant for 2026, and we were blown away. The decor is cool, the house music is fun, the food was fantastic, and our service was terrific, too! Our visit was on Halloween, so it was pretty neat that the wait staff got into the costumes as well. We'll definitely spread the word and bring friends next time around! :)

Was surprised that there were only two other occupied tables during my dinner visit because the food and prices were great! The chef came out to say hello and I asked him if he could make mashed potatoes with chicken picatta and he said he didn’t have them made yet so there might be an extra wait. Boy was it worth it!! Best chicken picatta ever! Drink prices during happy hour are very inexpensive.

Party of 5 had an outstanding experience. We were seated quickly and greeted warmly by staff. We were pleasantly surprised to learn of regularly offered all-day sushi-roll specials. Our group tried a wide range of rolls and nigiri - all were of outstanding quality. Our server was also outstanding: attentive, knowledgeable and affable. Street parking can be challenging (it’s Clayton, y’all), but there is a garage nearby if needed.

This is my third time eating at El Molino del Sureste. I've tried nearly everything on the menu and it's all so wonderful it's difficult choosing. The Tamal Colado is a fav and I crave their Castacan tacos. Highly recommend eating here.
