All the food was excellent! I had the lobster turnover appetizer, house salad, beignets (the best restaurant bread & honey butter!), filet and dark chocolate turtle brownie with ice cream. Also, the restaurant donated a portion of all proceeds for the day to my favorite non-profit…Pedal the Cause!

Great food and drink with a funky vibe. The tamales with chorizo and broccolini were a standout dish.

I love the Mariposa room. I have celebrated so many happy occasions there. I had a special birthday party there, given showers and attended other events there. Buffy, one of the wait staff, and Neil are wonderful and attentive. I have been taking my special nieces there for lunch since they were young. We love the soup and popovers too. It always feels special to dine there.

A Fantastic Happy Hour Experience! 10/10 Recommend! We had such a wonderful experience at Clydesdale in St. Louis! From the service to the food and drinks, everything was excellent. We stopped in for happy hour and were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Drinks we enjoyed: * Cosmopolitan – Vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime. * Limoncello Drop – Vodka, lemon sour, and limoncello. * Lavender Hugo Spritz – Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, elderflower, mint, and prosecco. Each drink was delicious, refreshing, and beautifully enjoyable! Food we tried: * PEI Mussels – Coconut, green curry, and grilled bread. So flavorful! * Smoked Trout Dip – Cucumber, pickled mustard seed, and fried saltines. A delicious combination. * Village Smash – 3oz Wagyu blend patty, American cheese, B&B pickles, potato roll, and secret sauce. Absolutely worth trying! Everything was super tasty, and the happy hour offerings made the experience even better. What stood out just as much as the food and drinks was the hospitality. The manager and staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. It’s always refreshing to experience a place where the quality of the food is matched by the quality of the service. 10/10 recommend. We’ll absolutely be back!
