"This seafood restaurant in Kirkwood has the exact right amount of nautical decor (a large mural of a ship at sea with tentacles curling up the side) without venturing into tacky seaside tourist attraction territory. So The Argonaut works as both a fancy-adjacent night out (which is a change of pace for the very casual neighborhood) and a place to grab a superb seafood dinner. The oysters are fresh, slurpable, and plentiful with an imported selection that range from sweet to briny. And the spicy blackened grouper sandwich on a buttery challah bun rivals our favorite from Fishmonger." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
