The 37 Best Restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri

"Craig and Mowgli Rivard worked together in a series of Brooklyn restaurants before the couple returned to Craig’s hometown to open this small neighborhood dinner spot in winter 2019. It has since become a place for outdoor gatherings on the large patio and a go-to for a growing crowd of regulars who stop by for specials like a chopped cheese, which somehow feels nostalgic even for people who have never tasted one. Elsewhere on the menu, French, Spanish, and Italian influences come together in dishes dictated by the seasons, such as crispy blowfish tail with squid ink romesco and Calabrian chile crunch. The bar program, led by Dakota Cortez, serves a perfect martini." - Holly Fann, Joel Crespo

The 32 Essential St. Louis Restaurants

"You know you’re getting close to Little Fox when you see a fire hydrant painted with a cheeky, little orange fox. The restaurant comes from Craig and Mowgli Rivard, two of a growing number of chefs and restaurateurs leaving jobs at esteemed restaurants in cities like New York and LA to open their own places in smaller, mid-sized cities. Early on, Little Fox established itself as a neighborhood restaurant providing easy, gracious service and offering deceptively simple dishes. Delicata squash is gently wrapped in a pale golden batter, reminiscent of traditional South Korean crispy fried sweet potatoes. Tender short ribs, barely clinging to the bone, get a luxurious treatment with Calabrian chili, Italian fish sauce, and grilled leeks and celery root. Little Fox is also the only restaurant in St. Louis currently offering an exclusively natural wine list." - Holly Fann

Little Fox is my favorite restaurant to visit every time I come back home to the Lou. Their bar staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive to any allergies that you may have to both food and cocktails. I highly recommend the jammy eggs at their brunch service, and their Duck for dinner. Their wine selection is extremely diverse and their craft cocktails are fantastic. They knock the ball out of the park every time I dine with them!

Super fun place, would definitely recommend. The food was delicious, would recommend the steak, scallops and the sticky pudding... would not recommend the squash dessert however, it was definitely an acquired taste that I haven't acquired 😂 Oh the cocktails...super fun! We tried 6 or 7 different ones and a house wine... all were interesting and delicious.

💕’d Little Fox! Modern setting, friendly team serving delicious food with an extensive wine list. My 1st visit.. far exceeding expectations. Counter seating great for singles.

Service was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. Cocktails were great across the board. Would recommend the Little Fox Martini or the Fox Trot. The Chocolate Tart was great. The croquetas, crudo, and chicory salad were just okay. The French onion soup with bone marrow was excellent. Brenna was also an excellent server from start to finish. Extremely knowledgeable and attentive.

Incredible experience at Little Fox! The food was top notch — we loved the crispy green tomatoes, cavatelli, sea bass, and especially the perfectly cooked chicken. The chicken deserves a special mention — it’s often a gamble at restaurants, but here it was perfectly cooked, moist, and full of flavor. The sea bass was just as well prepared and absolutely delicious. Even the pickiest eater in our group gave them a thumbs up — every bite was a hit. 🍸🍹 Cocktails were fantastic — our group’s faves were the Wild Thing, Two Seater, and Her Name Was Lola. Huge shoutout to the amazing bartender and attentive service overall. Perfect spot for a special night out. Can’t wait to come back for brunch!

Went here for NYE, they were offering a dry-aged steak on the specialized curated menu. Ordered both the special dinner dry-aged and normal one on the regular dinner menu. Both tasted identical...$36 dollars for regular menu item, Dry-aged priced at $75 with "frites" and a complimentary sauce as the side. Frites were so skinny /skimpy you could not eat them as an actual fry, smaller than fried onion crisps and the steaks tasted EXACTLY THE SAME. We were disappointed, mentioned it to the server that the steaks tasted the same. The manager came over and her comment was.... "Typically dry-aged steaks are aged for 18 days, this one was aged for 6 days". AKA telling us it was not a good quality and still up-charged $39 more with fires that were not truly a side dish. Dry-aged steaks are at their prime by 30 days FYI, not 18. Our female server continually kept pushing us to order more food for our group of 6 when we each still had gotten our own entree. No birthday desserts are provided, so don't expect to ask for one as complimentary even if you spend $600+ here. Extremely disappointed and was very much looking forward to a great experience here. Food quality/service seems to not be top of mine here..

We enjoyed a delicious dinner with several courses from the snacks, small plates, and entrees sections of the menu. The short rib tasted amazing with the perfect amount of spice. Both crispy artichokes and green tomatoes had the perfect amount of crunch and flavor. Everything about our first Little Fox experience exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to return for another meal.

The atmosphere is great, however the interior is all hard surfaces so there’s no sound absorption resulting in a noisy atmosphere. The food was mostly on point and delicious. The Short Ribs were to die for. Very well executed. The coating on the fried green tomatoes coating was bland and lacked any flavor. I’m all for letting the tomato speak for themselves. The Scallops were on the small side but well executed.

W O W !!!!!! Haven't enjoyed a meal out this much in awhile. Parking...easy. There's a lot across the street. Ambiance was lovely. Very open... we liked we weren't jammed too close to others. We could see chefs preparing food from our table. Noticeably clean. Server was Brenna. She clearly explained the food and menu format and was paying attention without hovering. So, thank you Brenna. OMG the spring greens soup. Who would ever have thought I'd wake up the next day haunted by a few spoonfuls of soup. I did, and I am. Our table ordered the steak, the bass and the pasta. Previously I loved the pork chop. I think next time we go I'll focus on the small plates. Oh, the desserts we shared were the blueberry cake and the chocolate tart. BOTH were incredible. One other comment I have is that there's something on the menu for everyone. If you haven't dined here, GO, TREAT YOURSELF. You will not be disappointed. Thanks to all who make Little Fox one of st Louis' best restaurants. Maybe THE BEST right now.

Little fox is located at the heart of fox park st. louis. It's a cozy little vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. While the menu is relatively approachable and the drinks try to pair well with the food. The experience was a bit underwhelming. Curiously enough, the churros were under fried while the artichoke hearts carried more fry than flavor. I think more than anything was how exhausting long the service took. We spent more time waiting for anything to hit the table than actually eating. While some level of detail was taken in the crafting the menu, little attention is given to tableside service.

Little Fox is a must visit! Have done dinner and brunch here and recommend a stop in for both. Light and bright ambiance but have to admit that the seating isn't the comfiest. The booth seating is very upright but isn't enough to detract from the yummy experience. Love the shareable small plates, things change seasonally so if you see something that looks good try it! Service has been great every time, timely without hovering. Potato churros are a must order for us every time we are in for dinner...perfectly crispy with a rich flavor. The cavatelli pasta this visit is also a strong recommendation. Both times we have had pasta here, it has been stellar!

My partner surprised me with a birthday dinner at Little Fox and I would 100%. The staff is incredible-- warm, welcoming and extremely helpful! We ordered two cocktails the Wild Thing and Weekend Away both were great. We settled on small plates to share and ordered the following: Snacks: Potato Churros, Ndujah Croquettes The potato churros were perfectly crispy and airy. The Croquettes were decadent and flavorful. Small Plates: Gem Salad (fresh, herby and delicious!), carne cruda (light, mustardy) mussels (broth was delicious and such a big fan of the crusty buttered bread) and cavatelli (such a great pasta dish that I kept coming back to). Dessert: Chocolate Olive Oil Tart (to die for and the perfect end to our meal). We loved the space and being able to see the kitchen work. Incredible experience

We really love it here. Always consistently good service, deliciously flavorful and unique food options. Ambiance is perfect for a date night & we LOVE their little patio setup!! I wish they would let you reserve spots for the patio but I understand so just make sure you get there early to put your name in! This time we tried the pork chop which was honestly cooked to absolute perfection!! I would def order this again. We got our two staple items which are the flat iron steak and the sea scallops. Both so yummy! For dessert we tried their semifredo which we did NOT regret ordering!! Think and elevated strawberry shortcake but subtle cherry flavor with a cookie "crust".

Little fox was very good. It's a nice place to go for special occasions. My favorites were the mushrooms which were very tender and flavorful as well as the steak. The steak was cooked perfectly. We also got the blueberry dessert which had a crumble on the bottom which was unfortunately too salty for me but otherwise would go back and try more dishes!

I had been wanting to go to Little Fox for a long time with it having so many accolades. Overall the food was good, but felt overpriced. Would return again for some items you can't get anywhere else in St Louis Tried: so much stuff - shared a bunch of plates which I recommend doing Loved: beef tartare, potato churros Liked: the service was okay but could be more helpful. The mocktails were good but overpriced

Little Fox was such a nice place with some pros and cons. It's cute, intimate, and neutral but modern. In between casual and upscale. I thought the tables were a lot uncomfortably close together when it got busy and the acoustics weren't great for a crowded room - it was difficult to hear each other from across the table. The food was so good. I was surprised that there were so many quality vegetarian options. The cavatelli was my favorite. It was very expensive but I'd go back for a special occasion during a less popular time.

We were led here by the phenomenal reviews, and they did not disappoint. Dishes ranged from very good to outstanding, ranking them in order of favorites. Cavatelli: probably my favorite dish, rich without being too heavy handed on the cream, with a nutty topping that balanced it out well. Trumpet mushrooms: great texture, not oily, perfect preparation. Short ribs: good flavor, smallish portion, nice flavor to sauce. Good texture. Snack cannellini beans--great crunch and the perfect starter. Straciatella: pretty good but nothing exceptional, probably my least favorite dish Wine: tropical nosed sparkler from Italy. Really enjoyed this and at a good price point of ~$50/btl.

I have heard so many amazing reviews about this restaurant and I finally was able to go for brunch this past weekend. It did not disappoint! The restaurant is tucked into a corner of a neighborhood. Street parking was very plentiful and easy to find. There were indoor and patio seating, so I can't wait to come back for an outdoor brunch. The inside had a nice casual vibe with an open kitchen. I've always said the way I judge a brunch place is if they have freshly squeezed orange juice. Little Fox passed the test. We started with the Oeufs et Mayo mainly because I usually can't say no to anything that resembles a deviled egg. That plate was empty in less than a minute. For the main dishes we got the Smoked Trout Hash and Braised Short Rib Sandwich, with the crispy fingerling potatoes and housemade spam. The hash was good, but it was about 90% potatoes and 10% trout. Although that 10% was outstanding. The Short rib sandwich was the winner here. Both sides were good, but nothing too special. Overall, Little Fox lived up to the hype. The brunch menu was excellent and I cannot wait to return to explore the dinner options! Oeufs et Mayo: 5/5 Smoked Trout Hash: 2/5 Braised Short Rib Sandwich: 5/5 Potatoes and Spam: 3/5 Orange Juice: Freshly Squeezed

Aaaaaand it's a GREAT place for brunch! Delicious food, attentive service, and THE place to be!!! A bit loud, but they keep the seating at no more than 6, so that helps with hearing each other.

First time dining at Little Fox and we had an incredible time. No shortage of great small plates to start with but the server graciously helped us land on land on the crostino. Next we had the trumpet mushrooms (highlight of the meal) and the cavatelli (not too heavy but incredibly filling). We wrapped it up with the flatiron steak and was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We sat out on the patio which was perfect for a cool summer night. Highly recommend!

I brought my mom to Little Fox as a gift this week! It was both of our first times there and we had heard great things. First, the service was great. It got a bit slower when the restaurant was busy, but our server was really nice and helpful. We also were sat near the kitchen which is open, so we could see them cooking some, which I love! For drinks, I got the Fox Trot and the Pomona and my mom got the cigar lounge. We loved every drink - they were all SO unique and had so many flavors, and I liked that they were fairly strong. We split a number of things for food. Potato churros were so light and delicious and the sauce was amazing. The short ribs were also delicious and I loved the spice on them! The mussels were the least impressive thing we tried - they were okay but nothing special. Bread was delicious though with them! We also got the pork chop - would highly recommend! Perfectly cooked and the seasoning was so so so good! Normally I don't get dessert but after looking at the menu, we decided on the sticky toffee pudding (which hand not been on the menu online so it was a nice surprise)! I thought maybe it would be dense and we would need to take some home.. absolutely wrong. It was probably the best thing we ate all night - absolutely PERFECT, super light and delicious and the flavor was amazing. Do NOT skip dessert here! I can't wait to come back!!

We made reservations and it was very seamless. We did get there a little earlier but we got seated right away. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and suggested some things to order. We ordered 'Nduja Croquetas, Short Ribs, Royal Trumpet Mushrooms, Crispy Green Tomatoes, and Cavatelli Trapanese. We ordered a dessert, semifreddo. We thought the food was delicious especially the royal trumpet mushrooms and cavatelli trapanese. We didn't really care for the short ribs. We had a good experience and would definitely be back. They do change their menu.

Who knew? I went to a brunch with friends at this restaurant on Shenandoah. I had never heard of it until then. Cute little diner and they were hopping on a Sunday at 11am. We had made reservations ahead of time and were seated right away. I was excited to see a version of one of my favorite Bourbon drinks was in the cocktail menu Little Fox calls it the Yellow Jacket. Bourbon, Hot Honey, Blood Orange and Fire Bitters. Not too hot to sip. Warms you up! For brunch I ordered the Waffle and Lox which was delicious and beautifully served. Then we ordered two desserts to share. Yum! Great service and we had a great time. I highly recommend the brunch!

Our first time here. The service was great; very attentive without hovering. The menu has something for everyone and enjoyed everything. The crispy artichokes were a bit fibrous and the "chokes" were not removed, probably wouldn't order again. Fried green tomatoes were good but could have used salt. The mushrooms were the standout. If you like mushrooms this is a must have; they are AMAZING. The bass was great as well as the duck. I ordered the duck medium rare but it came out medium but was still exceptional in flavor. The fat was rendered and crispy (yum). The chocolate tart was outstanding and paired well with their coffee. Can't wait to return for the steak.

We came for brunch, so this review is based on that experience--though we were told they also serve dinner. For brunch, the food was genuinely impressive. Despite standard portion sizes, everything felt indulgent and satisfying. My steak was cooked beautifully and paired perfectly with the chimichurri sauce--it was definitely a standout dish. The overall setting also made it a great spot for an aesthetic girls' brunch or even a date night. Bonus points for being on Resy--it made reserving a table much easier compared to other popular brunch spots in St. Louis.

I have dined here three times now and it's always been a great experience. food is always good and best beef tartare in town ! I would come back just for that, but also, their short rib was delicious. I recommend ordering few diff plates all at once, they kind of bring out in order of which they want you to enjoy, so thoughtful. drinks were amazing here as well and great wine selection too. cute patio! on a nice sunny day their patio is always popping reservation is recommended but not required!

Took my mom when she came to visit and it was incredible!! Everything we ordered was a recommendation from our server. Our favorites were the bolognese pasta, pork chop, and mushrooms but I would order everything again. You have to eat family style here to try everything! Drinks were also excellent and not too sweet. There are very limited seats so would recommend early reservations.

My experience for a Saturday brunch is enjoyable. Food and service are both top-notch. The menu has great variety. We enjoy everything we ordered. I love the smoked trout hash and the pork & grits very much. As far as ambience, it's a little noisy but still very comfortable to talk and enjoy the food. 100% I'd come back. Highly recommend Little Fox for brunch.

Beautiful spot quick walk in seating for patio on a Saturday evening. Took our toddler to the park while waiting worked well. Drinks were great and refreshing service was quick and attentive. We tried artichoke crisp, croquettes, Crudo, pasta , ribs and mushroom dish . Mushrooms , crisp , ribs and croquettes which stood out with its robust flavors! Loved it and will be back!

We live just a few minutes from here and this spot has been on my list FOREVER. I'm so glad we finally tried it, it will definitely be on the rotation. This is the spot for sharing. Sure, they have entrees (and they're fantastic) but this is a spot I would bring a couple friends and would love to split all the snacks and small plates with! Everything looks SO good it was hard to choose what we wanted to try. We ended up with the croquetas, trumpet mushrooms, artichokes, and flat iron steak. My husband said it was the perfect amount to not get too full it makes you feel sick. I wish I could figure out how they make the artichokes, so perfect and crispy. The sauces all paired so well. The steak was cooked to perfection. And we decided we could eat 100 croquetas. Service was fantastic all night and I was so happy to see they served orange wines. Such a fantastic experience, there's a reason they're so highly rated in St. Louis.

Brandon our waiter set the mood with a quick smile and plenty of knowledge about the food. This was my first time here but it will not be the last. We started with mock tails that were inventive and fried artichokes with verde sauce while we went through the menu. They were delicious with and with out the sauce. The menu was obviously taking their craft seriously. My partner had the mussels that were small and delicious with house made bread and a delicious broth for dipping it in. I had the duck breast that was perfectly cooked on delicious asparagus with gigantic beans ie, fava beans I believe in a surprisingly light broth that was brilliant. The wine list was moderately priced with some seriously delicious selections available. The patio is first come first served the tables inside are reservations. It is intimate but not crowded a great evening out from start to finish. Overall the price was well worth the experience.

Little Fox is a cute little gem in fox park with a great patio and a very gorgeous dining area. If you sit in one side of the restaurant, you get to see right into the open kitchen. If you sit in the bar side you will be by the gorgeous bar and intimate lighting throughout. I was very happy with the drink menu, it was very unique with tons of liquors I've never heard of. I also had a glass of wine which is on the pricier side and was disappointed to have barely got any in my glass. The apps were super delish and the flavors were unique. Beans on toast? SO GOOD. Our main dishes were pretty good but I was not blown away for the price point. The pasta was light and fresh. The pork chops were fatty and a bit too chewy. The steak was amazing!!! Overall, this is such a cute intimate place was high quality drinks and good eats. I'd love to come back for brunch!

My number one gripe is that it took me SO LONG to finally get to little fox. Not completely my fault, as reservations are definitely decently hard to snag unless you're planning well in advance or go early in the week which we did. The spot is absolutely beautiful. Definitely will need to go back and sit at the bar. Love the open kitchen as well. The staff is all incredible, and super attentive. I absolutely love any time a restaurant recommends ordering your dishes all at once. It means they are being super intentional in what order you eat what, and making sure the last dish compliments the next. We started with the crispy artichokes and pancetta costino, which were fantastic. We also had the carne cruda, mussels, bone marrow and onion soup, and bolognese Bianco. Everything was superb, but the cruda and bolognese were especially good! The cocktails were well crafted as well, and I was delighted to see the Bartlett which featured aquavit! One of my favorites! Can't wait to go back and try the brunch menu, their dinner plates, and more cocktails! Such a cute spot that does everything well!

Overall the dining experience was good. The food and drinks were great (especially the mushroom dish). The location is wonderful for us. The atmosphere is nice. I like the decor and lighting. The patio looks like a great place to sit. This place comes highly rated and we were very excited to try it. The only issue is the menu description for the succotash dish. It comes with salmon but the word salmon is not in the description. I thought it was a vegetarian dish. I told the server, I don't eat meat and maybe she just assumed land animals. But the night wasn't ruined, I ate my boyfriend's potatoes and veggies and he had my salmon.

We made a reservation at 6pm and were seated immediately as we arrived. I noticed that every seat at the bar was full, and most tables were occupied - although I thought WE were the early birds to dinner service! Lovely, vibrant space. Attentive service. And outstanding food. Would definitely come back for happy hour or casual date night!

#brunch at Little Fox in Fox Park is just amazing! Little Fox in adorable Fox Park, St. Louis, captivates with their new brunch. Their cocktail game has always been top notch so their brunch cocktails are no different. The Top Hat and Good Morning Manhattan, cold brew concoctions with a boozy twist, set a festive brunchy tone. Indulge in a waffle and lox masterpiece featuring beet-cured salmon and a lively frisee-arugula salad . That's right! The expanded bread menu, with Pullman bread egg sandwich and French toast sticks, adds a comforting indulgent touch. Mowgli and Craig Rivard craft a unique dining experience, blending NYC, Italian, and Californian influences. Little Fox breathes fresh life into Italian cuisine with inventive dishes. Your last task is to scoop some friends so you can try as many dishes as possible!

This place is a hidden gem! I came here for dinner with a friend, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was fast and attentive to our table, and with every food that we ordered, we finished everything and left no crumbs! What we ordered for our table were: -Njuda Croquettas -Stracciatella (I highly recommend this for an appetizer. It was so, so good) -Flat Iron Steak (It was good, but it is a small plate for me, so I ordered another entree) -Pork Chop (Great addition on top of flat iron steak! Juicy and delicious) -Olive Oil Chocolate Tart (This was okay; if you like dark chocolate, you can order this!) -Sticky Toffee Pudding (I highly recommend this dessert. I finish it in less than 2 minutes! So delicious) The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. I love the interior design. It is sleek, modern, and inviting.

We came here on a Friday evening, as there were openings on the patio, for Mother's Day! We were seated promptly for our reservation, the waitress was knowledgeable about menu items and made good recommendations! Another five star visit, we love coming here and always recommend to anyone we talk to about food spots in STL. Must try! I got the herb cavateli again as there aren't a ton of vegetarian options for dinner.

I cannot stop thinking about how good brunch was here . I ordered the braised short rib sandwich and substituted the fingerling potatoes in place of the escarole salad it came with. They used union loafers bread and it was the perfect texture and thickness. Definitely not a dry or boring sandwich. Also, pictured is the fried green tomatoes Benedict. It was very tasty and light as it didn't come with the normal English muffin. Our server was attentive and knew the menu in great detail. Make sure you check out this cute place and I can't wait to go back to sit on the patio.

Little Fox is such a gem! It's one of my Go to brunch spots I went for a girls day and also my birthday this year and it didn't disappoint. The service is always wonderful and we got seated quickly. All the food has been good my favorite is the pork and grits and the eggs Benedict! My number one goes to the Italian Benedict- polenta cakes, poached eggs, salami rossa, chive, parmesan hollandaise, arugula salad.. 2nd runner up is Pork & Grits- Newman Farm pork, white cheddar grits, sunny side up egg, crispy shallot!! YUMMMM Their cocktails are both authentically pleasing and delicious! You won't be disappointed by this cute spot!

Our dinner at Little Fox was like a rollercoaster for our taste buds, and a blow to our wallet. However, I wasn't paying so I happily chowed down without hesitation because it was quite delicious. Short Ribs: These short ribs weren't playing around! The Calabrian chili and Italian fish sauce combo brought the heat and umami. It actually reminded me a bit of Vietnamese cuisine, and some flavors eliciting core memories in my mind. The meat texture itself was the perfect amount of toothsome, like what you would expect from LA Galbi short ribs (which you would normally get from Korean bbq). Bolognese Bianco: Little Fox took the classic Bolognese and gave it a makeover. I think it all of the flavors were very complex and delicious, but it was a wee bit too salty for me (and I normally like things very salty). The people I was enjoying the meal with agreed. Perhaps not for you if you don't like it too salty. Flatiron Steak: The steak was delicious, and because it was thicker on one side compared to the other, the cook had something for everyone. From rare to medium, you had it all. Definitely a good-sharing dish lovers, you're in for a treat. Crispy potatoes were decent, but nothing to write home about. Pan Roasted Cod: Personally, I thought this was my favorite dish (and normally I like my meats from the land). This dish is like a seaside getaway on a plate. The pan-roasted fish is flaky and tender, and the sweet corn succotash is a burst of sweetness. Grilled fairytale eggplant adds a smoky twist. All of the flavors melded together with a great sauce-like consistency which complemented the fish well. Overall, I really liked this dish, and I think fish-lovers would like this even more than I did. In a nutshell, Little Fox is an upscale place, that could be good for a date night. While a bit pricy, it may be good to try it at least once. 4/5 stars.

Holy cow, what a great meal. The wife and I went with another couple and shared a whole bunch of plates. We started with the fried artichokes. Excellent! Then came the celeriac salad. Excellent! Stracciatella. Amazing! Carne cruda. Awesome. Herb cavatelli. My favorite dish. Flatiron steak. Medium rare. Great. Margret duck breast. Good. The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks were creative and well executed. Gorgeous night out, jealous of everyone on patio.

This place is the quintessential St. Louis dining experience. A small, dimly lit, intimate lounge nestled on a quiet corner. You are seated almost adjacent to your neighbors. With your first step inside, you feel the community and you feel the belonging. We came on a double date and we were wowed. The potato churros were out of this world. I have never had a potato so light and airy while still maintaining such incredible crispiness. Plus, the tangy aioli (I think?) that accompanied them was insane. Unashamedly, yes I did scrape the last bits of it with my finger. The cavatelli was amazing. So light, which seems weird to say because it is a pasta dish. The veggies inside created a freshness words cannot adequately articulate. It was bursting with flavor. The light cream sauce to accompany balanced everything out by roping in some slight acidity. The star of the show? The flat iron steak. Cooked to a perfect medium rare with chunks of flaky salt to draw out every ounce of flavor. I do not know how they did it, but these potatoes had the same crispiness, I wish it came with more. Oh, and the broccolini is no after thought. Hearty, salty, and basted in a tomato sauce that could win over even the most adverse vegetable eaters. Of course, do not count out the cocktails. Little Fox holds a special place in my heart for having a welcoming selection of mezcal based drinks. Persephone was my favorite. Smoky, sweet, and boozy. Need I say more? Our service was superb. We were invited in and treated like family. She was so kind, attentive, and gave some great recommendations. Date nights, celebrations, business, no matter the occasion, Little Fox is the place to be to add ambience, service, and great eats to any occasion.

Loved this restaurant! It's been on my list for several months to try and I am glad I finally made it. Wine list choices were plentiful and I loved their salads. We got lots of small plates and shared those and then one main meal instead of two, to allow us to try more things. We went with the steak which was delicious! This is a very easy place to park as it's located in a residential area. Staff is super helpful and friendly!

Sat outside in the sweet summer patio. Nice shade and good music in the back. Big appeal is the drink menu. I ordered the Moon Giant a gin drink that is freaks and vegital- my friend ordered the Cab Fare with a clarified milk tropical rum drink. Perfect for a summer evening. We had a nice view of Fox Park, the food was more than excellent! Crispy Artichokes were really nice and the perfect start. Stracciatella was my favorite as it had all the taste of summer! My friend had Half Chicken which she said the olives and the cabbage were such a delightful combination I think it gave her good dreams for weeks thinking about it! I loved the olive oil cake for dessert and can't wait to go back!!

Atmosphere was pretty neat, and food was excellently flavored in my opinion. Plating/presentation of dishes was also done well. You are offered a choice of still or sparkling water when you are seated. The sparkling comes in the same bottle as the still, but with a cork lid to help keep the fizz. What was great about this is that there's no upcharge, and they keep replacing it! I'm sure it's just from their drink fountain or something, but still nice. I've been to other places where they charge you $5 or whatever for a single inhouse bottle and don't bother to tell you that it's an extra charge. Server was very nice and pleasant. Other staff did a great job replacing water bottle, cleaning plates, etc. These things were all great. But the "snacks" (appetizers) were ridiculously skimpy for the price point. I realize that appetizers are generally overpriced and likely a money maker for restaurants, but there's a limit of decency. I thought this also applied to some of the small plates, too. I mean, $5.33 per prawn for a three prawn plate is a bit... Food was also quite rich. That's not a bad thing, but there was nothing to cut the richness. Our one exception was that the prawns came topped with a pile of shoestring potatoes. The other plates/dishes, not so much. An option for bread service or something would have helped.

We finally got to try Little Fox. They were booked out for a few weeks so we made a reservation to try it out.We were pleasantly surprised by the food and the drinks. It explained why the place was so booked up! Their menu has shareable portions and larger entrees, making it perfect for large & small groups. We started with the 'Nduja croquetas and the Royal trumpet mushrooms. The croquetas were crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. Highly recommend it. The mushrooms were very unique as well. They were grilled perfectly. We tried the short ribs and the Pan seared Cod. The chili paste on the short ribs had a good spice kick to it. The cod was lovely too. The sweet corn with the cod elevated the flavors. For dessert, we had the semifreddo. It was a perfect balance of fruit without being too sweet. For drinks, we tried the Cab Fare, Prospect Park & Persephone. All three drinks were excellent but my favorite was Cab fare. The service was great too. Our server, Chad, was attentive and prompt throughout our dinner.This restaurant is definitely a must try if you are in St Louis!

Such a delight of a place for dining! The space is clean, modern, not a super loud place where you can enjoy an excellent dining experience from. With great reviews on Yelp, I had to book us a reservation. The service, first of all, was fantastic from the moment we were seated to the very end of our meal. They had such amazing hospitality that did not leave us feeling like we were ever a bother. We started with some drinks, our waitress was kind enough to leave us alone for a few minutes to decide on what we are going to have. We started with some crispy artichokes which were out of this world! I didn't know artichokes could taste so good. We also shared some short ribs which were very tasty. My husband and I both highly approved. Then for my main entree, I chose the pan roasted cod over spring vegetable ragout, regular and ramp pesto. My dish was so good and the serving was enough that I was able to take home my leftovers and had it the next day for lunch. Of course, no Friday night meal is complete without dessert. We shared the semifreddo which is a frozen dessert akin to an ice cream with a mousse-like and cakey texture. It blew my mind! The sbrisolona crumble was a fantastic finish on top giving the dessert a bit of a crunch. I could not imagine a more perfect way to end the end. I cannot wait to return!

Thank you to the wonderful team at Little Fox. I had a small wedding ceremony and after we chose to eat dinner here. (we did schedule a reservation ahead of time) EVERYONE was so kind and helpful and attentive, the ambiance was amazing (felt very New York, and my husband is from New York) and all of the food was incredible. We had small plates, appetizers and large plates. Everyone enjoy their meal so thoroughly. You guys rock and took part in making last night so so amazing. thank you, I wish I had more to give back as a thank you.

This restaurant is beyond charming and whimsical both in its choice of ingredients and the inviting environment. If you're in St.Louis for a long or a short stay Little Fox is the way. ENVIRONMENT The environment of Little Fox is the perfect embodiment of Scandinavian design in the minimalistic yet well appointed dining area. When I visited there were were at 80% capacity yet the room still did not feel congested. My server was a gem who regularly checked on my table but never to the point of being an annoyance. FOOD I ordered a countless number of entrees however, the Royal Trumpet Mushrooms and the Short Rib were the standouts. There's a fine line between not enough and too much as it relates to seasoning and every entree I ordered hit the mark in the most delicatable way. The short ribs were both savory and tender! While the mushrooms had a small amount of peppery bite that was delightful! ' In reflection, of the several restaraunts I visited during my stay in St.Louis Little Fox is by far my favorite. It was the perfect manifestation of a neighborhood restaurant with the dishes having "high street" appeal.

My favorite dish was the scallops, but the little gem salad and the fish entree were also delicious. What a cute neighborhood restaurant! Our server was fantastic and the food was out quickly. Great wine menu too!
