The staff were absolutely incredible! It's been a VERY long time since we've had a waitress as knowledgeable, helpful and attentive as we had. The personalization and attention to detail made the evening over the top for our group. The food quality was excellent as well. The best dining experience we've had in St. Louis in 10 years

This is the second time we've been to Truffles. The first time was over 20 years ago and it was not pleasant due to some rude staff. A polar opposite this time around. What a wonderful experience!! One of the best steaks I've ever had...and it's not even a steakhouse! Great char on the steak....sides were wonderful and the staff was top notch. It was very loud, as it was completely full...and the tables are very closer together. Just an FYI for some diners. Will definitely return to Truffles!!

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.

We had a party of eight and requested to sit on the patio. They were very accommodating, the patio is lovely, our server Maggie didn't a fantastic job and you can't beat the Pick-A-Pair lunch menu!

This was our first time at The Clover and the Bee, and it was wonderful! The atmosphere is so charming and the food and service did not disappoint! We will definitely be back. It was lively, but not too noisy. Next time, I will get a table on the patio.
