- BHBridgetHSt. Louis •1 review5.0Dined 5 days ago5 stars — Perfect birthday celebration Celebrated our birthdays at Brasserie by Niche and it could not have been better. The service was excellent from start to finish — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling stiff or overdone. The food was fantastic across the board. We started with the escargot and the bread, both fantastic, then moved on to the French onion soup — rich, cheesy, everything you want it to be. The beef special was the standout of the night, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. What really made it special was how the whole team seemed invested in making our night memorable. It’s rare to find a restaurant that balances a lively, high-energy atmosphere with that level of thoughtful, personal care. Highly recommend for a birthday or any celebration — we’ll definitely be back.More infoBrasserie by Niche$$$$• French• St. Louis•4.8

- JJenniferGoldSt. Louis •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 26, 2026Visited on a Friday, had a reservation for the 2 couch areas which hold a combined 12 people. Ann was assigned to assist us and she was very friendly and thorough. Was required to cover the bill on 1 check, so if you have a large crowd, be prepared or send everyone to the bar separately. Gratuity was also included for the large group. We had a great time.More infoHigh Bar Clayton Rooftop$$$$• Tapas / Small Plates• Clayton•4.2
