   My wife and I stayed at the adjoining hotel for our 10th anniversary. The food was delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly, and my wife enjoyed her pasta very much. She drank wine and I ordered a Manhattan, which was a featured drink on their menu… I got an old fashioned instead. That was odd, but I rolled with it. Overall, good experience.

   Hidden gem of St. Louis! The ragu was to die for and the service was fast and friendly. Cool atmosphere in the chic and charming hotel lobby.

   Wait staff short handed, but once we were noticed after waiting for a bit, things ran smoothly. Great cocktails, good wine. Steak was great, wife’s pasta was simple but well executed.

   The food is ok. I don’t eat meat so it was difficult to choose from the menu. The fried cauliflower was delicious.

   The restaurant was dead. I think there were other people there possibly two tables but I can’t recall. I was hoping for a more energetic and lively restaurant ambience, but all that was offered was some low-key hotel dining experience almost like a cafeteria. The restaurant didn’t feel like a standalone operation end it just seemed like an extension of the hotel as the people working in the restaurant all had on hotel uniforms rather than restaurant uniforms. This was evident as some of the employees were doing other hotel duties and then meandering into the restaurant and doing some of the restaurant duties as well. My fault, I should have researched more before I decided to book a reservation in this restaurant. The server was very very nice a real cool guy, very personable and you can tell he likes to interact with the guests.

   When we get to the area of the hotel where there was seating we were greeted by somebody friendly who seated us immediately. There were only a few people sitting in the area. It is an open area and a hotel lobby so I can imagine that if it got crowded that this would maybe be a concern to some people. We got our water pretty quickly and were given the menu. The menu is very minimal and all the things that were on the menu I did not feel that I got A good selection to choose from. We tried the ribollita soup and it was super salty and honestly not very tasty at all. It’s beans and bacon in a very salty base with Parmesan on top. Very lackluster. The best part of that appetizer was the bread. We then ordered fried cauliflower which was very lumpy and not crispy at all. It was well seasoned but I did not like the seasoning it seemed like it had way too much lemon or vinegar or whatever that really strange taste was. We then ordered hot honey wings and they were very grizzly and not very tasty. The best part of this meal was that it came with french fries and they were amazing. The catch-up and aïoli sauce were the best parts as that’s what we dipped our french fries in. So in all outside of the water the french fries and the bread, this was a very expensive and disappointing dinner. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

   Food was amazing! Service was awesome! I didn't expect it to be inside a hotel- but discovered it was kind of a hidden treasure! Will definitely visit again. Brioche French toast is to die for!

    Stayed at the Last Hotel & decided to try the restaurant which was listed as a steakhouse online. It was almost empty which made me nervous but we had great service and awesome food! It is a small menu and a little pricey but that’s expected. Overall great experience!

    I reserved a table for 2. Immediately I noticed that the well dressed staff were gone and replaced with green polos which changed the ambiance for me right away. Then we bypassed several 2 tops and zipped to a table next to a family with kids while 2/3rds of the restaurant sat empty.

    This is a bar lobby restaurant, which is actually a quiet area at the back of the bar. To say it was casual was correct. The hostess/server was in sweatpants. The service was adequate, but the food was inedible. We like the hotel, and have stayed there several times, so we thought we would give the restaurant a try on an evening when we didn't feel like going out. However, we are used to eating Italian on The Hill, and with so many other choices available, we wont be back. It was just bad.

    This came up on OpenTable and we are always willing to try a new place. Parking was easy and it was not busy inside. The food was amazing as was the service. I had the Brioche French Toast and the strawberry marscarpone cream was delicious! The restaurant is enormous! We stayed and watched the hockey game and ate a late lunch as well!

    One server who spent more time chatting with patrons at the bar than serving us. Pizza was soggy and had been sitting. Chicken piccata was okay. We were the only people in the restaurant so it’s not like the server had a lot of tables he needed to serve food to. Would not recommend.

    I unfortunately have to write a negative review but our experience here was bad. Our drinks were forgotten about, the table next to us was complaining about their drink, my husbands old fashioned was not good. Food wise I had the Ragu which tasted great, no complaints there, but portion size was small and left a lot to be desired. Husbands pizza was soggy and floppy. To be fair it looked like they were super understaffed but felt the whole vibe could have been better.

    Don’t do it. Just go somewhere else. The place has changed names recently and is in the lobby of The Last Hotel. There is absolutely no signage and you might think you are in the wrong place even after you walk in. The waitress tried but it was hopeless. Food was eatable but that’s about it. I don’t think the place has plates because it seems like every dish comes in a bowl. Maybe the pizza is good but I didn’t see anyone in the place eating it. When you notice that this place is the only restaurant in all of St Louis that has openings you ought to wonder why.

    Made a reservation and we were seated quickly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is interesting and comfortable. Like many places, I think they were a bit short-staffed, though we ordered and our food was delivered in a timely manner. It was nearly impossible to a drink and when we did order a drink, the waiter forgot to put it in. We were completely finished with our meal when someone checked on us. A guy who seemed like he was a manager did check on us and was incredibly kind about the oversight. The only other thing I would mention is that the menu is somewhat limited. Again, they may be a COVID think, but there's no website for the menu so I'm not sure we would have gone there if I had been able to see it. The food was absolutely delicious, however; it's primarily Italian. I did see another table had what looked like sandwiches arrive at their table but we were never offered a menu that had anything like that on it. I believe we'll return at some point.

    Nice restaurant in the Last Hotel. There is a wide variety of seating options and the restaurant is pretty expansive across the main floor level of the Hotel. Went for brunch and the brunch purger was insanely good. The fries are like fancy McDonalds in the best way. Also other party was not disappointed with the standard egg breakfast plate. The bar seems nice as well.

    This was my first and mostly likely last visit to The Last Kitchen. Let me preface this by stating I go out to eat quite a bit and give places and staff the benefit of the doubt and I tip pretty well; especially for excellent service. We (myself which we asked him to clean; and he did with hesitation. We should have left then. I must say that the mimosas were excellent but pricy. You actually could taste the champagne. The food we ordered was plain and I asked the person that brought the food out if they could bring some additional dressing for my not so Caesar salad. Never saw the person again. Waiter never came back to check on us. We stopped what looked like a manager to ask for ketchup, salt and pepper and he was not very nice at all, but was very chatty with other guests. I got up and got my own napkins from the bar. As a patron, we have many choices to choose from and maybe I went on the wrong day, but this place will not be a choice for me and I will not refer anyone there.
