What are three of the hottest restaurant experiences you would recommend for groups meeting in St. Louis?
- Mike Shannon’s Steaks and Seafood Restaurant: St. Louis is a baseball town and the recent expansion and renovation of the popular Mike Shannon’s Steaks and Seafood Restaurant is proof. Diners are given a sneak peek at the radio broadcaster’s career with the St. Louis Cardinals while enjoying a sizzling food experience. While dining, enjoy the “Tower of Baseballs,” a floor-to-ceiling display of autographed baseballs. Groups can also be seated in many of the private dining areas situated around Shannon’s, ranging from the “Snugs” rooms for groups as small as six to the Hall of Fame Room for groups of up to 200. Located in the heart of downtown, Shannon’s is a short walk from many hotels and Busch Stadium.
- Monarch Restaurant: Looking to take your group on a flavor adventure? Monarch Restaurant, located in Maplewood, features international cuisine focusing on the distinct flavors of France, Asia and the American Southwest. Maplewood, an up-and-coming area of the city, captures the small-town charm of 1950s St. Louis with streets lined with shops and dining options. Special dining areas at Monarch include a private room attached to the glass-enclosed wine cellar seating up to 20 and a banquet area seating up to 60. Or give your group a unique bird’s-eye view of the action in the kitchen at the Chef’s Table, which is located above in a glass-enclosed mezzanine and perfect for an intimate group of 10.
- Vin de Set: Dining alfresco in St. Louis doesn’t get better than the expansive open-air deck at Vin de Set. Situated on the roof of a national historic landmark, diners enjoy amazing views of downtown while savoring seasonal French bistro cuisine with an American twist. Additional rooms are also available inside for private events and dining options for groups of from 30 to 500. The experience inside is just as amazing, with dining areas highlighted by vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and towering arched windows showcasing all that St. Louis has to offer.
