This Cottleville restaurant is one of the most popular in the St. Louis area. While Carl McConnell updates his six-course tasting menu every three to four weeks, one thing that never changes is his reliance on local farmers and purveyors to provide him with top-quality ingredients. In addition to the delicious food, reviewers rave about the graciousness of the chef and his wife, Nancy; one reviewer says, “I felt like I was at their home for a dinner party.” This is a much sought-after location for celebrating a special occasion, so it can be a tough reservation to come by; we’ve heard the place can be booked four months in advance.
