"I'm not easy to impress as far as food taste and experience. I love to cook and am put off by fall back cheats of salt and fat. My husband and I visited Brasserie for our 27th anniversary. So so so good!!!! My new number two. Charming atmosphere, delightful staff, excellent food. Beautiful neighborhood to walk off calories that could not be denied."

"Wish I lived closer, I would be here every weekend. I've now been for dinner twice and brunch once. All times, food was excellent. We had spotty service the one time we went for brunch and sat on the patio. But excellent service the two times we went for dinner. I particularly enjoyed the gnocchi, french onion soup and the floating island for dessert. The bread rolls are excellent too! I love the blend of really good food with the casual atmosphere. It's not stuffy at all."

"This was our 2nd time dining at Brasserie and our experience was one of the best we have had in the St. Louis area. We sat outside as it was a perfect evening... even after 9:30pm when we were seated the restaurant was very lively and energetic. Our server, Jake, was fantastic... he made very insightful comments on the evening's specials, was extremely attentive, yet not bothersome at all! The food was fantastic as well. We would recommend Brasserie to anyone and will be back again soon!"

"Everytime we go to Brasserie, we are pleased.The food is consistently good, and the service attentive. In particular, the frisee salad was great, as was the braised beef."

"We thoroughly enjoyed Brasserie's take on French cuisine. From the wine to the coq au vin to the creme brulee, everything tasted authentic but still unique. The gnocchi, especially, were cooked in way that I had never tasted before. The ambiance was equally pleasant. It being a nice day outside, they opened up the doors to let the fresh air in, making it feel more like a true brasserie experience. My one complaint would be that we were obliged to take a reservation early in the evening even though it was apparent as we were there that there would have been space for us to eat later."

"This was the first time I had dined at Brasserie and I was blown away. The food was amazing and everything was cooked to perfection. I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. If you haven't been to Brasserie, you're missing out. I will definately be going back"

"My wife and I came here on a date night and we were not disappointed. She got the chicken and I got the braised beef. Her dish was great but my dish was easily one of the top 5 dishes I have ever had in my life! Extremely flavorful and beyond satisfying. Good portions at a fair price.
We will headed back there for sure. Our waiter Jacob was excellent as well and really cared about our enjoyment!"

"Our server was excellent. He provided a great wine suggestion to complement our meal. My girlfriend and I were torn between escargot and steak tartare for an appetizer. On his recommendation, we chose the steak tartare. I thought it was delicious, but, as much as she tried, my girlfriend couldn't get past the thought of it. We had chicken and braised beef for dinner. The chicken was the most perfectly cooked, crispy skin, juice center chicken either of us have ever had. It seems odd to rave about a chicken dish, but it really was spectacular. The braised beef melted in my mouth. Our server, who had noticed the appetizer wasn't completely gone, ended up comping it and provided a surprise dessert."

"Onion soup is outstanding - familiar yet subtly different. Roast chicken is absolutely THE best I have ever encountered. Preparation is all and Brasserie by Niche has it down cold."

"We had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious, served promptly and hot. Our server suggested an appetizer and wine - both of which we enjoyed immensely. We were celebrating a birthday and received a sour cherry ice cream as dessert. The ice cream was awesome."

"The food is great, the service excellent, the noise level is potentially problemmatic. I would never take my father here, who has a hearing problem, as he could not participate in any conversation. Even my wife and I had trouble hearing each other across the table this time. This is the only negative I would have for this restaurant: it's very noisy."

"We had not eaten here in awhile, but chose to entertain out of town guests here. It seemed very busy for a Monday night. The weather was perfect this April evening, and most patrons dined alfresco. The onion soup was delicious. The service seemed slow. Prices seemed reasonable. This is a residential neighborhood with few parking lots; we recommend the reasonable $3 (at this writing) valet parking. We have difficulty finding kitchens that are open late, even on weekends; this would be a good place for late night dining."

"As my favorite restaurant in St. Louis, I was a bit disappointed with my most recent dinner. The long-time Trout entree has changed and seemed skimpy as well as the Gree"

"This place never fails to impress. The service is high class, the food is beyond amazing, and the atmosphere is inviting. French Onion soup is my staple requirement for every visit. Had the Pork Special this time--I am generally a fan of the gnocchi. Pork was cooked to perfection. Brasserie has quickly become my #1 choice in St. Louis."

"The food here is so perfectly prepared it seems otherworldly. A simple bibb lettuce salad is elevated to a treat, with perfectly crisp cold lettuce and just the right amount of lemony vinaigrette delicately embracing each leaf. The entrees are basic French Bistro fare, but so expertly prepared, you feel transported. The chicken Coq Au Vin was delicious. We were all very happy with our choices, felt attended to but not hovered over and since it was a chilly night, were especially happy there was valet parking -- for only $3. And they are open for dinner on Mondays -- a rare find in the CWE."

"I took my fiance there right after I proposed. I wanted a more secluded table and the staff was very accommodating. Everyone wanted to know how it went and they offered us some congratulatory champagne. It was a wonderful meal that helped make a special evening all the more so. It's definitely one of the better restaurants in St. Louis. We look forward to going back again and again."

"My wife and I had a great time. We were offered a complimentary charcuterie platter for being first time guests. The menu was perfectly simplistic classical French food. There were a couple of things that could have been executed a little better, but we still cleaned our plates. All in all a fantastic time with fantastic service and some of the best chocolate mousse I've had in a very long time."

"Simple French country food done very well. Outstanding escargot as appetizer. Had goat cheese mixed green salad which was delicious. Entrees were outstanding: bistro teak and chicken with mushrooms. Tried floating island dessert upon recommendation of our waiter....so good. Service was attentive and excellent. They made a Tuesday night dinner so special."

"Lovely dinner, excellent service. Wine list was filled with high quality wines, lots of choices, and very French. Between the three of us, our food was very good. The French onion soup was the best we have ever tasted! The salmon and steak entrees were fabulous, however, the gnocchi was tasty but dry. I think it needed a white wine sauce. My husband wouldn't let me ask for any!! The coffee soufflé was perfect. Our first visit, will return when in St. Louis. The chef was mentioned on the Williams Sonoma website is how I found the restaurant."

"Food was very good but the noise level was unbelievably loud. We were at a table for four, could hardly hear each other without leaning in and talking loud. The tables were so close together I had to squeeze by the adjacent table to slide into the booth along the wall. I'm a very small person and could barely fit by without knocking things off of the table and apologizing as I slid by the diners sitting next to us."

"Incredible staff make an already outstanding restaurant something to remember. Asked the bartender for some help with the wine list, she "polled" the wait staff to find the right recommendation to match what we were going to order for our dinner. Wine by the bottle prices are very reasonable. I am Greek, and ordered lamb, and was blown away by the meal. St louis is abound with great food and folks, but Niche is top notch. WORTH EVERY PENNY."

"Your house made ice cream is good - nice texture, consistency and flavor. But there is not enough of the "mix-in." We've had it several times and there are one to two bites of the special flavor - not enough."

"Went on a Friday night, group of four. Highly recommend getting a reservation here, it's not very big inside and fills up quickly. Waits can be long. Ambience is warm and inviting. Waitress was attentive, as was management. Appetizer: Cheese puffs. No big deal. Salad: Endive and mixed greens. Delicious. Main courses: Salmon, Gnocchi, Coq Au Vin, and the burger. The burger was fantastic, the Coq Au Vin was spot on, Gnocchi was unique and rich, and the salmon was good. The Coq Au Vin wins best dish of the four. Layla at the bar does a great job with the drinks. The 'Parisian' is fantastic."
