Nice restaurant serving African and Caribbean fusion food. The chef is Haitian and definitely put a twist on the menu I knew over 6 years ago. I had the fried crab legs and mack and cheese with duck confit and these appetizers were fresh and flavorful. The cornbread was tasty but on the drier side. The bartender made me a Paloma cocktail and it was tasty (but too strong for me). Every staff member was welcoming and very nice at the exception of the host who was on a personal phone call when I got there and told me to go to the bar. She did not seem interested in the customers, but in her shift ending soon. The restaurant is not open 24hrs . It opens from 6:30 to 11:00 AM for breakfast and re-opens for dinner from 5:00 to 9:00 PM.
The food is a modest mix of incredible American dishes, there are also special entrees which always makes coming back worth it to see the creativity of the chef. My favorites on the menu include their St. Louis Salad, which is a big helping of salad with a great home dressing, and for an extra charge you can add a crispy skin salmon on top, which is pan seared to perfection. The aptly named eclipse burger is an organic double patty with cheese and my kind of shoe string fries on the side. And lastly, the blackened chicken sandwich is a fried chicken with a delicious sauce, one of the best chicken sandwiches in STL! Finally, the service is full of nice guys. The servers are kind and very helpful (though orders can take more time depending on the time of day. I suggest making reservations for a smoother experience.) and the atmosphere has a cool space theme, space memorabilia, the lighting fixtures are exquisite and the bar is always very welcoming! Speaking of the bar, the bartenders are wonderful to talk with and the award winning cocktails are all they are cracked up to be. Definitely check out the happy hour! I’d give the atmosphere 5 stars but the music selection is horrible and doesn’t fit the theme.
My family and I (4 adults and 2 small kids) came here for Thanksgiving Day lunch and enjoyed it. Very traditional foods. It was about $65 an adult and one of my children was $15 while the other was free, tax and tip included. We prepaid ahead of time. So the price was high but not overpriced for what we ate. The only complaint was that the doors opened up a 10 minutes late and there was a long line ahead of our family and it seemed that the host was rattled and confused.
