Best Date Night Restaurants in Kirkwood

The food was undeniably good, with dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful. However, the experience felt rushed, as the courses arrived almost immediately after one another, leaving little time to savor each dish. Additionally, the ambiance was less than ideal due to the constant opening of the door to the outside, which brought in unwelcome drafts and made it difficult to relax. A bit more attention to pacing and temperature control would elevate the dining experience significantly.

We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.

As ALWAYS, our server, JO, provided yet another OUTSTANDING dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. The food was equally incredible; the revamped lavender crème brûlée is a game-changer. 🤩 The moment that solidified my fondness for this place is when my sister (the other guest dining with me) noticed the attentiveness and teamwork practiced amongst the staff both FOH and BOH. In addition to our server and support staff, Deja (the GM) also visited our table, offering to assist us with anything we needed. Nowadays, with the overabundance of “cash grabs” in the city that lack substance and fail to grasp the fundamentals of hospitality, the top-notch dining experience provided at Cooks and Soldiers is so refreshing. Please keep up the great work!!! 👏🏾

This was a perfect evening. The restaurant was so festive and we were there on Christmas Eve and enjoyed the feast of 7 fishes. Food was outstanding!!! Hoping to make this a Christmas tradition.

My favorite lunch spot in midtown. Terrific service staff – helpful, knowledgable, attentive. A professionally run restaurant with excellent food at a reasonable price point.
