Restaurants near Watson Plaza Shopping Center

One of my three favorite restaurants in STL and the perfect place for a fantastic birthday dinner with my wife. A couple of things to note: when I asked for a recommendation on a white wine to go with my dinner, our waiter brought out two different samples for me to try instead of just the one I asked to taste. I went with the second option that I hadn’t even expected to try. The other was the noise/music level when we first arrived was noticeably higher than it normally is. Within 15 minutes of arrival, however, it had been turned down. Food was terrific. North Atlantic Salmon was perfectly prepared. And the Pumpkin Dessert was delicious.

We were seated on time and immediate attention was given by the server. Loved the waitress who answered questions and gave help on the menu items. Food was fantastic and we had a variety of meals from chicken to pizza to eggplant. The salads are big and need to be shared with someone. Pizzas are about 14 inches and can easily be shared. I highly recommend this restaurant. I also noticed that the manager is on site checking on things. It was a very pleasant experience.

I Adore all the 801 Chop locales, my first time at 801 local (across the street from Lifetime-Idyllic) The bustling warm ambiance was immediately cozy & Familiar. We were greeted & seated within 5 minutes, our Waiter Kevin was prompt, attentive, friendly & recommended the Best Wine (Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir) the Seafoood Crab starter—Divine, rich & indulgent—Filet Mignon, perfect & cooked exactly to order! Thank you Tabor for checking on us & assuring we had a Phenomenal meal. Definitely order the table rolls, they are Divine with truffle butter I could take a bath in 😸🫶

Great place friendly staff I recommend making a reservation. It gets really full fast But you won't be disappointed

Unmatched table service. We eat out at very nice restaurants fairly frequently, but this was exceptional. Brian and Alex teamed up at our table and gave impeccable recommendations, preparations, and boxed up our food with style. The presentation of my husband‘s steak, hot on a serving cart, with juices ready to pour on it was stunning. We were truly impressed.
