| In the very heart of old downtown St. Louis, between Broadway and the Mississippi River, what was once the Merchants Laclede Bank has become the Hilton St. Louis Downtown. In its lobby---with bank vaults open and gleaming---is this dining room. While it doesn't make for an intimate setting, this turns out to be a good spot for visitors and locals to mix, especially for business lunches. The menu shows signs of a kitchen striving for something greater---a goal it usually achieves. Look for dishes like an appetizer of cornbread and shrimp, which arrives in the form of savory little pancakes with sweet-spicy sorghum butter, or an amber bock beer-onion soup. Many of the entrées are seared or encrusted, which makes the maple-glazed smoked pork loin a standout. Too-familiar names pepper a wine list that seems geared toward tourists, but at least the markups are reasonable. |
