| The Lombardo family, with four restaurants on the St. Louis scene, has been pleasing diners since 1934. Their steakhouse’s comfortable, modern, somewhat bland setting is a change from the very traditional atmosphere of the hotel lobby, situated next door in the old Fur Exchange building. Unlike many hotel restaurants, Carmine’s gets a fair amount of local traffic, partly drawn by the Lombardo name, so conventioneers may well sit next to a couple from the suburbs out for an evening. Steaks are high-grade and properly cooked with traditional sides; a rack of lamb arrives with neon-green mint jelly. The Lombardos’ Sicilian roots are represented mostly in the chicken and side dishes. Risotto, available as an accompaniment, is toothsome, although here seasoning is very conservative. The service is fine but suffers in comparison to the friendliness of the family’s first venture, Lombardo’s Restaurant, near Lambert Airport. Lombardo’s Trattoria is in the Union Station Drury Inn and Terrazza Grill is in Arnold. |
