The retro-mod décor in Herbie’s main dining space could almost have you believing you’re in a time warp, back in 1972 when Herbie Balaban opened his original French-style café. But the menu is completely contemporary---including separate vegetarian and gluten-free line-ups. The classic dishes available in the dining room, like beef Wellington, have been adapted by executive chef Aaron Teitelbaum (who co-owns Herbie’s and Monarch, another St. Louis fine-dining destination). As satisfying as the French dishes are, we also recommend the good old American burger. Among the fusion selections on the less-formal bistro side, try the jerk chicken or lobster mac ‘n’ cheese. The cocktail menu is innovative, and the wine list is solid. Herbie’s private cigar club is increasingly popular now that the city is smoke-free.
