Landry's Seafood House - Saint Louis

When we plan a trip to St. Louis for our anniversary, we looked for restaurants that took reservations and earned anniversary. What I ran into was that this kind of restaurants on Sunday after lunch closed and or closed all day Monday. I chose Landry because A. They were open and B. They reserved. Typically, I would not have chosen a chain restaurant when visiting a new city, but in this case. I will first say that getting to the restaurant is interesting because it is right in front of the aquarium under the awnings. We went from our hotel, but I immediately noticed that I had a hard parking because of the location. There were many obstacles and street blocks to bypass. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and sat quickly. I almost wonder because of all the room in the whole restaurant we set the second table in the door in the middle of 3 other parties. I guess they wanted to keep the server tables together. But the tables were close and you could hear conversations without trying to hear It was unpleasant. I ordered a glass of wine and Calamari and was told we would get bread. We never did. The Calamari was very good and the peppers cooked with it were a nice touch. My main dish was surfing and lawn and my husband got a kind of Seafood Pasta. I thought my meal was very good and was perfect portions of everything that came with him. The pasta of my husband lacked the taste of the sauce and was similar to any pasta dish in any chain restaurant throughout the country. We were offered a dessert menu, but since our anniversary the waitress brought us a bread pudding with a candle. It was a very nice gesture, but I wanted something else and I would like to pay it. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant was clean and looked nice. We sat quickly with our reservation and had a nice night in general. I'd go back, but maybe not for a special occasion.

This was my first visit to Landry?s Seafood House and it is a very beautiful decorated restaurant?.. The food not as much celebrated. I had the shrimp scampi and it had NO FLAVOR AT ALL (ALL CAPS). If you look in the photo there doesn?t appear to be ANY SEASONING on this dish at all?..!!!!!!! They do offer a happy hour and the prices are reasonable for happy hour. Not sure if I would want to spend more than just happy hour prices. Food flavor needs IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY. NowI will say the RASPBERRY LEMON DROP MARTINI that I had was Amazing. Everyone?s taste buds are different but mine were not interested in what Landry?s was offering. I would suggest try it and you may like it.

The place is absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully and tastefully decorated. I feel like the taste of the food is sub par to the reviews on here. A lot of people eat at expensive restaurants and just think the food is amazing. Yes, the food was good no doubt. But not amazing by any means. The salmon came with unseasoned green beans and barely flavorful rice. We ordered Oysters Rockefeller and they were good. Really good, but not great. I also ordered the Tempura Lobster Bites. Over cooked and rubbery. Not the best. But it 's hard to cook anyways. The Buttery Shrimp is deep fried which I found weird. I thought that they would be pan cooked. It was recommended to my fiance when I said he wants shrimp. LOTS of shrimp. So, we didn 't know what to expect. It was butterflied to make it look like there was a lot of shrimp. Only like SIX pieces served on deep fried onion strips. Served with french fries, ketchup, tarter sauce and cocktail sauce. Again, good food but NOT worth the it costs.

I had big expectations and I was pretty satisfied. Service was good, atmosphere was nice and the food was on point. My fish could have used a little sauce and I asked my waitress apparently forgot. That would have made this a 5 ? review.

A great dinner experience. When we were seated we were told that Nikki was going to be our server. I was thrilled because I had read a recent review that mentioned her by name. She delivers great service friendly, polite, professional! The food was delightful, the service was awesome. We'll be back! (Tuesday 11 16 2021) Interesting note two different servers named Nikki in a week, both were awesome!
