Celebrated my 41st birthday at Acero. My husband and I opted for the Chef’s 7 course menu. It was really good. The only downside is that the last time we visited Acero was 2 years ago, and I remembered some of the dishes as they were the same then as they were this weekend.

The food and ambience was so great. I love that they don’t use seed oils and the food is fresh and delicious. Our waiter was great too.

My wife and I dined here tonight and the best description of the food was, sublime. Really outstanding, we both had the seven course chef’s tasting menu, and each dish was consumately balanced. Service was impeccable. The wine list is impressive. The restaurant was a little loud at its peak capacity but elegantly decorated and lit, with a nice selection of modern jazz to suit the decor. This is a gem of the fine dining scene here in St. Louis.

Beginning with saying that this gem of a restaurant was absolutely fantastic would be an understatement and not do the quality of service and food justice. Everything our party of six enjoyed was exceptional. Jesse (our server) was dynamic. His recommendations for each course was on point. I was uniquely impressed by his ability to listen to my young son and determine exactly what he would enjoy was great. The five adults participated in the four course tasting menu which was incredibly delectable.

Life-changing. The food was life changing. Zern was quite possibly the best server I have ever had. He was an absolute delight for the whole table and went above and beyond. The whole wait staff did. The music was a little strange for a classy Italian restaurant, kind of club like? But when the food came out, we were absolutely enamored. This is not a frugal experience, but definitely one worth saving for!

Had a excellent evening dinner with a group of friends here. A very intimate setting, a perfect place to celebrate anything. They have a vast wine selection and a very creative menu.

Seated in the very back of the second room, it was incredibly warm, making for an uncomfortable experience. The restaurant was abuzz with chatter, which was wonderful, except that we were seated next to the most obnoxious table of entitled a-holes who shrieked and talked over the entire restaurant. We had difficulty hearing one another at our own table. It was so blatantly rude, and ruined our dining experience.

Incredible! I recently had dinner here with my wife. It’s a very nice place for dinner / date night. The server was super nice and helpful. We had the tasters choice. It’s a 4 curse meal. Worth every penny. The atmosphere very pleasant. Can’t wait to go back

My wife and I had the joy of celebrating our anniversary here – our server Jesse was incredible, truly made the best of our dinner and did a great job explaining the wines he was paring with each course of our meal. The mushroom tagliolini really blew my mind, such a tastefully done dish that leaves you wanting more; the only ding I really hold on the meal is that my wife and I both wished that the beef tenderloin had been seasoned a little stronger to help bring the flavor of the cut to the forefront, but it was still perfectly cooked and each bite was satisfying. atmosphere was chill but, a little loud, not so much so that you can’t maintain a conversation without raising your voice. Overall we really enjoyed our evening and we hope to return sooner than later.

Had an amazing experience here last night. It’s a small restaurant so with the restrictions in place right now you should definitely call ahead. We ordered the tasting menu- 4 courses. It allows you to try a little bit of everything. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t love. I highly recommend the egg raviolio. Great service and great food!!
