Wright's Tavern Clayton Reviews
Wright's is one of my favorite restaurants in the world.
The atmosphere is moody and intimate. The service is the best I've ever experienced- Ricky truly enhances your experience at Wright's. My first time eating there Ricky painted a beautiful picture of the shrimp scampi and we just had to order. It's now our goto when we visit Wright's. Also don't sleep on the onion rings and that tavern sauce!! The bread/butter/oil starter is incredible! I only wish there was more of it! The crème brûlée is phenomenal and I recommend the sundae at least once!
Thank you Yelp! In town for a soccer tournament and someone
Thank you Yelp! In town for a soccer tournament and someone recommended looking for restaurants in Clayton... found Wright's on yelp with excellent reviews. They did not have any available reservations but said they have 4 spots at the bar that would be an option if available. We took the chance and so glad we did. My son ordered the filet with pomme frites, I ordered the special which was a veal chop with pomme puree. The filet was one of the best quality filets I have had in a while (of course I had to try it). The fries were amazing and the pomme puree (mashed potatoes) were some of the lightest and silkiest that I've had. Ever. I don't normally drink martinis but ordered one and it was very good. The ambience was quaint yet sophisticated. It's not a large place (which adds to the ambience) so if you are interested in trying Wright's Tavern book your reservation early!
Wright's food and service are very good.
However, we find the experience very rushed. My husband and I were there last night and they tried to get us in and out in about an hour. We took a bit longer and they came back to the table multiple times to try to clear the course. I know they need to turn the tables but this made our lovely dinner feel much less so.
We heard great things about this place and we were excited
We heard great things about this place and we were excited we finally got a reservation. We arrived on time, were seated promptly and greeted by our server. We treated ourselves one cocktail and one mocktail, the crab cake, Cesar salad, NY strip special (grass fed) along with pomme frites. Service was ok - warm in a performative way. The drinks were watered down. I've never had a watered down mocktail before. The steak and pomme frites were warm, not hot. To clarify, the plate was hot, the food was not. Not worth the price of the special. Were the staff distracted by all of the social media photos/ videos being taken? Maybe? It was distracting and took focus away from the whole experience. The crab cake and Cesar salad were the best parts of the meal. Might give this place another chance but not sure it's worth the hype.
Wow this place is delicious! A cute little spot you might
Wow this place is delicious! A cute little spot you might miss it if you walk by too fast! Our server did a great job explaining the menu and off the menu options. The drinks were so strong we only needed one haha. And the foooood! First off, the bread was delicious. Secondly, the scallops were fabulous. Thirdly, I loved my potato crushed halibut and green beans. The sauce was *chef's kiss*. We were too full for dessert but we'll definitely go again :) It's a great spot for a date, celebration, or just a nice night out on the town!
One of the best dirty vodka martinis I've ever had! The
One of the best dirty vodka martinis I've ever had! The food was also excellent and perfectly prepared
It took us over a year to get our reservation.
We ended up FINALLY got in on a Monday at 8:30 and it was worth the wait. It IS small, but I think that's what gives it its charm. Our server CK Was knowledgeable, attentive and very personable. The onion rings were amazing and the horseradish aïoli sauce they serve with it is not to be missed. We enjoyed the cocktails the food and had an amazing experience.
Great food and service
First time here but it won’t be our last. The food and service were top notch. Our server Jonathon was one of the best I’ve had in a while. He did a great job explaining the menu and some of his favorites. Also helped me pick out a wine for my dinner and it was perfect. We started out with the Dorothy Gale cocktail and it was very good. We shared the sushi roll and the spinach salad and both were excellent. For dinner we had the sampler special which had small portions of tuna, filet with crab cake, chicken saltimboca, and seared scallop. All four were excellent. We also had the crème brûlée for desert. This was a great meal and we had some leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. If you like great service and a well prepared meal, you should definitely try The Tavern Kitchen and Bar.
Okay, I get the hype now! This place has been on my list
Okay, I get the hype now! This place has been on my list for a long time but getting a decent reservation has taken forever. I finally got one a few days ago and it all makes sense. It's a small, cozy spot - with the ambiance of a small neighborhood spot but the service of a white tablecloth restaurant. Ricky was phenomenal - always checking in, offering great recommendations and helping us make the best selections. We started off with drinks: the house espresso martini (10/10, just wish it was larger cause it was so good) and the old fashioned. The bread and butter was delicious. Fresh fresh bread - still so warm it was tough to hold when cutting! For entrees, we went with steak frites and the housemade canestri pasta. Both were so good - delicious sauce on the steak, the aioli for the fries (YUM) and the pasta was the perfect amount of spicy. Creme brûlée was on the dessert menu so it was a no brainer and did not disappoint. If you are able to get a reservation, RUN don't walk!
Impeccable from the moment you walk in till you leave.
Bravo! Everything about Wright's is excellent!! Food is excellent, cocktails are excellent and the atmosphere is wonderful and charming! Service doesn't get better.
Allison answered my phone call about our upcoming
Allison answered my phone call about our upcoming reservation and was extremely accommodating & helpful. She made us very excited to return. I love it when restaurants have great service in all aspects. And when the service, food, AND ambiance are all spectacular, supporting a business like this is a no brainer!
Amazing meal, but too loud
The Chilien sea bass was amazing. The by the glass wine pours are sufficiently large. The service was great. It’s not cheap, but the meal was one of the best I have had. My only complaint is that the place is very noisy, making it hard to have a conversation.
Not going again -
That was disappointing. For these prices your clothes should not smell of the kitchen and they should try to be a little accommodating of food dislikes. And then adding more than $100 in food from another table onto the bill - be careful.
Very Nice!
We had a very nice dinner with friends at The Tavern. Michael was our server and he was on top of things, very good. All of our food was delicious; I got the steak frites and my husband got the sea scallops. We shared an edename appetizer that is only shown on the vegetarian menu. Love the style of the menus: paper that is banded onto a hard back. The dining room was a little cold, I think the air conditioning was on. It was nice to see people dressed up to go out to eat. We saw several birthday desserts go by with the sparklers on top. Overall a cozy evening with delicious food.
Top tier service, food, and atmosphere.
Every dish leaves you with nothing else to say but "wow." We had the crab cake, Caesar salad, halibut, filet mignon with frites, and mac. Worth every penny!
This is a really great restaurant.
It far exceeded the hype. We had the crab cake, spicy shrimp scampi, halibut, roasted chicken and onion rings. All were cooked perfectly and each bite was better than the one before it. House made sourdough was a great touch as well. Our server was Nate and he helped us navigate the menu and made sure our water and wine glasses were always full. A real top notch operation all around. If there was one knock on the restaurant, it was a little on the loud side making it hard to hear the waiter or my wife. But this is not enough to knock a star from the review. It is so great to have a restaurant like this in St Louis.
Oh. My. Goodness. Just incredible from every first sip and
Oh. My. Goodness. Just incredible from every first sip and bite to every last morsel. Even the leftovers, cold. It was a romantic setting for a late night date with my husband, we received excellent service that was polite and very pleasant, and the food was beyond exceptional.
There's something about a classic steakhouse experience, am
There's something about a classic steakhouse experience, am I right? Wright's keeps things romantic and intimate with just a dozen or so tables and ultra dim mood setting ambiance. They steaks are to die for, you will not leave hungry.
Great food, great bread, great service! That's what you get
Great food, great bread, great service! That's what you get from a great restaurant! Had the roast beef, loaded with tasty roast beef, did I say loaded! Toasty perfect bread. Also, au jus and horseradish dipping sauce! The roast beef came with house made fries, too many to eat all of them I felt bad leaving them, so yummy! Fries came with house made garlic aioli and ketchup. So much to choose from, dip with this or that or just enjoy the flavor of the perfectly cooked beef, oh my! Tried there in house sour dough, superb!
This place is special, it's truly an experience.
The service is top notch, they're incredibly attentive and hospitable. They're going to make sure your entire visit from start to finish is perfect. While the food is upscale, the ambiance still has the chill tavern vibe, but classy. All of that said...the food is still the true star, WOW. First off, you definitely won't leave hungry no matter what you get, as the portions are quite large. Plus you get complimentary fresh sourdough bread with the most amazing garlic oil/butter combination I've ever had. The crab cake is unreal. The burgers, steaks, pastas are sooo good. The sides are huge and delicious! Tons of fries with house made garlic aoli, and unbelievable macaroni au gratin. And you really have to get the creme brulee, even if you're normally not a fan, get it, you won't be disappointed. Or if you wanna go wild, get the ice cream sundae, which is massive and over the top in the best way. If you like a cocktail with dinner, the Tavern Paloma is where it's at. I also had the Pink Lady which is a tasty vodka option. Honestly anything you get won't be disappointing. Highly recommend Wrights!
Need to update again because Wright's Tavern simply does
Need to update again because Wright's Tavern simply does not miss. There is something about that french dip. It has me in a chokehold. I can't help but order it every time. And, every time it gets better--which I did not think was possible. Everybody knows the food at Wright's is great. The macaroni, onion rings, burger, steak, shrimp scampi. Basically, every single menu item. So, I do not want to Belabor that point. I do, however, want to indulge you in the magic that Wright's is beyond their food. Wright's, for me, feels like home. The meticulousness is magnificent. The art work is elegant, yet accessible. The paper and pencils on the tables makes it feel just a bit whimsical, while still feeling elegant. Yet, you feel welcome no matter your background, outfit, status, etc. it just feels like anyone can walk in and be exactly who is supposed to be there. Every server shows genuine interest in serving you. Always willing to chop it up, they are dressed to the nines, but remain beautifully folksy. It's intimate. But, also a place you can take the family. Wright's is an enigma. Artistically balancing upscale with casual, high end with affordable, intimate with friendly, professional with whimsy. Maybe none of this makes sense. I may just be rambling. But, beyond the generous portions of a simplified--yet perfected--traditional steakhouse menu is a cozy space we all can call home, even if just for the evening. St. Louis is blessed to have a spot as special as Wright's. Can't wait to get back for another french dip... hopefully sooner than later!
For the month of May, my wife and I, along with her cousin
For the month of May, my wife and I, along with her cousin and husband (2 Cousins and their Husbands) make routine date nights every month. This month choice was the husband's choice and we choose Wright's Tavern. This destination is worth checking out for those of you who are looking for a place to cozy up with your spouse/mate. Make sure you make your reservation at least two weeks in advance because when i say they have been busy, that is an understatement. We got a Saturday 10:15 reservation but were thankful someone cancelled at the last minute so we got in around 8:30. When we approached Wright's Tavern that evening I walked right past the entrance, it was reminiscent of a speakeasy because I did not see any signs suggesting we had arrived. Upon entry the hostess was pleasant and quickly seated us. The music was nice, a mixture of lo-fi sounds with a few subtle blends of jazz blended hip hop, this definitely set the tone for the quaint restaurant. We started our evening off with appetizers and cocktails. We order crab cakes, and onion rings (although they are considered a side, many people choose them as an appetizer), they were delicious. The drinks were great, I especially enjoyed my Sazerac, and Old Fashion, both were mixed to perfection, while our wives enjoyed the Dark Daquiri, and the Pink Lady. For dinner, I choose the Halibut (a great choice I may add, and highly recommend) and my wife ate a wedge salad, she wasn't very hungry considering the appetizers were pretty generous. Our cousins choose the chicken and the ribeye of which they both enjoyed. Between the atmosphere, drinks and food we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again.
For as hard as it is to get a reservation the food didn't
For as hard as it is to get a reservation the food didn't blow us out of the water. The service was top notch, the restaurant is quaint and has a nice ambiance to it. We saw the chef standing by the bar most of the evening. My husband and I got a drink each (Martini and the Car & and Old Fashion) both were great! We were served their homemade sourdough which was also great! We ordered the crab cake and it was good but expensive $30 for one, but it was large. He got the burger and I got the pasta. On the burger the onion slices were very overbearing and large. The pasta was good but again nothing special. Big portions! L
We had a reservation tonight at 9, which I was a little
We had a reservation tonight at 9, which I was a little hesitant about just because of its proximity to closing time at 10. It wasn't at all weird, service was excellent! We got two old fashioned/pink lady cocktails each (delicious), scampi (to die for), caesar salad (parm was incredible), spicy vodka pasta and the filet with frites. Everything was exceptional, from the service to the ambiance to the incredible food!! Can't wait to return.
I usually won't review a place if they already have really
I usually won't review a place if they already have really good reviews cuz like what is the point. But this place is so good I felt obligated. Food was amazing. Huge servings which you don't always get at a place like this. Im really tall so I feel like I usually have to choose between good food and not leaving super fully or low quality food, but this places gives ya both. Some things are pricey but for what you get it's a great deal. The service was also great. The vibes are also super cool. Will be back often.
Currently my favorite restaurant in STL.
The setting is intimate, cozy. Food is absolutely incredible. The french dip is far and away the best french dip I have ever had. There is something special about dining at Wright's from the dimly lit dining room, the friendly, attentive servers, and the incredible food.
Let me just start with this, Wrights Tavern is the best
Let me just start with this, Wrights Tavern is the best restaurant I've ever been to in Saint Louis and I'm always trying something new. We stumbled upon these reservations. The service was impeccable. Like in the movies. The lighting and atmosphere was very charming, absolutely full of customers to capacity but still very intimate. But all of that is shadowed by how amazing the food is. I am a steak man when it comes to upscale restaurants. Something in my guts told me to get the roasted chicken which is extremely rare. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to try anything else on the menu. Just go here.
Just a heads up for anyone trying to make a reservation.
We attempted to make a birthday reservation on the day they opened up reservations for the following month. I did it first thing in the morning (5AM). All the dates for the entire month were already booked except for 10PM and 11PM time slots. If you want to get in... make sure you book at 12 AM, on the dot, first of the month.
Food is amazing, the atmosphere is immaculate and the staff
Food is amazing, the atmosphere is immaculate and the staff is chefs kiss!!! Definitely make reservations or prepare to sit at the bar.
Wright is WRONG! Rude mait're D made us wait forever until
Wright is WRONG! Rude mait're D made us wait forever until we finally left without being seated and we will never go back.
Amazing food beautiful ambiance .
. Also Richard's service was amazing...so grateful we got squeezed in at 5pm opening after standing in weather a long time outside... delicious.. we will be back! Best crab cake ever.. Halibut was a work of art .. Things to work on -tho I love prompt service.. it needs to be dialed in on the tag team service a bit.. I felt like we had our main waiter..,then a line of soldiers in line staring at us behind.. I'm already a tight place. Richard naturally paced wonderfully on his own.. I am a slow eater and I was just trying to eat the last of my food and have amazing convo w my love.. I got asked probably 8 times could my plate be taken.. that's kinda irritating considering we were let in at 5pm and this was all between 5:15-545... we also had the table till 6:30 and still were kind enough to pay and leave before 6... I get insuring good service but you all (not my waiter) made us feel hurried for a very expensive (and again tasty meal)... it would have been nice to savor it more and our conversation without the constant interruptions for over half our time seated. Overkill, but delicious. This is not Chickfila/McDonalds so don't get into the speed... keep it at bay... cuz pretentiousness can ruin restaurants in stl and reasonable people will be respectful of time seated. We certainly were.. spending $200 in less than an hour is really an extravagant night for us it was just difficult with the constant feeling of being hurried. Took a little away from our experience.. that halibut and ambiance tho.. if you haven't been here you need to.. romantic and delicious.
All of the things you've heard are "wright" ;) I came to
All of the things you've heard are "wright" ;) I came to Wright's Tavern with a friend last minute not knowing what to expect. To start, I ordered the Negroni Bianco & a friend ordered the Wright's infamous Gin Martini which came with the cute sidecar! I loved that they gave you that, it kept the gin nice & cold for when you were ready for your refill! I had the Shrimp Scampi although everyone raves about the Halibut so that will be on my list for next time! This entree came with so much shrimp I had plenty to take home for left overs! The restaurant is quite small & there are designated spots for larger parties but it's definitely tight in there. Also, this restaurant is pretty busy & there is only street parking available so be on the lookout for parking! I hear it's VERY hard to get on the books here so watch out on the 30th or 31st of each month at midnight because that's when they release their reservations for the next month! The more you know!
Located at the center of Clayton, Wright's Tavern is a
Located at the center of Clayton, Wright's Tavern is a frequently visited spot for celebrations and gatherings. Making a reservation is a must in order to secure a table. Street parking is tricky. I visited Wright's Tavern on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is completely packed, though the cozy ambience and background music are lovely. Service is top-notch. Our server frequently came over to refill our water, and check if there are anything we need. As far as food, my favorites are 1) shrimp scampi and the 2) halibuts. For the shrimp scampi, the jumbo shrimp was cooked with a great garlic spicy sauce. Two pieces of bread came with that for dipping. Love the halibut as well -- The fish is perfectly cooked. It is light and flaky, with crunchy potato crisp on top. Well done! Two other items we ordered are average: 1) Roasted chicken: The sauce is overly salty, though the protein is prepared perfectly. 2) Cream brulee Regardless of some misses, Wright Tavern is still a nice spot to capture some fond memories with loved ones.
Wasnt sure what to expect here but it did not let us down.
With only 20ish tables it is quite quaint. The old fashion was spot on with aged bourbon. The salad had a load of shredded cheese on top. I like cheese on my salad and this was the most I have ever seen. It is a large and very tasty salad. The main course was a nice size halibut filet on a bed of string beans and a cream sauce. Probably the best halibut I have ever had. For desert we ordered the crème brûlée- that was good, but the show stopper was the ice cream sundae. Three scoops with a whipped topping and hot chocolate syrup. The sundae came on a plate with all sorts of extra toppings such as sprinkles, nuts, cherries, kit kat, etc. Cant wait to go back.
Loved sitting at the chefs counter
The seafood pasta was exquisite. Had lobster, shrimp and scallops and the sherry sauce was delicious. Lighter and much better than Alfredo sauce. The bread and edamame they provide for free is so amazing. What a nice complimentary treat. The service is so fabulous. This is our third time here and we love this place. Never disappointed.
Interesting changes with the new chef
We have gone to the Tavern on many occasions in the past. The staff is very friendly and the food is good but not near the selection and preparation available as in the past. That was disappointing, however, the biggest disappointment is the desert choices. The half backed chocolate chip cookie was the best we ever had in the past and it is no longer served. We were very disappointed with the choices available for deserts. Overall The Tavern is a different kind of restaurant than it was in the past.
Wonderful all-around Experience
This restaurant never disappoints. The food is outstanding including plate presentation. Staff is very attentive and each member makes a point of interacting throughout your visit. Servers are extremely knowledgeable of the menu, how each dish is prepared and always willing to make recommendations. This was our first visit with the new chef and menu but equally as delightful and we are anxious to return to sample other selections. We had the sirloin medallions, the Seafood Tagliatelle (lobster, scallops & crab pasta in a white lemon cream sauce), and the Chicken Ballotine (chicken leg sausage wrapped in breast with wild mushrooms and au gratin potatoes). Server always makes introduction while delivering warm fresh bread in a cast iron dish. Loved the Justin Cabernet and finished with their pistachio creme brûlée. Cannot stress enough how engaged the staff is in assuring a positive customer experience.
We stopped by for their signature dessert.
.. the ice cream sundae! This dessert comes with a scoop of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream with a large helping of whipped cream on top. There is a table side drizzle of hot fudge which is a fun experience! Toppings include: peanut butter cups, confetti sprinkles, caramel covered puffs, mint sparkle sprinkles, salted cashews, marshmallows, Biscoff cookies, small Kit Kats, cherries, M&Ms, and our favorite... toasted coconut shreds!!The ice cream was soft, creamy, and tasted almost like custard. The hot fudge was a perfect pairing and the ability to create your own bite with each topping made for an adventurous experience, perfect for family fun.This place is definitely fine dining with and elevated environment, very on par with the other higher-end restaurants in the Clayton area. There's only about 12-15 tables in the restaurant and 4 bar seats which makes the ambiance feel more cozy. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly.Rating: 4/5, the ice cream was stellar and very filling. It's a wholesome family experience that is a MUST DO when you visit this restaurant! We hope to be back to try their food and drinks soon!
Food is GREAT, hostess clearly has strict instructions to
Food is GREAT, hostess clearly has strict instructions to keep every one of the limited seats warm (butts in seats at all costs) and hence makes for an uncomfortable tense seating environment. I didn't appreciate how the hostess made me feel, specifically related to waiting across the street for our seat, which we told her that we would wait across the street (no waiting area at Wright's), only to be called and told to slam our drinks and leave my friend to pay the bill so my friend could make sure we were seated asap...only to have a seat against the wall, at the bar. No big deal but the seats were not worth slamming our $14 drinks for a bar seat. Relax, I'm here to relax.
Was super excited to get a hard to come by reservation.
Ambiance and service were absolutely fantastic. The Manhattan was probably one of the best spirit forward cocktails I've had, with lovely subtle coffee notes from the coffee steeped sweet vermouth. The bread is wonderful, and the soft salted butter/peppery olive oil that's served with it is uniquely addicting. The shrimp scampi and crab cake apps are both absolutely worth ordering again. Both the Caesar and green goddess salads were executed very well. Halibut entree was delicious, French dip was good as well. The French fries are big in portion and flavor. Basically if I had to critique something, it would be the steak that came with the steak and frites entree. It just didn't quite hit the mark, like it lacked seasoning. Certainly wasn't bad, but was not the highlight of the meal. Was a minor critique in what was otherwise a tremendous experience. Such a unique place. Can't wait to get back and try the burger!
Intimate ambience with excellent food and service
Intimate ambience with excellent food and service (Sean/Shawn is the best). I was surprised by the large portion sizes. Scampi and crab cake were the favorite items of the table. Steak and French dip were also good.

Walked in at around 6:20 on a Friday and got seated at the bar by 8:30 (grabbed a lovely drink across the street while waiting). The highlight is for sure the crab cakes--much more crab than cake which is the ratio I am here for! Try to get a reservation if you can as bar seating is extremely limited (4 spots).
Passing through the St Louis area we ended up having dinner
Passing through the St Louis area we ended up having dinner at Wright's Tavern. We called to get a reservation on a Monday night and they were booked but were told we could sit at the bar. When we arrived at about 8pm there were two seats at the four seat bar. The place was packed. It's not large to begin with. Sean was behind the bar and took care of us with manhattans and old fashioned then we ordered a dozen oysters. Excellent. I had their crab cake appetizer (it's one huge crab cake. Don't pass this up) and hubs had the filet. The seating isn't conducive to lingering and we did not. The most physically uncomfortable seating I've ever experienced but the food helps one to forget all that. Just don't plan on hanging out unless you're in a cushioned booth along the walls. Overall this was an excellent place to dine.
Great service great foodBest crab cake I've ever eatenThe
Great service great foodBest crab cake I've ever eatenThe old fashion was also delish
First off, i fratellini that was located here before was my
First off, i fratellini that was located here before was my favorite St. Louis restaurant... So, naturally I had to give Wright's Tavern a shot. The ambiance and decor was great. I love the changes they made. The service as was with ifratellini, was remarkable. I ordered their martini (w/ vodka) and it was one of the best I have had. We had the shrimp and crab cake for an appetizer. Both were delicious. The shrimp were very large and the crab cake was the size of a pancake. Being born in Baltimore it is difficult to compete with Maryland Crab Cakes, but these were quite good. I also ordered the Bib salad and it was by far the best salad I have ever had. Very fresh and light.For the main course I order the bone-in ribeye with mashed potatoes, spinach, and onion rings to share. The steak was just okay. It could of used some salt and pepper. Very bland. Of the sides the onion rings were the best with everything else just being okay. The steak was served on top of a mustard jus which I didn't like. Honestly, the steak was the only disappointing part of the meal.I will come back to give it another try, but will probably order the wagyu burger instead.
The beautiful ambiance and food are amazing.
Our server was so professional and guided us through the whole menu and was very attentive to our needs. Very satisfied with my experience.
Best French dip of my LIFE.
the wedge salad was also to die for. Excited to go back and try more soon.
Love this place!!
We have now enjoyed our second visit here and had a great time from start to finish. Great service!! Above and beyond tonight in making my spouse’s birthday a fun time. We love sitting at the kitchen counter and watching the amazing chefs. That team is a well oiled machine. Prices are highly reasonable and the filet imperial steak entree was incredible. The Caesar salad has all the right touches. The presentation of food is neat and pretty. Will definitely return to celebrate other occasions and also bring company/family here.
