Best prime Rib EVER 10/4/2010

I was in town on business and the hotel bartender suggested Kreis'. It was--without a doubt--the best prime rib I've ever had. Our server didn't hover, but we were never without drink refills. The ambience seems a little old school and it the lighting is low. I highly recommend it! more

Nobody goes there; it's too crowded! 12/1/2007

For the many who will surely making their first-time visit Kreis' Restaurant, please remember that Kreis' is as much or more an honorable and frequently-visited ""exclusive private club"" than it is a ""public facility."" Those of us who have spent most of our lives living in or near Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac, Creve Coeur & Huntleigh have long, long known and relied upon Kreis' George, Pat, Demetri, et al., to consistently deliver great drinks, fine food, superb service! Take my personal, selfish advice (which I copy from Yoggi Berra): ""Nobody goes there, it's too crowded!?. more

Great Culinary Experience!! 9/14/2007

I have been a customer of Kreis' Restaurant since the original owners, Mr. & Mrs. Kreis owned the place. I can honestly say that the steaks there are excellent. I did have to wait, even though I had a reservation, the last time I was there. But, I will say that it was worth the wait, and it always is. I'm a steak person, and you just can't beat the steaks there - - - excellent!!!! Pros: great tasting steaks more

May be great steaks but not great seafood! 2/11/2007

We went to Kreis' for my Mom's birthday. Had a filet the night before at another St. Louis restaurant and decided to go for seafood, so I asked the server about the scallops. He said they were one of their best seafood entrees. I travel all over the country and have had scallops in many cities. If this was their best seafood entree, I would not want to try any of their other seafood. The scallops, while large, had little flavor and were very tough and rubbery. It is the first time in my life that I have not finished my scallops, in fact, I only ate about half of them. I didn't want to make a fuss about them, as it was my Mom's birthday and she was enjoying her filet so much (I had a bite and it was great...go for it if you visit here), I didn't want to say anything. What I really found interesting was the reaction of the server. He didn't blink an eye when he cleared off my plate before anyone else was finished and didn't even ask if everything was ok. Most good restaurants or great restaurants ask. So, go for the filet but avoid the seafood. Pros: filet Cons: seafood, especially the scallops and the decor could use an update and a shower... more

save time and money! 6/23/2005

Well I read a few of the reviews on this web site and went anyway. Boy the negative ones were right. I could not believe the attitudes of the staff and servers. There was a wait even with reservations. God what a rip off, the prices were bad and just too marked up. The vegetables were wilted and shriveling, a sign that everything was old. The meat was loaded with nitrates to turn it red. The service was slow at best. The food was just good, not the best in the world which is what they tout them selves as. Pros: parking barley, steak Cons: staff, service, price more

An All Time Great 8/5/2004

Kreis's is a St.Louis treasure. People come from all over the midwest for the prime rib. Favorites like the Vienna beef tenderloin and the veal dishes remain wonderful and consistent. The service is professional and old-world. The waiters are all forty-five years old or more, it seems, and they wear red jackets. The homemade apple strudel served warm with vanilla sauce is a must. Although the wine list is not extensive, the bar makes one of the better martinis I've ever had. Forget about all the chains. Kreis's will keep you cming back. Pros: Huge portions, great service, consistently good Cons: can be loud more

Steak 6/11/2004

We have never made a reservation but I wold recommed it. The food is wonderful. The staff attentive. They have a great claret that we have been unable to find elsewhere. The atmosphere is an old boys club dark wook study type of place. Never had a bad experience there but have had quite a few good times there. Not for kids. more

over-rated 6/5/2004

Yea it's a good steak, but the price is way over board. The staff has a attitude after all this is a posh place. I would save my money and eat else where. Even with a reservation i still had to wait to be seated, that was just plain rude of them. I don't think I'll be going back. Pros: good steaks, ok parking Cons: , Service, selection more

beef lover 7/2/2003

The best beef I've eaten anywhere in the country. Cooked exactly to order is exactly what you will get. Some beef may look good at other restaurants and will be not quite as tender as should be expected. This will never happen at Kreis'. I personally recommend the Prime Rib for dinner and finish it off with the best Apple Struedel on the planet. Kreis' is the best Steak House in St. Louis. Pros: Down to earth, only the best waiters, relaxed atmosphere Cons: access from road more
