Restaurant  4 Star Rating - Very good

Relax and enjoy the view of the city of St. Louis from the only revolving restaurant in the area. It takes about an hour to completely revolve, so plenty of time for dinner. A little expensive, but very nice.

Terrible  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

My boyfriend and I went to Top of the Riverfront last night for Restaurant Week. We will not be going back. The prime rib was so tough I almost couldn't cut it, let alone chew it. The creme brule was rubbery and I suspect had been sitting in the fridge for a few days before they tossed it on the table. They also said they validate parking across the street, but after using the ticket they gave me to get out of the garage I still had to pay $7. Two thumbs down.

Best view other than the arch  4 Star Rating - Very good

I loved this place. It's an expensive date, but worth seeing at least once. While we were there, we watched a thunderstorm off in the distance. It was remarkable. The view is the best you'll get, other than going up in the arch. While the food was great, be prepared to pay for the experience. is it worth it? Absolutely. It's a superb spot for special occasions, and very romantic.

Beautiful views with and intimate touch  4 Star Rating - Very good

Top of the Riverfront is one of Saint Louis' ideal restaurants for the most important date like engagements, anniverseries, or just an elegant place to romance the love of your life. The restaurant is located at the top of the Millenium Hotel in the historic downtown and offers miraculous views of the city while listening to live piano music playing sappy love songs from the past. While enjoying fine dining, the restaurant rotates to give you spectacular views of the mighty Mississippi, the Arch, Busch Stadium, and other grande structure like the courthouse. This is must dine for anyone looking for an intimate setting with excellent service and great cuisine. I proposed to my fiance at this restaurant because of its romantic flare it offered. The view of the city is miraculous and the live piano music is enticing. We love the experience and will go back for our special occasions.

PROS: Incredible city views, professional service, very intimate and romatic
CONS: Priced a little high for food quality, seating availability is limited

Don't waste your time!!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I had to write this review because before we went, I checked out the other reviews and thought it would be great. Please don't waste your time!!

I am not accustomed to going to fancy restaurants, but was excited to finally go to this one (the view was mostly what I was looking forward to). Let me tell you ... this restaraunt is waaaayyyy past its prime. Everything from the shabby carpet, bathrooms, uniforms, and employees. Our waitress was very nice and did everything correctly, but the other wait staff looked worn out. Their uniforms were worn out too. The appetizer was good, my steak was way overcooked. The grime on the windows was noticed after seeing a big black ro* ach crawl down the window as I was eating my overcooked steak. Overall, I was pretty disgusted. I would expect this restaurant to be at least as clean as our local TGI Fridays, or Applebees, but it wasn't... trust me!!! (It's odd that this review won't let me write the word ro * achwithout the * - HUH?)

Pros: View
Cons: Everything else

GREAT DATE NIGHT EXPERIENCE. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. YOU'LL BE SURE TO IMPRESS HER. 4 Star Rating - Very good

I TOOK MY GIRLFRIEND ON SATURDAY 8-16-08 FOR HER BIRTHDAY. OUR FIRST TIME. DECOR INSIDE WAS OLD AND NEEDED A LITTLE SPRUCING UP. THE VIEWS WERE AMAZING. OUR WAITER WAS GREAT. THE MENU WAS A THREE COURSE MENU $25 PER PERSON INCLUDING AN APPETIZER OR SALAD, AN ENTREE, AND A DESERT. I GOT OUT OF THEIR SPENDING UNDER $70 BUCKS WITHOUT TIP AFTER I HAD A BEER AND SHE HAD A GLASS OF WINE. I HAD A GOAT CHEESE AND MUSHROOM STRUDEL, A PRIME RIB, AND A BAKALAVA CHOCOLATE BROWNIE WITH ICECREAM. THE STRUDEL WAS GREAT UNLIKE ANYTHING I'D EVER HAD BEFORE, PRIME RIB WAS AVERAGE, AND BAKALAVA BROWNIE WAS AWESOME. MY GIRLFRIEND HAD AN APPLE SOUP, TUTOMORE PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB, AND CREME BRUELLE. SHE SAID THE SOUP WAS OK, PASTA WAS AVERAGE, AND CREME BRUELLE WAS WORSE THAN INSTANT PUDDING. OVERALL I HAD A GOOD MEAL BUT MIGHT TRY A DIFFERENT ENTREE. I WOULD STEER CLEAR OF HER CHOICES.

Pros: VIEWS, PIANO PLAYER SINGING, SERVICE.
Cons: PARKING

Great Food, Great views- pricey, but you have to expect that from a restaurant like this 4 Star Rating - Very good

We showed up without a reservation (4 of us) and the hostess was very accommodating. They fit us into the schedule and we all had steaks of varying types. the portions were plentiful and the steaks were great. Great presentation on the plate, as well.

The view was outstanding and within 90 minutes you can see a 360 degree view of the city.

Too bad the last diner had a bad experience, but ours was fine.

Pros: View and Food

Terrible food and horrible customer service! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

My husband and I went here for his 30th birthday. It was the worst experience ever! The water glasses were dirty and something was floating in the water. The food was horrific! We ordered two 14oz New York Strip Steaks with potatoes and vegetables. The steak were extremely tough and distasteful and the potatoes were disgusting! My husband and I both vomitted when we got home. We called when we got home to complain about the food. The director mentioned there was nothing he could do. This was the worst experience ever. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! Beware!
