michaelstl,

I whole heartedly agree about Erato. I was incredibly surprised at the quality of food, and more so with the knowledgable staff.

The wife and I eat out a lot. Niche is our current favorite. Erato, while not better, in this humble man's opinion, was still one of the 5 best meals we have had here in St. Louis.

I would love to convince the client to come over here as the drive ain't all that bad compared to Edwardsville. She is admant though...

Thanks for the suggestions.

AJ

I live in St. Louis and am fairly familiar with the restaurants around this town. However, I have a client in town who will be staying in Fairview Heights, Illinois and wants to go out to dinner....

Need some help. The only restaurants I know of in the Metro East area are Naruda and Erato in Edwardsville. Both were very good but we have taken this particular client to both places.

I am looking for someplace with good food and good wine in the Metro East area. Anybody able to help?
