While their food is DELISH, I only ever seem to get there after the kitchen's closed. It's okay though because their cocktail menu and back patio fire pits keep me coming back. Occasionally live music/DJ's are in residence as well! Such a great place!

Sightseeing

It IS a National Park, and it gives a great short history of the Jefferson Expansion (aka the Louisiana Purchase, for all you history buffs).

It's just one location in the grand Forest Park, which was essentially created for the 1904 World's Fair. The different pavilions, walking paths, fountains and waterways are ALL great to enjoy. The World's Fair Pavilion has a pretty great hill to fly kites and picnic on.

Parks & Nature

Great place to take a short day hike with beautiful views over the river. Wear your bug spray and keep an eye out for poison ivy though - as it is a state park!

Best if enjoyed with friends (two legged or four legged), on sunny or not days. The fall is the best for leaf peeping but the park can entertain you through all seasons!
