"My husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at Idol Wolf. Our first time visiting this establishment on a recommendation from an office co-worker. We arrived early to visit the museum and the excellent architectural work. Our table was ready before our reservation and our server, Lee, was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the evening with recommendations for drinks and food. Thank you for making this a very memorable experience for the both of us."

"Idol Wolf is a bar and restaurant inside the 21c hotel in St Louis. There's no parking here, so it's either street parking or very expensive valet parking. Their menu is a good size, with pricing being a bit high for the portion size but the taste being great. The bar is well stocked and specializes in whiskey and Scotch but has everything else. The service here is phenomenal, with the bartender being super friendly and helpful and the wait staff being quick on getting you what you need. It was a cool experience inside because of the art around too. Overall a solid spot, especially if you're staying at the hotel."

"While the credits provided by the American Express program were probably only good enough for one meal here, most of the dishes that my partner and I had were tasty and it was an enjoyable experience overall. We tried to keep our options limited so we could keep our spending reasonable, but I can already say that I would recommend people visiting St. Louis or even staying at the hotel check this establishment out.

In terms of the tapas, the patatas bravas had some very tasty potatoes! The aioli complemented the existing flavor very well, and the potatoes themselves were fried on point. They also had very nice crunch and texturally maintained a good balance between crunchiness and softness. The "chorizo" roasted hen of the woods dish had a masa cake that resembled polenta in terms of both flavor and texture, and the smoked aioli offered a nice addition. The mushroom on the top was way too salty and oily, though, so I really had to eat it with the masa cake to make it work.

Under "from the sea" category, the tuna on toast offered a juxtaposition of various flavors because of the ingredients from tuna to tallow aioli to the herbs. The toast itself also tasted really good, so whatever I placed together with the toast simply offered an amazing taste. I enjoyed it thoroughly. As for the squid ink pasta, the calamari was a bit chewy, and the pasta was definitely overcooked beyond al dente, on top of the fact that every bit of pasta was a small piece of pasta noodle that couldn't even stay on my fork. I think using spaghetti or bucatini in the future may be a better idea so customers can use their forks to roll the pasta noodles. The tomato sauce had a strong taste, which wasn't a bad thing. It was a very specific kind of tomato sauce and I couldn't quite tell what was included.

Once again, for those visiting St. Louis and / or staying at the 21c Museum Hotel, I would recommend them giving this establishment a try, and maybe even choose different dishes across several tries so that there would be a comprehensive experience all around."
