Kemoll's Chophouse

We wanted to take our kids to a nice Italian restaurant. There was no seating available for Paul Manno so we ended up going to this restaurant. I normally don't like to go to Westport Plaza due to its parking. Once you park, you need to walk a distance to your restaurant. The restaurant wasn't too busy. It had a nice decor and good ambience. Staff was courteous. I ordered a sautéed shrimp scampi and was confused the noodle would come with shrimp. They were nice enough to add noodle into my entrée even though it was not included. The food was ok with this price range. There were plenty of Italian restaurants in St Louis. With this price, I would recommend Paul Manno or Charlie Gitto instead.

If you are looking for a high-end, gourmet, pristine-atmosphere dining experience for a special occasion or night out to impress your clients, this is the place to be! The above description should give you and immediate summation of the menu-items you can expect to find, as well as the fully-stocked bar and trained staff that perform top-notch service you would expect to see. The dinners are absolutely delicious! I had the baked salmon and was pleasantly surprised with a healthy, meaty portion of fish served on a mixed bed of rice and other chopped vegetables. One of the best meals this side of Heaven that you could hope for! Many delectable desserts are also available, but due to time constraints, I was unable to try one. Tables can be set for large or small parties, and there are lower-priced items, but figure you will spend $30.00 - $50.00 (or more) per person. Well worth experiencing and truly memorable!

A good place to catch up with friends. Not too loud. Little up-scale. Generally an older crowd. We went for a Saturday Happy Hour, and the artichokes toasted raviolis and the crab cakes. Mostly good stuff, but I live in the DMV and it's hard to beat DMV crab cakes. They weren't bad here, just not to my standards. The service was pretty good. Not too much to complain about. I would go back again and try their dinner menu.

LOVE , LOVE, LOVE! Mark Cusamano is doing a great job carrying on his family restaurant! The historic pictures on the walls have lovely stories worth asking about. Beautiful new location at West Port. Romantic and elegant. Fabulous drinks and wine. Food is melt in your mouth good!! Veal Parmigiano, salad and house garlic cheesebread are to die for. Unexpected but the sweet tai chilli chicken bites were great!! Keep eyes open for local celebrities they frequently visit unnoticed. Always look forward to going in.

Family owned restaurant. Very elegant if slightly bland seated quickly and water glasses filled immediately. Strangely, not given menu's as seated. But when given, was told specials as well as what they had ran out of so knew not to order. With a surprisingly small choices of foods to choose from, a restaurant of this caliber should never do. Our food once ordered came quickly. My friend's food was a large portion of pasta. My filet mignon was supposedly 10 oz but think was more like 6 oz. Though I order it at medium I received a rare piece of meat. As in not just extremely red in center but actually cold and obviously no where close to being cooked in center nor checked by a meat thermometer which is essential when cooking meat. Especially this choice of meat. Was under seasoned also. My salad and side of a baked potato was perfect and enjoyed as well as my triple chocolate piece of cake I ordered to go. I enjoyed the atmosphere and piano players choices to play and sing. He had a beautiful voice and really added to the eating experience.

The food was amazing! I wasn't wowed by the crab cakes which were dry but everything else we had was to die for. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service was phenomenal. The only issue is that it's difficult to find. GPS took me somewhere else and walking around it wasn't easy to locate. We ended up having to call and ask for directions. The other issue, which wasn't their fault, was that a lady at the table next to us was playing music on her phone. As much as I can enjoy a good Garth Brooks song I wasn't looking for it out of a phone speaker at a $200 dinner. That aside I would definitely recommend it and go back for special occasions.
