BEST BREAD PUDDING! Our whole dining experience was awesome and we find there is no better way to end a meal than with a great dessert for cleansing the palate. The place was hopping on a Thursday night but we were able to get seated right away just before 6pm. Bethany was our server and she was knowledgeable with the menu and very attentive throughout the meal. I started with an Old Fashioned but they have a really wonderful cocktail list to choose from. We then ordered a few appetizers. The Risotto Balls with braised short ribs were over the top tasty. We then tried the flash-fried cauliflower with buffalo sauce also a hit. We ended with the salmon cakes which were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside served with a remoulade you could dip the cakes in to. Still hungry we split the plant-based Car 'Nay" Asada Tacos that were served with charred poblano and avocado crema and they were awesome. What a great way to eat healthy. This motivated us to try the bread pudding which is the best I have ever had. Parts of the bread pudding were crispy and parts were soft served along a scoop of Ices Plain and Fancy Vanilla ice cream. We loved everything we ordered but DO NOT pass on the bread pudding!

This place is great for happy hour! Discounted drinks and food that tasted amazing! The Risotto balls are definitely a must, cheesy and fried to golden perfection. The feta dip was a wonderful blend of savory and sweet. It was served with very crisp bread, while I prefer a softer bread for dips but it was still good.

This is one of the best experiences I have ever had with food. The Mac and cheese is to die for and the garlic fries are also amazing. I had the farmhouse burger, which was fantastic and the gnocchi, which was the best I had ever had in my life. Staff was friendly and we were seated and served quickly despite the busyness of the restaurant.

During my recent visit to St. Louis, I had the pleasure of dining at Retreat Gastropub, and it was truly a fabulous experience. From the expertly crafted cocktails to the delicious food, this establishment left a lasting impression on me. As lovers of mezcal, we were thrilled to discover the Camouflage Garden. This mezcal-based drink was a masterpiece, perfectly balanced and bursting with unique flavors. It has now become our favorite mezcal drink! The feta spread accompanied by the red pepper jelly was addictive. The brussels sprouts were another standout dish. Cooked to perfection, they had a delightful char and were seasoned just right. I highly recommend Retreat Gastropub, whether you're looking for a casual meal or a place to indulge in fantastic food and cocktails, Retreat Gastropub delivers on all fronts.

Father’s Day dinner was delicious and fun at this CWE darling pub.We ordered the Parmesan Garlic Fries as an appetizer. Watch out because the fries are habit forming. They come with ketchup and parmesan aioli on the side. I ordered the Classic Burger cooked medium and it was served medium. Thank you Chef! The burger had an excellent char to it which I like but I don’t get at most restaurants. Our server, Maya, was excellent. I always asked the server for recommendations when it’s my first time eating at the restaurant. My daughter ordered the strip steak which was also excellent and my son also ordered the classic burger. They have several tables around the bar, which is where we sat, and a separate dining room in the back. There’s a fun energy vibe happening. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
