Sandrina's

A really great place for truly great food in a great location. The menu features everything from comfort food to really tasty, chef-inspired entrees. The five stars is easily locked in through the solid offering of vegetarian items. As of the time of this posting, the bar is temporarily closed, but it should not stop you from grabbing lunch or dinner. In the evenings when the bar is open, it is relatively uncrowded until after 10 pm when it really picks up. Drinks are cheap and poured well.

5 stars doesn't really cover this for me. I've used terms like "friendly staff" before in other reviews, but this place takes it to a whole new level. I was blown away by how friendly the staff was (especially the bar manager, kudos!) The food was excellent, and where a lot of restaurants either have a vegetarian option or two, or are vegetarian focused, this place had a fantastic balance of having yummy vegetarian options but also had plenty of stuff for non vegetarians, which makes it excellent for mixed groups. One item in particular - a vegetarian version of toasted ravioli is something that I have been wanting to find for a long time. If you can't tell yet, I was really taken by this place. I can't wait to go back to try their vegetarian brunch on a Sunday or just for another good meal. Highly, highly recommended.

Sandrina's has a comfortable, casual setting with a neighborhood restaurant feel. We walked in to a very welcoming, helpful staff, and friendly customers. This was my first visit, but I've driven by this place on many late nights, and it always seems decently busy for late night, even weeknights. It's just popular enough with the late night crowd not to be too crowded. I'm sure it's popular because of the good food, great service, ANNNNND they serve their FULL menu, with a WIDE variety of choices, until 2:00AM! Not many places offer THAT! Service was pretty fantastic! And, no, I'm NOT exaggerating. We sat at a table in the bar room, late night for dinner, and got great service, (better than we get at many restaurants)! The bartender's name was Rocky, and he came to our table to take our order and was our server. He was very pleasant and friendly; he checked in on us just frequently enough during our meal to make sure we had everything we wanted. He asked to fill our beverages before we even thought about it. We even had a few brief conversations about a common interest. Personable and courteous; he served up some good vibes with our meal! 😊 Nice job, thanks, Rocky! 😁 The food was delicious! Their nachos can be topped with chicken, steak, or portabello mushrooms as heartier fare, but we ordered our nachos as they come. We were served a full platter of deliciousness baked piping hot on an airy, crispy, pita-like bread/tortilla. SO tasty! MUCH better than the traditional tortilla chip nachos that most restaurants offer. These came loaded with delectable toppings...black beans, which were cooked in red wine; this gave them an aromatic, palate-brightening flavor. Great idea! The nachos were topped with a good amount of hot melted cheddar cheese, a robust chunky salsa, rich sour cream, and some jalapeno slices for a little kick. They were super good! The lady who had apparently made our food, walked by our table at some point during our meal and she noticed that I had pulled the jalapenos to the side of my nachos. She said to just let her know next time and she'll put them on the side, or hold them. I had forgotten to order them on the side, but I was pretty impressed that she even noticed! And then she took the time to stop and say something to improve my experience the next time. Way to go! (I'm already extremely pleased THIS time!!! 😄) We also ordered the Dad's Burger with onion rings. The burger was large and thick and juicy! The onion rings were fried to perfection, a crispy golden brown...they were really something special, and worth the trip in itself...yum! We also ordered a "build your own" 10" thin crust pizza with black beans, black olives, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers. I know, I know, strange combination, lol, what can I say? ...but it was the bomb! 🍕💞 Of course, I was too full from the nachos to eat much pizza, 😳 so they gave me a few boxes for the leftover food. And so, today, I had an awesome lunch to boot! 😎 Sandrina's is a rare, hidden gem! 💎 I already know that I won't just be driving by it 🚗 in the future; they're gonna come to know me by name...for all the good reasons! 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Seriously some of the best food in all of St Louis and they are own and serving LATE. Excellent bar with friendly and hip staff. Sandrina's is the perfect place to end a night out on the town in St. Louis. Whether you're hungry for a full, top notch meal or just one of their incredible appetizers to go with one of their excellent cocktails, you'll be glad you stopped in here.

I can tell you this about Sandrinas, the food is great, and most of the staff that was worthless is gone or on their way out. New blood is coming in including new key leadership roles to keep them at the highest standards. Give them another try if you had a bad experience in the past. You won't be disappointed.
