- CChrisSt. Louis •1 review5.0Dined on 10 Oct 2026We finally tried Blood & Sand for our anniversary recently and loved every bit of it. The drinks are top notch and amazingly crafted. The food was equally as amazing and had tons of flavor. Each dish was unique and had great flavor. Service was also amazing and we would definitely go back to try the rest of what we didn't get a chance to sample. Wonderful ambiance and setting.More infoBlood and Sand$$$$• Contemporary American• Downtown St. Louis•4.3
