   The service was very fast and the food was really good. However, we felt the waiter was rushing us all the time, he tried to take our plates from the table when we were not even done eating. It was my birthday celebration and we brought a cake. When the waiter brought it to the table, he did not ask if we wanted to slice it already and he did and we did not get to sing happy birthday with the cake. We asked for separate checks at the beginning and he said it was okay. He never mentioned or added the 20% of tips to the checks. He assumed we knew it was a 20% minimum. Not all customers tipped 20% because they did not know there was a minimum for large parties. When he brought the checks he claim to us that he was not going to accept less than 20% of the tips. He also said that it all needed to be in one check for the table when he clearly said we could do separate checks. He got rude at the end of the night and was demanding the 20% of the tips when he clearly did not deserve it because we did not like the service he gave us.

    Always a great meal at Il Bel Lago. Our favorite thing to order is the cannelloni and their “adult mac and cheese.”

    Perhaps best food in the STL. Ossobuco over truffle mash was out of this world. Restaurant was full, but service was spot on. Chris did a great job, can’t wait to go back.

    Honestly, STL is another example of modern day slavery in action. Those of you on your allyship journey processes this……. Out of 100 people my wife, daughter, and I were the only black customers. When we surveyed the staff, most if not all the head waiters were all white while all of the staff hired to clean tables, fill water glasses, and deliver bread were people of color. This is the America I live in and the America we have created, most in the restaurant probably didn’t even notice because their world has always been white. I loved the food and the service was great, but as a black man there are some things I don’t have the luxury of not seeing. I challenge this restaurant to try and do better, if you can and willing. Allow me to see me in your staff other than just clean up duty.

    We took our family of 7 and our 20 month old grandson there for an early New Year’s celebration. Our reservation was at 6:30pm. We seated at a very small table which had lots of waiter and busboy traffic. Obviously we were in the unwanted corner. t offered one because of the poor seating arrangement we were given. Our waiter, John, refused to take our order out of seating order. All of our food was fabulous and they were aware of our nut allergies that I had listed on our Open Door reservation. I do not believe they have high chairs or maybe we just weren’ I was definitely impressed by the quality of the food.

    quieter booth setting available and appreciated. Reimagined outdoor seating with nearby fountain is fun in season. The food is classic St. Louis Italian done very well which means it's the best.

    We dined at Il Bel Lago this past month for my mom’s birthday. First off, as soon as we walked in, the host just looked at us without saying a word or any facial expression. I said that we had a reservation and gave our name, then again without saying anything he motioned us to our table. Decided not to focus on that. We had 11 people, 7 adults and 4 children, and were pleasantly surprised that we had a private room which was beautiful. Our waiter Anthony was a little arrogant but bearable. He was attentive. We ordered a lot food and it was overall pretty good. Things turned sour when toward the end of the evening we noticed we had some bread left over in our baskets and rather than have them throw it away, my mom asked our waiter for us to keep the leftover bread. He was visibly offended by this request as if we asked for something completely unreasonable and continued to clear our table. Anthony then told my mom very rudely that we could not keep the bread (that we had been eating from all evening) because this bread would be used to make croutons the next day. Cringey considering we had some of those contaminated croutons on the salads we ordered. He then decided to leave 1 of the 4 baskets but said that he had nothing for us to put this bread in to be able to take it home. We left it on the table for him. First, the practice of reusing the bread that the restaurant customers touched throughout their meal is appalling. I am sure restaurants do it, but to hear this is happening in a “fine dining” establishment is disgusting. Secondly, I have never had the experience of not being allowed to take home food that I paid for. I never leave bad reviews but this has been on my mind since the visit there several weeks ago. My whole family was appalled and we will never return.
