   Menu shown on OpenTable does not match pasta choices on actual menu. Two choices on both. Fettuccine only on the actual menu. FIVE choices only on the menu shown on OpenTable. I was going to order lasagne only to find it was not on the menu. Disappointing. Also, my wife's fettuccine was extremely salty. We had to send it back, and she ordered spaghetti instead. So, I ate my dinner and then she ate hers.

   The restaurant was very nice. Thought it was weird the door was locked to the restaurant we had to walk through the hotel. The marinara sauce tasted like something out of a can not good at all. They did not say the buttered Alfredo had mushrooms or I wouldn't of ordered it. The drinks were good the service was amazing! Being downtown I definitely thought the food would have been better.

   I was looking forward to a relaxing dinner with some good wine. The food was good, very good. They”wine list” was dismal. The place has potential but desperately needs upgraded wine list.

   We were unfamiliar with St. Louis and wanted to celebrate our 20 year anniversary somewhere nice. We booked a reservation online with no idea what to expect, but it had great reviews, and was listed in the top 10 when I searched for most romantic restaurants in St. Louis. There was one lady working and doing EVERYTHING. We both ordered Steaks which were around $45. They were pre-cut into slices, over cooked, and tough as shoe leather. Very overpriced. Not to mention the $10.95 alcohol tax for 2 - $6 beers!! This place is awful and so is St. Louis for that matter. We will never return to either. Thanks for ruining what should have been a memorable night for my wife and I.

   I recently went to the restaurant with 7 guests to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Both the service and the food were terrible. The waitress on 5 separate occasions forgot someone’s drink order even when only two people ordered a drink. With the bread she bright plates for four people. We had to ask that each person got their own plate and it took 15 min for everyone to finally have one. She completely forgot one person’s dinner order so we all chipped in parts of our so they would have something to eat. We were told that the butchers cut steak was a rib eye. That was far from true. It was a gristly inedible piece of meet. I ordered mine medium rare and it was well done. I ordered a substitution on my side dish and that did not happen. Since it was a party of eight there was an automatic 20% gratuity and no discount for completely forgetting Simone’s meal. All this couldn’t be blamed on being busy since the restaurant wasn’t even half full. Now I know why. Please learn from my mistake and avoid this restaurants at all costs.

   Don’t waste your time. I had family in town and wanted somewhere that I could make a reservation. The restaurant is in The Last Hotel. There was only one other table seated. We could not order a mimosa or Bloody Mary because they had no bartender. I offered to make my own, however they didn’t even have the key to the alcohol. The food was okay. Took forever considering there was only 1 other table. I will say, there is plenty of potential. The hotel is beautiful. It just not hitting the mark now.

    Place had so much potential based off the ambiance and first thoughts. However our server was not it. Understaffed it seemed like but the servers weren’t even trying. Just seemed to be in their own world going about everything pretty relaxed which really slowed everything. Waited about 10 minutes to be greeted and there was about 6 tables in the restaurant aside from us. Our server also sat us down right next to a couple even though we passed about 10 open tables. Really odd setting. Eventually the restaurant filled up so it didn’t make a difference. Food was okay. Flatbreads seemed to have been the call based off other reviews but I found it to taste like tostinos pizza. Crust was soft and cheese on it was meh. No spices used in the tomato sauce. I will say get the appetizer meatballs. Very delicious sauce I found myself dipping everything into for flavor. Missed order by server. Then it took 20 minutes for desert to come out. Just a bad experience but so much easy fixes. Hope they get new management that inspires and compensates the workforce enough to get more people in to work for em. Will try this place again in a year if it’s still around.

    Great Vibes, food was average. Nothing to brag about. Service was very friendly but a little slow for only about 9 people in the restaurant. Goat cheese and pizza is the way to go if you come here. Avoid the black pepper pasta.

    Tried calling this place about a reservation (needed to add 2 more people). It felt like this was the busiest restaurant in town the way gave me the run around. Needless to say we show up full party(with the plus 2) and the place is dead. There were a few people but it’s not like a Michelin star restaurant that’s been booked out for 3 months. That’s how they treated it. Food was ok bruschetta is terrible. Manager says they’re redoing the menu. Very nice guy.

    Went out for Valentine’s Day dinner. First off was not told it was inside a hotel. Had reservations for nothing. Place was not fancy as the ad made it seem. Had a dirty fork on the floor beneath my table. Then one of my dinner forks were dirty. Food was good. Not a long wait time. Cook was making pizzas with his bare hands.

    ambiance is seriously lacking. menu looks good on paper but very shallow. example: we wanted a side of veggies for a type 1 diabedic kid and they litterally had nothing to offer us. nothing. we were told that we could maybe get some spinach but that we’d have to order a steak to get it. really? i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone the bar was the only redeeming quality

    Menu was somewhat limited. Food was solid. Fried cauliflower was excellent .Entrees were eh. They were out of many of the listed wines by the glass. Asked for no olives in the salad, still got good amount of olives in the salad. Not bad, but not very good. You can do better.

    This was the worst experence ever. The only plus was the guy that parked us let us leave without having to pay parking. We waited 15 minutes for someone to ven come over and ask us "do you want to get seated, its a mess here..." which was our first warning. At our table we sat for over 40 minutes with NO ONE coming by, even giving us water. The place was dirty and the staff kept going outside to "smoke" - not sure what, but it smelt like skunk. We left and no one even noticed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

    The menu is as uninspired as it is unseasoned. The bartender failed to meet standard cocktail expectations. The management tried their best to remedy the poor experience by providing pink Himalayan salt. 2/10 would rather go to Humphrey’s

    Honestly, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. They severely understaffed and our waitress was doing everything she possibly could to take care of us. Our seating was right in front of the kitchen, which also happened to be right next to the host stand. The setup of this place was awkward and uncomfortable. 2 out of 6 plates of food were actually tolerable and our bill was overcharged. We ended up just paying and leaving because we had an event to go to. I would honestly never dine here again. This place needs some serious work.

    The food was outstanding. Everyone (party of 9) got different dishes, but loved what they got. Service was good, but not outstanding, as the restaurant appeared to be understaffed. Ultima Cucina isn't fancy, but has flavorful, high quality food.

    Went her for dinner before a show in midtown. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were impressed by the food - people got a variety of items (wings, pasta, pizza, salad, and the braised beef special) and everyone agreed the food was well made and flavorful. Space was well decorated for Christmas and we got some nice pre-show family pictures. Would definitely recommend.

    I was expecting more. They were short staffed and the server didn’t really know the menu. But we were 1 of 2 parties dining there. The pasta and pizza were good but I have never been to a place where they pre cut your filet mignon, I have food allergies and 2 times the waiter didn’t take notice and brought me things with dairy. Sort of an odd setup in a hotel lobby.
