Dinner at The Tenderloin Room was one of the experiences we were most looking forward to during our trip to St. Louis. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. Service was shoddy at best. We heard more from the water refill staff than from our actual server all evening. Despite the restaurant being lightly attended, we waited an unusually long time, which felt off from the start. When the food finally arrived, everything we ordered came out over about 15 minutes and 4–5 separate trips, completely disrupting the flow of the meal. There’s always an uncomfortable moment where you debate saying something about your food, but we were so hungry after such a long wait that we felt stuck eating as it arrived. We wanted to wait until the entire meal was served, but that clearly wasn’t going to happen. Once all the food was finally out, we waited for our server to return—he didn’t. His next appearance was to drop off the check while we were still eating. We hoped a manager might stop by, but we could barely get our server back even once more. His only explanation throughout the night was referencing another “difficult table,” which should not have impacted our experience the way it did. Given the overall experience, the food was incredibly overpriced. After the trip, I made a sincere effort to share this feedback directly with the restaurant and the general manager, Anthony. I first reached out via email in early November. Here we are nearly at Christmas, and there has been no follow-up beyond an initial “when can we connect by phone?” And “sorry I was out of town” —despite multiple emails from me. I would not recommend The Tenderloin Room…at all. The food was cold. The service was cold. The atmosphere was cold. And any attempt to provide feedback afterward was a failure.

The food and service at The Tenderloin Room are phenomenal. It was our first time going, and we went for my birthday meal. I am incredibly pleased with our choice. My husband had the scallops, which were seared to perfection. I had the 10-oz Australian Wagyu Strip. They brought out a piece of strawberry cheesecake for my birthday at the end, and by then we were so full we had to pack it up to take home. If you're thinking about coming here, do it; you will be happy you did. I look forward to our next visit.

The service was great but the atmosphere was a little odd, and the food - while decent - did not blow me away. At this price point, I would expect better. I'll give it another chance in the future, and is probably worth a stop if you're at the hotel and looking for a decent steak. But I don't think it's something worth going out of your way for.

Alright, someone remind me why I keep sleeping on our St. Louis staples? Because The Tenderloin Room at the Chase Park Plaza just woke me all the way up. Now, let me set the scene: parking? Yeah, good luck. Unless you enjoy circling the block like you’re training for NASCAR, just surrender to the valet and call it a day. Totally worth it. Step inside, and bam — those stained glass windows in the bar area? Gorgeous. Like, “Am I supposed to be sipping a cocktail or quietly admiring art?” levels of stunning. We kicked things off with the crab dip because, obviously. It was creamy & dreamy, and the kind of starter that makes you realize you’re in for a night of gluttony. Then came the surf and turf, my personal teamwork challenge since I’m not about that flesh life. My friend took on the steak like a champ, and I handled the seafood side of things. Sharing is caring, right? We added fingerlings to round it out, and oh, let me tell you, those potatoes were crispy little golden nuggets of perfection. And the bread and butter? TO. DIE. FOR. I’m talking “cancel your main course and just live off this bread basket” levels of good. Moral of the story: I need to stop underestimating the gems in my own backyard.

5 star rated steaks that are perfectly seasoned, that just melt in your mouth. Do not be swayed by the location at the hotel as this is not just a place for guests. This, by far, was the best homemade steak sauce I've ever had, so when they come over to the table with a fresh pot asking if you would like some, say YES! The garlic mashed potatoes were so simple but just a perfect painting with the right amount of seasoning. The service was amazing, as well as the crafted cocktails, especially the old fashioned. You are going to pay about $70 a steak, but my 10oz filet mignon was absolutely mouthwatering. Definitely worth is to celebrate that special occasion or for a romantic date night not. Loved our time here and the stained glass bar is beautiful!
