Good Restaurants Downtown

We will be in St. Louis for the Women%26#39;s Final Four in April. We have booked the Westin. Any recommendations for good, non-chain restaurants in walking distance. We won%26#39;t have a car, but like to walk.

We are leaving the husbands and kids at home so we need a safe environment for early evening. Of course, there are always taxis if we need them.

Not looking for elegant, just really good local restaurants!

Thanks,

The Metrolink station is very close to the Westin. Hop on it and take it to 3 stops east to Lacledes Landing. There are some good restaurants and pubs located there.

If you are up for a short walk, check out J. Bucks and/or Mike Shannons.

I%26#39;m sure I%26#39;m missing other great places, but I bet some other posters can fill in some of their favorites.

Have a great time!

Try toasted ravioli at Charlie Gitto%26#39;s at 6th %26amp; Pine. Lucas Park Grille and the Dubliner, both on Washington Ave, are a longer walk or short cab ride. J Bucks is just west of the Westin. Sen Thai at 12th %26amp; Locust is good too.

J Buck%26#39;s is the fan gathering site for the Trenton region which is the UCONN draw section so I%26#39;ve booked there.

The Dubliner menu looks intriguing! I think that might be another option. We won%26#39;t be packing dress clothes so casual is the rule.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I%26#39;ve got to agree with Charlie Gitto%26#39;s. We love their lasagna and the toasted ravioli. I also had Shannon%26#39;s last summer and the steak was GREAT.

Ditto to Charlie Gittos. Excellent portions, good prices, very good food, old fashioned STL ambiance.

At 6th %26amp; Pine, usually closed Sundays unless the Cards are in town.

Calecos Bar %26amp; Restaurant. It%26#39;s right by the baseball studium.

Tin Can Tavern on Locust (www.tincantavern.com)

I would heartily disagree w/ the Caleco%26#39;s recommendation.

From the Westin, if you walk east to the other side of the baseball park, then turn right (south) for just about 2 blocks past the stadium, you will find a group of great local clubs/restaurants anchored by:

And UCONN (Men) are going down tomorrow.

Go Mizzou!
