Kreis's is a St.Louis treasure. People come from all over the midwest for the prime rib. Favorites like the Vienna beef tenderloin and the veal dishes remain wonderful and consistent. The service is professional and old-world. The waiters are all forty-five years old or more, it seems, and they wear red jackets. The homemade apple strudel served warm with vanilla sauce is a must. Although the wine list is not extensive, the bar makes one of the better martinis I've ever had. Forget about all the chains. Kreis's will keep you cming back.
Pros: Huge portions, great service, consistently good
Cons: can be loud
