We ordered the shrimp, burger, and squid Ink pasta. All were delicious, especially the pasta! Our service was great with a waiter that helped us find some of the spots to visit in St Louis. Make sure to check out the art exhibit upstairs too before you leave. Highly recommend!

10/10 dinner experience this evening! My friend and I both had the Lofts of Beetopia cocktail which was well crafted. We then decided to split 2 tapas and 2 from the sea options. From the tapas, the Patatas Brava and the Chorizo Roasted Hen of the Woods were both excellent and highly recommended by our server, Lucy. We then split the Squid Ink Pasta & the Gambas Al Ajillo which were perfectly portioned for all we were splitting. We finished dinner surprised by complimentary cotton candy! Again our waitress Lucy was exceptional in helping with recommendations & checking in to make sure everything was great. Very aesthetically pleasing spot, would definitely come back!

This place has been on my list to try for quite some time. I got to go with a fellow foodie so I know we were going to have an amazing evening. I came early and sat at the bar. I ordered a very delicious cocktail and some patatas bravas to start out with. The potatoes were seasoned to perfection and the flavor was unmatched. My friend arrived and we got seated quickly. This place was packed for a Tuesday. I highly recommend getting reservations. We ordered the famous Chorizo Roasted Hen of the Woods, the Croquettas and the Gambas Al Ajillo. Everything was absolutely amazing. The food was unreal and the flavors were out of this world. The chef and staff here know what they're doing. We needed the night with two desserts because we were wanting more flavors and they didn't disappoint at all. Amazing restaurant!

We celebrated our anniversary with a fantastic dinner at The Idol Wolf, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is located on the first floor of a chic, modern hotel, beautifully decorated with a few unique penguin and wolf sculptures that add character to the space. The service was excellent--our waiter was attentive, detail-oriented, and made sure we had a great experience. The food was delicious. Our standout dishes were the pan con tomate, meatballs, and squid ink pasta. Every bite was packed with flavor! The ambiance was private and romantic, perfect for a special occasion. I also appreciated their flavorful non-alcoholic drinks--so refreshing and well-crafted. For dessert, I highly recommend the churros with chocolate dips; they were the perfect sweet ending. To top it off, we were surprised with complimentary cotton candy, which was such a thoughtful and fun touch. If I could, I'd give this place 4.5 stars. We had an amazing evening and can't wait to come back again!

This place is absolutely gorgeous. It feels like you're in a different city with the decor. The drinks are absolutely amazing especially the sangria. We ordered the whole menu and loved everything especially the tomato toast. Churros were out of this world and tasted like the ones I've had in Spain! The server was amazing and gave us tips on how to order because it is all tapas style. Would absolutely come back.

Visited Idol Wolf as part of our birthday festivities and it was top tier. Located inside the 21C Museum the space is beautiful and would recommend walking through your and specially the upper floor to view the art work. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed. The service was wonderful. Since we're celebrating a birthday they served us two glasses of champagne. We also ordered the Negroni and the Chorizo Margarita both were incredible. For food we went the Tapas route. We ordered the Spanish Caesar Salad, Octopus and Potatoes, Patatas Bravas, Jamon Croquettas, Albondigas, Gambas Al Ajillo. Every dish was flavorful and a good portion. We ended that night with their Tarta de Santiago which was such a delicate and delicious end to our meal. This brought me back to my time in Spain and I can wait to be eat here again.

The menu here is so delicious and unlike dishes we've had before. Half of the menu is tapas (smaller dishes) which are meant to be shared so you can try a bit of everything. Drinks - blackberry & sage + oh, behave - both were great! Octopus & potato - 10/10. Super tender octopus. Paired with the crispy potatoes was chef's kiss. Also came with a bit of a sweet sauce that combined so well together. Corn & sobrasada toast - also 10/10. This was my favorite dish mainly because I love goat cheese and that's what the spread tasted like. Generous amount of sauce on top and toast was crispy in all the right spots. Seafood paella - 9/10, although still super delicious. It has a strong, but fresh, seafood taste! This was the main dish and super necessary in my opinion. This was what I wanted to try this restaurant for and it did not dissapoint. Dessert - we tried the churros and chocolate sauce. While it was delicious, it didn't blow me out of the water. We also got complimentary cotton candy at the end which was unexpected but a cute surprise. I liked the juxtaposition of cotton candy in a fancy restaurant. Everything was just the right amount of flavor and seasoning. They did an amazing job at elevating dishes without making them too over the top. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fancier night out, whether that be a romantic date or to celebrate a loved one!

Tried this place last weekend with a friend. Love these kinds of restaurants because you can try so many things. We both ordered the red sangria and split the octopus and potatoes, the tuna toast, pan de tomate and jamon croquettas. Server was very friendly and assisted us with our food choices. Food came out pretty quick. They also give you cotton candy when you get your check! This restaurant is pretty cool looking. It is located at the 21c museum hotel and has some very unique art all around it. Def will go back to try more food!
