Citizen Kane's Steak House

"Excellent dinner. Excellent service. Rick was a very good server. Couldn't ask for a more tender steak, perfectly cooked. Loved the house dressing and the mushrooms. Amazing warm chocolate cake to end a great meal."

"I would say this is easily the best steak for your money in St. Louis! It’s a wonderful blend of causal and classy highlighted by expertly cooked prime cuts of beef. Having been to steakhouses across the US in many major cities, Citizen Kane’s takes the current top spot in my book. I ordered the Delmonico Ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was perfect. Every bite was tender, rich and melted in your mouth. You absolutely get your money’s worth here, and if you’re getting a steak make sure to pair it with a nice bottle of wine. The seating is close and cozy, but not too close that you can’t hear your table’s conversations. The bathrooms are at the top of the house, so be warned if you’re not a fan of stairs. They have a coat rack up front and I highly suggest making use of it in the winter months because the restaurant stays warm. Parking is pretty easy but if it’s your first time, make sure to turn in the small driveway and park behind the house. They have a small bar on the first floor, but your best bet is to make reservations two weeks in advanced to ensure you get a table."

"It’s been a few years since I last ate here. We sat upstairs in the main dining room. I ordered the soup of the day which was a bean less chili. If you don’t like pepper then don’t order this. It reminded me more of a vegetable soup. I ordered the fillet cooked medium with the vegetable of the day which was steamed broccoli with a dusting of parmesean cheese. The steak was cooked nicely but it was lacking flavor. The broccoli was cooked perfectly for me which was just enough so it was not crunchy. The choices for dessert were different flavors of cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate cake and a kahlua and coffee flan. I tried the flan. The kahlua and coffee flavors were overpowering I couldn’t enjoy the flan. They have parking behind their building and across the street. For the prices they are charging I expect to sit in a comfortable chair. The seat cushion was worn out and the steel back was contributing to my TB (tired butt). I like the vibe of the converted house. It has a lot of character. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive and delivered great service."

"What a great place, with a great meatball sub! You can tell these are quality ingredients, with the perfect amount of everything. (The sandwich pictured is only half of what you get because I'm dumb and split it with someone). The staff is super nice and even though it's small (only two tables for dine-in) it's a really neat atmosphere. I definitely recommend it!! ...and it's not expensive!"

"We met a friend here and had a party of 5 altogether. We started at the bar with a couple of drinks that were top notch! Hubby had a rum and coke and I had a white russian. From there we were seated upstairs in table by the window. The seating was spacious and pleasant. As a group we ordered 2 appetizers for 2 and split them. Everyone raved about the mushrooms being to die for (I don't care for mushrooms and didn't try them). I enjoyed the toasted ravioli and the onion ring. I ordered the ribeye with a baked potato and salad with mayfair dressing. I liked that the salad had cucumbers and black olives - yum! Then the steak came out. This is a big steak - 18oz. The sear was perfect, there were lil crispy edges and perfect marbling. Now I'm an A1 sauce girl, yes even at an upscale restaurant. But I tore into that steak and the next thing I knew it was almost gone! It was AMAZING! One of the best steaks I've ever eaten! The baked potato is nothing to rave about. It's cooked very plainly, no salt or anything on the outside... it's cut and all the toppings are on the side. Which meant they didn't melt into it very easily. I won't order that set up again... I'd really prefer a sweet potato but that is not an option here. Hubby got the pork chop which is massive! He said it was cooked perfect. I tasted it and it was very tender. However neither of us loved the sauce that came with it... My MIL ordered the salmon and I tried it and it was delicious. The sauce was the perfect compliment to the salmon. We ended the night with a chocolate chip cheesecake to share and I added a chocolate martini. The cheesecake was creamy and delicious and something different than you normally see. The martini was perfection as a dessert! Service was top notch all night long. 2 people at our table shared a steak and they cut it and plated it separately which is a nice touch. Drinks stayed filled, leftovers were boxed and we felt spoiled all around."
