Idol Wolf at 21c St. Louis

"Went in for anniversary dinner and everything was great! Server was knowledgeable of food and drinks and gave insight about fan favs etc. Love the penguins! Cute for Date night or celebrations. Price was expected."

"Idol wolf simplified : Good not great. Located in a very cool modern art hotel (21c), Idol wolf has a unique atmosphere. Straight forward Spanish style tapas - prices were what you’d expect for a new restaurant but in terms of flavor and creativity nothing blew us away. Everything was good but nothing really made idol wolf stand out where I’d rush back. Location is very awkward downtown - nothing around it to do / didn’t feel super safe but once inside the hotel it was fine. We ordered a sangria (large and very good - not too sweet) and old fashioned (very straightforward). We waited a long time for drinks and our dishes despite it not being very busy at all. The tomato bread appetizer was delicious (their take on bruchetta) as well as the Spanish potatoes. We also got the fish croquettes (crispy but overall salty and one note), chorizo mushrooms (not very flavorful), and empanadas (good but ultimately just tasted like pie dough). Churros were delicious for dessert. We would have ordered another drink but no one came back to check on us and we had finished our food, so they unfortunately don’t have their timing worked out very well. Overall a good date night and we enjoyed seeing the hotel, but we wouldn’t rush back for the food."

"Wonderful setting. Good, even though not really authentic Spanish, is delicious. Drinks are well made too. Good wine selection. Love the museum- fun date night."

"We visited Idol Wolf last week. The garlic soup was a highlight, and the coconut daiquiri was perfectly balanced. I loved both! The cheese plate wasn't disappointing, either. But the service needed improvement; we had to repeatedly ask for spoons for sharing dishes. The ambiance was too noisy for comfortable conversation. My husband wasn't happy with the sangria, and the seafood paella was flavorful but too heavy. Overall, good food but the experience was less enjoyable due to service and noise issues."
