Casa Don Alfonso 100 Carondelet Plaza, Clayton, MO 63105

"Service was impeccable. Atmosphere is beautiful and spacious. Wine selection is comparable in price to many other restaurants. Breads and olive oil are a great start. Citrus and lobster salad was excellent. House tagliatelle sauce was very tasty but shrimp was overcooked. Given the number of chefs in the open kitchen, overcooking shrimp is a surprising error for the dish. Overall the flavor of the sauce and perfect cooking of the pasta made up for the shrimp oversight."

"Went to Alfonso's to surprise my Partner with the Holiday Cocktail Tree and she loved it. The presentation was perfect. Quality ingredients, as expected, made for delicious cocktails ranging from sweet to bitter. We loved all four flavors but The Grinch, we ordered additional cocktails it was so good. We also ordered the Farmers Board, meat, cheese, roasted vegetables was very satisfying. Of course excellent service"

"Casa don alfonso This place. Wow. We made reservations on the OpenTable app for a party of 5 at 7:45pm for dinner. We parked in the ritz Carlton parking garage. You can get to the restaurant by walking through the hotel from the parking garage. One member of our party was not able to make it, but we just let them know at the front desk and it was no problem at all. After showing us to our table, each person receives a small platter and they pour olive oil on it - it looks like sunny side up egg! Then they give you this little bag of bread as well. We went on December 8 and they were offering their holiday cocktail tree. It comes with 8 drinks - there are 2 of each of their 4 holiday cocktails. Every drink was so good. The tree was 150. We asked if we could substitute different drinks onto the tree and the answer was no. It’s okay because the tree was adorable and the drinks turned out to be awesome. Then the entrees were fabulous. I got the Chicken Supreme. I have eaten a ton of chicken dishes in my life and I can say this was the best prepared chicken I have ever had. Juicy, tender…it was amazing. My boyfriend had the Polpette Napoletane (basically fancy meat balls) and they were delicious as well. Usually meatballs are a little crispy on the outside, but these were not. I also had an espresso martini. Exciting insider tip: they can put any image you want on the top of the martini or tiramisu!!!! Just tell the waiter and he will give you a number to text your image to!!!!! I got a picture of my dogs!!!! Also the tiramisu was really good. In the pictures we saw this border around the top of the dish and we thought it was like a paper rim that said casa don Alfonso on it…..it’s chocolate. I can’t wait to go back and get brunch or try their pizza :))))"

"Food, Service and Atmosphere all amazing! The place is beautifully decorated, the tables are spread out and you do not feel crowded which also makes it easy to hear people at your table. The kitchen is open and you can se everything. If you are interested they even have a few seats at a counter overlooking the kitchen. They have spared no expense on the decor, plateware or making the kitchen beautiful and what I think would be a dream to cook in. I wish they would offer cooking classes during the day a few times a year as that would be so cool. Great cocktail and wine list which we enjoyed and we had a variety of dishes including the special Lobster Gnocchi which had an amazing taste and texture only wish the chunks of lobster were just a little bigger. The pea soup was wonderful as was the pizza."
