So, I realized I have not shared many of the details of our wedding lately and wanted to bring some of you up to speed. I also realize there are a million other things I still need to blog about, so bare with me.
Since the moment the Pilot and I got engaged, we have been racking our brains to find the perfect rehearsal dinner venue. Now, to most couples, this is probably the least of our worries, but we really wanted to find a spot that is unique and/or different, somewhere fun. There are a lot of places in town where many people have their rehearsal dinners, but we wanted to find something else.
Choice #1:
The first and obvious choice for us was Sage.
This particular restaurant is a big favorite of mine and the Pilot’s. And, a big plus? They have a large private space on their second level, which is devoted entirely to private events. We loved the idea that we would sort of have our own little party area. Sage was opened a few years ago in the historic Soulard neighborhood in downtown Saint Louis. It look over the same location where Lynch Street Bistro was housed. The restaurant is literally a 5 minute walk from the front doors of the Anheuser-Busch Tour Center (and, you can trust me – I used to be a tour guide there).
And, on to the food. Oh, man is the food good. It’s pretty American, but they really try to keep it seasonal and local (big bonus). Not to mention, the Pilot loves their chili and tuna, and I’m quite fond of their pulled pork sandwich and Amber Bock onion rings. Now, if I only had pictures to share, because, they would so make you hungry. The lunch and dinner menu, although not huge, is filled with deliciousness. As for dessert – they offer little dessert shots. My favorite? Pumpkin gooey butter cake (and for you non-Saint Louisans – here is a little background on Gooey Butter Cake, only one of the best desserts ever).
