Business Summary what's this?
For two star French, try Melting Pot in Saint Louis. It's been awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence award. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant is inexpensive. This place features private rooms and fine wines. This place is good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food well yucky to describe.
4.0 of 5 stars.
I really love this place. My family comes here every Christmas Eve and my friends and I come here for birthdays/promotion dinners (luckily we keep moving up!)/girls nights. To be totally honest you...

Very very good food here. The service and atmosphere are very pleasing as well. The biggest downside would be the price for anyone on a budget, as the meals get pricy. PROS: food CONS: price

This is the best place to go if you enjoy fondue. It is definitely a romantic place to eat. The only down side to that is that it can be a bit pricey sometimes. Other than that I think it is great.
