Dinner
These restaurants are located across St. Louis and many would require car or rideshare transportation. Most of these restaurants are casual, but a few may take reservations so we recommend checking their site. You should also double check the restaurant’s hours, as some close on certain days.
These are in various neighborhoods and some are closer than others are to Moonrise Hotel. Most of the restaurants on the Lunch page are also open for dinner if you want somewhere within walking distance.
