Canyon Cafe Gets the Gut Check Treatment; Do You Agree?

Check out the RFT's review of the Plaza Frontenac eatery and let us know if you think they were on the mark.

A Frontenac eatery got high marks from the reviewers at the Riverfront Times last week, who called Canyon Cafe "a classy joint" that does southwestern cuisine "minus the tacky sombreros and singing chile peppers." The review in the RFT last week made special note of Canyon Cafe's margaritas, which come with a two-per-customer limit because they're poured so strong. The RFT, in its "Gut Check" column on March 21, said the margaritas are one of the reasons "why you'll go back" and also noted that "we were unable to say no to the complimentary chips and salsa slung our way."

On August 16 Celebrity Waitresses’ and Waiters’ Night at Plaza Frontenac returns for another run. At this event patrons order from the dinner menu and normal prices prevail. All evening, celebrities do their best to encourage patrons to leave “big tips” –because all tips raised directly benefit the St. Louis Crisis Nursery.

Plaza Frontenac For Sale: What Do You Think?

Shoppers weigh in on a Frontenac mainstay that will likely change hands.

Even though information about the upcoming sale of Plaza Frontenac was published in the Wall Street Journal and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, it seems some folks have no idea the mall is for sale. Here’s what Ladue-Frontenac Patch learned on a recent trip to the venerable shopping center when we asked shoppers and employees what they thought about the pending sale: Lynda Anderson, Kirkwood resident "I’ve heard nothing about the sale. I’m pretty shocked and had no clue. I come here a lot; I’m a regular here. I’m here twice a week, sometimes three. I don’t want to lose it especially lululemon where I’ll be teaching yoga this Sunday. I love Canyon Café and I love going to Brio and Flemings." Helen Pollak, hairdresser at Stonewater Spa "Again? I’ve…

I've heard rumors that Sak's is going to be closing this location. Owner probably wants to cut down it's potential losses. For a mall with both Neiman and Saks, it should be performing more in the $700/sq ft range...not $500 like it is.   more ›
