Specialties of Cardwell's in Clayton, helmed by talented chef Joe Hovland, include sauteed jumbo lump-crab cakes, pecan wood-smoked shrimp, and grilled hanger steak.
From the restaurant's website:"Opened in 1987, Cardwell's in Clayton was the first to excite the local restaurant scene. Its creative cuisine prepared by nationally recognized chefs continues to make it a St. Louis classic."
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner Mon-Sat. Closed Sun.
"The noisy bar open to the street and equally loud, tile-floored front room draw the see-and-be-seen folks; the slightly plusher inside dining room is most popular with business and advertising types and lawyers, looking for something to accompany a business deal, like a strong wine list. Despite the rah-rah, the kitchen puts out meals that show someone is thinking - a lot - about food. "- Gayot
