Literally the best salmon I've had thus far. I went hoping they would have steak, but it wasn't on the menu that night. The salmon was an amazing second option. And that bread pudding, omg. That's all I gotta say!

If you want Fish and chips this is the place to go in at louis! This is one of the coziest restaurants with a lovely old style vibe to it, I love to go there for dinner a bit before the sun is down, the contrast between the bright sunlight coming from the large windows and the dim light on the dark back of the restaurant makes me feel I’m sitting in one of Toulouse Lautrec paintings! The food is usually really good whatever you get, make sure to try their sides, you won’t regret it!

This place has amazing food, drinks and service! We ordered New York Strip steak (which was a little bit over cooked but it was still so yummy!) My favorite was their banoffee banana pudding. 🤤🤤 it was a little crispy on the outside and moist inside.. We also ordered scotch eggs and I wish there were more per serving! I am planning to come back soon! ❣️

Dropped in for Sunday brunch. It was easy to put in an online reservation. The coffee and mimosas were great. I got the French toast which was good, and the rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well. The food came out quickly and the servers were friendly. Would definitely come back.

Came here on the night of 8/3 with a friend and ordered food right before the kitchen closed. Right before they closed (and we were still there eating), a homeless woman came inside the establishment, curled up at a table and started crying uncontrollably - would like to point out the homeless woman was completely non-threatening and harmless. All of the employees working including our waitress ran into the back kitchen because they were “startled” by this lady. My friend and I wanted to leave and close out and no employee including our waitress was to be found, because they were all hiding in the back from this “scary” homeless woman. We kept shouting “hello” so an employee can come out and ring us out. Finally I had to go knock hard on the kitchen door to get our waitress or another employee so we can pay and leave! Our waitress comes out to ring us out - I only ordered the Arancini ($11) and water - she rings me out incorrectly for $21 because she was going so quick - she then runs away from us quickly again to go hide in the kitchen again from this totally harmless homeless woman. I couldn’t get her to correct my $10 overcharged bill because she abandoned her customers again. I couldn’t justify leaving any tip for her which I normally never do. The employees were acting totally over-dramatic in my opinion. I worked at hotels throughout my life, had to be an MOD overnight several of times and had to deal with the most chaotic people from the public (including homeless people who wander in, aggressively drunken people, etc.) that you can think of, and I’m a 5’2” woman! The fact that your employees were treating this non-threatening homeless woman like she was going to kill them, and completely abandon their customers was a total joke. Maybe think twice before you take on a job that deals with the public, especially in the city, if you don’t have the skin to deal with it?

I have been to a great many restaurants in the St. Louis area and I can safely say that The Scottish Arms is one of the very best you can find. Each and every time that I visit I come away more impressed than the last. I The atmosphere is always relaxed, the staff are always delightful, but by far the best feature is the food. Their food stands heads and shoulders above the majority of restaurants in the area. Both in flavor and presentation, their food exceeds what ever you're like to imagine the first time you visit. 5/5 Drinks 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Atmosphere The only possible flaw I can imagine is that I always want more of their food, and I can't have it every meal.

Such great food!! Exquisite cuisine served in a cozy atmosphere. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Both authentic Scottish dishes and tasty culinary creations. Nice patio too. Slightly pricey, but worth every penny. I'll be back

Beautiful outdoor space, terrific cocktails, amazing food and friendly staff! We had the Lamb Pasties which come with a better than traditional brown sauce, the Duck and Pear salad with a delicious vinaigrette dressing and the best beer battered (brown ale) fish and chips I have ever had. Joe, our waiter, was super friendly and made great recommendations. We highly recommend stopping in for a drink and great food.

Love this place. Always good service, great hearty food, ambiance & experience. Been here a couple times since we found it. Rum Toddy will cure what ails ya! Like it so much we got an apartment nearby! Still as good as it gets! If you're near the Central West End or Forrest Park, or downtown STL, you'll have to stop by this establishment for new * custom drinks every month & * new food menus every month, yet, we still get the Scotch egg (take one or 2 home for tomorrow, you'll love it!!) Still 5 stars. Oh, yeah, the service is impeccable!! Best in STL!!

The food is amazing. The place is kind of a walk into the past... in Europe. We love both brunch and dinner here. My wife and I just revisited tonight as a treat, and both our food and drink as well as the service was top notch.

We went there for St Patrick's day. I got the Sheppard's pie and it was super yummy! It was a cozy candle lit atmosphere and just an all around good time. Will be back !

Great service by Gabe. Chicken dinner with gnocchi was fantastic. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. The gnocchi was wonderfully prepared. The sampler platter was great. Yummy cocktails too. Beautiful night to sit outside on the back porch. Will return for sure.

This was the perfect spot for a cozy date night! The drinks were delicious and the highland gathering was the perfect sampling to get a feel for what the restaurant had to offer. The fish and chips (upgrade to the truffle fries - trust me) was amazing and the shepherds pie was exactly the comfort food I was looking for. I can't wait to go back and try the patio!

A respectable 4-star experience at Scottish Arms in St. Louis during happy hour. The drink specials were appealing and the atmosphere was enjoyable. However, there was a slight room for improvement in terms of service speed. Overall, a good spot for a relaxed evening with friends.

Nice patio, the food is also pretty good. The dining room and bathroom is really dim, so a little difficult for folx with visual impairments, but overall good. I would come back.

Such a nice spot with comforting date night vibes. The service was incredible. The presenration for a glass of whiskey is above and beyond. Going as far as to refill an empty cup on the side with fresh ice for each drink i ordered along with a tincture of purified water to drop in the whiskey. Amazing. The food was top notch as well.

Enjoyed a great meal in their back courtyard. The drinks were tasty and strong, the shepherd's pie a good combination of meats and veg and the salmon and crab crumble perfectly prepared. We ended the meal with banoffee bread pudding which was a delicious combination of banana, toffee, chocolate and caramel. The server was friendly and engaging and we'll definitely make this restaurant a regular when coming to the Gaslight Theater.

We had out of town guests that love Scotch so thought this would be a good place to take them. One of our guests could not sit on the tall chairs in the bar so we sat on the patio. The patio is nice, but we wanted the bar ambiance since we hyped it up to our friends. We ordered a variety of Scotches and they were out of stock. Lucky they have an extensive list so all turned out well there. We moved into the dining room for dinner and it was good as was the service.

Amazing. Loved the atmosphere and the food. The waiter was present when needed and otherwise scarce. The drinks, wow, honestly the best old fashioned I have ever had. Smooth does not do it justice. The scotch egg was good, not over powering with fennel. My husband loved the Shepard's pie, his mother is British so it is his comfort food. I had the salmon, very good. We will be back.

Hands down, my new favorite restaurant in St. Louis! Ordered a 90 shilling beer with my bangers and mash and could not have enjoyed my meal more. The wife had the fish and chips with some onion soup and said it was the best she'd had in a very long time. Highly recommended, if the weather is nice, the garden patio out back has a fantastic ambiance.

I’ve always really enjoyed this place — unique food, intimate atmosphere, great drinks. The Duck Breast Wellington is so good that I think about it multiple times a week. Lately though, we’ve left the Scottish Arms hungry on several occasions due to the portion sizes. I understand it’s very difficult to be a restaurant right now, and I want to support my favorites. But when the bill is over $150 (for two with drinks) and we’re leaving hungry after appetizers and entrees, it’s tough to do that. Of course, I still highly recommend this restaurant. I just plan on snacking afterwards!

First visit there and we loved it. Great atmosphere. Service was great and so was our food. Our server was helpful with drink recommendations and the tangerine draft beer hit the spot. Can recommend the Highlander appetizer, lamb, and tenderloin wellington.

I felt like I was in Scottland.The food was excellent and the staff was so friendly! The smoked duck wellington was very tasty! Definitely a 5 star experience.

Excellence scotch menu (Started with Glenfiddich 18) and excellent food. I had the Peat-Smoked Chicken for dinner and it was incredible! Highly recommend this restaurant!

The environment is calming and the ambiance is comfortable. The only problem I have is if you are sat at a booth the booth is flat and not really comfortable. They have added small pillows to sit on, this helps a lot. The food is good and beer and drinks above par. Check this place out.

We went here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago and it was great! I recommend getting the sample appetizer. Although, the scotch egg was the most delicious part of the sampler and if I went back I'd be happy just getting that as my appetizer. The food was plated beautifully and our server/service was delightful. The reason for my 4 star, instead of 5, was that my dad ordered the fish and chips and said it was great aside from it needing a pinch of salt. He said it was a bit bland. The same goes for the Shepherd's pie my boyfriend ordered. Despite this I would go again!

My husband and I had dinner here. We had several delicious cocktails, appetizers, and dinner. Everything was delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and it has a slightly upscale quaint English pub feel to it. We love the scotch eggs and pasties appetizers. We had the bangers and mash and Shepard pue for dinner and would orde both again. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. Can't wait to go back. If you get a chance I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Usually when we have dinner plans that get derailed we are too hungry and tired to make a good decision and end up eating something or somewhere less than stellar. But tonight we planned to eat at the Commonwealth since our last visit to St Louis involved dining at the Grand Tavern (which was the amazing restaurant previously in the space now occupied by the Commonwealth)and for whatever reason they were closed even though their website and Google says they are open. So when we searched for a replacement restaurant we were expecting disappointment based on our track record. However, this place was a perfectly unassuming, welcoming, truly delicious delight. Their cocktail menu was inventive while classic, their food menu was modern yet authentic (my husband's grandmother hails directly from Scotland complete with a family haggis recipe), and the server was the kind of subtely attentive where you hardly notice they are there yet always have exactly what you need. So forget the Commonwealth!...., we'll be eating here again tomorrow since there's more on the menu we'd like to try. (For the record we had the gathering appetizer sampler, both salads, fish and chips, and the lamb shank with both old fashioneds and 2 of the gin cocktails. *Just an update, we did in fact eat here again the next night. Enjoyed the duck wellington, the hen stuffed with haggis and the berry tart along with the draft cocktail which was a standout and the spiked spiced cider. Again excellent food and service!
