The historic dining room of An American Place was restored as part of the $270 million renovation of the St. Louis Renaissance Grand Hotel and opened in 2003. Having a meal at An American Place makes you feel like you’re feasting in the dining room of a mansion. The marble floors and ornate décor lend itself to an intimate evening. An American Place boasts the only “celebrity chef” in St. Louis – Larry Forgione, a champion for local farmers from coast to coast promoting regional specialties. His concept menu includes wild Maine belon oysters warmed with wild leeks over Chardonel vine trimmings and rack of Missouri grass-fed lamb with slow roasted lamb jus and creamed roast parsnips. Even the desserts incorporate the American theme, even if it’s from an island, with the Hawaiian vintage chocolate praline cake. For those looking to visit a downtown hot spot for drinks, the restaurant’s sexy Indigo Lounge is the place.
