The entire staff was amazing! Had to try the world’s most expensive cured meat, Iberian ham. Nutty, buttery flavor. Worth it! Christina recommended some great food pairings and brought out extra bread. Courtney recommended an exemplary full bodied red wine. They have a wonderful assortment of canned seafood that pairs well with alcohol. Sturgeon was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Complete with a delicious garlic/mushroom sauce. I went as a walk in for a seat at the bar a bit after 4 pm. 10/10 would go again!
We are on a quest to try all of Ben Poremba’s restaurants and this was another win in my book. The canned items were good, I’m not a huge fan of canned seafood but the tuna in olive oil was really yummy. We got the cheese board and that was very good as well—quite pricey at 30 for what you get. The chicken was probably one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had.
WOW! Bar Moro has blown me away. This restaurant has been on my list for a while and I am still smiling from the great experience. Walking in, I loved the aesthetic and vibes of the place. The decor and lighting (while almost too dim to read a menu) really sets the vibe for an intimate setting. As for the food and drink, we had a great time taking recommendations from our amazing server. The two glasses of sherry were so different and delightful. While I can’t remember the names, mine was sweet and almost like a port wine while my partner’s had a nice twang and dry finish. To eat, we had the mohamara - a sauce with bread - and the scallops that come in a tin. Yes you read that correctly, a tin. Seems odd but they were absolutely delicious! We ended the night with a flan and I couldn’t have asked for a better evening :)
everything about the atmosphere is on point from the decor to the music to the lit candles. all of our dishes were full of flavor and plating was done with lots of intention. our server zach paced us well and took good care of us.
Beautiful restaurant. It's very dark and there are candles sprinkled throughout and a crystal net. We sat at the bar which looks into the kitchen. It is a very small space and lots of hustle and bustle around you. There's a complimentary coat check. We split 5 small plates and shrimp as a main between two people and were very full, could've done without one or two small plates. But they were all delicious. They have a nice sherry and vermouth list, great gin cocktails and others. Excellent drinks and beautiful glassware. And excellent service.
I rarely leave Google reviews unless a restaurant is truly exceptional or the experience is disappointing. This place is one of my absolute favorites in St. Louis. I moved to New York a few months ago, but I still find myself missing the food here. I’ve visited multiple times with friends and family, and every time, the atmosphere has been amazing. The food is absolutely outstanding—it has a soul to it, and you can tell how much care and effort the chef puts into every dish. I also had the best cabbage I’ve ever had here! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
The food and atmosphere here are amazing!! Kevin was our server and he was knowledgeable and friendly and made a memorable experience!! My husband took me here for my birthday and I don’t regret it!
The attention to detail, service, and execution are all second to none at Bar Moro. Chef Ben goes above and beyond to dress each plate as if he is making dinner for his own family. We could not have been more blown away with the quality of food and flavor combinations. Bar Moro is a dark horse for my favorite STL restaurant. It offers a unique dining experience that you will not find elsewhere in the area. I recommend trying the tuna belly tinned fish, branzino, and roasted carrot salad. Cannot wait to dine here again and visit Chef Ben! Thank you for making us feel at home.
