Vicia - Saint Louis

The wine selection is quite interesting, which adds to the experience. As for the food, perhaps we didn't visit during their best week, but it's hard to believe every week would be so different. The chef seems to have an overwhelming fondness for balsamic reduction, as it was a prominent feature in many dishes. We encountered it in three out of five appetizers (including the octopus, squash, and mushroom tacos), as well as in the main courses of carrots, chicken, and salad. Even dessert had it! Initially, we opted for the pescatarian menu, but I was persuaded to explore the unrestricted menu instead. Unfortunately, it felt lacking—like the disappointing leftovers of a Thanksgiving feast. The standout dishes for me were the Winslow bread, radishes with pesto, pears wrapped in prosciutto, and the rice served with the main course. Overall, there were some highlights, but the overall experience left me wanting more.

I've dined myself the week of my birthday. I had a fantastic time. I really loved the decor. It's upscale inviting...warm and classic. Kyle, the host with most, was brilliant, pleasant, conversation and even sent me a copy of my menu according to my experience. It meant a lot to me that he was communicating with me during my reservation process, during the first greeting, until the meal, during the meal and near. I had fantastic service throughout my entire experience. I sat at the bar. Danielle worked at the bar and made my experience very valuable. The wine-sommee that went between its restaurants was also there at night and it added a lot to the meal. She talked about pairings and the wine herself and I really enjoyed it. There are many things. I tried to capture how it was placed in front of me and then I pulled things together into the same frame. I enjoyed everything in the app round. The pig was the only thing I didn't love in the second round... I wish I had more room in my body to finish the corn. It was delicious. Everything was delicious. The elegance and decor were phenomenal. I recommend this experience

Look at it for a real feast. While the execution of some of the dishes was not completely perfected, above the board we had a solid, productive meal. Some dishes needed more acidity, some pepper and a few salt, but the creativity and freshness covered the small steps. Especially the pesto and dessert were the stars. I was afraid the tasting menu would not fill enough, but I was wrong! I had leftovers. The dessert wine is the best value and there are free parking on the street for dinner.

I had one of the most unforgettable culinary experiences of my life in Vicia. My husband treated me for dinner in Vicia for my birthday, and we both pampered with the Farmer's Feast menu. I really enjoyed watching the staff in the kitchen, it is obvious that perfection in taste, quality and presentation are in the foreground of the restaurant. We enjoyed every dish that was presented to us. What a special experience! We recommend adding to your meal on an updated wine package, it is worth it.

Absolutely lovely. Had a farm to table chefs menu experience with an elevated wine pairing. It felt so special, and there was so much attention to detail. The food was so delicious, every bite had something new to offer, and and was so full of flavor. If you're celebrating a special occasion it's entirely worth saving up and coming here. If I could give it 10 start, I would.
