Perennial On Lockwood - Webster Groves

We had reservations for 6pm on my birthday which were not fulfilled— we were very disappointed and while we patiently waited, the manager was good enough to apologize and offered us our first drinks and appetizers for free for waiting for a table. I think he did the right thing and turned what would have been a negative experience into a positive experience for our first visit to Perennials. And we will be back, because of his actions.

2 1/2 hours for a hamburger is way too long. We had a reservation for 4 at a regular table, the first couple arrived and was sat at the High Bar table, we were moved to the outdoors, even though that's not what I requested in my reservation. The waiter finally showed up 15 minutes later , we ordered drinks and appetizers. The drinks came except for my wife's Diet Coke. The apps came but no Diet Coke. After going to the hostess desk and asking for our waiter, maybe 20 mins after the apps arrived her showed up, my wife ask for her Diet Coke. He came back in 5-10 mins with a plastic to go glass and said he had to go to Olive and Oak to get it because you had run out. He did not ask if anyone wanted another drink or refill the water glasses. He just walked away. Again we had to hunt him down via the hostess desk so we could order food. Again after the meals, overpriced sandwiches, were delivered, no sign of him, no checking if everything was alright, no ask if we wanted anything else or dessert or more drinks, nothing. Had to wave him down for our bills which took another 15 mins to create. Just poor service.

Really great food, but this place is quite busy every night. Service was a bit on the slow side as everything came out just minutes after the appetizers. It was pretty noisy, but still a great atmosphere and, again, great food!

Hostess, bartender and wait staff were all friendly and helpful. The food was great and it was the perfect environment for dinner with friends. Casual, comfortable meal with good, interesting drinks and enough energy to feel like a night out. Highly recommend!

Service was slow and food was very average. I had the sweet potato curry and there were maybe 3 small sweet potato pieces in it. Server rarely checked on us and drinks took over 15 minutes every time we ordered one.
