Millenium Top of the Riverfront

The Top of the Riverfront at the Millennium Hotel is St. Louis institution. The restaurant is twenty-eight stories above the city and includes views of the new stadium as well as the Arch and barges traveling the river. Generally, the restaurant takes about 90 minutes to make the 360 degrees circle but on a recent visit, we found it rotating quite a bit faster, completing a full turn in a little over an hour.
The last two visits, I have ordered the North Atlantic Pecan salmon pineapple which comes with a pineapple risotto and is topped with a pineapple beurre blanc. On a recent visit, I started off with the soup of the day, lobster bisque which was wonderfully flavorful, rich, and creamy. Another time, I had the iceberg salad wedge which was also a nice touch. The restaurant can be pricey; they were offering a lobster special for $75 on a recent visit and the steak and lobster special was $99. But there are reasonably priced entrees and a decent wine list that can be affordable as well. The food is very good and when you factor in the view, it is St. Louis destination that you do not want to miss.
