Editorial Review for The Delmar Restaurant & Lounge – by Melissa Martin
The Scene
A swank, smoky supper club with a black-and-maroon motif, the Delmar is one of the nicest joints in town. Seating can be a problem--even if you secure a table early, half your party will have its backs to the stage. But it's worth a little pain in the neck because the Delmar books some of St. Louis' most capable players. If you're a jazz fan hunting for the real stuff--music that's inspired, not paint-by-numbers rehash--this is the place.
The Food
The core dishes are the same year-round, but Chef Jimmy Russell gets creative with seasonal soups and daily specials. His white-bean and andouille-sausage soup is a lusty stew of cannellini beans, spicy smoked pork sausage, diced celery, shredded carrots, onions and garlic. Or try Russell's overstuffed pillows of portobello ravioli blanketed with peppery pesto cream sauce.

This place is one of the best in the Loop and st.louis in general. It has a great atmosphere. I was worried at first because i had heard a few reviews say that the service behind the bar was not very good but I found it to be excellent. The staff moved quick and seemed always eager to serve. The highlight of the place for me though was the music. I keep reading that Jazz was played in the early part of the evening which is excellent but in the night, after 11 or so, 2 DJ's spinned until the place closed. They played some great music, not techno but just a great mix, everything from great rock classics to some smooth beats by "A tribe called quest". Overall this is a great place and I look forward to a return.
Pros: Great crowd, Great bartenders, awesome atmosphere
Cons: little pricey

The $20 meal before 6 (or 7...I don't remember) is a great value. You get an entree & your choice of soup or salad and dessert. All four entrees we tried were excellent.
