Biased but I'd love to see some sort of food/bev open up in the little commercial strip in Clifton Heights.
Of course, all of my neighbors would cry about parking no doubt.

I feel like Garcia owns every piece of property in Kingshighway Hills except for my house. I'm grateful, but where are the other developers?

Rated Test Kitchen downtown to close May 31.
Possibly one of the dumbest business models out there, I almost think this will be good for downtown when a restaurant that's open more than 3 days a week to reservations only fills the space.

I know a business open 3 days/week for reservations only does not do much for the economy. Could care less about fine dining lol.TheWayoftheArch_V2.0 wrote: ↑Mar 05, 2025Bad take, you obviously Know Nothing John Snow about fine dining and foodie-ism.Auggie wrote: ↑Mar 04, 2025https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... close.html

They say they had 20k customers in their 3 years of operation, that comes out to about 43/day.

So your argument is that downtown can’t support a high end pre-fixe restaurant? Because most of them are Thurs-Sunday at best.
My argument is that the restaurant that announced it's closure is not the type of restaurant downtown needs right now. We need businesses that have more than 43 patrons per day of operation.TheWayoftheArch_V2.0 wrote: ↑Mar 05, 2025So your argument is that downtown can’t support a high end pre-fixe restaurant?

Announcing your closure 3 months ahead of time is what classy places do, when moving elsewhere, while not completely screwing their staff over. Going out with a flare - a ten course dinner - is exactly what they should do. Big hype. What they neither need is your business nor your understanding. What downtown DOES need is destination restaurants and their chefs to have flair.
You constantly prove yourself ignorant of all things. Though, admittedly, I do admire your persistence. Or is it pestilence?
Now, for everyone’s sake: please stop

Defending a restaurant that boasts 43 patrons per day is a new low for you.

No, attacking an innovator of the food world, while DISMISSING the >10k of taxable revenue per day is the business generated is your own indictment.
Not all of us were made to graduate from diapers, little one. Pound sand, useless.

Entire point is that an ultra exclusive rich-person restaurant is not a major loss for downtown.
Fast-food restaurants also are great taxable sales generators. But we want more than just taxable sales, right? Or don't we?

Losing Rated is a huge loss for STL, not just Downtown. Not just because of the restaurant itself but because we are losing one of the best chefs in the region and he's just 23. This is closing because he announced earlier this year that he is moving elsewhere to expand his career. Rated is a destination restuarant, we need 50 more of those downtown.

Yea, I think this is a huge negative. The chef was a great guy and has vision. I think he could definitely build a following with time. Hate that he’s not staying in the region. That’s a huge loss
I hope he moves to NY or LA. Then I can swallow it. But if he moves somewhere close or a similar size city, I will be really disappointed we aren’t finding ways to support more than casual dining downtown
