Best Wine Bars in Ballwin

Colleen was great! She was ready to serve us during the wine tasting. She was funny and very knowledgeable of all the wines and listened to our taste preferences. She had our wine ready when we finished eating and thanked us for coming. The food was delicious too. We had the ahi sushi. It was fabulous! The salmon was great too!

The beet salad in Barada was phenomenal, great calamari in the filet mignon entrée was amazing! We didn’t care for the crème brûlée dessert custard tasted like orange Lacore or vodka

The food was absolutely AMAZING! I started with grilled oysters that was so good I almost ate the shell! For dinner I got the Pollo Marsala with Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes...all very tasty! The check was literally falling off the bone! I also tried their espresso martini flight which is probably the best deal you can get! The amount of drink in the cocktail for flights was extremely satisfying. I loved that they all were unique but still very much an espresso martini. Unfortunately the dessert menu was underwhelming so I opted out. But that didn't even factor into my overall experience! I will be back!!!

Christmas Eve

The food was delicious! We split the whiskey shrimp appetizer, a Caesar salad, supreme pizza and lasagne. All the ingredients were fresh and yummy! The portions are generous, so we had plenty leftover to take home which we loved! The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas! All the lights gave the restaurant a romantic feel. Every staff member that we came in contact with was friendly, helpful, courteous and fun! Mike B was our main server. He was awesome! We had an all around great experience! We will definitely go back to GIO.
