Olio
Olio in Tower Grove serves Israeli small plates in a converted filling station from the 30s, so it’s a cool spot for a date or casual dinner.
This South City spot is both an intimate Persian restaurant and a gin-themed cocktail bar, where you can still order from the full menu. On warm nights, sit on their patio and start off with a cocktail and a few dips, like the walnut-olive feta spread, tart pomegranate eggplant, and hummus. The Gormeh Sabzie, a lamb stew, should be on your table too, just make sure you save room for their freshly baked baklava.
