A Saint Louis staple, The Fountain on Locust offers a 1950’s upclass diner style experience with modern twists on classic family recipes. Union Station and The Fabulous Fox are nearby, so crafting the perfect date-night combination is simple, even for chronic non-planners. Anyone who has been to The Fountain will tell you to save room for dessert, although seeing the entree menu might make that difficult. Entrees including penne pastas, paninis, sandwiches, and inventive salads range from $10-$15. The renowned dessert menu incorporates 12 different flavors — from espresso bean to orange sherbet — to craft signature, unforgettable dishes. The standing banana split is a crowd favorite, pairing bruleed bananas with indulgent chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, topped with strawberries and oozing hot fudge in a tall glass.
For a classic, romantic dinner in downtown Saint Louis head to Eleven Eleven Mississippi. The loft provides a more quiet space away from the bar for an intimate experience. Tuscan inspired dishes such as the wild boar ravioli are savory and unforgettable. Food prices range from $10-$30.
Looking to support a small business with a nostalgic ambiance and unbeatable appetizer prices this Valentine’s Day? Skip the dinner reservation and head to Pin-Up Bowl on Delmar Boulevard. A perfect pick for active couples, the bowling alley stands out from others by providing a more intimate experience with only 8 lanes. Pin-Up’s unpretentious menu includes spinach artichoke dip, king size pretzels, BBQ pork sandwiches, and many more delicious options all for under $7. For a double date or “galentines” outing, the 14 inch pizza is only $9.95. Shoe rental is $4, each game played adds $5.
