A bright, attractive café that specializes in Lebanese and other Middle Eastern fare. The meat shawarma - beef and lamb slowly roasted on a vertical spit - might be the best in town, as tender as braised beef, its rich, pot roast-like flavor kept lively on the palate by lamb's gaminess. Other dishes include kebabs (beef, lamb, chicken, shrimp) and gargantuan lamb chops served with delicious, tart fattoush sauce. Many vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the falafel and hummus far exceed the status of reliable classics.

Even on the enclosed patio in front of the restaurant, you feel transported -- if not to another land altogether (you can't quite ignore the sound of St. Louis traffic), than at least to a mental space where for an hour or so nothing matters but the delicious Lebanese food being served to you. Even a simple appetizer of hummus or lebneh sets the Vine apart: Either dip is delicious, and with it comes freshly baked pita bread... More »
Middle-Eastern restaurants, like their brethren in most other cuisines, tend to become known for one dish. You go here for the falafel, there for the chicken shawarma and another place altogether for the meat shawarma. When a restaurant opens that is able to nail not just one or two but a variety of traditional favorites, it's a cause for celebration (and, yes, a welcome convenience).
