You should try The Old Spaghetti Factory, we were there in May and it was great.

This is the Hill area of St. Louis. It's Italian and most of them have good family atmosphere's. I would personally recomment Cunettos. It's been several years since I've been there but the food is fantastic. They used to take reservations. Check out their website (or any of the other restaurants).

Good luck on your search!

I recommend the Hill as well. The Italian food on the hill is amazignly good. Try Rigazzi's. http://www.saucemagazine.com/rigazzis/

i don't know what your idea of "not expensive" is but old spaghetti factory" was fan tastic food and very resonabe. our bill was 50 bucks for 2 adults (1 drink apiece) and 2 children. that never happens! the food is "bellisimo"
the other thing you could think about is a riverboat dinner cruise, in the eve. that may just what the Dr. ordered. that would be beautiful. if memory serves... it's about 20-25 dollars/adult for a 2- 2.5 hour ride. Good Luck and i hope you have the perfect time, whatever you do.

I'm not sure if kids are allowed, but McGurk's in St. Louis is sooooo yummy! It's an Irish bar that has a beautiful courtyard complete w/ a garden and waterfall. We went there a few years ago and were expecting your typical bar food. Their food is anything but! It was so delicious w/ many different unique options to pick from. Their website is, www.mcgurks.com and you can click on the picture link and check out the patio. It's under green grows the garden. It looks like they take reservations for the patio as well as inside. I highly suggest checking into them! Yummy!! I want to go there again now!! :) Have fun!!

WOW can you please share with me what you find out on places in St. Louis??? My husband will be 40 in October and would love ideas.

Thanks

Is Zia's on the hill still open?? It's been years since I lived there, but it was one of my favorite restaurants. They have a back room area that should accomodate all of you and when you are done, you can walk down to Milos and have a nightcap while the kids play bocce ball!

Have a great time!
