My Next 30 Years

St. Louis Arch, at Night

A picture of the St. Louis Arch taken from the Top of the Riverfront restaurant at the Millenium Hotel in St. Louis during Restaurant Week 2009.

Top of the Riverfront is a revolving restaurant providing some wonderful views of St. Louis, and is located just a short distance away from the Arch. The Restaurant Week menu was wonderful and provided a superb bargain 3 course prix fixe menu for $25 that included appetizer, entree, and dessert. Individual glasses of wine were reasonably priced as well– so much so that I didn’t feel too guilty for ordering a second one.

The service was very good, and the group I was dining with was well attended to throughout the meal. The kitchen also scored points with the presentation of each dish. The grill marks on the steak were perfect, and food arranged in a visually pleasing manner. This is a place I look forward to visiting again when I return to the St. Louis area.

A Quick Picture of our Dining Table

Tonight I am enjoying a great Restaurant Week meal at Top of the Riverfront, in the Millenium Hotel in downtown St. Louis. Delicately layered mushroom, pastry, and apricot for an appetizer; delmonico steak for the entree; and a wonderful, creamy creme brûlée for desert to top it all off. (Yes, creme brûlée is one of my favorite desserts… right up there with fresh organic strawberries freshly hand dipped in dark chocolate.)

The service is good, the food is great, and the company of Shaklee friends and family is even better. Since many of them are from across the country, this is one of the few times I get to see and spend time with all of them during the year. That’s why coming to the Global Conference is one of the things I look forward to most.

The view can’t be beat- 360 degree views of the city from 28 stories up. Pictures of the Arch and other interesting items, like the Deloitte building (my day job) will be posted later. I can’t think of a better way to end the week… Well, OK… To be honest, I can’t think of too many better ways to dine on any day of the week.
