Audubon's Hotel Restaurant & Bar - Ste. Genevieve, Missouri

I have only ever been to the restaurant section of Audubon's, but it is a very nice place. The food is delicious and well made. There are plenty of options if you are unsure of what you are in the mood for. I personally love the pretzel and the house salad. The service is fairly quick, but it is a busy dinner spot, so expect a bit of a wait. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The window tables are especially nice with a view of the cozy downtown area. The ambiance is elegant with the light music and low lighting. The restaurant is very clean and it is not very loud even with all of the patrons. There is an outdoor area as well, which is a good area for eating when it is nice out. Sometimes live music is played there as well and it has a very elegant vibe.

Restaurant Review: Had a reservation on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. They were out of at least 3 food items when we sat down and by the time we ordered our drinks, an additional 2 items were unavailable.

The waitress seemed new - while she was taking our drink orders she kept running back to the bar after almost every order to verify that they were able to make the drink. She also was using a tablet and didn’t look at us while taking our orders, both drink or food. She definitely wasn’t comfortable or confident while waiting on us, it seemed like she was put on the floor on her own too early or without proper training.

Several of us ordered Martini’s and each martini was served at a different level of liquid in the glass. Being in the service industry myself, a bartender should be making martinis the same way and they should all be the same amount of liquor/liquid in the glass, especially if these martinis are all going to the same table. We didn’t say anything the first round because our waitress was flustered enough getting our food order but the second round of martinis the same thing happened. When I asked the waitress why there was a difference, her response was “that’s just how he makes them.” Probably not her best response choice or solution to the concern. So we asked to speak to the manager and her response was “What would you like me to do about it?” Again probably not the best response - a simple I’m sorry would have been a good start followed by a let me speak to the bartender, let me fix it, can I bring you another one/something else, etc.

Food was mediocre at best. Several of our meals were missing this or that, the meat that some of us got wasn’t cooked to the temperature they asked for, we had to ask for proper silverware. It just wasn’t a great experience overall. Wouldn’t come back next time I’m in the area.

I appreciate our waitress trying her best but I she definitely needed more training both with speaking to the guests and using the tablet.

I've been to the Audubon several times over the years and my last experience ( a few days back) was probably the most negative I've had. The portions aren't huge, and I know this. I usually get the spinach salad which is very very basic but I know what to expect and I'm fine with it. It's basically spinach and egg and I add salmon. My sister got a steak medium, it was absolutely over cooked to rubber. The bartender messed up by other sisters drink twice. Martinis are pretty basic drinks. I ordered wine and it was good. The Brussels sprouts everyone got were absolutely charred. Waitress was very nice and did a good job, we just had questions and she needed to go back to the bartender or to the chef to ask every time. Which is better than just makimg up the answer. I know there are some growing pains when new ownership takes place, will try to go again in a few months, maybe when the kinks are worked out. But this last time was definitely disappointing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. At first I was a little hesitant about booking this but the rooms are incredible. Very very very clean with a non hotel like smell to it but a very home smell. Bathroom is gorgeous. In the heart of st gen. We booked for a wedding but didn’t realize that most of the weddings are in the outskirts of st gen ours was about 30 mins away. Service was great they even walked us up to our room and told us how to check out. If we need to stay in st gen again we are definitely staying there!

We ate here. The server was nice, and the food was delicious. I had the bacon wrapped mushrooms and seasonal vegetables as my meal. So good. There are only four mushrooms, but they are big enough to cut up or eat in one swoop. We had a group of 14 it took a long time to get our food and tickets. It is a little pricey but nothing crazy. I would love to go back.

My son and I stopped here while traveling The Great River Road. Chose this restaurant by chance and were blown away with the food. The homemade bread with the spinach dip was off the rails! Then I dipped the bread in my homemade French Onion soup and my God. Then I HAD to try their späzle since I make it homemade myself and it was quite good! Bravo on a great chef in the kitchen cooking great food!

We ate at their restaurant, and since we had our dogs with us, we ate outside. Their outdoor area is very dog friendly. They have bowsl for water for the dogs at each table. Our server was just as attentive to our dogs' need as she was to ours. We had a late
lunch. I had the pastrami rueben with fries, and my husband had the cod. Both were good. The only thing was that my husband said that the coleslaw was dry. The fries were a bit different. They are almost like a cross between a steak fry and chips. I really like them.

The hotel is so fresh and clean. The bed, linen, and pillows are so comfortable. We had a very peaceful stay. Our hostess was exceptional as was all of the staff. Dinner and drinks in their restaurant was perfect. There is an elevator (or stairs) to the second floor which only has I believe 7 rooms. Also a room for a light breakfast, juice and coffee. We truly enjoyed our stay.
