Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Spain, we take a playful approach to tapas style dining by combining local and seasonal ingredients with classic Iberian sensibilities. The menus blend traditional takes on Spanish classics with drinks and dishes that have a distinctly Midwestern point of view – the result is a shared drinking and dining experience that is uniquely craveable and truly memorable.

This was fun!
First of all, we are traveling with a dog and staying at the hotel- obviously, we knew we wouldn’t be able to sit in the restaurant, so we asked if it would be ok to sit in the lobby with our pup and order from there. They said yes! We wouldn’t be mad if it was not an option, and we are extremely grateful for the accommodation.
Second, while gluten free options are not marked on the menu, they happily explained what I could or could not order. Had no issues afterwards!
Third, the food and drinks was delicious. We started with carpaccio, loved it. Then one of the best patatas bravas I had, and gambas al ajillo that inspired us to finally learn to do it ourselves. The steak was great (although smaller than expected) and the cheescake was a perfect finish to it all.
Overall, it was a great night and highly recommended!

Love the vibe of this place! Came for a friend’s birthday and we all enjoyed the experience. Serving sizes are pretty small though, we had to order another plate after putting our first order in after realizing this.
It was fun to walk around and look at the art afterwards. I would highly recommend giving this place a try. And great photo opps too!

Food was great. Upscale tapas at a reasonable price. Great selection of tequilas. Servers were very attentive. Atmosphere was pretty mellow.

Idol Wolf is has a wonderful array of tapas and other delicious appetizers. The new vanilla basque cheesecake is also scrumptious. However, the main dish we had was vastly overpriced and sadly forgettable. This place has some great flavors but for the most part you will be paying for a slightly more pricy experience than what it should be. Granted, valet parking is included and the hotel has a beautiful museum and aesthetic.

Came to see the art exhibit for date night and decided to stop in. The ambiance is warm and inviting and you get enjoy glimpses of the vast art displayed. We ordered the Chicken Caesar and Hen of the Woods for starters which were both pleasant dishes. I didn’t particularly care for how the butter over powers the masa cake and makes it soggy. Our entrees took quite a while to come out to the point we almost decided to leave and just pay for what we had already eaten. The manager did come out and explain the delay and gave us a desert to make up for it however it doesn’t compensate for the sub par service by our waiter. He was less than attentive and seemed more preoccupied with the dinners in the back room. We had to flag him down several times to get refills. When we asked on the status of our food brushed us off and said it’s coming as he scurried off through the back door. Honestly the wait staff just ruined what would have otherwise been a great dinning experience now I just feel like I paid $150 to be ignored.

Never had a bad experience. I’ve been 3 times and it’s just as charming as ever. I love when the muesli collection changes, always fun to explore.
Each time I go, I always get squid ink pasta, chorizo hen of the woods mushrooms, and coffee ice cream.

While the credits provided by the American Express program were probably only good enough for one meal here, most of the dishes that my partner and I had were tasty and it was an enjoyable experience overall. We tried to keep our options limited so we could keep our spending reasonable, but I can already say that I would recommend people visiting St. Louis or even staying at the hotel check this establishment out.
In terms of the tapas, the patatas bravas had some very tasty potatoes! The aioli complemented the existing flavor very well, and the potatoes themselves were fried on point. They also had very nice crunch and texturally maintained a good balance between crunchiness and softness. The “chorizo” roasted hen of the woods dish had a masa cake that resembled polenta in terms of both flavor and texture, and the smoked aioli offered a nice addition. The mushroom on the top was way too salty and oily, though, so I really had to eat it with the masa cake to make it work.
Under “from the sea” category, the tuna on toast offered a juxtaposition of various flavors because of the ingredients from tuna to tallow aioli to the herbs. The toast itself also tasted really good, so whatever I placed together with the toast simply offered an amazing taste. I enjoyed it thoroughly. As for the squid ink pasta, the calamari was a bit chewy, and the pasta was definitely overcooked beyond al dente, on top of the fact that every bit of pasta was a small piece of pasta noodle that couldn’t even stay on my fork. I think using spaghetti or bucatini in the future may be a better idea so customers can use their forks to roll the pasta noodles. The tomato sauce had a strong taste, which wasn’t a bad thing. It was a very specific kind of tomato sauce and I couldn’t quite tell what was included.
Once again, for those visiting St. Louis and / or staying at the 21c Museum Hotel, I would recommend them giving this establishment a try, and maybe even choose different dishes across several tries so that there would be a comprehensive experience all around.

Very cool vibe. Arrived and saw an elegant photoshoot on the stairs. Quickly ushered to nice table with great ambiance. BlackBerry sage gin and tonic and chorizo margarita were both delicious. Plant based appetizers were delicious. Paella was great although I’m not a connoisseur. After dinner wandered the interesting attached modern art galleries. Would definitely recommend this as an interesting hotel to stay at and a great destination for date night food and drinks. It’s downtown St Louis.

Idol Wolf is a bar and restaurant inside the 21c hotel in St Louis. There’s no parking here, so it’s either street parking or very expensive valet parking. Their menu is a good size, with pricing being a bit high for the portion size but the taste being great. The bar is well stocked and specializes in whiskey and Scotch but has everything else. The service here is phenomenal, with the bartender being super friendly and helpful and the wait staff being quick on getting you what you need. It was a cool experience inside because of the art around too. Overall a solid spot, especially if you’re staying at the hotel.

Just went to the bar on my birthday, on a Sunday, and Sunday was working and they were super sweet and made me some of their delicious creations. Very great experience and would love to come back. Spent $90 on 5 cocktails and a desert 🙂
