Sanctuaria hosted our wedding this past Labor Day weekend, and they were absolutely amazing! We had it outside on their beautiful patio, the buffet was set up inside the wrought iron & glass enclosure, it was honestly the best day we’ve ever had…
The food was fantastic, the staff was always immediately on whatever was needed or wanted, they really looked out for us and our guests, making sure everything was moving along with no glitches or problems :-). They have their own parking as well, which is such a huge plus in the Grove!
Jennifer, their event & bar manager (& cocktail miracle worker), was with us every step of the way and everyone there made our day easy and special. If you are looking for a unique place to celebrate anything, I highly recommend checking this wonderful place out. Their food and cocktails are top notch!

The atmosphere is incredible inside and out. We have been for Sunday brunch and regular menu on Saturday. Everything has been great to include the service.

A friend and I tried this restaurant last week before a show at the FOX and loved all of our choices! They have a large alcohol menu and large tapas menu. We tried the Red Sangria and if we had time could have drank a pitcher of this it was so good! Then we shared Bacon-wrapped dates, Wicked Good Shrimp, Devil Bites, Cabrales Cigars, Seared Squash Blossoms, and Vaca Frita with Chimichurri. All of them were delicious, but our favorites were the bacon-wrapped dates, devil bites, and the Vava Frita. We went on a Tuesday night around 6 and we were the only customers for a little while. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was because after we got our last plate, no one came by again to check if we needed anything. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you’re in the area and especially if you’re going to a show at the FOX because this place is less than 10 mins away!

The idea and concept is a great draw, love the theme of the whole place. The staff from my short interaction was good no real complaints. All were helpful and courteous. What was i have to say a disappointment was the price for the quality ratio. Spend close to 15$ per drink that are sizes of shots. The food was okay but could be better.
So if looking for new and interesting place please try but just know it will be on the costly side.

This was a fantastic choice for dinner and drinks to start off the evening! Many great tapas to choose from, I especially enjoyed the Cuban Chicken Sliders and the Tostones, but everything was good. And the cocktails, oh my — the best was Good Thyming, a delicious fruity drink, and there are so many more I want to try! The staff were also really great, very friendly to chat with and they had great suggestions for navigating the menu

Food is a combination of American finger meets Cuban and Southwestern influences. Decorations give a twisted Mexican vibe that is very inviting. Hopefully they can get the gnats under control. They swarmed over our food almost the entire meal.

I don’t even know where to begin. Foster was fantastic and made some great recommendations. He was even very patient with my indecisiveness, bless his heart. The atmosphere here is just right up my alley. Don’t even get me started on, not just the food altogether, but the freaking burger!! we would come back to this city from out of state JUST to have another bite of that baby! Compliments to the chef on the Dublin Deluxe (although, this is from their to-go menu and may not be available for dine in), but oh my goodness! Yum! AND the Vaca Frita!! So much flavor! The ONLY thing I didn’t care for was the chocolate cigar dessert. They were burnt on the bottom, and I cannot stand the taste of burnt food at all, but my bf didn’t mind them.. the chocolate on the inside and the whipped cream with them were delightful. I think they make them that way to get that cigar look/feel, but too over done for me personally. The outback seating area has a midevil vibe that is to die for .
Just absolutely loved it here and so glad we stumbled upon it before we head back to MI!

Great Brunch atmosphere. Food and drinks were all delicious. Sat outside. I havent tried the regular menu but the brunch menu ia fantastic. Waffles were great and the omelette was bomb. Best brunch so far in STL.

Sanctuaria is a tapas lover’s dream – a trendy and vibrant venue with a patio offering inventive tapas, clever cocktails, and a late-night happy hour. The unique blend of Latin and South American cuisine with a modern twist, and the seasonal menu keeps things fresh. The handcrafted cocktails, sourced from locally sustainable gardens, make it a “Cocktail Mecca” with a diverse selection. The restaurant’s ambiance, featuring 17th and 18th-century art alongside modern pieces, creates a captivating experience. Sanctuaria truly lives up to its name as a sanctuary in the city, complete with a charming outdoor patio and unique event spaces. A must-visit for those seeking amazing food, handcrafted cocktails, and an incredible atmosphere.

Somehow, I’ve lived the past 5years on the Southside and never stepped foot in this place!! Today, I attended an All Women’s Brunch I purchased tickets for tht I found on FB and by golly this place didn’t disappoint not one bit!! From the decor, to how attentive our waitress Megan was and even the scenic view outside!! I got, “operated by a woman, but everyone is welcome” vibes when I used the restroom too cuz it was super clean and stocked well. Now, the Brunch menu was pretty stacked and although my friend was a lil upset there were no pancakes, her pallet was eased with The Belgium Waffle w/fruit and mushroom omelet. I on the other hand lived a lil more dangerously(I’m regretting as we speak )ordered the Monte Cristo & that mthfkr literally tasted like a deep fried ham samich wrapped in funnel cake-there was definitely a party in my mouf ! The greenhouse and additional seating outside made my day though and I am seriously looking forward to the dinner menu sooner than later!!!
