For those who don't wish to indulge in large slabs of meat, the menu also includes salmon, scampi and lobster, as well as chicken Gorgonzola and chicken saltimbocca. The wine list includes several dozen bottles of both red and white and a smattering of sparklings; in contrast to the relatively high entrée prices, most bottles are in the $20-$40 range.
Our desserts were fabulous, especially a rich bread pudding with cream Chantilly and essence of lemon and an in-houseproduced quartet of ultraripe strawberries encased in chocolate.

In short, it was a generally very good to excellent meal, but with prices touching the high end of the St. Louis scale, I would have expected much more pampering and a lot fewer mistakes. Every lover of St. Louis' unique architectural treasures should eat at Carmine's at least once, but if the restaurant expects to build a steady local repeat clientele, it needs to execute with much greater precision.
