Business Lunch

Because it resides so close to the seat of power and influence in St. Louis County -- which is to say Downtown Clayton -- Cardwell's has a natural advantage when it comes to attracting customers interested in a business lunch. But thanks to its quality New American cuisine, attentive service and attention to detail, Cardwell's has managed to stay at the forefront of the power lunch set for many years. The bar is a well-known spot for seeing and being seen, and the menu offers an ever-shifting selection of foods that are certain to delight. Add to that a terrific wine list, and it isn't hard to see why St. Louisans feel that Cardwell's is the place to go when you want to be sure to close the deal.
