Kreis' Restaurant

Forget everything you learned in German class and say "Chrisses," and then prepare for the biggest piece of prime rib you've ever seen. That and the steaks are the best bet here, although the fresh fish is good as well, and the German specialties provide an interesting alternative. Clubby -- the kind of place where they still know how to make a Manhattan or a Rob Roy -- and often populated with the landed gentry from nearby Ladue and environs.
