October Council Meeting: Yia Yia's, 10/10

Our latest quarterly Clubs Council meeting took place at Yia Yia's. For Council dinners, instead of going to somewhere new, we go to a restaurant favorite. This time was Yia Yia's in Chesterfield, and as usual, it didn't disappoint. I wanted a light meal so I got Bill's Chicken Salad, and it was delicious, and reasonably priced. The chicken is "hot mustard glazed" and had a great taste to it. I have however been to Yia Yia's before and eaten more generously - and I remember the pork being amazing. Dinner was great, amongst good company, and I love this restaurant's atmosphere. Upon first look you might think it'd be a bit stuffy with snobby service, but quite the contrary. Everyone working there was really nice. All other attendees gave Yia Yia's high marks. Only con really was although the server was really nice, service was a little slow...or maybe it just felt that way because once again my daughter, almost one, accompanied us, and to summarize, she wasn't in the highest of spirits. I think it's officially time to ensure babysitters are acquired for dinner club events. I've never been disappointed in Yia Yia's and I'd go as far as to say it's one of the finer and more unique eateries in West County. I've even celebrated Thanksgiving at Yia Yia's before with my family. They have, at least in previous years, a wonderful traditional spread and it's nearly that time of year so let this be a suggestion for those of you who don't want to spend the whole of turkey day in the kitchen. I give it 5 out of 5 spoons for being dependently good all around. And you?

September Good Dinner Club: Il Bell Lago, 9/26

September Good Dinner Club was at Il Bel Lago. Jackie Olinger picked this venue located in Creve Coeur. The food was unanimously liked, rated 4 and 5 spoons by all attendees. Most gave atmosphere and service high rankings as well, however a few were a bit disappointed in the service. Although the waiter was attentive and accurate, special requests (substitutions) were not allowed and bill couldn't be split. Overall, I rate this restaurant 4 out of 5 spoons. What do you think?
