1. Terrace 54 Bar + Table
Kid-friendly environment, dog-friendly patio, happy hour specials

My wife and I enjoyed a recent 1-night staycation that included multiple dining experiences at Terrace 54 Bar + Table. We were impressed with every dish we tried, from poolside appetizers to dinner and breakfast the next morning. The seasonal menu at Terrace 54 Bar + Table features locally sourced produce from sustainable farmers in the area.
Some of the standout items we tried included crispy fried cauliflower, creamy cacio e pepe, and delicious lamb meatballs served with roasted garlic tzatziki sauce, feta, and grilled naan. Each dish showcased the freshness of the locally sourced ingredients and the care taken in their preparation. We were impressed by the variety and quality of the menu offerings.

3. Au Bon Pain
Cozy bakery cafe vibe, Committed to sustainability, Offers catering services

The author recently visited a restaurant known as Au Bon Pain for brunch and ordered the 2 scoop chicken salad with added red onion. They were charged over $7 for this meal, which they found to be overpriced, especially since it did not come with the small salad that is included with the prefill pack priced at $4. The following day, the author inquired about the unexpected charge and was told that it was due to an upcharge for ordering from behind the counter and adding onions. The author strongly disagreed with this explanation and felt that they were overcharged for just a few strings of red onion.
In conclusion, the author does not recommend visiting this restaurant for brunch due to their unsatisfactory experience with the chicken salad order and the perceived overcharging. They feel that the restaurant charges arbitrary prices and is not transparent about their pricing structure. The author advises customers to be aware of potential upcharges and cautions against ordering simple add-ons like red onion. Overall, the author's experience with Au Bon Pain left a bad taste in their mouth, both figuratively and literally.

8. Ginger Kale (now Sunday Press | Hermann Park)
Located near Hermann Park and Museum District, provides outdoor seating, and supports local artists

Before setting off on a train journey, I stopped at a nearby location for coffee and a snack. The coffee I ordered was mediocre, seemingly mass-produced and lacking the quality of a specialty shop. However, the strawberry toast I tried was delightful, making the stop worthwhile. The seating area, furnished with charming cement seats, provided a nice place to relax and cool down.
Moving on to the next topic, I visited a park where I grabbed a quick coffee and snack. The coffee was passable, serving as a decent option for the park. Unfortunately, the tea was too sweet for my preference, and I was charged for a glass of water despite requesting it with my order. Generally, the food and beverage options met the standards of a park, but failed to stand out in terms of quality.
