Like Riddle's Penultimate in the Delmar Loop, ya  mean? One of my faves. Moderately pricey, but always excellent! Check the "This week's special" menu. And a wonderful beer and wine list too! If ya ever need a bottle of pretty good wine, drop by and pick up a bottle of whatever Riddle's is serving by the glass at the bar. They change often and are always really good!

Okay a couple others:

Pats (Oakland and Tamm) -  A great Brain sandwich (hard to find these days) also a great fried chicken place.  Bar-ish but the food is good.  (What was the name of the place on South Broadway that had the best brain sandwiches?)

Chueys - Down the street from  Pats - (I'm not a fan of Mexican but friends say it's not bad)

Here's a bar-ish nook that nobody knows - BJ's in Florissant.  It's a little hole on the corner of Florissant and Washington that has a wonderful pizza. I lived near , years ago(20) and remembered the pizza.  A couple of weeks ago, I stopped and ordered a pizza to go and it was still good.

Bonaire - It's been a while since I have been there.  This place is different.  I am talking about the place in Alton.  Maybe someone will elaborate on what Bonaire is all about.

I could go on but I will stop rambling.
