Somewhere to eat in St. Louis, semi-formal but hip
Looking for suggestions as to where to eat in St. Louis area for a pre-school dance date for two young college students (don't worry about the budget, we're broke but we want to consider all options)

I would consider Eleven Eleven Mississippi - I really enjoyed my meal there and the inside looks pretty great, an excellent place for a date

is there a preferred location? Clayton? Downtown? Lafayette Square?

no preferred location exactly, but it'd be convenient if it's an easy place to find (not especially familiar with st. louis)

well, when I was a poor grad student, we often went to Pho Grand for a date night. (many places around this area are international and interesting, and not so expensive ) it's not exactly fine dining, but pretty nice.
It really depends on your budget, but here are some more.
Boogaloo (Maplewood: fun atmosphere)
Trattoria Marcella (fine dining, may be hard to find but better deal than anywhere on the Hill)
Moxy Bistro (CWE- easy to find, hip)

1111 is pretty good (their “blt” of brioche-lobster-thyme is great). I like Franco, in soulard. For locally sourced food (not all outstanding, but the best burgers for sure) you might hit up Riddles. The best ‘fine dining’ I have had in stl is Sidney Street Café. Niche gets lots of talk, and I like but don’t love for the most part.

I would also like to second Trattoria Marcella. It is an outstanding bargain. The best true Italian (rather than Italian-American in “the hill”) in the city.
