Copia Restaurant & Wine Garden

House rules they charge 20% for a tip on group on even when they state in the details it is clearly not included. Lost my business.

Been here several times, always quick service and good food. Calamari is a cut above other restaurants offerings.
Great wine list and helpful staff, worth checking out!

Food was absolutely delicious. Despite the reviews we saw, we wanted to test it out for ourselves and I must say… They are wrong. Service was great!!! Food was great!!! Definitely recommend.

This review is for the bar only
We stopped in here before heading to Mango for dinner on a Saturday night. We were offered the dining room or bar area so we opted for a high top. We had a glass of wine only. Apparently, there is a really nice patio/​garden like area in the back but we were not offered this area.
The service was fair. We could’ve been convinced to have an appetizer but our server came a couple times and was short in the interaction.
The ambiance is a bit mature and out-​dated and not what I would expect for a wine restaurant.
We may return to check out the garden patio but I would not sit in the bar area as there are other wine bars around that offer a better atmosphere for wine.

I was in town on business. Wednesday night, 7 pm, light crowd (15 people). Had the Ahi tuna. The Wasabi mashed potatoes were amazing. Service was excellent from Natalie. She was sweet and had great recommendations on each question I asked. She even had a good understanding of their very nice scotch selection.
I will be bringing my wife here for a date next time we get to StL together.

Ordered delivery through grub hub and it never came. Then received an email that the restaurant decided no delivery that night… after accepting the order… if youre going to agree to be in grubhub you should honor the commitment…
Oh and over 90.00 for carryout of two entrees and a salad… and another 20+ delivery charge and still cant get a meal from here.

Dia (the bartender) said he wanted me to taste. He said the cheapest red wine was $ 21. That was a lie. Do not go here. Liars and drug dealers prevail. This is not a safe place to go.

Aside from the 10 fruit flies that we killed the food was delicious and so was the wine. Service was on point. I will definitely return but you guys gotta do something about the fruit flies.

Man I loved the service the food just all around. I am a little mad at myself. For not eating here sooner.

I celebrated my birthday there yesterday with a party of 20. The private room that they set up for us was awesome. Our server Kelvin and the other gentlemen that assisted him were outstanding. My tomahawk ribeye was cooked to perfection! Already looking forward to my next visit!

We were all pleasantly surprised at how nice this restaurant was, the feeling and environment are very classy and elegant. Dress code was fine from dressy to super casual. We had a group of 12 and it was ready on time on a Saturday night. I cannot say enough about the food… truly amazing! I am a prime rib lover and this was the best I’ve had in St. Louis! Everyone in our group loved their meal!

Delicious food — ALMOST worth the prices! Romantic atmosphere!

These guys caused us a lot of grief. The menu had reasonable prices on everything; so when we heard the specials we stupidly did not ask the prices. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 4 drinks we were charged $ 318.76 before tip. We nearly fell over. One special, a filet mignon cost $ 69.00 and the crab legs cost $ 79.00. The waiter was unapologetic and said that lots of people ordered these dishes. The restaurant was almost empty; so I really doubt that. We could have had dinner in the finest restaurants in New York for less money, and instead we ended up in this tired, mediocre place. I strongly urge you not to bother.
The next day I spoke to the manager who apologized and offered to «help» us on our next meal there, but I’m reluctant to return

Empty restaurant takes 30 minutes to greet you, completely unacceptable! The managers were just as rude as the servers! Don’t worry Copia, you achieved your goal, we won’t be back!

Great food. Goat cheese balls are fantastic, the calamari steak is absolutely to die for. The best I have ever had. Very fresh. I’ve been here 3 times while in town on business and all 3 times the food has been fantastic. The duck breast, perfectly cooked. Lamb shank, perfect.
The formal gowns all around are a little weird and I’m unsure what that’s about, but everything else, including service, is fantastic here.

At the Copia, the food was really good, I have no complaints. I had the shrimp and grits, which had aged savory cheddar cheese, spicy succulent shrimp and they didn’t skimp on them either, the grits had a little bit of green chili which gave it that New Orleans punch, it was so delicious with the sweet roasted corn, and red bell pepper just made it umami those caramelized onions were melting in my mouth and the sausage just made me want more. I never had that dish, and this one has made me a lover of shrimp and grits!
Also served was organic spicy roasted chicken. I had a flashback to New Orleans dinning. It was topped with sausage, roasted corn and came with the most amazing srircha potatoes, I could eat those everyday.
I had the most delicious, rich gooey butter cake, topped with raspberry syrup, then topped with vanilla ice cream and a sweet rich whip cream.
Also, tasted a chocolate brownie with chocolate chips and chocolate ice cream and that rich whipped cream topping, awesome is what it was.
My appetizers were a garlic herb, parmesan risotto ball with a succulent tomato creamy cheese sauce, talk about wanting to lick the plate. I had to try the Maryland crab cakes, as I love crab meat, they were served topped with coleslaw with a strawberry vinaigrette these were delicious as well.
The service was great as far as I can tell. Food delicious, atmosphere nice… price a bit pricey… but enjoyed it.

I was in St Louis for a conference which was located in downtown, apparently not the most popular place to be in town.
Went here for dinner with a few business partners. They were plenty other conference people here for dinner, so good business for the restaurant for sure.
Food was decent, maybe worth three stars. I quite enjoyed my Cesar salad and shrimp and grits.
What bothered me tremendously is the fact that the waiter kept pushing for us to order more, like do you want scallops with your shrimps and grits etc? And when the bill came, thank goodness one of us checked, they ‘accidentally’ added two extra salads, and an extra app. They ended up removing them after we complained but very dishonest in my opinion. They were certainly taking advantage of corporate accounts. Not worth the aggravation, even when it’s not out of your own pocket. I will certainly remember not to come back here next year.

I havent actually dined in. But i ordered through a delivery service. Over an hour and a half later, nothing. two hours later. Delivery! The lady said she went into the restaurant an hour into my delivery time for my food and they had no record of it? Oh! Lets check the fax machine! Oh there it is! I ordered prime rib and it is chewy and fatty to the degree i can barely eat it. For the price and wait, i am beyond displeased. Never. Again. Ever.

I this place was amazing, we went here for my niece 21^st birthday. We bought a Groupon online for $ 98 for $ 150 worth of food. The bill was $ 300 total.

Wonderful service! Tasty wines. I had the soup special-​mushroom– YUM! And also enjoyed the fish tacos. Very good. Friend had Ahi Tuna Salad and she loved that as well. Nice place.

Was super excited for this place because I’ve never been to a ‘wine garden.’ The experience itself was great. The food, not so much. Came here after work during St. Louis restaurant week with a couple of co-​workers. We each got our own beers /​wines in addition to their display menu for restaurant week. The waiter said they were some of their most popular dishes so I was excited to try them. However, when the food arrived, everything was too salty and the plating was just very sloppy with overly large portions of food. It just felt too tacky for the classy atmosphere that they were going for. I wasn’t very impressed.
However, the atmosphere and the concept of the wine garden was spot on and it was perfect for conversing with coworkers /​happy hour. The service was great as well. So overall, I enjoyed the experience but would only go there for the drinks.
