Review: Tenderloin Room, Chase Park Plaza Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri

I had lunch at the Tenderloin Room of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel on October 25, 2005. We were late in the lunch cycle (arrived after 1 PM) and so during our meal there were few other diners.

The restaurant is decorated in a Victorian style with white tableclothes and gold-rimmed plates. The menu was a mix of sandwiches and entrees. I ordered a Tenderloin hamburger which came with a Greek salad. There didn't appear to be French fries on the menu and they were not missed. I find most Greek salads too salty for my tastes but this one was pleasantly NOT salty for a change for which we complemented the Chef.

It was simply a nice lunch in nice surroundings. What made it all the nicer is that the restaurant is located on the ground level of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel which has gone through a $100 million restoration starting in 1997.

The hotel itself dates back the to 1930s and is historically famous among St. Louisians.. We were directed to a basement level housing a small hall with pictures of Presidents and entertainers that have frequented this hotel property.

All in all, a nice lunch at a historical setting in St. Louis nearby Forest Park. A stroll about the premises makes for a further feel of this St. Louis landmark.
