801 Fish: Clayton Restaurant Week

IMG_0177

Last night I enjoyed 801 Fish as a part of Clayton Restaurant Week, it was my first time at this restaurant (though I blogged about it opening a few months ago and had been eager to try it.) 801 Fish is the sister restaurant of 801 Chophouse across the street. Both of these restaurants are owned by the 801 Restaurant Group, based out of Des Moines, Iowa. The space is sophisticated and unique, with plenty of open space. It is the perfect place to celebrate special occasions, business entertainment, or a night out with friends to enjoy fresh fish.

Did you know that all the fish and seafood is brought in daily. When the fish reaches your plate just know that it was in the water a mere 36 hours ago. I enjoyed the oysters- both grilled and raw as well as a red snapper entree that was served Creole style with grits and shrimp. It. Was. DELICIOUS.

Clayton Restaurant Week is going on through January 29th.

Lunch @ the new Herbie’s in Clayton

IMG_0732

Open for Business!

This past week I had lunch at Herbies in Clayton. I am sad that Herbie’s moved from the Central West End, though happy that it is in walking distance from my office now. The food was yummy and I can’t wait to try it for dinner!  I would recommend that you make a reservation for lunch or dinner since it seems to be very popular!

Clayton Home Sold and a 5 Star Review

hillvale-2

I was able to assist a lovely family with buying this fabulous home in Clayton. We were dealing with a multiple contract situation, but I was able to negotiate on behalf of my clients to make sure their contract was accepted. Below is the Zillow review as seen here.

 11/27/2016 – MRKAES2016
Bought a Single Family home in 2016 for approximately $950K in Clayton, MO.

Ted helped us secure a desirable home in a neighborhood that had a very tight housing market. Ted gave us priceless advice on how to bid for the house when in a multiple bid situation. He was always responsive when we needed advice. Ted is passionate about residential real estate. With his  excellent understanding of his buyers, he helped us steer clear of properties that were unsuitable for our needs. Ted’s low-key, understated manner belies a keen and forceful command of his trade. It’s no wonder he is at the top of his game in St. Louis on both the buying and selling side. I’d never hesitate to recommend Ted to either a buyer or a seller of St. Louis real estate.

What is Saint Louis Strong?

Saint Louis Strong is an aspiring 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit group advocating for unification of St. Louis City into St. Louis County. Through inclusive and nonpartisan means St. Louis Strong seeks to build an diverse grassroots movement to mount support for its efforts. While other nonprofits do examine this issue, their 501(c)(3) status limits them from political activity. We seek to partner with these informative groups and collaborate with various stakeholders in the region. At the end of the buck stops with each resident. Let’s make sure we’re building strong future for St. Louis by working together today.

From the Facebook event.

After Better Together’s series of reports, the Ferguson Commission report, the Police Executive Research report, and the Department of Justice report, it is time for citizens to take the facts into their own hands. Join us at our third roundtable as we review how fragmentation affects you the individual. Together we’ll brainstorm on how to use our region’s resources more effectively.

Our goal is to amplify the voice of the average resident and to connect neighbors under a shared desire for meaningful and effective policy change.
