Dominic's Restaurant Description:
Bar,Private rooms,Romantic
Parking: Available
Reservations: Recommended
Dress: Ties suggested
One of the leading restaurants on The Hill, Dominic's is held in high esteem by its patrons, whether they're longtime regulars or romance-minded newcomers. It's an upscale place, not only in terms of décor (flattering lighting from the chandeliers, brocaded walls, gilt-framed landscapes) and price, but in the way the staff handles customers. Dominic Galati himself, smooth and elegant and reserved, takes his job seriously and makes sure his employees do, too. The large menu can create anxiety for the indecisive, but the staff dispenses wisdom. While the items look pretty standard, ingredients are first-rate and little bursts of innovation stave off drowsiness. The strong wine list, heavy with Italian vintages, will please everyone. We encourage the pasta, undervalued by most, as a first course; if you fill up on it, your entrée will become a splendid lunch tomorrow. Osso buco is notable here; veal with Fontina and mushrooms is sigh-inducing. If you drive your Alfa Romeo, it'll definitely be safe---valet parking usually puts them by the front door. There's a second location, Dominic's Trattoria, at 200 S. Brentwood Blvd. in Clayton, 314-863-4567.
