It might seem surprising that one of the best things at a seafood-focused spot is ribs, but Indo’s palm sugar ribs are literally the best we’ve ever had. Chef Nick Bognar’s signature fish sauce caramel (used as both marinade and glaze) creates the perfect balance of umami, sweetness and depth. Finished with a touch of honey, a bright herb salad, and candied peanuts, these fall-off-the-bone fried ribs are a must-order every time. While you’re there, be sure to try the funky and herbaceous Garden of Words cocktail made with edamame syrup. Indo also recently debuted its brand new sunroom, so book your reservation there instead of the dining room for immaculate vibes.

This dreamy lineup includes a zesty Limoncello Spritz, a classic Aperol Spritz, a bubbly Peach Bellini, and the standout favorite: the Garden Spritz. Made with St. Germain, Hendrick’s Gin, cucumber juice and Fever Tree Cucumber Sparkling, the Garden Spritz is like summer in a glass: crisp, floral, and endlessly refreshing. Grab your friends, claim a patio table, and toast to spritz season in style.

Grand Bistro's cocktails

GRAND BISTRO After nearly two years, the beloved space at 3195 S. Grand Blvd. has reopened its doors. Grand Bistro, the reincarnation of longtime Vietnamese favorite Pho Grand, quietly debuted this spring – no fanfare, just the familiar aroma of simmering broth drifting into the South Grand air.

P H OTO S BY L AU R E N H E A L E Y

Pho Grand’s 2022 closure after 33 years left a deep void in the community. “It was like the neighborhood losing a child,” Rachel Witt, executive director of the South Grand CID, told Sauce previously. Now, under the direction of Andrew Trinh – son of original owners Michael and Tami Trinh – Grand Bistro honors that legacy while offering a fresh chapter.

The menu is expansive and familiar, and while we already know the pho delivers, we ventured into new territory. The Vietnamese chicken lettuce wraps are a great starter, light and savory with perfect crunch. The pan-fried noodles impress with crispy edges and tender vegetables, and the rice dishes are equally satisfying. On the cocktail side, the mezcal-based Passion Project is a creamy, sour flavor bomb with fruity passion fruit. The Grand Bistro Old Fashioned was also nice with a hint of pho notes mixed in.

With Vietnamese-inspired cocktails and the same family recipes behind the food, Grand Bistro feels both new and nostalgic.

FIVE IRON GOLF

Grand Bistro mi xao mem

Five Iron Golf's pro bay

Five Iron Golf has officially opened its first St. Louis-area location in downtown Clayton, bringing a highenergy, all-skill-levels-welcome vibe to the ground floor of Emerson Tower.

Spanning 8,300 square feet, the space is filled with cutting-edge golf simulators, lounge seating, and a full bar and kitchen – but don’t let the sleek design or golf tech intimidate you. This spot was built just as much for casual hangouts, birthday parties and happy hour crews as it was for serious golfers.

Five Iron is built to meet you where you are, whether you’re a pro or just in it for the vibes. Yes, there’s instruction, leagues, and Callaway fittings, but the real fun comes from games like putt putt-style challenges and dodgeballstyle competitions. It’s approachable, social and flexible: Mornings are mellow with solo practice and complimentary breakfast for members, while afternoons and late nights buzz with groups, cocktails and music.

The menu highlight? The hot honey whipped ricotta with warm pita triangles, which we’d go back for alone. There’s also a solid cocktail list featuring crowd-pleasers like the Spread Love (of golf) Spritz, a sweeter riff on an Aperol spritz, alongside beer, wine and zero-proof options.

8027 Forsyth Blvd., Clayton, fiveirongolf.com

ROBIN RESTAURANT After two years of pop-ups as The Robin Project, chef Alec Schingel has opened his first brick-and-mortar, Robin Restaurant, now open in the former home of The Benevolent King in Maplewood. The 36-seat space offers a $75 four-course prixfixe menu rooted in Midwestern seasonality, presented with fine-dining polish but grounded in warmth and approachability.

P H OTO S BY L AU R E N H E A L E Y

Dishes are thoughtfully portioned and beautifully plated – you’re paying as much for the experience as the food.

During our visit, highlights included a light, verdant green garlic soup over creamed spinach, smoky asparagus on savory farm cheese with cured egg yolk, and ultra-creamy mushrooms in a rich broth that even won over the mushroom-averse diner in our party.

The pork featured a crispy exterior with sweet apple accents, while the chicken was juicy and tender, and desserts like the Baked Alaska and a heartier, less-sweet riff on gooey butter cake rounded things out. The portions are smaller than what you’ll find at most places around town — a welcome change. We left feeling fully satisfied but not overly stuffed, a rare and refreshing shift from the typically excessive portions in America.

Note: the menu changes seasonally, so these specific dishes may not be available when you go, but they reflect the kitchen’s creativity and balance.

Expect fresh silverware with each course, attentive service and a space designed to feel just a bit better than home.

PARTY Where to find the best burgers in St. Louis

St. Louis knows how to build a great burger. From classic smash patties to over-the-top creations stacked high with bold toppings, the city’s burger scene is as diverse as it is delicious. Whether you’re after something simple or a little more indulgent, these local spots deliver the goods.

Basso Basso is serving delectable burgers at both its longtime location at The Cheshire, as well as the brand-new spot at Westport Plaza.

Each features a wood-fired patty layered with giardiniera relish, fontina, crispy onions and rich marrow butter, served with truffle fries, ketchup and aioli.

Multiple locations, basso-stl.com

Carnivore At Carnivore, the burgers start with a hefty half-pound of prime beef cooked to order and served on a soft, flavorful bun from Pete’s Italian Bakery. You can customize your build with toppings like crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or grilled onions, then choose from seasoned fries or another side to round out the plate. Simple, high-quality ingredients and attention to detail make this a standout spot for a classic, no-nonsense burger done right.

5257 Shaw Ave., Suite 100, St. Louis, 314.449.6328, carnivore-stl.com

D’s Place

D’s Place has built a loyal following thanks to its creative weekly specials, including an over-the-top Burger of the Week and crispy Wontons of the Week that keep regulars coming back. The dog-friendly patio offers outdoor TVs, yard games, and plenty of seating, making it a popular spot on nice days. Inside, wall-to-wall TVs and full sports packages make it easy to catch every game. A generous happy hour runs Monday

900 Barton St., St. Louis, 314.659.8314, dsplacestl.com

Schlafly Beer Schlafly brings the burger love with a lineup as bold as its brews. Keep it classic with the Schlafly Smash, featuring double smashed patties, American cheese, caramelized onions, and pickles. The Bottleworks Burger goes big with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and house sauce. Craving something smoky? Try the BBQ Turkey Burger with beerbraised onions and tangy BBQ sauce. For heat seekers, the Chorizo Burger blends beef and chorizo with pepper-jack, spicy mayo, and a crispy fried egg. Each one is served on a toasted brioche bun and pairs perfectly with a pint.

Westport Social Westport Social keeps things lively with three burger builds. The House Burger stacks a sirloin, brisket and short rib blend with cheddar, roasted tomato, bacon and garlic aioli.

How Tamara Keefe Turned a Dream Into a Microcreamery Empire

P H OTO C O U R T ES Y O F C L E ME N T I N E ' S

The Flavor mptress

Ten years ago, Tamara Keefe traded

This spring, Clementine’s Ice Cream celebrated a decade of scooping happiness with a weeklong birthday bash, a brand-new line of flavors and even a limited-edition vinyl record. The collection, called “Songs About Ice Cream: Tasty Tracks on Wax,” features original music by St. Louis artists and is available at all Clementine’s locations (excluding Kirkwood) and online. The city joined the festivities in official fashion, declaring May 17 “Clementine’s Ice Cream Day” in honor of the shop’s 10-year legacy.

While the anniversary marks a major milestone, Keefe’s road to success didn’t follow the usual playbook. A former global brand executive who once ran a $70 million business, Keefe walked away from the corporate world after what she describes as an emotional reckoning. “I was 38, crying over coffee at a girls’ weekend,” she recalled.

“Everyone thought I had this glamorous life, but I was miserable. I knew I had to do something different.”

That something turned out to be ice cream.

A kid who grew up making ice cream with her family, Keefe poured her savings into launching Clementine’s in 2015. She began making batches in her kitchen, eventually upgrading to a shared city-owned incubator saucemagazine.com I SAUCE MAGAZINE I 23

Today, Clementine’s operates nine scoop shops across Missouri and Illinois, with Kansas City and Bentonville expansions on the horizon.

The company also ships nationwide through Goldbelly and offers private event ice cream catering. As Missouri’s only microcreamery, Clementine’s churns every batch with hormone- and RBST-free dairy from local, grass-fed cows, achieving a decadent 16-18% butterfat.

indulgent, earning Keefe the nickname “The Flavor Temptress” and a nod from Oprah, who declared the brand’s Gooey Butter Cake the “sexiest ice cream alive.” From cocktailinspired scoops to the new Golden Age of Hollywood collection, ice creams inspired by the favorite desserts of old Hollywood stars, Keefe keeps creativity at the core.

At Clementine’s, it’s not just about the scoops; it’s about escape. Keefe and her team carefully choreographed every detail to deliver what she calls a “15-minute vacation” for guests. Think vintage French decor, curated music playlists that shift from day to night and local art woven into the design. “People can’t always describe why they love being here,” she said.

“They just know they do.”

The brand draws its name, and much of its spirit, from Clementine, Keefe’s grandmother’s stylish and unforgettable best friend. Known

kitchen before landing her first brick-andmortar spot in Lafayette Square. The lines soon stretched around the block, prompting her to open a second location. “I thought that would shorten the lines,” she laughed.

“And so, when we finally got the second one open, we had the same lines and it was kind of at that point, I was like, ‘Oh, I think I have something here’.”

for her sweeping silver hair and trademark red lipstick, Clementine left a stylish legacy that Keefe now carries forward in both look and spirit. “I’ve always said I’d raise a daughter just like her,” Keefe shared. “Clementine’s became that daughter.”

Scaling the business wasn’t without its trials.

Keefe self-funded Clementine’s for years, forgoing a paycheck and relying on friends for meals. “I ate Top Ramen for a good two and a half years,” she said. “No one sees those years.”

As Clementine’s enters its second decade, Keefe is laying the groundwork for major growth – franchising, grocery partnerships and a first-time capital raise. For all the expansion and accolades, staying connected to the community that shaped her remains Keefe’s constant.

With 98% of leadership positions held by women, Keefe celebrates Clementine’s as a female-driven business. For aspiring women entrepreneurs, Keefe’s advice is clear-eyed: “Know what you’re sacrificing. Everything takes twice as long, and costs twice as much.

But if you have that fierce passion, no one can get in your way. Every ‘no’ is just a path to a better ‘yes.’” As Clementine’s looks toward its next chapter, Keefe’s vision is simple: “Clementine’s for all.”
