Recipe Introduction
surrounded by trees ,was a stagecoach stop 20 miles west of the Mississippi Riverfront of downtown St. Louis. By the 1890's residents were making the long trek just for the food.....more than a century later, suburbs surround the plain white clapboard restaurant. The menu includes traditional classics...prime rib, Chicken Marsala, fresh seafood. Inside the ambience is comfortable with fireplace, and rich colors...generations of families have eaten ribs in the screened log "cabins" outside on summer evenings....why have they endured so long?...according to one of the owners ,Carl Coles " History and tradition are important, but good food and service come first".......
