Nice and quaint atmosphere… good food reasonably priced and cool staff

Great food but horrible service all I can say is don’t sit in Baileys section if your black???

Great atmosphere food was amazing

Nice vibe with very friendly staff. The food was just okay to me. Shrimp and grits: the shrimps were perfectly cooked but the taco flavor/seasoning did not work. Arancini: great texture but the sauce has a very strange and unique flavor. Asparagus salad: the asparagus were almost perfect but I couldn't taste the yuzu in the vinaigrette because the rice vinegar was so overpowering. I usually really like pickled radishes (with jajangmyeon, kimbap, etc.) but it did not work in this salad.

Everything about Polite Society is terrific -- the look, everyone who works there is fantastic, the food!!! oh the food is so good! So so so good - I go every week I am in St. Louis!! Highly recommended!!!

First time at Polite Society for brunch and it did not disappoint! Chicken & waffles were the absolute best I've ever tasted & the cherry on tip was the Thai chili maple syrup, OMG! Shrimp & grits were spectacular and I'm not a fan of grits in general, but these were lucky the bowl clean delicious!!I've also gone fur Dinner and the spinach dip was soon good, as well as a wonderful burger, so delicious. My cocktail, the Michigander, was a joy to sip. If you like bourbon, don't sleep on that one!

We had a splendid warm experience with the staff and food!Craig, the bartender had the most welcoming smile, he was very helpful and knowledgeable with recommendations, not only with the mixology but also with his love of great food. We came from out of town to savior the delicious seasonal plates they had to offer.I ordered the panko seared walleye fish, it was mouth watering and left my taste bud wanting more! I can't wait to come back.Craig is the GOAT!

My husband and I just had our anniversary dinner here, it was our first time visiting. It was so cozy and relaxed, the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed ourselves. I was very satisfied with the food and drinks! Our server Eric was extremely awesome! He made sure we were good during our visit. I definitely will be visiting again and would recommend this spot!

There are so many good choices on the menu it's hard to pick one. The chicken and waffle is done just right. The bloody Mary's are excellent. We also tried the frittata and the eggs benedict. Everyone agreed each dish was perfect. Our service was wonderful, just the right amount of interaction. We loved the décor. We were glad we had reservations, even for brunch on Saturday it was busy.

The food here was great. I went for brunch and had the Farmer's Breakfast with a waffle. I wasn't pleased with nearly being seated in a corner, and that the staff are difficult to identify since they don't wear uniforms, but I enjoyed my experience overall. I had really good bellini too!
