    Totally forgot to take pictures of our food! It’s was so beautiful and delicious! They sent me a text confirming a reservation, but didn’t have it when we arrived. The professional and friendly still offered my dad and I service, atmosphere and food that exceeded expectation. I heard it is a great spot to take out of town guests no matter their food preferences and I can see why:) The Fountain’s sophisticated and modern takes on familiar classics are delightful. The deserts and drinks are killer! It’s sure to please life-long St. Louis residents as well as visitors!

    The Fountain is a charming, retro-inspired spot famous for creative ice cream martinis and classic comfort food. The décor is whimsical and art deco, adding to the unique experience. Friendly service and indulgent desserts make it a fun destination for a treat, date night, or special outing.

    Great place! Really cute atmosphere and great food. Not huge portions but not bad. Reasonably priced but the star of the show are the desserts and the atmosphere! The staff was really friendly too! It was way out of our way but I'm glad we took the time to visit.

    Disappointment for sure. Overrated. Relatively rude unfriendly staff. Did not seem to be very nice to guests waiting to come in to eat either. Empty tables and would think they would explain to guests sitting in the rain that they would be happy to allow them to sit as long as they realized they would need to wait for service. For our visit, ice cream was good but nothing exceptional. Just good ice cream and overpriced if anything—definitely not cheap eat. Service was inattentive and rather snooty. Worst of the bunch was Tim, who could best be described as snobby. Overall disappointing experience. Perfectly alright. Sandwiches we had were alright but nothing special. Worst of the meals we have had in Saint Louis. I would try somewhere else. We have enjoyed Blueberry, Fitz’s, and Anthonino’s Taverna (my favorite so far).

    Absolutely amazing experience! You can tell they source their dairy from somewhere good. Entrees were a chicken wrap and sandwich for my date, and the cheese and cream were phenomenal. For desert, date wanted a classic chocolate malt and got exactly that. Top notch. I ordered “The Gambler” sundae, and the staff made me the pictured creation. Absolutely amazing desert!! Perfectly balanced flavors. Highly recommend this place, and recommend getting The Gambler! Let the staff surprise you
