This month we\u2019re recommending a range of experiences, from a cozy comeback steeped in family tradition on South Grand to a prix-fixe tasting menu from a local chef who\u2019s just debuted his first brick-and-mortar in Maplewood. There\u2019s also one spot that\u2019s a little different from our normal recommendations: a high-tech, high-energy golf hangout in Clayton that\u2019s all about games and good vibes with a food and drink component as an added bonus. Scroll through the slideshow below to see our picks for July.<\/p>

Grand Bistro\n\nAfter 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 \u2013 no fanfare, just the familiar aroma of simmering broth drifting into the South Grand air.\n\nPho Grand\u2019s 2022 closure after 33 years left a deep void in the community. \u201cIt was like the neighborhood losing a child,\u201d Rachel Witt, executive director of the South Grand CID, told Sauce previously. Now, under the direction of Andrew Trinh \u2013 son of original owners Michael and Tami Trinh \u2013 Grand Bistro honors that legacy while offering a fresh chapter.\n\nThe 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.\n\nWith Vietnamese-inspired cocktails and the same family recipes behind the food, Grand Bistro feels both new and nostalgic.\n\n3195 S.

Robin Restaurant\n\nAfter 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 prix-fixe menu rooted in Midwestern seasonality, presented with fine-dining polish but grounded in warmth and approachability.\n\nDishes are thoughtfully portioned and beautifully plated \u2013 you\u2019re 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\u2019ll find at most places around town \u2014 a welcome change. We left feeling fully satisfied but not overly stuffed, a rare and refreshing shift from the typically excessive portions in America.\n\nNote: the menu changes seasonally, so these specific dishes may not be available when you go, but they reflect the kitchen\u2019s creativity and balance. Expect fresh silverware with each course, attentive service and a space designed to feel just a bit better than home.\n\n7268 Manchester Road, Maplewood, robinrestaurant.com Credit:<\/span> photo by Lauren Healey<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>

Five Iron Golf\n\nFive Iron Golf has opened its first St. Louis-area location in downtown Clayton, bringing a high-energy, 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 \u2013 but don\u2019t 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.\n\nFive Iron is built to meet you where you are, whether you\u2019re a pro or just in it for the vibes. Yes, there\u2019s instruction, leagues, and Callaway fittings, but the real fun comes from games like putt putt-style challenges and dodgeball-style competitions. It\u2019s 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.\n\nThe menu highlight? The hot honey whipped ricotta with warm pita triangles, which we\u2019d go back for alone. There\u2019s 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.\n\n8027 Forsyth Blvd., Clayton, fiveirongolf.com Credit:<\/span> rendering courtesy of Five Iron Golf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
