Frazer's Restaurant 1-27-24

I'd give this place a solid 4/5.

This restaurant is right next to the Anheiser Busch Brewery.  You'd think with a name like Frazer's we'd have tried it before.  It is a nice place.  We sat on the main floor (there is an upstairs) by a window with a great view of the brewery.

They have a rather eclectic menu with a little bit of everything.  We started with a cocktail and charcuterie board.  Mike had a gin and tonic and I tried one of their James and the Spicey Peach.  It has serrano pepper infused mescal, peach liquour, and fresh lemon juice.  It was yummy.  

     

The charcuterie board wasn't anything too exciting, but I liked the funky drink.

They didn't really have much of a wine selection (and I couldn't find it online ahead of time, so I ended up picking a glass of a  Cab/Syrah blend called Odd Lot.  It was just OK.

 

 Mike ended up having a local beer, since he was going to have German food for dinner.  He went with the waiter's recommendation of Urban Chestnut's Schnickelfritz.  He liked it.  

For dinner Mike had their famous pork schnitzel and I had seafood chiopino.  Mike REALY liked the schnitzel and said it was some of the best he'd had.  The chiopino was good, but the mussels hadn't been cleaned well and there were a few bites with either sand or broken bits of shell.  That is always a bummer

   

For dessert we split a creme brule.  It was big with a thick layer of crunch on the top.  

All in all, I really liked this place and would definitely come back.
