Westchester in Chesterfield 3-2-24

I would give this restaurant a 4.5/5

It had been a while, so we decided to go back to the Westchester in Chesterfield.  We had been there a couple times, but they have turned into a legit fine dining restaurant.  Now, they have wine dinners that are WAY out of our price range.  

They must have a happy hour deal from about 3-5/6, because when we entered at 5, the bar was packed and not one table had anyone at it...we were the first.  We started with a cocktail.  I had looked at the wine list online and thank goodness it was exactly the same in the restaurant.  This is a place that has many bottles of wine over $100.  That's not us.  We started with soup.  Mike got the French Onion and I tried their soup of the day, which was almost like a beef stew turned into a soup with a Thai chili flavoring.  It was called Thai beef soup.  It was delicious!

For our wine we actually chose the cheapest cabernet on the menu and it was perfectly fine with out meal.  It was called Cultivar.  We both liked it fine with our food.  

Mike had a filet, green beans, roasted carrots, mashed potatoes and some shredded brussel sprouts (that he didn't like, because he doesn't really like brussel sprouts).  The rest he ate ALL of.

I had the "Seafood Stew."  I know, it looks like a ciopino, but it is an Asian take on that famous Italian stew.  Pretty much the same ingredients but instead of just tomatoes and garlic in the broth, this one gets green curry and it is served with jasmine rice.  It was ever so slightly spicy and it was super yummy!

For dessert we split a very fancy creme brule that came with two lovely macrons.  It was easily enought for two.
