History

Established in 1992.

When Frazers first opened with just 25 seats for lunch only, meals were served on paper plates with plastic utensils. Because of the small capacity many customers ordered their food to go in «the traveling brown bags.» After completing a renovation of the bar, which includes an outdoor patio, there is seating for 125 guests. Twenty one years and growing Frazers is still sharing its good eats with everyone who comes through the door. Between the comforting food, carefully selected wine list, signature martinis, and decadent desserts, Frazers offers a wonderful creation for everyone.

Frazer’s is our go-​to place for a special occasion/​nice dinner. We’re pretty casual people, and we like how it’s a nice place yet it doesn’t feel «uppity.» The food is such good quality, from the bread to the appetizers to the main course. Don’t think you’re limited to the items shown on their website — Frazer’s has multiple specials (maybe up to about 5?) every night. My favorite dish is the fish special (have had halibut and another type that I don’t remember) over feta mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Chose Frazer’s for a friend’s Birthday celebration and it was perfect. Service was outstanding, thanks Dave. He really knew the menu and wines. Entrees and appetizers were excellent. On the negative, two of the specialty salads sounded great but had an unappetizing presentation and taste. The only other negative was the view from the outside of the building –it is a bit unkept and looking into the kitchen from outside gave some cause for concern as we arrived. The inside was immaculate however and overall is was a very enjoyable dinner,

Just finished dinner this place is so close to a 5 If the chef would’ve nailed the Lobster Boil by not overlooking the lobster and maybe butterflying the tail instead of cutting it in half and the green beans were a little under cooked as well. As far as the presentation of it we shared the dish Lobster Boil in 1 bowl, 1 bowl for shells and corn cobs and only 5 inch appetizer plates to eat off of not the best choice for a hands on dish As far as the service beverage refill was lacking table maintenance was spot on the warm napkin to finish up on was a nice touch the cherry leroux ice cream topped with dark chocolate clinched a return trip. As a foodie it’s nice to see fresh and different mission accomplished

My wife and I have been coming here for four years now, and can’t find a place to beat it. The wait staff is insanely knowledgeable, the chef’s are ridiculously amazing, and the atmosphere is tremendous. You must try the crème brûlée.

I am in love with Frazer’s. I have had nearly every item on the menu, and I absolutely LOVE that they have specials with various local items. My favorite is the fish special over the feta mashed potatoes.
The craft cocktail menu is extensive, and there is something for everyone. I really love the soda pop fizzle. It’s sweet, but not too sweet.
Not only do all of the dishes and drinks appeal in taste, but they are also visually appealing.
If you are in the area, give it a try. The price point will also depend on how many items you have. If you go with a date, you each get an appetizer, two cocktails, and two entrees, you will surely spend close to $ 100 with tip. Trust me… this place is worth every penny.

We stopped in here for a quick drink and snack one Sunday afternoon and it’s a super cute establishment. A smaller bar with a few tables surrounding it but the interior décor is unique and fun. The place was not very busy, which I was surprised but we could have just been there at an awkward time. The bartender (I can’t remember his name) was very friendly and helpful and I saw him make some tasty drinks. We split the breakfast sandwich and it was honestly one of the best I have had. It was on a soft, flaky croissant that basically melted in your mouth. I’ll go back just for that! Looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I stopped here after Soulard Mardi Gras. It was on the way and looked interesting. I was very pleased. Extremely courteous wait staff. Elegant and retro décor. Food was very good and a good value for the price.

This bar is the gem of Benton Park. We live so close we can walk here — which is quite dangerous for our livers and our liquor budget. Frazer’s has become our go-​to spot for nightcaps, for double dates, for rendezvous with friends from out of town. The ambiance is dark and sexy, the music is fun and funky, and the vibe is low-​key and boozy.
Terry’s drinks are spot on. Amazing. Delicious. Insert other pleasant adjectives here. Being in the industry myself, there is a deeper level of appreciation of his craft. All of the bar staff are friendly, well-​dressed, attentive, and genuinely kind people. They are the primary reason we love to go there — they truly enhance the experience. They are extremely knowledgeable about the intricacy of the cocktails and are great at making suggestions for the newbies overwhelmed by the extensive menu of magical unicorn elixir concoctions with perfectly witty names. Thank you guys.
We haven’t exactly come here to dine, but I can say with absolute conviction that the bar is everything we want in a bar. With so many watering holes to choose from in Benton Park and Soulard, it speaks volumes that we choose to go here again and again. Cheers!

The best! Cocktails. Cuisine. Comaraderie. Love this place! Been coming here for the past year and I rarely miss a Monday night. Your mouth will water as one of their many beautifully-​described nightly specials is detailed. Order one, but lead off with the chorizo-​stuffed dates and prepare for your tongue to slap your face. Drinks? Terry’s cocktail menu is remarkable so sit at the bar, watch your craft cocktail mastered by local artisans, have a chat with the folks next to you, relax and enjoy yourself. It’s more than food, it’s an experience and one that you’ll want to have again and again.

Our group of 7 made a reservation for 6pm dinner during the week– I’m glad we did since this place appears to fill up. We had a rockstar location along the window. We did not need to take advantage of the bar/​lounge area since we were seated so quickly, but it was beautiful and comfy looking that I want to go back soon to take advantage of it.
Expect for your dinner to take some time. This was not my usually dining experience. I am used to hearing the specials and immediately ordering drinks/​appetizers/​dinner all at once. Will all the coming and going, we probably did not get our first appetizer until about 30 minutes after we were seated. I’m not complaining, I’m just warning you not to come starving and expecting food in 5 minutes. It was more than dinner, it was an experience!
I think our server was the owner (or the head manager) and we really were treated like royalty it felt. I hope they treat everyone with such awesome attention. He started with our drink orders, then listed the appetizers on special (there were so many). He came back minutes later to take our appetizer order. Came back again to list the dinner specials (all details and prices memorized. There were 7 this particular night, but he said their are usually 10 specials. He came back after we had time to decide and then took the dinner order.
My husband and I shared the appetizer of bacon wrapped dates– OMG was that yummy. They are served with a red sauce. There are only 4 pieces to an order, so maybe plan on ordering a second appetizer if you have to share. I ordered the vegan dinner option (even though I am a carnivore) of fried tofu curry vegetable. Fantastic curry flavors, super fresh veggies, well seasoned rice, and maybe 5 squares of tofu. My only complaint was that the tofu wasn’t «crunchy» fried, but more «soft» than I prefer. Still, super delicious and I would order again.
5 star service and 5 star food. I need to come back just to hang out in the lounge area and sit at the bar for some cocktails!

Came here to get drinks with some friends and left with a new spot to hit up whenever we’re all in town. You can either dine in the restaurant or have drinks in the lounge area. The ambiance is really nice and a little above casual. I wouldn’t say you necessarily need to dress up, but I also wouldn’t suggest coming in sweats or you might get a few stares.
When my group sat down we were a little confused whether or not we were supposed to order at the bar or if a server would come by. I ended up going to the bar to order, which was a good idea cause I got to see them make my cocktail. I ordered the Soda Pop Fizzle, which is part of their Summer Cocktails list, and it was delicious. I couldn’t even comprehend what the bartender was doing because it looked like a pretty complex drink. Nonetheless, it was a good choice in drink and I would recommend anyone to check this place out.

I used to be their biggest fan, but the restaurant has changed and lately, the owner has been making poor decisions. I planned and confirmed my annual holiday party at Frazer’s and he canceled it without good cause after all of the invitations went out. Unprofessional and dumb considering that a large number of my guests were regulars at Frazer’s. I was a regular too, but the prices have gone up, they have taken some of my favorite dishes and drinks off of the menu and now the owner is showing his true colors. In general, the vibe has changed. So sad:(

Great place! Was passing through St Louis for work and found this place with Unilocal.Frazer himself came out to greet my dog and I. Phil (bartender) was my server and makes AMAZING drinks (Apple Brandy Mule! mmm). I ordered the zucchini rolls, goat cheese salad with Mahi, and maple bacon ice cream. All yummy! Will definitely be back when I come through town again :)

Great dining experience at Frazers. I would give 4.5 stars if I could. Fun atmosphere for drinks or dinner, casual or dressy. Seems like the perfect spot to get dinner or drinks with friends. They have a nice patio and street parking with plenty of room. If you know where Benton Park Café is, it’s right down the street.
We decided to go all out and try lots of dishes. Started with the the zucchini rolls, New Orleans shrimp and chorizo stuffed, bacon wrapped dates. The zucchini was delicious especially with the splash of lemon on the side. It was fresh and had great flavor. The shrimp had great flavor and spice. There are five shrimp on a piece of toasted bread soaked in delicious juice. The shrimp were dry and not served in sauce, but it doesn’t need any. The dates were great but I thought the tomato sauce served overtop and in the dish took away from the bacon and chorizo flavor. It was a bit overpowering and thought it would be even better served on the side.
Onto the main course. Based on our waiters recommendation we had the sweet potato enchiladas and asparagus pasta. We wanted to go with something different. We both thoroughly enjoyed the entrees. The asparagus in the pasta was cooked perfectly and the combo of the mushrooms/​sauce with the bow tie pasta was wonderful. The sweet potato enchiladas were something I would typically not order, but glad we did. It was fresh and flavorful without the use of butter, cream, etc. Everything here tasted fresh and light, not heavy. The portion sizes were perfect; not too much to keep you from ordering dessert and not too tiny like you find in some upscale restaurants.
Dessert was bread pudding in a whiskey sauce. I’ve tried tons of bread pudding and this wasn’t a favorite only due to personal preference. It was very cake-​like and dry rather than mushy and pudding style. Sauce was great and it was good, just not a favorite.
They have a great wine list, can’t wait to come back with some friends for a fun night!

It is a great place to do brunch, get drinks or get dinner. Frazers has a great selection of beer & wines and excellent entrees that make the wines even better. The breakfast cocktails here are a pretty good excuse to get drinking before noon. My favorite thing to get here is sweet potato enchiladas. they are so good I reverse engineered them and make them at home too. Sweet potato enchiladas are served with red cabbage slaw, cilantro rice and black beans and it calls for a clean plate.

Frazer’s is a must-​do for all St. Louisians who know a thing or two about dining out.
Located on the west end of Soulard Neighborhood; it’s a quaint little hideaway.
Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is an upscale experience people. Dress accordingly. Well, I may be exaggerating a bit but you should definitely put on something nice (I wore fitted jeans and heels). The bar area is pretty «happening» and the décor really sets the tone for a great time. The dining area is intimate along with a private «velvet rope» type area for groups who don’t necessarily want common folk intruding their space.
My server was well versed in the menu and recommended the Cioppino after I advised him I was a light eater. It was the perfect main course for me’ loaded with delicious seafood. I started with the goat cheese salad… also amazingly delish! The finale was the chocolate torte… there was no better way to end my Frazer’s experience. I was pleased beyond words.
I’ll be back!

Got us in for 8 on a Friday night.
Filled us right up, couldn’t take another bite.
Halibut special? Yes, I’ll take that!
Great wait service– I tip my hat.
Cioppino– a stew filled with yummy fish.
All was good, but that was the best dish.
Plus, feta mash, red beans and rice,
And the rosé before tasted oh so nice.

We stopped for an appetizer and a last drink of the day. I ordered a nice Moscato and my friend a dry red. We ordered the cheese tray, Very nicely presented, two fruits, 4 cheeses and VERY crisp pita chips. The cheeses were not explained to us, so we just jumped in and started sampling. This place a very warm and enjoyable atmosphere.
