Have been to Cyrano's maybe 10 times over the years, my nephew used to work there for a while, plus it is one of the few places that stays open late on weekends and they have a fireplace which I Iove sitting by. They've always been known for their desserts which are excellent overall. However, the other night I elected to have 2 scoops of ice cream - chocolate and cinnamin - chocolate was nearly tasteless. But the BLT sandwich was superb as was the very authentic French Onion Soup. Their menu seems to have changed since I wa... read more

Do not waste your time! – I was very excited to go to Cyrano's last night since I had heard that it was a place I had to visit. After wasting my money there, I can't imagine why ANYONE would waste their time with that restaurant. Our waitress was inattentive and bordering on rude. The food (roast beef sandwich and fries) was mediocre and pricey considering the tiny portions. The orange crepes were gross, but the bread pudding was very good. I generally don't eat a lot, but I left hungry and had to make something else to eat ... read more

A little pricey but neat place - 'eclectic' – Had a mid-afternoon lunch about 1.5 months ago. I would definitely go back. Was a little slow on service but our food was good. It really does have potential to be much more.

I Keep Hoping – I've eaten at Cyrano's many times. Every time I return I hope that they might have gotten just a bit more enthusiastic about their clientele. The place has such potential. In fact I met my husband at Cyranos so what could be more special than returning to Cyranos to eat our wedding dinner? We even told the help at Cyranos the significance of our dinning there that evening. You would have thought they would have at least gotten a bit joyful or attentive considering the significance of the day for us...but nope... read more

So-so, yet pricey food; Nice dessert – You know there's a problem when your dessert portion is as big as your main entree. I had the steak and it was barely the size of a hamburger patty. My wife had the pork tenderloin, and we shared the pan-seared tuna appetizer. Now, she's the type who usually gets full after only a few bites, yet both of us were sitting there hungry after these three dishes, when we should be satisfied and savoring the taste. Their signature dessert, flambees prepared tableside, was all hype and too expe... read more

Not what I expected... – I had a nice time here. The atmosphere is fun. There is no smoking, so I enjoyed that. The main focus of this place is on the desserts. Our meals were small, although not inexpensive and I think they were good quality. Our dessert was big (they all come out with this mass of whip cream on top), but I'd prefer something smaller that was better tasting. It was just a bunch of ice cream with whip cream (out of a can). Plus my wine had cork all in it, and it took us forever to get the waitress' attention... read more

Go for dessert – While the small bites of food I had were tasty, this place should really be portrayed as a dessert place only. The only reason my family and I have ever gone to Cyrano's in its old location before it closed and now in its new location is for the humongous chocolate clepatras. These are total sensory indulgences of chocolate and ice cream. A St. Louis Must.

Cyrano's a big disappointment – I was excited to visit the new location of Cyrano's, but quickly disappointed. Our waiter was arrogant and rude, as were his trainee and another waiter who was assisting him. They stood around our table making rude comments that they thought were funny when we didn't need them, and when we needed service they were nowhere to be found. The soda was flat, the food was average and the portions small. The saving grace of the experience was our ever-present water server who graciously filled our gl... read more

Dates, the kids, your mother; everyone loves this charming Webster Groves coffeehouse and cafe. – The Scene How does one convert a massive sporting-goods store into an intimate dining destination? With pink--lots of pink. Cyrano's, which delighted St. Louisans with its indulgent desserts for nearly four decades, has reopened after a seven-year hiatus in the old Alpine Shop space. The Barbie-esque paint job, cozy furniture and functioning fireplace make for an inviting coffee shop and restaurant. The Food The menu features in... read more
