The Experience

The most iconic picnic spot in St. Louis

Art Hill in Forest Park is one of the most beautiful settings in the Midwest — the sweeping green lawn, the St. Louis Art Museum above, the Grand Basin below. It's where St. Louis comes to breathe. Now it's where you come for lunch.

We set everything up before you arrive. A fully stocked picnic basket. A blanket. Three courses sourced from some of the best local restaurants in the CWE and Grove neighborhoods. All you have to do is show up, sit down, and enjoy two hours of uninterrupted romance.

Every booking includes a $5 donation to Forest Park Forever — because the park deserves to stay this beautiful.
