St. Louis is famous as the “Gateway to the West,” and the operators, Michael Vienhage and John Burke, want to make their restaurant — their second location in St. Louis — the local gateway to great food and drink. Each Mellow Mushroom is unique in its design and décor and the Chesterfield location reflects a modern take on a mid-century design style.
The cornerstone of the Mellow Mushroom menu is stone-baked pizza featuring a crust made from five simple ingredients, including water from Appalachian mountain springs. Other menu highlights are freshly made salads, munchies, burgers, handcrafted cocktails, and a wide selection of beers, many of them local.
Highlights of the Mellow Mushroom Chesterfield location design include:
- A giant “LOVE” art installation at the entrance to the restaurant
- The waiting area is anchored by an art installation featuring a colorful mushroom painting surrounded by butterflies fabricated from vinyl records
- Oversized stylized mushroom columns fill the dining area
The store wouldn’t be complete without reference to the music from the area, specifically the blues. The restaurant features a unique table designed as an oversized vinyl record that honors St. Louis native and legendary musician Miles Davis.
While many Mellow Mellow locations around the country have separate event rooms, this is the first branded as “Club Mellow.” This private dining room seats 34 guests.
