Bemo's, Saint Charles

There's an inherent coziness to Bemo's, which formerly thrived as Sherlock's Cottleville. Now under new management, the exposed brick walls, dark wood accents, and a stone fireplace still give the dining room its signature warmth. Even the menu feels homey, with a mix of burgers, appetizers, and entrees. Behind the bar, a built-in wine rack showcases the restaurant's worldly selection of vinos and a message in a bottle waiting to be sent to sea. On Thursday nights, the restaurant's bar hosts live music.
