Aya Sofia Restaurant

I will preface with Food was very good. The service was fair. They were all nice but the boy bussing the table would take away food far too quickly when we were still eating it. He wouldn’t ask and he did it several times. He was very nice, but determined to clean that table! Paying was another struggle. They do not split a check more than 2 ways. They offered to split 3 ways, but it was overly complicated. Good food, fair service, but they were nice. We had one person with a severe dairy allergy and one with gluten intolerance (not preference). They tried to accommodate but were not well informed of allergies.

Found Aya Sofia in 2018 and went there for our first Valentine's Day with my then-girlfriend-now-wife. Been going for special occasions ever since, hands down one of my Top 3 favorite restaurants in the St. Louis metro area. Never had anything that wasn't absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Sigara Boregi for a starter and and Manti for a main. Lamb Shank is one of the best I've ever had and only $30 for a portion that could feed two people. And almost the whole menu is available gluten-free, just as an aside.
