SauceMagazine.com Disclaimer and Posting Guidelines

If your comments contain the following:

* Claims of food poisoning
* Insect sightings
* Direct comparison to other restaurants
* Use of individual names to point out a bad server, bad manager, etc.

they will be edited and that part of your comment will be deleted.

Here's why:

* Unless you have been to the hospital, food poisoning can't be verified.
* Bug sightings are also unverifiable. You may have seen a bug, but claims like this can easily be made by people trying to hurt a restaurant's business. Unless we know for sure that a claim is 100 percent true, we will not post this information.
* It's just not fair to say that restaurant X isn't as good as restaurant Y. If you're commenting on restaurant X, talk about your experience there alone. We will not post a direct comparison.
* There's no need to get personal.

Please note that all comments are read by SauceMagazine.com staff before posting, so posting is not immediate. Also note that claims of food poisoning or illness resulting from dining at a restaurant will not be posted as they cannot be verified as true.

We created the SauceMagazine.com public comment forum as a place for registered Sauce users to post their opinions and comments about St. Louis metro area restaurants.

To provide maximum benefit for our visitors, and to ensure that text and subject searches contain useful public opinion, we restrict the discussion to appropriately related comments. The focus here is restaurant end user opinions with regard to food, ambiance, service and restaurant-related subject matter.

In addition, we request, as we always have, that your posts be civil in tone. It is absolutely fine to disagree with another poster; we only ask that you do so with out resorting to rudeness. We also require that posts be in your own words. No cutting and pasting of other people's material, copyrighted or otherwise. Representing yourself as another visitor is strictly prohibited. Also, please do not advertise or include commercial promotion or profanity in your posts. (As you type your comments, please keep in mind that we actually aren't all adults here: children too are part of the SauceMagazine.com community.)

Though it is our general policy to post all messages that follow these rules, we reserve the right to delete, edit, or remove any registered user for any post, for any reason, at any time.

Recently had dinner at Niche on a Saturday night. Overall, a very good experience. I built my own four course meal that was highligted by the foie gras and pineapple dish and the Mathew's amazing desserts. The carrot cake dessert was especially good. Great service and wine. Niche is still performing at a high level and I look forward to returning.

We did the 5 course chef tasting menu with wine pairing and it was phenomenal. The scallops were done in the most delicious and original way, salad, lamb,etc...all done perfectly. Each wine pairing was also generous enough and well matched. We had read prior reviews of small portions and too expensive, and while certainly not cheap, we left feeling perfectly full. In addition, our server was helpful, attentive and answered our many questions about the food (my sister fancies herself a bit of a foodie). Lastly,

The food was really good. I had the Greek yogurt pudding for dessert and I usually don't like yogurt desserts but this one was amazing! Enjoyed the ambiance and the service...only thing that spoiled the evening was the hostess, who was a bit rude. True, it was a busy Saturday night and we did sit at our table for a long time, but she could have been more discreet with the nasty looks she kept giving us.

After hearing such wonderful acclaim, my boyfriend and I were extremely excited to try Niche. Chef's creativeness and preparation of the ingredients were great. My problem is the saltiness of almost every dish. The pork cheeks with the peaches were prepared fabulously but the reduction that accompanied it was so very overwhelming with the salt. The olive tapenade with my boyfriend's tagliatelle was so harsh and briny, it hurt the back of my throat to eat. Our entrees again way too salty.
