Customer Reviews
"I want you and all your employees at Kemoll's to know what a very special evening you provided for our [event]. Our guests included family.but the most were from out of town and were at Kemoll's for the first time. The food was fantastic but more than that was the service of your wait staff, and how very accommodating they were to our party. We arrived about an hour late but we never felt rushed to sit down. Your people who took care of us were so very nice, polite, and professional but fun, and handled everything so nicely."
"Everyone was very impressed not only with the food, but for the excellent personal service you provided."
"I was impressed from start to finish. I know you have not only kept 'old' customers pleased, but have gained new customers that I know will revisit Kemoll's when they are in St. Louis again."
