Stone Soup Cottage is a small cottage located in Cottleville, Mo.. Chef Carl McConnell and his wife, Nancy run this quante restaurant as if you are in their home having a dinner. Dinner is served Thursday - Saturday nights for 6:30pm seatings. There is a 4 or 6 course option along w/ 4 flight wine pairing. The 4 course Chefs tasting menu is $49.95 and the 6 course is $69.95. But you would definitly miss out if you did not just do the 6 courses! The 4 Flight Wine Pairing is available for $35. Brunch is also available on Sundays. Keep in mind though that they only have 24 seats so reservations book early!

Overall the meal was very good. But the menu always changes to what is fresh or available. It would be a terrific place to go if you were to reserve all 24 seats. I felt bad for the couples that were trying to have a romantic evening w/ our large group. Chef and Nancy were great and really accomodating to everyone.
