When dining out, you can't go wrong with a delicious dinner and an incredible view, and thankfully there are plenty of restaurants that have a breathtaking atmosphere, eye-catching decor and one-of-a-kind views with an equally exquisite menu to match that combine for a memorable dining experience.
Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most beautiful restaurant" in every state, from "sleek and modern" lounges in towering skyscrapers to "cozy lodges" offering hidden warmth in mountain resorts.
So which Missouri restaurant is considered the most stunning in the state?
Osage Restaurant
This sky-high Ridgedale establishment offers "rustically elegant décor" and gorgeous views of the Ozarks alongside its stellar menu offerings. Osage Restaurant, which has a 4.3 star rating on Google and more than 1,600 reviews, is located in Big Cedar Lodge at 150 Top of the Rock Road.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this noteworthy spot:
"Part of Big Cedar Lodge's Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Preserve, Osage Restaurant has a breathtaking setting on a bluff overlooking the mountains and Table Rock Lake, plus rustically elegant décor. Chunky wooden tables surround a cylindrical fireplace, which forms the glowing heart of the circular room, while artwork decorates the walls. Huge windows bring the outside in, with the views especially spectacular at sunset. The chef's signature lobster mac 'n' cheese is a must-try."
