Patrick Connolly is an asset to the new Richmond Heights restaurant, according to RFT's Ian Froeb.
When Cheshire Inn re-launched, it debuted four different restaurant concepts: The Market (deli), Fox & Hounds (tavern), The Restaurant at The Cheshire (traditional dining) and Basso (pub-style food). Despite its location in the basement, Basso has a secret weapon--James Beard award winner Patrick Connolly. Basso "strikes me as having greater potential than the Restaurant at the Cheshire's play-it-safe upscale approach," RFT's Ian Froeb writes. Read his full review of Basso on RFT.

The storm came through St. Louis late Sunday night.
A Richmond Heights City Council member said he's thankful that people were safe during a powerful storm that rolled through St. Louis on Sunday night. We've "got to be thankful that nobody was injured," District 2 Councilman Jim Thomson said. He said he hadn't received feedback about the storm from his constituents as of early Monday afternoon. His neighborhood, located south of Highway 40, had downed trash cans and limbs but didn't appear to have received the brunt of the storm. The western portion of Richmond Heights, which borders Brentwood, appears to have escaped the worst of the storm with "just a few branches here and there," District 4 Councilwoman Connie Williams said. "Overall, we were real fortunate," Williams said. She hadn't …
