Chef Craft is a pioneer for the Midwest dining scene and the mastermind behind Taste by Niche, Brasserie by Niche, Pastaria, brassWELL, Pastaria Deli & Wine, and Cinder House at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, whose flavors will be featured during An Iconic Evening. Proceeds from this ticketed event support Gateway Arch Park Foundation’s mission to preserve the iconic Gateway Arch National Park for today, for tomorrow, for good.

An Iconic Evening begins with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres on the Visitor Center’s mezzanine, which features an expansive terrazzo floor map of North America’s great rivers and historic westward trails. Before dinner, guests can take the Tram Ride to the Top of the Arch and experience unparalleled illuminated views of downtown St. Louis at night. Dinner will be served in the Tram Lobby, which features a mid-century modern design and unique overhead lighting as well as the keystone exhibit—a replica of the final section placed in the Gateway Arch that provides an accessible view from the top experience for all.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Craft back to the Gateway Arch for An Iconic Evening celebrating one of America’s most treasured national parks,” said Ryan McClure, executive director of Gateway Arch Park Foundation. “Attendees will be treated to a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience in a one-of-a-kind venue with one of St. Louis’ most admired culinary innovators—all while supporting our mission to ensure the Arch is vital and welcoming for future generations.”
