Deb, An absolutely don't miss is Remy's Kitchen and Wine Bar,
http://www.remyskitchen.com, which happens to be in Clayton! The Central West End/Maryland Plaza area(behind the Chase Park) is full of great restaurants--Bar Italia is one of our favorites. Both of the Schlafly locations (one is very close to Clayton and the other closer downtown) are fun to visit and we've had very good food. If you have time to browse, Straub's Market is a wonderful place for foodies--think Burger's on acid
! They actually have several locations. We've not had memorable experiences on The Hill but we may not have gone to the right places??? So envious
--have a great trip!!!
