Overview
When it comes to running a restaurant, Alec Schingel doesn't believe in leaving anything to chance. His hands-on approach epitomizes all that he's learned at top kitchens worldwide - that every detail, from the way guests are welcomed, to the warmth of the bread that is served, the feel of the wine glass in hand, the seasoning of the entree, the sauciness of the appetizer, the surprise of a sweet treat with the check, and even the perfectly timed refill of your water, truly matters and needs to be attended to. The ultimate host/chef and diligent owner, he works tirelessly to ensure that the food is delicious and consistent, and that the service is warm and inviting, so that Robin Restaurant, his first solo venture, makes a lasting impression on the St. Louis community and beyond.
