When you step into the Cheshire Hotel in St. Louis, you'll feel as if you've been transported to the United Kingdom. And you may never want to leave.

80 years ago, the Cheshire Hotel started as a modest hamburger joint. Over time, it has evolved into one of Missouri's most luxurious boutique hotels.

Throughout the hotel, you'll notice a certain theme...a very British theme.

In fact, all 108 guest rooms are named after a British author.

Each room comes with the book from the author that the room is named after.

Fancy a drink? Then head over to The Fox and Hound. The pub is a recreation of an English home where a host would invite guests over for a drink before going off to hunt.

Relax in a poolside cabana at the gorgeous terrace. While you're there, enjoy a cocktail or two from Fox and Hound.

The Panoramic-View Restaurant at the Best Hotel in Branson, Missouri Is a Must-Visit

Chateau on the Lake is an incredible hotel in Branson that happens to have the best restaurant with a view in Missouri, offering stunning lakeside views.

When it comes to bucket-list destinations for me, they don't get any more exciting than Branson. This small-town Missouri getaway is really the best of all possible worlds - it combines the best of a bustling tourist town, a small-town full of charm, and a nature-filled rustic getaway into one package, and it's all centered around what might be the best hotel in Missouri - Chateau on the Lake, a massive resort on the banks of the massive, winding Table Rock. So it's no surprise that in addition to everything else it has going for it, Chateau on the Lake is home to the best restaurant with a view in Missouri. Chateau Grille is a delicious surprise where the view out the windows is just as big a draw as the food.

Table Rock is one of the most stunning views in Missouri, and there is no shortage of hotels on its perimeter - but none quite have the splendor of Chateau on the Lake, a massive resort and conference center offering top-of-the-line accommodations and dining.

At the heart of this reputation for excellence is the Chateau Grille, the resort's premiere fine dining restaurant. While the seasonal menu is highly acclaimed, the restaurant is most famous for its panoramic views of the lake outside.

While the menu does lean towards classic midwestern fare with an emphasis on well-prepared proteins, we were blown away to see how many local and seasonal touches make their way into the menu. It's no surprise many of the diners are regulars.

The desserts are just as worthy of your attention - perfectly rich and indulgent, but with an extra touch of sophistication perfect for a restaurant of this style.

If the weather allows, there is no better way to enjoy a meal at Chateau Grille than on the patio, taking in the fresh lake air while you dig into some of Branson's finest cuisine. This unique restaurant makes a perfect dining experience for a special night out or a grand sendoff to a Branson vacation.
