History
Clarence and Margaret Ziegler founded Bentley's Restaurant & Pub in St. Louis more than three decades ago, and then opened the Lake area restaurant at 3100 Bagnell Dam Blvd, Lake Ozark, MO 65049 in 1974. Current owner Bill Ziegler said his parents were in search of a name for their original restaurant on Manchester Street in Des Peres near St. Louis. They happened to see a Bentley car and were attracted to the name. Ultimately, the quality of the British automobile has been reflected in the dedication to quality and consistency at the restaurant. Restaurants have been in the Ziegler bloodline since the 1960's. Bill's parents were in the business with friends before heading out on their own. Eventually, they opened a second Bentley's on Olive Street in Olivette, another St. Louis suburb. Bentley's is open Monday through Saturday at 5 p.m. Reservations are encouraged, but not required. The restaurant is closed in January. Dress is Casual.
