The Eye Bar - Central West End

Called at 3 on a Sunday after stepping on my wife’s eyeglasses. Was told to bring them in and if they could fix them in house there would be no charge. Aaron immediately took them and got to work. Absolutely felt taken care of here! The decor was awesome and the vibe of the whole experience was amazing. Looking at changing my family’s optical shop.

I had an excellent experience at Black Optical from start to finish. A special thank you to Aaron, who was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about eyewear. He took the time to walk me through different options, answered every question in detail, and helped me find the perfect pair that truly fits both my style and comfort. What I appreciated most was that I never felt pressured at any point — Aaron made the whole experience feel personal and thoughtful, which is something you rarely find nowadays. Even after the purchase, he was still very helpful in making sure everything fit properly and that I was completely happy with the frame. You can tell the team at Black Optical really cares about quality, craftsmanship, and customer experience. If you are serious about good eyewear and appreciate great service, I highly recommend this place. Thanks again Aaron — truly one of the best retail experiences I’ve had.

I had an excellent experience at Black Optical in St. Louis. Their selection of luxury eyewear and sunglasses is truly outstanding, and the level of professionalism and customer service exceeded my expectations. The staff were patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to help me find frames that matched both my style and comfort needs. I especially appreciated their attention to detail with lens quality, anti-reflective coatings, and frame fitting adjustments. The boutique itself is beautiful, upscale, and carries some of the finest eyewear brands available. You can truly feel the difference in quality and personalized care compared to ordinary optical stores. I highly recommend Black Optical to anyone looking for premium eyewear, designer sunglasses, and exceptional customer service in St. Louis.

I recently purchased a pair of JMM Duke Gonzo sunglasses from Black Optical online, and I have to say the experience was exceptional. Natalie took care of my order and she was unbelievably kind, patient, and attentive with all my requests. It honestly felt like I was talking to a friend rather than customer service. She made the whole process smooth, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. Her professionalism combined with her warm attitude truly sets Black Optical apart. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and even happier with the support I received. Thank you, Natalie, for going above and beyond. You made this experience special!

Aaron and Dr. Boules at Black Optical were wonderful. A beautiful location with hospitality and kindness. I am new to this location but will definitely be recommending them to friends and family. I was seen the same day I made the appointment and was treated like a long time client. I tried multiple pairs and was never rushed or pressured to pick anything (when in reality I wanted them all) from Aaron who made my check in and out very smoothly. Dr. Boules explained so much about the eye and answered all the questions I had. I cannot wait to pick up my first of many pairs of glasses!
