New American Restaurants near Alton, IL

“I love this place. We frequent here because of the great drinks and food!“

“Wonderful food, beautiful interior, great atmosphere and friendly and great service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“What a great experience. Our server was so great. And the food...... We started off with potstickers and they were spot on. The Caesar salad was very good (but it was a Caesar salad, so not too hard to get right). My tuna was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing seasoning. My wife was crazy about her Grilled Chicken Pasta. There was too much for her to eat, so we took it home and out son raved about how good it was. The warm gooey butter cake for dessert was sinful. We each had a couple adult drinks and they were excellent and pretty potent, definately not watered down. It was quiet and the lighting was, what I would call classy. Not bright, but not dark. We will 100% be coming back.“

“VEGAN specials!!!! I’ve had the vegan specials twice at this incredible establishment. This past week’s Ban Mi Sandwhich was to die for! I went in for brownies but decided to get it as well. Now I just wish I would have bought more! Thanks again for having options for us💗“

“Staff is very friendly. Live music was great! Enjoyed ourselves!! Was my review 8 years ago... now. Tbh in 2026. I never hear people getting excited half the machines are updated with new games but the line play never wins and the sound doesnt work on a lot of machines. You have to hope that the bonus will even pay back what you've put in the machine. Overall the play experience is not what it was 8 years ago.“

“We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere can’t wait to come back!!! My husband had the salmon, rich and broccoli this was cooked to perfection! I had the fish tacos they were so good. Our desert was carrot cake & raspberry lemon cake they melted in our mouths. This restaurant gets 10 stars we absolutely love it!!!“

“Great service and great food was pleasantly surprised“

“Cone for lunch specials quite often. Good food and drinks. Staff is always friendly. You can sit at the bar or at a table. Decor could use updating, but they're working on improving that. Great place.“
