“What a fabulous restaurant, we dined here last night... drinks are exquisite, food is divine... We had a salad that was out of this world with Goats Cheese followed by Bangers and Mash for him and Salmon No 1 for me... The rolls and lavender butter were very tasty... the female server was full of personality and smiles, such a sweetie. We highly recommend this great restaurant.”

“We visited The Graceful Ordinary in downtown St. Charles, IL, on a warm late September day. We had a wonderful experience at Graceful Ordinary, one that's hard to match outside of Chicago. From its comfortable yet elegant design to the unique menu, every detail was carefully considered. The food was delicious and thoughtfully presented, and the service was excellent. We were fortunate to visit on a very warm day towards the end of September. We sat on the fully screened-in veranda and enjoyed the scenery in comfort. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a unique, elevated dining experience; no matter where you're traveling from, it's worth the trip.”

“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for.

We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!”

She’s very friendly and a great fit for the restaurant. When I was seated for dinner Tyler was my server. Excellent service and very knowledgeable of the menu. Kudos to the kitchen staff - my appetizer and meal were not only brought to my table immediately, but tasted wonderful. It was a busy Mother’s Day dinner service, but everything seemed to run very smoothly. As I watched the rest of the staff, everyone seemed friendly and attentive to the diners.

“This is the best chipotle I’ve had in probably 10+ years. I’ve been chasing that classic chipotle taste and every single chipotle I go to falls short but this was the best bowl I’ve had from a chipotle probably since I worked at Chipotle. Chicken was perfect, rice wasn’t hard, cilantro was cut how it should be cut, no gristle, portions were awesome. This will be the only chipotle I’ll be going to anymore.”
