“we had a wonderful dinner last night! my husband is British and my actor sons were in town from LA filming a movie in Downers Grove, so we decided to give Balmoral a try. And what a wonderful family dinner we had. The menu not only describes the food, there were historical stories added which made it even more charming. From the bone china, the murals and of course the food-- it was perfect. we will be back!”
“The bar manager was amazing and made sure our experience was great. The Patty Melt was delicious and the Expresso Martini was the best. Thank God we chose to sit at the bar. Would go back again and recommend this place.”
“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. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!”
“Really great food and they are very fast! Sat with a group of 8 and we were able to quickly enjoy our meal within 30 minutes. We had a time schedule, and it ended up working Perfectly.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food here is absolutely delicious and the cocktails are on point; they make guacamole table side and it's highly recommended. The decor is fine, nothing special, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican food at a decent price in Saint Charles or the surrounding area, this is the place to go.”
“Another great meal at moto imōto. I stopped in to have a drink before dinner with friends and Kaylee was our delightful bartender. She was knowledgeable and very attentive. 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. Moto imōto is one of my favorite restaurants in town and I will continue to come back again and again.”

“Chef Abdul and his family run an amazing business! You can really taste the love and passion they put into every dish. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and served with a smile. It’s more than just a meal, it feels like you’re part of their family. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful family business.”
“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.”

“I find it a rare occurrence to walk into an establishment for the first time and feel so comfortable and welcomed that you just want to stay. That was our experience today. The bartenders were friendly and engaging in a way that felt like they were neighbors. And the patrons were nice and talkative. And the beer was good. They're doing it in all the right ways, it seems. It's a nice place to escape to from the busy town center. Highly recommend a visit!”
“First and foremost, the customer service from employees and especially Christian was superb! Your homemade sauces are the best I have had in a long time and everyone needs to know about this place! I went there today just to get some ranch dressing because it is on point and what ranch at it's best tastes like. Clean establishment, comfortable, simple and amazing food with kind and compassionate employees. Props to you all and I hope everyone in St.Charles trys your restaurant. This should not be left a secret... GO THERE AND TRY IT YOURSELF! THEY GOT IT GOING ON! Thank you and GOD BLESS”
“Absolutely love Ton Ichi. Out of all the places that serve tonkatsu ramen in the area, this is my favorite and one of the closest to what can be found in Japan. Every time I eat here, the taste brings me back to the streets of Tokyo and Osaka. The service is always warm and friendly. Tha k you for serving our community with such wonderful food.”

“We hosted a party at The Lewis last night and were so impressed by how seamless and easy the entire planning process was. The staff communicated clearly every step of the way, which made everything stress-free. Dominic was our server for the evening, and he was absolutely wonderful—attentive, on top of drinks and water, and he brought such a great personality to the night. He played a big part in making the event run so smoothly. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend hosting your next party here!”
“McNallys recently hosted my intimate wedding and reception. Tom was super helpful and generous with his time helping us create the vision for our wedding. The space was beautiful and the food amazing. I highly recommend coming here for dinner but also larger gathering as well. He truly made us feel like family.”
“We love CH have eaten there so many times. We always order the Prime Rib sandwiches. This is the first time 7/23/25 the Prime Rib meat was tough? Please tell us you will start using the original Prime Rib meat in the future? Thanks you Mr. And Mrs. L from South Elgin IL PS Our Server Kari she was outstanding.”
“First time to this new location in St. Charles. Atmosphere is great. Food was fantastic. Angelique was our waitress and she was awesome. The whole staff was very attentive. Angelique made sure everything was to our satisfaction. We only had issues with the drinks. They couldn’t figure out how to make a Bees Knees and got the Moscow Mule mixed up with an Elderflower cocktail but other than that it was great and will be back.”
“Alter Brewing in St. Charles completely knocked it out of the park for our night out! From the second we walked in with our reservation and were seated at a fantastic high chair table, the whole experience was seamless. The atmosphere has such an energetic, welcoming vibe—the perfect backdrop for hanging out and catching up with friends.
The food was flat-out amazing. I ordered the Alter Burger with a few specific alterations, and the kitchen nailed every single detail; it came out cooked and customized to absolute perfection.
What truly elevated the entire evening, though, was our waiter. His service was nothing short of exceptional—incredibly attentive, warm, and helpful without ever hovering. He handled my burger request with total care. Outstanding food, vibrant ambiance, and genuinely top-tier hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!”
“Met friends for dinner on a Monday evening. Our server (John) was amazing. He had answers for our many questions, was prompt, courteous and fun to chat with. After we'd finished our meal, we found out it was his first day as a server - what!? You would have though he'd been doing this for years - he was ECXCELLENT! Thank you John for making our visit so wonderful. The friends I met there for dinner are really fun and we don't get to see each other very often. That dinner was not only super delicious, but our server John was at the top of his game, made the occasion all the better. We couldn't have been more impressed! Thank you for making our get together for dinner so lovely. One more thing...keep that never ending pasta bowl coming. That promo is the BEST thing Olive Garden does each year!!”
“We had a great experience hosting our daughters’ party at Eden Events! The venue is absolutely beautiful, especially with its location right on the river. It creates such a gorgeous and unique setting for a celebration, and we truly couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.
The food was definitely one of the highlights of the entire event. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night raving about how delicious everything was! Chef and owner Omar did an incredible job—not only was the food amazing, but you can tell how much care and attention he puts into every detail and into making sure his guests have a wonderful experience.
Thank you to the entire Eden Events team for making our celebration so special and memorable. We couldn’t recommend Eden Events enough. We would absolutely host another event here!”

It’s the kind of spot that completely hits the spot when you're craving authentic, delicious Mexican food. The seasoning was spot-on, and the textures were just right. I will definitely be coming back for more soon!”

“Carlos Carberra was our amazing server! He was so kind, fast and thorough. Our food was hot and delicious, on a night he was super busy. He had some wonderful, kind and wise words on a night that was extra tough for me. How nice to have great service from someone who genuinely cares about others! Thank you Carlos and Wok!”
“Great food, fast service, and a friendly atmosphere!
I recently had an order that included cold fries, but what really impressed me was how the manager handled the situation. He personally went out of his way to call me and make things right. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days!
Mistakes happen, but it's how a business responds that truly makes the difference. The manager went above and beyond, and I genuinely appreciate the effort.
Great job, Portillo's St. Charles! You've earned my five-star review. Keep up the outstanding work!”

“Well… I guess we live here now. 😂❤ We went to The Office and apparently accidentally became new regulars and we’re absolutely okay with that. The vibe is fun, the people are great, and the wood-fired pizza?! 🤌🔥 SO GOOD. Crispy, cheesy perfection and already reason enough to keep coming back, especially when Payton is on pizza station!
It’s one of those places where you walk in for “a drink and maybe some food” and suddenly you’ve found your new neighborhood spot. 😂 Great atmosphere, delicious pizza, good drinks, and even better vibes. The outside bar is our favorite spot to be. Liza, payton & dessi are absolute machines! Glass always full over here! The Office officially has us clocking in voluntarily. 🍕🍻❤”
