Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in St. Charles

We enjoyed our dinner at Cooper’s Hawk. It was good food, a very broad selection of choices for all eating types (vegetarian, steak, lite etc.). The wine was good and being able to reserve a table with Open Table made our experience that much more possible, if not easier. Unfortunately, my elderly parents are frail and hard of hearing. With a table of 6 there was no way on earth we could hear eachother in conversation or even the server when ordering. If you are looking for a cozy, comfortable setting this is not the place to go (unless there are only 2 of you sitting close together at a table). Not the atmosphere I was hoping for, but food was good and so was the wine.

Reservation was for 6PM, we arriv snob time and were seated right away. Orders Minestrone soup (very good), everyone's meals were delivered hot and delicious. April or server was on top of her game. The coffee cake dessert was one of the better desserts I've had in any restaurant highly recommended it.

Dined here before. A great spot for a meal and a cocktail before catching a show at the Arcada, it's only a block walk away.

Manager and staff were great. Server and service was excellent. Food was very good. Had Salmon was really good. Filet and gnocchi. The apps charcuterie board and shrimp cocktail were great. Worth it especially if you are headed to a show or seeing the live music at the club.

I’ve dined here several times. Food, drinks and service are always great!
