In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

    I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joline during my visit, and I have to say, she is hands down the best server I’ve ever encountered! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that set the tone for an amazing experience. Joline was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in at just the right moments. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive—she recommended a dish I wouldn’t have chosen on my own, and it turned out to be my new favorite! What stood out most was her genuine care for her customers. She made us feel like VIPs, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but with Joline, it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Joline as your server, you’re in for a treat. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a big part of that is because of her outstanding service.

    Oscar our server was fantastic. He gave us amazing recommendations when we were torn between items, he had a lot of great energy and we had a great dining experience because of him. Will definitely ask for him to be our server again the next time we come in!

    I wish I was allowed to give La ZaZa Trattoria 10 stars because this place is fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly, great service and reasonable prices for what you get. The Wagyu Steak special was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten, (cooked perfectly to order) and I’ve dined at some of the finest steakhouses in the country. If I lived in the area, I’d be here every night!! Awesome restaurant!
