    The space is small and intimate with the most perfect mood lighting. It is the perfect spot for a date night. They also had tables with fire pits and personal blankets set up outside for cozying up. Super cute! Food was delicious! My date claims the Alfredo was one of the best that he’s had! Would recommend!

    Recommended to us by a Lindenwood soccer coach and did not disappoint!! My burger was cooked to perfection and highly recommend the kettle chips. I also had the French onion soup which was spot on. Located in a fantastic part of the historic St Charles area.

    The atmosphere was incredibly inviting as soon as we walked through the door. Great Service, Great food, couldn’t ask for a better dining experience. Make sure you order the brussel sprouts as a starter. A simple dish made that good says a lot about the a place. Kudos to the Chef! Will be returning.

    Atmosphere was nice upon entering but took nearly 10 minutes for a waiter to approach our table. French onion soup and toasted ravs were enjoyable. Both guests ordered pasta dishes, unfortunately a few minutes later the table next to us received one of the same dishes and had nearly 1.5x the portion size compared to what we received.

    The food was great and the service too! Loved the outdoor patio bc you can see the river. We are eager to try the inside once winter is here!

    Our first visit/meal at "The Main House" was quite enjoyable and I know that the friends who joined us felt the same way. We look forward to trying other dishes in the near future!

    We went for lunch and sat outside which was very nice. Our waiter was excellent but the salad that 2 of us ordered as an entree was not good. The green bean salad that was supposed to be mixed with smoked bacon, tomatoes etc was over saturated with dressing and did not seem fresh. It also had very few tiny little pieces of bacon. Very disappointing and will not order another salad there. A friend ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and she said it was good. I’m guessing that the best bet is to order a sandwich.

    The pork chop was amazing. It came with Brussels sprouts that were so good I couldn’t stop eating them. Salmon was also excellent.
