    Guacamole bites. Disclaimer, we ate about four before we realized we didn't take a picture.
    Sherry H.

    What a cute little place. Popped in for a quick appetizer and cocktail. When you walk in the bar is to the right and is French inspired decorated. They have indoor seating to the left and lots of patio seating outside. We opted for just a quick bite and ordered the guacamole bites. These are lightly fried wontons stuffed with tangy guacamole and served with their signature strawberry pepper jelly. They were very tasty. Our server was super nice and informative. We glanced at the rest of the menu and it had just a little bit of everything.

    We had a Yelp elite event across the street and were running ahead of schedule so sent to this cute little bistro across the street to grab a cocktail and an appetizer and check out a new place. The guacamole bites were tasty, I had a glass of Pinot Grigio with it. The bartender/ server was super nice and helpful. The ambiance of this little spot is very cool and small. The menu is very basic. Sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks.

    Bison Burger and fries
    Michelle L.

    Nice table on the patio and our waitress was very friendly . They have a good menu and husband and I both chose the bison burger. We waited about 25 minutes then waitress came and said the cook overlooked our order and it would be another 15 minutes, they gave us an appetizer until our order came.The toasted ravioli was very good , deep fried to perfection and a nice flavorful sauce. The Bison Burger was a half pound party grilled and loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon crumble plus bacon strip and onion rings served with hot crispy fries. If you haven't tried bison please note that it has a different flavor and texture than ground beef.

    Guacamole Bites

    We enjoyed the beautiful weather and sat on the patio. We wanted the spinach and artichoke dip but they were out of it. Instead we ordered the guacamole bites. They remind me of all won tons filled with guacamole and served with a pepper jelly sauce. The bites were a little light on the guacamole filling. The pepper jelly sauce is delicious and adds more flavors and heat.

    Great atmosphere in the heart of DT Charles. Had lunch and the menu was small but delicious. Staff were on point and friendly. Had the steak sandwich special and it was very good.

    Small house salad
    Doug M.

    Not bad. Lobster bisque was quite good. So was the house salad. It had a nice mix, including a hard boiled egg. Dressing comes on the side. Bistro burger also good with a half pound patty that was juicy and cooked to my requested well done. Bacon, cheese and bbq sauce come on it. Sweet potato fries were overcooked, but still okay.

The Roasted Cauliflower seriously deserves its own fan club. Smoky and just tender enough, this side dish makes me feel like I made a responsible, healthy life choice. The mild corn salsa is bright and cheerful, though I will admit I treat the red peppers like an unwanted guest and politely pick them out, one by one. Their tortilla chips walk that fine line of perfectly salty, without tipping into regret, while the hummus is smooth and mellow. An efficient staff keeps things moving, but if you're introverted - or just don't want to commit to human interaction - the kiosk has your back. Dine inside, or al fresco, with a few patio tables.

It was chilly inside. The food was disappointing. Mine was supposed to have peppers and carrots but they were rare finds (see photos of Thai Bowl) as it was mostly hunks of broccoli with stems and cabbage leaves. Bland and unappealing, not cooked well, especially compared to Hawaii Poke, where the broccoli almost melts in your mouth it's so tender- and no stems. I won't be returning here.

    Absolutely loved our breakfast here! My husband and I sat on the patio overlooking the river, and…read morethe view alone made it worth the visit! So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

    What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area!…read more It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!

There is also a drive through for pick up orders only. Orders can be placed via phone or online. Upon entry we were promptly greeted by the friendly staff. There was a new person training; however she did a great job taking our order. We chose to dine in. NOTE: it's a very small dining room. Only seating for 10-12 people. We received both our orders (and they were correct) within a few minutes. I had the firecracker chicken with sweet chili sauce, which came with ravishing rice. (At first I thought my chicken was on a bed of carrots, but it was actually the rice - it is ORANGE. I did not detect a distinct flavor so perhaps it's orange due to food coloring. I'll ask next time. He had chicken tenders with honey bbq sauce and fries. Everything was prepared well and was hot, fresh and flavorful. The chicken in both dishes was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Our meals totaled around $25. Sounds like a lot, but I had so much food that there is enough for a second meal. We WILL go back because the food was good, plus the menu is huge and there are other interesting items we'd like to try.
