Happy hour "Dine and unwind" - very cool
Debbie H.

Italian is my favorite type of food so I was excited to this, near my hotel. I stopped by rather early for dinner - it was a travel day and I was starving. That meant I got to take advantage of happy hour menu and pricing. The fresh bread was a great way to start. The house wine is good as well. My waitress was friendly enough, although as a solo diner, I did feel a bit rushed. Opted for the Shrimp Scampi which was delicious. Plenty of food. Fair price. Comfortable environment. Fast service. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Milano Salad
Bill A.

Went for a dinner. The food was fine. Admittedly I went with fish and not steak or a heavier dish since I had a decent size lunch. The citrus glazed salmon was ok. It was definitely on the sweet side and did not have any heat to balance it out. I did have a side of broccoli and it was cooked well and simple with the right amount of salt and peppers Some folks did order the mahi mahi and steaks, they all seemed very happy with those meals with a special mention to the mahi mahi. Server was super nice.

Toasted Ravioli 6
Glen S.

Went in solo after recommendations from a few people. I thought, incorrectly, it was a super fancy restaurant. While the ambiance is a bit nicer it is still a casual dining experience. I sat at the bar. The night I was there the beer taps were literally frozen a little disappointing but not the end of the world. The staff that greeted me were friendly. The bartender did a great job answering questions and providing some recommendations. I went with the Milano Salad and Toasted Ravioli I wasn't overly hungry. The salad was plenty filling and they have their own house dressing that is great. The toasted ravioli was good as well. Definitely going to come back and would recommend others give it shot. Prices were reasonable.

Martini Monday menu
Sherry P.

Outstanding local mom & pop gourmet comfort spot! The food is exceptional in quality and flavor. The cocktails are inspired. Service is attentive. "Happy hour" 3-5:30 on weekdays features an entree with sides and salad with a glass of house wine or soft drink for $20! I was also here for Martini Monday with $7 Martinis and select apps. Service was caring and personal - they gave me a voucher for a free pasta on my next visit. Provel Cheese sauce is to die for and the Milano salad was delish.

Excellent! I'm on a quest to find the great restaurants on the Illinois side of the river! Too many times I find myself driving to Missouri in order to experience great food and service. Mission accomplished with this one! First, the customer service is awesome! We felt welcomed and our needs were attended to. In addition, the food and drinks were great! My Cajun chicken pasta was delicious! The tiramisu martini was a 10! The oil that comes with the bread is superb. I can't wait to return!

Ravioli (16)
Lindsey E.

Make sure to get a reservation online! The staff was nice and the inside was clean glad we got to sit at a booth! I got some ravioli which was good but could have been better with a bit less oil and the oil and bread that comes out before, the bread could be a little better not as crunch. Would like to see them switch it up a little here. I would go back for a special event possibly, could be priced better for the quality

Keep walking and you enter the bar area with other rooms off to the side. The staff are warm and welcoming. They greet you as you enter and direct you to seating. I sat at the bar and at one of the small seating areas and both were comfortable and cozy. The decor inside is what makes this place so charming! Antique furniture, couches, tables and cozy chairs at the bar! There is just a warm, comfortable and cozy vibe from the building, decor and the amazing staff! They have a several page long wine menu that includes glasses and wines by the bottle. If you love wine you will not be disappointed! But it doesn't end with wine...specialty cocktails, beers, and more. Look to the board to the left of the bar for other delightful specials. I tried the coconut hot toddy and it was yummy! Grafted also has a small menu with cheese and meat boards and the best part...'Potato Pancake Goes on a World Tour' menu! (Fri-Sun only) These are a must try! There is also a patio space that looks really nice! I'm looking forward to returning soon!

I love this place! 10/10…read moreI decided to surprise my spouse for our wedding anniversary and chose this place. We were not disappointed. The location of this place is off to itself. A lovely big and dark red painted mansion. The inside is dim, but intimate. The staff was great! Our server was Amanda. She was very attentive. Appetizers August the Mansion House salad- it was good with the Candied walnuts Brussels Sprouts- So warm and sweet. I couldn't get enough of it. Burratta- The Burratta was light and so good Drinks(Mocktails) Espresso Natini- Light and Perfect. No strong taste to it. Palmito- Sweet Main Dishes NY Strip- Cooked it medium rare. Very tasty Shrimp and Grits- My said it was spicy, but she enjoyed it Dessert Pistachio cheesecake- delicious

This was our second time coming here, we were celebrating our 10th anniversary…read more We love the beautiful building and bar area, and think it's very pretty inside. The acoustics make it kinda hard to hear what the person across from you is saying, and the wooden chairs are not comfortable at all. Our server was a very bubbly young lady named Emma, who did a great job taking care of us. I had two glasses of wine and we ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer, a house salad each, and we both had the filet entree. I loved it all, but my husband thought there was too much sauce on the sprouts and wasn't crazy about the salad. He loved the entree though. We got the tiramisu for dessert, and took it home with us. The portions are big, so we had some sprouts and I had some steak leftover. I'm looking forward to having it for dinner again tonight!! We will definitely be back. I love that it's in town, and the food is delicious. It's pricey but worth it, especially when you're celebrating something.

I am so dang sad. This place is not what it used to be. The food has changed a lot. The cheese dip…read moreserved with the Bretzels seemed like it was definitely the Tostitos cheese dip in a jar, but warmed up. The toasted ravioli were the worst of my life which is so confusing like how is it possible to make fried food taste bad? I've had better from the freezer isle. My sister ordered the Mediterranean flatbread and it was weird. Didn't seem to truly be Mediterranean inspired and everyone who tried it disliked it. This place used to be packed and it was mostly empty. The strawberry sangria was SO watered down. I had 3 and didn't feel like I consumed any alcohol & certainly couldn't taste any. It was like watered down strawberry juice. The employees were nice, but they don't check on you at the table. You have to bring your cups and dishes back to the bar when you're done. I just don't know if this place will survive if they don't make some huge changes. My family and I used to love coming here, but the ambiance, food and drink offerings, and service is poor. Breaks my heart to see this place go downhill.
