Hosted my niece's bridal shower at Suzette's on Saturday (8/8). So many compliments - many saying…read moreit was the best shower they've attended. The food was delicious. We had the English tea. Lovely first plate with tea sandwiches and a souffle. The attentive, kind and hard working wait staff passed around extra sandwiches. Then came warm, flaky scones served with lemon curd and Devonshire cream (as they should be served), followed by a dessert trio. The tea being served was so good. For foodies, know that they use quality ingredients. Excellent cheeses. Bread that was soft yet stood up to the toppings. I appreciated how helpful Carol was with special food needs (GF, vegan, etc). Staff confirmed with each person what they were getting the day of the event. She was also very helpful in general. I live in Texas, have never been to Suzette's and felt at ease that it would all pull together. Parking in the garage across the alleyway was a bonus. So convenient. I highly recommend them for your small event (room holds 30ish people). They were also very accommodating to the small children who attended so bonus family friendly.

I've visited this quaint little French bistro many times over the years, for brunches, lunches,…read moreChristmas teas, sometimes with company and sometimes happily solo, and I'm delighted to say they've truly elevated their game. There's a quiet pride in the air now, a sense that the place knows it has blossomed. Today's tea service was an absolute treat: elegant, cozy, and full of small delights that made the whole experience feel like a gentle exhale. Every morsel was beautifully balanced, from the crisp, refreshing cucumber canapés to warm flaky scones to the indulgent sweets served with a bright sherbet to cleanse the palate. The pumpkin soup was exquisite, velvety and comforting, and the trio of teas were brewed with the care of someone who respects the leaves. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, warm without being intrusive, exactly what a tea service deserves. This is a special time of year at Suzette's, when you step in from the cold and are welcomed into a space that feels elegant, glowing, and lovingly kept, a perfect little escape, wrapped in French charm and good company. Oh, and don't leave without taking a few of their goodies home... I will surely enjoy mine during the next few days

The venue is delightfully elegant. We were able to spill on to the adjacent garden to mingle. Highly, highly recommend having your private event at Chi-cuterie.

Both were delicious treats. The service was excellent and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of free parking in the lot and the interior is very homey. I follow them on Instagram and found out that Alex the manager had Dahlia tubers he was willing to share. I enjoyed talking with him about how he learned to grow them from his father. He was so generous and kind with advice. A good soul for the St Charles Community. They also have a location in Roselle I found out. Support this local coffee shop if you are in the area. It is special.

A huge thank you to Amy, Michelle and Scott. We couldn't be happier.

I am a former 20-year wedding professional, so I tend to be critical of places. But there was…read moreabsolutely NOTHING to be critical about this place. Clean, spacious, clean restroom facilities, gorgeous everywhere you went. I attended my friend's daughter's wedding over the weekend at Riverside Receptions. I found it to be unique and beautiful in the interior. The wall of windows was insane. The happy couple was married, and their guests watched while overlooking the Fox River. The reception/dinner moved to the upper floor and the room and food were excellent, as was the service. I have food allergies and they accommodated them beautifully. I had the chicken with I think some sort of broccoli on the inside and a cream sauce. The mashed redskin potatoes were insanely delicious. Truly a classy and memorable wedding for the couple, their families and the guests. This goes down as one of the nicest weddings I ever attended.

Their wine selection was better than any place in Downtown St Charles - they had Lebanese wine. Wish we had an event lol!

I stopped in on a weekend morning and ordered an iced chai. It was probably 1 of the best chais I've had. Quality of it was top tier and the same is to be said about the service. Staff was friendly and kept up with the busy weekend crowds. This is a place where I will definitely be frequent at. I'm looking forward to coming back during an evening to try their cocktails and food.

I…read moreonly hesitate to write this review because I'm worried it will be booked solid after, and we won't get a room next time we visit! To say the Oscar Swan is a gem is an understatement. The owner, Nina, is beyond fabulous. She was so kind, attentive and made us feel at home. Upon arrival we had the place to ourselves and Nina told us to head upstairs and pick out our rooms! EVERY room is beautiful. The decor throughout is curated perfectly for the property. We stayed with another family, kids in tow. The kids had a blast running around the property and playing in the pool. The gardens are gorgeous. The front lawn is bigger than a football field - perfect for frisbee! We woke up in the morning to a table set outside and the BEST breakfast spread you could ask for. Pancakes, amazing eggs, toast, banana bread, potatoes, fruit, and perfectly cooked bacon. I can't emphasize enough how gorgeous the setting is, how at home we felt and just all around grateful and happy we were to be there. We had a quick peek at the event space - it's fabulous!!! If I lived in town again and one of my kids were old enough to get married, I wouldn't consider hosting anywhere else!! It's a true time warp in the best possible way. If you're looking for perfection this is not your place. If you're looking for a one of a kind, unforgettable experience - book now!!
