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!

They have some unique offerings, and I have been eyeing the chicken and waffles online. Shared that and Avocado Toast with no Feta one of my daughters in attendance. Had a bite of my other daughter's chorizo biscuits and gravy. I liked the pearl sugar waffle and the chicken tender, I was glad to have gotten the sauce on the side, it was too sweet for me. It was also on the Avocado toast but I loved the fresh greans on that as well as the poached egg, it was yummy. Nice space, good food, friendly service

My wife and I spent three days in St. Charles, Missouri, and we were excited to return to Novellus…read more We visited around the same time last year and had a great experience, so we were really looking forward to coming back. I normally don't like leaving negative reviews, but something felt different this time. When we walked in there was only one other couple dining, and there was noticeable clutter sitting in the corners of the restaurant. It gave the place a different feel than what we remembered from our last visit. I ordered the Creole Breakfast Gravy. The biscuit itself was excellent--light, fluffy, and exactly how a biscuit should be. Unfortunately the gravy was disappointing. It tasted more like regular sausage gravy with a heavy amount of cayenne pepper and Cajun seasoning added to it. The flavors just didn't balance well. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict. One poached egg was perfect, but the other came out over medium. That's something a trained chef normally wouldn't send out, and it made me feel like the kitchen might have a cook working the line rather than a chef overseeing the dishes. I do want to say the waitress was phenomenal. She was very attentive, friendly, and always made sure our coffee stayed fresh and hot. Her service was definitely the highlight of the visit. We will likely come back again because we know this restaurant can do better. Hopefully the kitchen can correct a few things and bring the consistency back.

Walking in, it is nothing fancy, just a stereotypical small diner setup. One of my favorite things here are the facts listed on the napkin holders--such a lovely touch! All of the staff were friendly and service was excellent. I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla with regular sausage (it came with salsa and sour cream on the side) and a half order of the Cranberry Bread French Toast. It was so good! I love the quesadilla here. It was hot coming out of kitchen, flavorful, and so delicious! The french toast was also so good, the cranberries were juicy, and the small bits of walnut gave a balanced flavor with a slight crunch. It is a smaller place, so seating can be limited. You can also hear the kitchen staff in the back cooking and preparing orders. I didn't mind this, I thought it actually helped contribute to the diner ambiance. I love this place and am excited to come back!

My husband ordered the haystack and added chili to the top. The chili was SO good and made the meals so good. The kitchen sink omelette was the best omelette I've had.. I think ever!

Her wait staff is friendly and great at keeping a coffee cup full. I love the bacon, bacon, bacon, did I mention how good it is. YUMMY. The Shaunwich is so good and has plenty of meat on the croissant with cheesy hash browns. I always add a side of gravy that I can spread on my potatoes. The last time I was in, I decided I needed to try something else. I ordered the 3-egg meat omelet and it was really good. If you are looking for good food and a great atmosphere, this is the place to check out.

There was plenty of parking, and we were seated immediately with no wait. My mom ordered the Million Dollar Potatoes. She absolutely loved the potatoes, although she's not a fan of bacon, so I happily took care of that for her. The bacon was thick and had just the right touch of maple syrup drizzled on top. I went with the waffle, which was light and fluffy. I paired it with eggs and sausage, which was good. I also tried their Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee. Unfortunately, they forgot to add the toffee nut crumbles but the drink looked pretty lol. However, It was just okay overall, and I probably wouldn't order it again. My cousin kept it simple with grits and toast, and she enjoyed her meal. The server was friendly, the food arrived quickly, and the ambiance was calm and welcoming. Overall, we had a good experience, and I would return next time I'm in town.

He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Despite this being in essentially a rich persons strip mall the ambience inside was wonderful. Beautiful decor, wonderful atmosphere. The food was very very good. Love farm to table and this place delivers that with elegance. I highly recommend this place for a nice night out. The prices reflect the quality you get. The 38$ pork chop I ordered was excellent and a lot of food! They handled a group of 12 very well. And from experience I know not a lot of places can pull it off but this place did with grace. Highly recommend.

I was looking to "book" a private dining room in a restaurant that I thought might be good. I called Prasino's, but couldn't speak with anyone because their Customer Service is geared to choosing numbers on my phone keypad. Okay, I followed the rules-- left my name and contact information and sat back to wait for a call. It has now been over 48 hours and there has been no call; no message. I've now booked with another local restaurant. A place that has humans who will speak with a person when he or she calls. I suppose they must have all the business they need? Mu business would have only provided between 5 and $10,000 but hey-- I guess that's not worth returning a call. In any case, I don't recommend Prasino's. I suppose they just don't care.

The food took a while to come out, but as soon as it did, it was worth the wait. For a party of five, we all thought that our meals were delicious. Thanks for an amazing experience even though you all were clearly stressed during a busy day! I will absolutely return.
