    Tomato and Barada Caprese salad
    Holly R.

    After walking around the art festival in the evening, we decided to stop in for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised with everything. The ambience inside is small and quaint, and they have a large outdoor patio that looked very inviting, but it was too warm for me. I would love to go back when it's cooler and enjoy the patio. We had the Caprese salad appetizer, baked chicken, and a pork chop. All of our food came out looking good and tasting great.

    I've come here twice for date night and my boyfriend and I love it! Main Street itself is so lovely and romantic at night but The Main House also has a great elevated casual romantic vibe. We had great drinks, a cocktail - he got the blackberry lemon drop martini and mocktail for me - I recommend the White Wine Spritz. Then split the Brussels sprouts which were incredible! Then I had the Cajun penne and he had the chicken Alfredo. We loved both! Our server was very attentive but wasn't constantly bothering us. Highly recommend for locals and visitors!

    This restaurant knocks it out of the park on charm, but truly this entire part of St. Charles looks like I walked straight into a scene of a Hallmark movie. And I don't even like or watch Hallmark movies but being here makes me think I might want to (not really, but sort of) Anyway, the location is great with views of brick streets in front and the river in the back. The service was stellar with a friendly server who was absolutely attentive and accommodating. The cocktails were some of my favorite! My favorite cocktail is a penicillin. My second favorite is a sidecar (I'm an old school-kind-of-gal) and they had BOTH on the menu. I live in Philly and I have found only one place that features a penicillin on their cocktail menu so I am usually asking the bartender if they can make one and if ginger syrup is not on hand I'm out luck. The server told me that this was house-made ginger and truly this is one of the best penicillin's I've ever had! I ordered the oysters and they were definitely fresh served with house-made horseradish and they were delicious, albeit really small. I should have asked but I'm used to big sized oysters especially, for $18, but like I said, they were very tasty! Truffle fries were good and so were the shaved Brussels! This was a great choice for an evening hanging out with my grade school/ high school besties as I visit from Philly!

    This restaurant is really fantastic. We came to St. Charles this time around for the Christmas Traditions Festival. I knew I'd need a reservation to come here, so I booked well in advance. We were seated in the main dining room and it was so cozy, beautiful ambiance. I ordered their chocolate orange martini from the holiday cocktail menu and it did not disappoint. My husband and I both got their French onion soup and Diver scallop dinner special, which was to die for! No room for dessert sadly but the food was amazing. I will definitely continue to go back when I'm in the area!

    Another first time WIN for the books. My goal is to knock out everything on Main Street so I was pretty excited to try this spot. Upon pulling up, I thought it was like a store , didn't really look like a restaurant, but I was pretty impressed with how nice the seats were and the decor. When we walked in, they weren't too crowded and we were immediately greeted and taken to the seat. I requested booth and they set up in line with no problems so I really like that. They had brunch menu and regular menu so we decided to try something from each. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my friend had the waffles and breakfast slider. We decided to try the fried chicken sandwich, waffle, breakfast slider and the ravioli as an appetizer as I'm making my goal to try everybody's ravioli in St. Louis lol. I was not disappointed with any of the food. Everything was fresh and Great taste. The customer service was good and fast. The restaurant was clean and I would visit again to try more things..

    The Main House is delicious! The filet is 10/10. Fun atmosphere and good service. Large drink menu and reasonably priced for the quality and portions. Definitely one of the best restaurants on Main Street.

    We had lower expectations just knowing how busy this place is being right on Main St and going on such a beautiful evening. We were beyond blown away by our experience! Our server Kaylee was fantastic. So attentive and making sure our food came in a timely manner but nicely spaced out to give us time to enjoy. All of our food was delicious, the chicken wings were perfect and everyone loved them and the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly. Everyone in our party loved their main courses as well. They even made our daughter feel so special and helped us celebrate her 9th birthday with a delicious treat and candle! We all said we will be back and bring our friends and family. Such an amazing meal and experience!

    Chicken dish
    Lucy M.

    First time here. Very nice ambiance. Sunday night still busy. Foods taste great. We loved our orders. The only thing is that everything seems so pricey. Chicken dishes around $25 to $30, steaks are from $40 to $75, seafood is around $40-$50. We ordered pork chop and Chicken both are really good.

    Chocolate Cake

    We really enjoyed our first visit to The Main House. We chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful evening. You can see Frontier Park & the river from the patio. The inside looked quaint and inviting with lots of wood framing the dining area. We were greeted warmly by everyone and our server and others gave us lots of attention and were very kind. We chose the hanger steak & tenderloin as our entrees. They were both phenomenal, but we agreed the tenderloin was just perfection. The mashed potatoes served with the tenderloin really sealed that choice as well. It's the best steak & potatoes I've had at a restaurant in a long while. For dessert we chose the chocolate cake & bread pudding. Again we both preferred the bread pudding, but both were delicious. I already can't wait to return!

    This restaurant is fantastic! The food is top-notch, and the service is excellent. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is quaint and cosy. When it's warm make sure to grab a seat on their beautiful patio.

    Wow! What an experience…read more Naturally, I had to get a glass of their crisp Italian Pinot Grigio. It was a must with the girl chat we were having and I was tempted to order another, but we would've never left if I had. I started with the lava roll. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture as I ate it within approximately .3 seconds of it being set on the table. Flavorful, and had a kick of spice to it! Next, we ordered fries and had to throw in another round because they were so yummy. The sauce that came with them... um yes, they know exactly what they are doing. I also asked for honey mustard, and Marcus literally went in the back and made me my very own sauce. How exceptional?! I'm talking about both Marcus and the sauce he made, yes, exceptional! For our entrees, my friend ordered a classic pepperoni pizza and I had Marcus surprise me with mine. He chose the salmon entree, which I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. The skin was crispy, salmon was cooked to perfection, the risotto had a burst of flavor, and everything worked well together. Also, it was a gorgeous plate. I wanted dessert but we were so stuffed, we had to pass. But it gives us an excuse to come back and see Marcus.... And try more food.

We've not had a bad experience with service at any point. The host(ess), waiter, and bartenders always do a fantastic job. Sometimes it can be quite busy and when that's the case, it can be quite noisy in the bar area. The rest of the restaurant remains far quieter even during rushes. It's also a nice place to visit when the weather is nice because they have a lovely patio. The only nuisance are random cars and/or motorcycles that drive by and continuously rev their engines. Not Prasino's fault, just the ignorant people driving by. All in all, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour offer great options for everyone. The best part of Prasion is tasting the fresh ingredients they use.

Since our table wasn't ready, we decided to grab a drink at the bar. The Una Vida Margarita was absolutely perfect, made just to my liking. Shortly after we got our drinks, our table was ready, so we quickly moved to our seats. We started with the Scallops Scampi, which was a delightful combination of light breading and tender scallops. The rolls and butter were incredibly addictive. The Caesar salad was generously topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and had a creamy dressing. For my main course, I opted for the lobster combo, which included a 6-ounce filet, lobster tail, and three shrimp scampi. Why settle for just one when you can have them all? The filet was cooked to perfection and accompanied by a generous scoop of Tony's signature steak butter, which was simply delicious. The lobster tail was equally impressive, whether enjoyed on its own or with a squeeze of lemon and the butter draw they offer. The shrimp scampi had the same breading as the scallops and was just as tasty. Throughout our meal, we couldn't resist trying a few Una Vida shots. As always, they hit the spot perfectly. The server was fantastic and attentive, making sure to keep us well-catered to. He even joined in on our laughter throughout the evening. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience.

Rigatoni alla vodka is my favorite pasta and I've had it at multiple establishments including my own kitchen and this one wasn't anything special. I actually couldn't taste the alla vodka part at all. It really just tasted like cheesy pasta with salmon. No real flavor. I guess that's why it's not listed as a crowd favorite. Ambiance is low lit and in the main dinning area, it can get really loud so if anyone is hard of hearing, it's best to get a reservation outside as it was difficult for one in our party. It didn't help that our waitress would step two steps back away from our table and let other waiters and waitresses pass in front of her instead of behind. Street parking is horrendous but my in-laws were able to find a spot right out front. We opted for the parking lots in the back as we don't mind walking a bit. It did rain a bit but we had an umbrella.
