Restaurants in St. Charles

“Chef Abdul's is absolutely fabulous! The food was fresh, delicious and with generous servings. The baklava is to die for. The staff is friendly, attentive and a pleasure to be around. Consider this our new fave!”

“Went to Balmoral restaurant for my birthday dinner last night. My husband and I enjoyed our 5 course meal. We started with mushrooms in a garlic sauce that was served with a crusted bread. The sauce was so tasty. We had mixed greens salads. Pea and Ham soup. The soup was very flavorful. My husband had a beautiful cut porkchop with chosen sides of roasted potatoes and glazed carrots. I chose a chicken dish and once again the sauce was incredible. The meat literally melted when you cut it, it was very tender. My chosen sides were glazed sweet potatoes and cauliflower in a cheese sauce. We were stuffed but ordered dessert just because. We chose a chocolate and shortbread dessert. We ate every crumb. Our server was attentive and informative about all the food. The menu is extensive. We highly recommend. We'll be back to try more items from menu and try their afternoon tea.”

“Great experience, from the service to the amazing food. Owned and operated by great people. Chris and Megan are great supporters of the St. Charles community and have an amazing establishment to enjoy fine dining to its fullest!”

“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!”

My 10-year-old daughter also likes going and picking out all the specialty donuts here. Whenever you buy a dozen donuts, they always throw in a few extras. Been extremely happy with them.”

“Another great meal at moto imōto. I stopped in to have a drink before dinner with friends and Kaylee was our delightful bartender. She was knowledgeable and very attentive. She’s very friendly and a great fit for the restaurant. When I was seated for dinner Tyler was my server. Excellent service and very knowledgeable of the menu. Kudos to the kitchen staff - my appetizer and meal were not only brought to my table immediately, but tasted wonderful. It was a busy Mother’s Day dinner service, but everything seemed to run very smoothly. As I watched the rest of the staff, everyone seemed friendly and attentive to the diners. Moto imōto is one of my favorite restaurants in town and I will continue to come back again and again.”
