    We went for a late lunch during the holiday season and it was still fairly busy. Our Server was very welcoming and friendly. The inside space is beautiful with plenty of padded booths that look out over Main Street. We started a couple of old fashions which were nicely done. We then had the deviled eggs and then took the Server's recommendation on the soup of the day, a Sausage, Kale and vegetable soup. We enjoyed them both very much. For entrees, I had the Cobb Salad while my wife ordered the beef tenderloin. My salad was packed with meat and was very good and my wife really enjoyed her meal. All and all a very good meal. They also have a very nice wine list with some very good options. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

    My husband and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at The Main House this week. We were impressed with the quality of the food, the waiter (JP), and the restaurant’s ambiance. We highly recommend the Roasted Brussels appetizer and the Filet Mignon and the Beef Tenderloin Medallions entrees.

    The space is small and intimate with the most perfect mood lighting. It is the perfect spot for a date night. They also had tables with fire pits and personal blankets set up outside for cozying up. Super cute! Food was delicious! My date claims the Alfredo was one of the best that he’s had! Would recommend!

    Recommended to us by a Lindenwood soccer coach and did not disappoint!! My burger was cooked to perfection and highly recommend the kettle chips. I also had the French onion soup which was spot on. Located in a fantastic part of the historic St Charles area.

    The atmosphere was incredibly inviting as soon as we walked through the door. Great Service, Great food, couldn’t ask for a better dining experience. Make sure you order the brussel sprouts as a starter. A simple dish made that good says a lot about the a place. Kudos to the Chef! Will be returning.

    Atmosphere was nice upon entering but took nearly 10 minutes for a waiter to approach our table. French onion soup and toasted ravs were enjoyable. Both guests ordered pasta dishes, unfortunately a few minutes later the table next to us received one of the same dishes and had nearly 1.5x the portion size compared to what we received.
