Best Cozy Restaurants in Edwardsville

Amazing dining experience. Top notch service and excellent food. Reservations are recommended.

Always a wonderful experience. Met two friends for lunch. Food was delicious. Service was great. Always enjoy a good glass of wine. Glad to see tables of young people today. A really nice experience. Thank you.

Scratch Gourmet Kitchen continues to impress! From the incredible Valentine’s Day menu to the outstanding service, every detail was top-notch. The food was perfectly executed, with a fantastic selection that made it impossible to choose just one favorite—so I tried everything, and it did not disappoint. Tyler and his team create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend for a date night or any occasion where you want truly exceptional food and service!

I had the grilled tuna as my main course and it was perfectly seasoned. The purple Japanese sweet potato really brought everything together! My girlfriend had the lobster tail with pasta and bacon, and she loved it too. The pasta had a sweet aftertaste that was delightful! She also did some wine sampling of the sweet wines. She liked them but for $15 you’ll only get 3 wines that are 1/3 full. We both then tried a tart pie that we didn’t really enjoy. The first bite tasted like raw orange peel, it was very bitter. The orange peel taste stays around but isn’t as extreme as the first bite. So if you don’t like tart, don’t get their tart pie (not the actual name but forgot the name).

We had a great time. Not a lot of Christmas decor, but the drinks and pretzel were great. Service was outstanding. So friendly and nice. Will be back.
