• Gastro Pub • St. Charles
Booked 4 times today
In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

    The food is absolutely delicious. I had the steak which was done just perfectly and my wife had the linguine which she said was perfectly al dante. We also had the calamari,which was very good. Our server was outstanding, and the noise level was very low, so you could easily carry on a conversation. The only negative I would possibly have would be as we were leaving. I told the hostess that we had a great server and that it seemed to me like she was working the whole room. She snapped back that our server was just a drama queen. I think she thought the server was complaining to me, which was absolutely not the case, as she was incredibly professional. Rather, it was an observation on my part. Kind of left a final bad taste on an otherwise perfect evening. Maybe the hostess was just having a bad day. We will absolutely go back and enjoy another meal there. Maybe they'll be a more professional hostess next time.

    Our meal was outstanding. We had the Parmesan crusted white fish with potatoes & roasted vegetables which I believe was the best meal ever. We ate dinner in the Speakeasy before the show and would go back again for dinnet even if we weren't attending a show.

    I wish I was allowed to give La ZaZa Trattoria 10 stars because this place is fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly, great service and reasonable prices for what you get. The Wagyu Steak special was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten, (cooked perfectly to order) and I’ve dined at some of the finest steakhouses in the country. If I lived in the area, I’d be here every night!! Awesome restaurant!
