Niko's Tavern - St. Charles

Food was great! Our server Jess, I believe, was super sweet and attentive. I was expecting regular American fare but to my surprise and delight there was saganaki on the menu!!! Since I'm on a saganaki kick lately, it couldn't have made me happier. We also had wings and a black and blue burger both were perfectly cooked and if I didn't live 2 hours away I'd frequent often BUT if I'm ever in the area I'll be sure to stop in.

WE Will NOT be returning!!!! My friend and I went to try this place out tonight for the first time. Food was great, waitress was great. I, just like anyone else had to use the bathroom as well as my friend. She asked the waitress for another beer and we went to the bathroom. Not even 5 mins later we come back to our table and it is cleaned off, my drink I didn’t even get to drink was gone, my purse was gone and so was our food. We go up to the bar to see what is going on and were told to wait. We went up to the hostess area and were told by the manager they thought we dipped...... WHAT! Then he proceeds to pull out a napkin with blue highlighter writing on it stating WE left them a note saying we left at 8:45!!! I corrected him right away and said I’m sorry but it isn’t even 8:40 yet and that is neither of ours hand writing (cursive) and why would I leave my purse that has my car keys, work badge, and wallet at the table?! The manager tells me “you would be surprised”! I saw cameras on the ceilings and I told him to go look at the video footage right now and he will clearly see we went straight to the bathroom and straight to our booth. He said “I believe you” OK then why did they feel the need to touch my purse?! He did 0 out our balance but that is NOT the point! The point is two women had to take care of business just like everyone else does and we were not even gone 5 mins and they clear our table. RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and LIEING that we left a note is STUPID! I will not be returning to this place! EVER!

Not impressed. Waited a long time for the food and it was cold. Waitress charged me wrong price for the salmon. Said she would correct it but she brought it back and it was wrong again. Niko's was much better...

Tried Stevie D's for the 1st time. The place looks great Cream of broccoli soup was really good Crispy chicken wrap was a little sloppy/wet, idk if it was cheese or ranch that was dripping out but maybe just put the sauce on the side to dip Alfredo was good w/ 2 large pieces of toasted bread for dipping. Mac and cheese burger and Stevie D burgers (barbecue, onion rings and bacon) were also good. Should've ordered them medium instead of med well Rib basket was good and a large portion Service was not fast but we were in the mood to hangout anyway Bill for 5 was a little high $89 before tip with 1 glass of wine. Portions were all large we have enough for 3 lunches tomorrow. We will be back

Update: Transition of the location to new name Stevie D 's , reflecting new ownership by former manager. Can 't put my finger on 100%, but can feel the difference of onsite ownership/management. went in tonight and enjoyed a fantastic salmon dinner. Sat at the bar and must say the best bar service I have experienced in the past few years. Bartender was very busy with a healthy crowd, but maintained bar vision , which is a dying art, and was aware and attentive to customers ' needs. Would love to have the price point a couple bucks less, but will gladly continue to pay for quality food and hope the attention to service and detail continues. Must also mention a good solo guitar/singer was nice tough tonight (after 9pm I think). Continue to hope good things for this place.
