Best American Restaurants in Alton, Illinois

My fiancé and I dined here last night to celebrate our anniversary, and it surpassed all of our expectations! The ambiance was swanky and intimate. It was not too noisy at all. Our waitress, Morgan, was great! We never had empty dishes sitting at our table or empty glasses. Now for the food, it was the highlight of the evening. We started off with tuna tartare and the truffle mushroom risotto - both blew us away. My fiancé got the beef Wellington, and I got the fish and chips - both were incredible! Then, despite feeling stuffed, we decided to get the sticky toffee pudding (amazing), and the restaurant gave us another dessert for our anniversary! We will definitely be back.

Most everything was great but the ahi tuna tataki is not as good as it used to be they have have the serving so much smaller and the chicken piccata was not real chicken piccata the sauce was like broth and not a thick lemon butter caper sauce which is the primary sauce for that dish plus it was a little spicy which is another flavor that is not in the recipe for picatta

Cocktails were superb. Dinners were served as surprisingly large portions. Dessert was decadent. Service was excellent. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Love new items on menu for the winter season. Bacon wrapped scallops was a winner

It was a good experience. Quaint and private. The food was good. Will do it again.
