Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in St. Charles

My husband and I eat here frequently. We always enjoy the different plates, the drinks, and the atmosphere. The Tapas small plates seem to have gotten a little bigger since the prices have gone up. We had remolacha or beet salad, patatas aioli, gambas al ajillo, and passion martini. For desert we had crema catalan and it was all tasty.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joline during my visit, and I have to say, she is hands down the best server I’ve ever encountered! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that set the tone for an amazing experience. Joline was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in at just the right moments. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive—she recommended a dish I wouldn’t have chosen on my own, and it turned out to be my new favorite! What stood out most was her genuine care for her customers. She made us feel like VIPs, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but with Joline, it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Joline as your server, you’re in for a treat. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a big part of that is because of her outstanding service.

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!

Always an authentic meal, well prepared and served with care and attention to the diner’s needs. The food is delicious and keeps us returning for more

The happy special was great. Very good burger. The service was good.
