    Margherita pizza
    Jodi R.

    We put our name in and waited about 45 minutes before we got a call. It was a Saturday so it's understandable, but the hosts were telling people that even if they were seated the kitchen was backed up so good is taking 45 minutes. We sat down anyway, and it did take a while. Our waitress was nice though it felt like it went by quickly. Our food came out before our appetizers, but the appetizers were brought out quickly after. We didn't eat much of them, and the manager took them off our bill as an apology. Thag was nice, and above and beyond since it was unprompted! The food was not great. The Margarita pizza was not like any Margherita pizza I've ever seen. It was just odd, it also just wasn't good flavor anyway. Hot honey chicken wings were good but super spicy. LOTS of tvs around, definitely an upper scale sports bar. It's a nice and clean renovation! Pretty inside, they just have some work to do.

    We decided to try out Charter 18, one of the new restaurants inside Ameristar. Since they're still new, it seems like they weren't seating at full capacity, which honestly worked in their favor -- the kitchen wasn't backed up and the atmosphere felt relaxed. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though service was on the slower side. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that this is just part of the growing pains of a brand-new spot. What we ordered: Chili - 9/10 (really flavorful, one of the highlights) Clam Chowder - 8/10 (rich and hearty, solid choice) Hot Honey Wings - 8/10 (nice balance of sweet and heat) Chicken Sandwich with tots - 7/10 (the slaw was very wet and by the time it came out, the bun was soggy from sitting in the juices -- tasty but texturally off) Flatbread (chicken - can't remember the name) - according to my daughter, the best flatbread she's ever had Cheesesteak Sandwich - 7/10 (good, but nothing mind-blowing) There was a bit of a mix-up: we received a burger instead of the cheesesteak. They fixed it, but it meant waiting about another 20 minutes while the rest of the table's food was already served and cooling. Overall: The food had some real highlights (the chili and flatbread especially stood out), and the staff was nice even if the service was slow. With a little more time to settle in and iron out the kinks, I think Charter 18 could become a really solid dining option inside Ameristar. I'd definitely give it another shot in a few months to see how they've grown.

    Came here during a weekday and ordered a burger. For the fries, I am able to swap it out with onion rings. Service is good and food is acceptable. We wet to the casino after.

    Philly Cheesesteak

    Tons of tvs. Music is not too loud. A lot of tables. Waitress took our drink orders promptly. We ordered at the same time. Philly cheesesteak with fries and Havana Stack came out within 10 minutes nice and hot. Cheesesteak was very tasty. No fat or gristle. Would definitely order again. Fries were hot. Waitress was prompt. Great service.

    Hot Honey Pepperoni Flat Bread
    Kristen M.

    I got to eat at charter 18 the first month they were opened. My husband and I sat at the bar and had cocktails and split the hot honey pepperoni flat bread. The bartender was attentive and suggested the smoked old fashion that they smoked right Infront of him and I tried the Berry Luck because I'm a gin girly. It was very refreshing and he enjoyed his old fashion as well. The real star though was that hot honey pepperoni flat bread. Ever since we tried it the first time I wanted to go back and get it again because it was so good. A great portion size to share for sure. We came back to the bar again this week and happy we were able to get it to go. It was just as delicious as the first time we tried it. Highly recommend.

We were immediately greeted with a smile and amazing drinks made by David behind the bar:). Prasino will be our first choice when in the area go forward.

Inside, however, the restaurant is alive with energy--a pleasant buzz of conversation and activity that somehow feels both vibrant and comfortable. After a full day of travel, made even more memorable by my local ride getting two flat tires on the way to pick me up, I arrived tired, frustrated, and ready for the day to be over. Within minutes, that feeling had disappeared. The martini was perfectly prepared, and the beet and burrata salad was fresh, balanced, and exactly the light meal I was hoping to find. More importantly, the atmosphere accomplished something great restaurants rarely get credit for: it changed my mood. What began as an evening I hadn't planned to spend alone became one I genuinely enjoyed. As someone who spends a great deal of time traveling for work, I visit plenty of restaurants that are perfectly fine and quickly forgotten. Prasino won't be one of them. If you find yourself in St. Charles--especially after a long day--grab a seat at the bar, order a martini, and let the place work its magic!

The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating for those dining in. This is one of the only truly authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I got one each of the asada and pastor tacos, they were fabulous. They come with plenty of onion and cilantro on top, as well as an almost creamy salsa. Zero complaints. I gave the shrimp ceviche a try as well--the flavor was on point, however the avocado had seen better days. The shrimp was still a little gray as well. It was a very generous portion though, for one tostada--definitely not complaining! ;) I'm excited to eat my way through this menu--so, so happy to see more authentic cuisines in the Saint Charles area.

The pico de gallo was so flavorful & the perfect compliment to the dish. Also got two chicken tacos with the traditional cilantro onion lime and salsa verde. That salsa was so so good but definitely has heat to it so I'm glad I started with a small amount. I love that they are also a shop so you can buy Mexican staples and dried chili peppers and things like that. Looking forward to trying some other things they offer! The staff was really nice too.
