We celebrated our anniversary last night by going to dinner at this new-to-us restaurant in Saint…read moreCharles. We loved everything about The Graceful Ordinary from the ambience to the amazing service (thanks Karen!) to the creative cocktails to the delicious food. When we arrived at the table, there was an anniversary card from the staff. Nice touch! We were brought a loaf of the warm housemade bread with whipped butter to begin. Hubby ordered the Having a Moment bourbon cocktail, and I had the Honey Kiss vodka and elderflower cocktail. Love their creative cocktail list. Karen was a fabulous server, so attentive and friendly. The other staff was on top of everything from water being refilled to clearing dirty dishes and even fresh butter brought to the table when it was low. Our needs were met before we even needed to ask. Also, since Karen knew that we were splitting all the courses, she automatically had the food split between two plates. I liked that. We decided to split everything we ordered. We started with the smoked salmon deviled eggs which were creamy delicious, not to mention beautifully presented. Our second starter was the bone marrow with caramelized shallots. This dish was absolutely amazing. My only critique would be to put four pieces of bread on the plate went two people are sharing. Our next course was a salad and we went with the roasted beet salad with blue cheese and sunflower shoots dressed in a warm bacon vinaigrette. Bacon - need I say more? Our main course was the walleye with ricotta gnudi, fava beans, peas and wild mushrooms. So many flavors and textures going on. The fish was perfectly seared and moist. Delectable. We thought about dessert but we were so full from dinner that we passed. Karen wouldn't let us go without a complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary to enjoy at home, their signature butterscotch pot de crème with sea salt caramel. The Graceful Ordinary certainly made our anniversary special with the anniversary card at the table, and the complementary dessert. If you're in the western Chicago burbs, I highly recommend checking this restaurant out.

I am an Italian restaurant snob because most of the time I can make it at home 1000% better. Not in this case! The layers of flavors and quality was totally next level. Being set in a home converted to a restaurant lends to the vibe of eating at my Italian Grandmas house. They are not open late and last seating is around 8:30. Our party of six had a reservation for 8pm. The place was full when we got there and would recommend reservations. Looking forward to my next visit.

We had the Branzino. Deboned in the kitchen. The Mixed grill of Lamb Chops, Pork, and tasty Italian Sausage. The Greek Peas were awesome.

Been here a few times recently. Atmosphere is great, service excellent. Food has been average…read more.. from bland and tasteless to rich and overly greasy. Others in our party have enjoyed their dishes. Two non-food recommendations: 1. Address your MESS at the host station. Diners waiting, people to and from the bar, servers delivering food, all squeezing through one tiny area. It's super congested and uncomfortable for everyone. Glad you're doing a good business but this almost ruins the experience. Fix the flow! 2. Hooks in the ladies? Cost you maybe $10 to put a hook in each stall. We come in juggling coats and bags with nowhere to hang anything. So, you're asking us to put our items on the bathroom floor? Gross. An EASY fix. The space is very cool, with huge back patio. Could be improved! And if it were, we'd be back. But we'll look elsewhere.

Take a pass on the Majong Noodles. Our whole family was so confused about this one. Noodles with clump of sweet peanut butter on top. Not a sauce.
