    Boneless wings
    Nicky W.

    We were stopping in late Saturday night from out of town. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of our food for their "bar food" menu. We ordered smash burgers and boneless wings. The burger was juicy and very filling. The side of chips were incredible and crispy. The indoor area is quite loud with the music and sport events on the tvs but nothing outrageous.

    Classic cheeseburger with a side of Mac n cheese

    I went here with my family on a Sunday around 5 pm. There was only one person working out front, so she was bartender and waitress, but she was very good at balancing both roles and providing efficient service. I ordered the classic cheeseburger with a side of Mac n cheese and it was delicious! The burger was very juicy and flavorful. The ambiance was pretty nice too. Not too dark, the music wasn't too loud, and it wasn't too crowded in here either. Made for a nice family dinner. My brother ordered a chicken Alfredo sandwich and said it was one of the best chicken sandwiches he's ever had.

    The loaded nachos are the best in St. Charles. We split the a Hive Chicken Sandwich, and it was more than enough for 2 people. Next time, I'd get an extra side of honey mustard because it was excellent. I didn't care for the chips, I'll get fries next time. The seasonal drinks were outstanding. We sat inside near the bar, and it was very loud with a couple parties next to us. But there is seating in the back near the billiards tables which seemed to be a quieter area. Great and friendly service, fair pricing and high quality food and drink. Oh, and we loved the late 80's/ early 90's playlist. Highly recommend!

    This is a great restaurant located in downtown St. Charles with many different options for vegetarians. They also have really unique drink options that are a a must try. I ordered a vegetarian burger with fries and also got to try one of the pasta's with garlic bread and soup. The portions here are definitely great for the price especially with the pasta. The burger was decent for a vegetarian patty and the fries were really good. I also really loved the ranch that was given as it had the perfect sweetness to saltyness ratio. We also really loved the service as our waitress was really nice and always came to check in. The only issue I had was that it costed extra to replace the burger patty with a vegetarian one so that was a bit disappointing. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the St. Charles area looking for some American food.

    My husband and I took our nephew out for dinner and a movie and tried the Hive because we've never been there before. Since it's a bar, I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised! Friendly service, but forgot to bring our cheese curds out before our meal. Only nit. Other than that, no issues. The Chef burger was awesome. I will for sure get that again. The fries were delicious. My husband loved the buffalo chicken sandwich... which surprised me. He usually doesn't like most chicken sandwiches he orders. My nephew loved his fish tacos. He finished his entire plate before I ate a quarter of my burger. I got the bomb pop, and it was good, but super sweet and not strong enough. My husband got something like an old fashioned, but it was too sweet for him. We will be back next time we see a movie out this way!

    Portobello pub fries and the Western Burger
    Melissa S.

    We came during happy hour at 5:00 on a Thursday. The place was dead. I think with all the new bars and restaurants this place just seems so old and outdated. The Portobello pub fries were pretty tasty. My husband said the fries were great but his burger was average at best. My $12 red wine was awful. His Tito's drink was watered down and terrible.

    Hive Chicken Sandwich. Buy it.

    Alright, hold on to your britches, this place is the real hidden gem. Looking for unbelievable live music? Yeah, they got it. Looking for ice cold beer and a welcoming atmosphere? Yeah, this place freaks. MOST IMPORTANTLY, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH OF YOUR LIFE??????? Congratulations chicken sandwich traveler, you have for your Mecca. Yeah, you can build it different ways (transparency, haven't tried it any other way but I'm certain this is the best in the most ignorant way possible) but you need to build it like this. Hot honey Spicy slaw Pickles Bacon *Obvious side beer* BOOM. You're welcome, this sandwich just did more than your husband ever could. Been in town two weeks and I've had this sandwich at least 8 times. Also, the bartender/manager is one of the most welcoming individuals I've ever met.

    Food was good. Tried the portobello flatbread which could have been better with a balsamic glaze or something.

I was disappointed that their beans have pork and they couldn't substitute for non-pork. Since the beans are in many menu items it really limited what I could eat. We got the corn ribs, flautas and burrito. The corn ribs were good and the flautas were okay. I really disliked the burrito because it had whole broccolini which made it impossible to take a bite. I felt like I was constantly pulled veggies out of the burrito rather than being able to take an actual bite.

We initially tried to dine at Tia Carmen's downstairs, but the wait was too long--so we headed upstairs to Revolución instead. We were among the first guests. The service was friendly, though not particularly attentive. Our server didn't check in often, and we had to wait quite a while for water--thankfully, the busser eventually stepped in and kept our glasses full. The food was tasty overall. We weren't fans of the chips served with the guacamole; they were more like plain tortillas--dry and lacking salt. That said, the rest of the meal was enjoyable. My suggestion to management: even when it's slow, make sure tables have water and guests are checked on regularly. A little extra attentiveness would go a long way in improving the experience.

    A nice spot to grab a drink on a nice weather day - the outdoor patio is fantastic!…read more The fellas and I grabbed a round of brews here while roaming around downtown Geneva and we had zero complaints. It was really nice out so, naturally, we were at the outdoor bar/patio. What a delightful space: open, airy, ample seating, great staff. The biggest bummer is navigating inside for the bathroom but everything else is top notch. We're fans and will return again!

    I'd love to share my full experience at Preservation but alas, there isn't much in the way of food…read moreor drink I can report on. The service however, is a different story. My friend and I arrived around 7:15pm this evening, Tuesday night, a weekday. We were greeted by a hostess in a full winter jacket and completely empty front room. She gave us the option to sit in said empty room or to follow her back to a "cozy heated area." We couldn't decide so we asked her to choose, and she led us down a long, narrow hallway to the back. There were three parties total in the indoor patio--us, another table of 2 and a large party of 8. Their outdoor patio was open, and with a view of it from the cozy room. The outdoor patio was festive with holiday lights, heaters and perhaps 3 people sitting at the bar. Many employees bustled back and forth through the door linking our two spaces. Our waitress brought us two glasses of water and food menus, pointed out the QR code menu on our table and walked away. That was our ONLY interaction with her. We proceeded to then sit for 15 minutes, watching our waitress, along with 3 other employees walk back and forth, attentively serving the large party, cleaning up a recently vacated back booth, chatting with one another and even saw another employee take a moment to vape inside near the POS system. We were ignored. No eye contact, no smile, no acknowledgment. It's as if we were not even there. For a slow Tuesday night, with ample staff, this was unacceptable. It grew so uncomfortable that we gathered our jackets and began to walk out. As we made our way back down the long hallway, the hostess, carrying a tray of waters, thanked us for coming in. Clearly there is a lack of awareness--or attention to detail. In what world would we have been able to order drinks, eat and pay our bill in less than 30 minutes since you seated us? But Finally! Someone noticed us. Too bad it was too little too late. We walked a block down to a different restaurant, and had an amazing time, spending more time & money than originally anticipated at that establishment, as a direct result of the poor hospitality and lack of service received at Preservation. Their loss was the Alchemist's gain.

The bartenders are friendly, very easy on the eyes, and are simply downright excellent people. Now let's be realistic. If you're looking for a fillet mignon. This is not the place. But if you're looking for good burgers, good sweet potato fries, an excellent Reuben, a monster salad, and a chicken quesadilla that's loaded, and a crazy loaded jalapeño thing, this place is for you. If you're looking for Michelin level cuisine and waitresses that scrape the table cloths during your meal...yeah, no. I've seen a few of the comments talking about individual situations, and I can say if you're looking to be a jerk, then you'll probably be treated like a jerk, then please don't come back and the rest of us will be quite happy not to observe your drama. I would put the Dam bar in the top 5 of all bars in Kane County. And the number #1 pub in Geneva. And we have a lot of good pubs in Geneva too. If you're looking for a casual place to watch the game, then the Dam bar is highly recommended. Thank you for reading my feedback.
