The Lewis & Clark Boat House and Museum in St. Charles, Missouri is a captivating museum dedicated to the renowned explorers' journey from 1803-1806. It features full-scale replicas of the boats used by Lewis and Clark, along with exhibits that vividly detail their historic expedition. The museum also hosts the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, where experienced re-enactors bring the expedition's story to life through a fleet of replica boats.
Wonderful museum with a wealth of knowledge about the explorers. My favorite part was the very well made documentary. It's about 45min long but I highly recommend watching it in full before you tour the museum. It describes in great detail things your history books never tell you. The artifacts are well displayed and very interesting. There's a gift shop and a deck to sit outside and enjoy a view of the fast flowing Missouri river. The boathouse in underneath the museum and the boats are interestingly made. There is a small entry fee to visit the museum.

This is a very cool museum tucked into the riverfront next to Historical St. Charles. Very cool area! The museum has a lot of information but only takes a time commitment of 1-2 hrs. so you can do both. Very affordable pricing for our family of 5 and there is a parks membership doscount. The facilities are new, clean, and has a patio area that is very nice. We went with 3 young boys and the giftshop has a lot of good finds for kids to encourage exploring and learning more about Lewis and Clark. Worth the visit!

We really liked this museum. Their exhibits are packed with artifacts, and it's deceptively larger than it looks. I really enjoyed the diorama section with its impressive details, and most of their taxidermy is very well done. They also do a great job setting an atmosphere, which is not something that all museums are good at. The history of Lewis in Clark is not high on my list of interesting histories, but the museum manages to make you care. They also have a 40 min National Geographic documentary that was good enough for us to sit through. I definitely suggest coming and also using Groupon if you are coming as a group. At the standard admission price, I feel like the museum is not quite worth it, but Groupon will get you over the value threshold.

Boats are locked away in a manner to prevent getting a good view. However, museum provides an extensive presentation of the challenges faced by Lewis and Clark.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of St. Charles, the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site is a treasure trove for history buffs and curious travelers alike. This remarkable complex of four interconnected brick buildings served as Missouri's first capitol from 1821 to 1826 while the permanent structure was being built. The site has been thoughtfully restored between 1961 and 1971, now offering visitors an opportunity to explore eleven rooms that vividly depict life during this pivotal era in Missouri's history.
A fabulous time capsule of life in the 1820s. A wonderful collection of historical pieces in replica rooms that tell the story of Missouri’s early statehood days. Very inexpensive and interesting for all ages. Informative and friendly guides and docents, and a beautiful and peaceful back garden area to enjoy (the garden area is free to enjoy.

Right in the heart of old St. Charles, this set of buildings represents the very first of Missouri's legislative centers. The visitor center is small, but has lots of information to share, and tours of the capitol building are on offer. You're free to roam the grounds, which includes a lovely backyard area with river views. The yard contains gardens and plantings of all kinds, as well as sitting areas and plenty of shade. The first capitol is an important part of Missouri's history, and the historic site preserves it wonderfully!

Awesome historical site. The tour was well worth it, guide was very knowledgeable. So nice to see such an important place restored to it's original character. The visitor's center has an informative video that shows details from the 6 year research and rebuild project. They also have displays upstairs showing Missouri's path to statehood. Tons of period artifacts, and the House and Senate chambers are set up as they would have been in the 1820's. It's not very big, so you can see it all in a couple hours.

Old St. Charles is quaint and full of historical charm. The shops range from cute and quirky to artsy and beyond, with something for everyone, and there are many nice dining options along the entire length of the brick-paved streets.

Museums
Fast Lane Classic Cars, a family-owned establishment founded in 1994, is a must-visit destination for classic car enthusiasts. With three expansive showrooms spanning over 45,000 square feet, it houses an impressive collection of over 180 high-quality trucks, cars, and motorcycles. Beyond being a museum-like showcase for vintage vehicles, it also operates as a dealership where visitors can purchase classic cars and specialty vehicles.
Awesome place to check out some pretty sweet rides, customer service was friendly and informative and there was so much to see. They have a total of 3 show rooms as well as I believe a shop for custom jobs on your own classic vehicle, and they also have lots of cars for sale including this awesome mini Shelby Cobra. There’s a decent size gift shop with lots of cool stuff anywhere from hot wheels to hats, T-Shirts, Keychains etc. They also have a room above (listed in one of the photos below and I believe you can rent it for private events and it’s got a very nice view of some cars and it’s a cool environment overall. Definitely check it out if you or someone you know loves cars too.

Several buildings all filled to the brim with restored classic cars (& some nostalgic memorabilia) available to purchase, but they also leave you be & let you roam freely to peruse even if you're just there to sightsee (& take pictures -- but there webste has VERY extensive detailed photos of each car anyway!)... because browsers often become buyers, no doubt, & then you become a lifelong customer, LOL! They are always available nearby, though, whenever you have Q's, & have all been very friendly. There's also a fun little related gift shop for the car-enthusiast or Route-66 tourist with ice-cold locally-bottled Fitz's soda-pop bottles (with real sugar, not syrups).

Cars here were nice. But last year wanted to buy a car. Writing the review now since I drove by and remembered this place. I guess if they see you are younger than 50 they wont talk to you. Bought a classic elsewhere. I asked to talk to a sales rep and someone came over and it looked like I was a bother to them.

Nature & Parks
Frontier Park is a well-maintained and spacious community event site located near the Missouri River and Historical Main street in St Charles. The park features a large statue of Lewis & Clark, along with picnic tables, grills, and paved biking trails that cater to both leisurely individuals and avid cyclists. Visitors can also enjoy scenic views of the river from various points throughout the park. Additionally, there is a dog-friendly area for pet owners to bring their furry friends along.
I visited there the second week of April and found a beautiful sunny day, along with blooming pink redbud trees. The atmosphere was beautiful.

It's a decent place to take a walk and look at the river, especially if the water is up. There are paved walking paths besides the Katy Trail that runs through the park. There are lots of events held here throughout the year, and Historic Main Street is nearby so you could make a day of it out that way.

I went to meet friends in St. Louis, coming from out of state. My friend lives near this park that she loves, where they have fall market days; unfortunately, those events weren't happening during our visit. We had lunch at Llewellyn's Pub, then enjoyed some ice cream and took a walk around the park to help settle our food—or at least to try to walk it off. We found a lovely bench where we sat and people-watched, which is my favorite activity! 😆 Overall, the town is worth a look.

Good park for walking dogs. Most other parks kick you out at sunset... So in the winter you have very few options for walking the dogs after work. My neighborhood has no sidewalks so I load up the dogs and walk up and down main street/Frontier park and get my steps in and catch Pokemon.

Wine bar
Bella Vino is a charming establishment in St. Charles that specializes in small plates, fine wines from around the world, and innovative cocktails. Housed in a delightful brick-lined building with an inviting patio, this wine and tapas bar is located in the heart of the historic downtown area. The menu features locally made cheeses, house-made flatbreads, and delectable pasta dishes.
Phenomenal spot! Went on a Friday night for our anniversary and it was busy; yet, you never felt forgotten! Great for any date night. From the moment we checked in (we had a reservation so cannot comment on walk-in) we were greeted by friendly staff. Outside they had their fireplace going (cooler May evening) We were seated at a high top (Andrew our server was tremendous!); perfect to view the beauty and charm of the place! Inside was cozy with the brickwork, trim, and warm lighting. Service was quick and the food was superb! Food comes out as it becomes ready Wife started off with a glass of prosecco and the seasonal Strawberry Rhubard Old Fashion for myself (one heck of a cocktail!). For dinner, we started with the Chorizo Stuffed Dates-a MUST! Then had the Sriracha Honey Salmon-well balanced and just a beautiful presentation. We ended with the Seafood Risotto-a wonderfully creamy dish which was cooked and seasoned to perfection.

We sat on the patio and ordered some wine and an appetizer. We enjoyed the Hayes Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon. This Cab is very smooth and dry. I enjoyed the taste and aroma of this wine. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip. It arrived hot and the dip was loaded with spinach which was nice. The pita slices that came with the dip was a little too heavy for me. Our waitress did an excellent job and kept tabs on us.

We stumbled upon this cozy Italian restaurant in downtown St. Charles and were pleasantly surprised! We went for dinner on a Saturday night around 8 PM with a group of four and were seated right away—no wait, which was a huge plus. The ambience was fantastic—warm, inviting, and just lively enough to feel fun without being too loud. We chose to sit outside on the front patio, which was beautifully lit and perfect for enjoying the evening. Food and drinks came out quickly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It ended up being the perfect spot for a relaxed girls' night out. Great service, great atmosphere, and a great find overall. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Me and my wife came for a late dinner and we were pleasantly surprised how good the food and drinks were. Wait time was very minimal. The drink were amazing and delicious. The food was also very good. Thr lighting was very pleasing at night although it might be too dim for older people who have problems seeing. There was one thing we definitely didnt like, and that was the our waitress. Our waitress was the least seen person in and out the whole night we were there. She came out twice in the 1 hour we were there. I was only able to order 1 drink when I could of had at least 3. We were very disappointed with our waitress and hopefully this doesn't reflect the other servers. Aside from this, everything else was good.

Definitely a lowkey vibe with a complimented atmosphere that's perfect for multiple occasions. Kid friendly and accommodating. The staff was over the top friendly and helpful and took the time to work with my food and drink restrictions as I was wanting thing that allied with my dietary needs finding the perfect foods and wine to meet my thoes needs as well as noticing the drop in temp and I didn't have to ask they just moved the heaters to adjust and keep the vibes going. Yes, they have multiple areas for patio dining, and it's a must for the warm weather seasons. Don't pass up this gem in the historical St.Charles area. Also, after you're done eating, it's located in a perfect area to experience the rest of what historical St. Charles has to offer. Stay about that life. You know the vibes💯🎯😌🤌

Great for a date night with girlfriends or your spouse. Enjoyed every glass of wine that I had and the campfire fondue was so fun! The salmon kabobs were also a good choice. It’s the perfect combination of a quaint, intimate place with unique food options as well as choices for a picky eater. Plus all the drinks and wines looked and sounded delicious.

American restaurant
Lewis & Clark's Restaurant is a spacious and inviting venue that perfectly captures the essence of American dining with a delightful Creole twist. Nestled in a historic building, this three-level establishment boasts an outdoor patio on the third floor, offering stunning views of Main Street and the river.
What a quaint old town feel to this very unique restaurant. There's a quiet cozy dining area that can be reserved for 12 to 14 guest right inside on the first floor. Or you can enjoy our beautiful Missouri weather on the 3rd floor balcony, overlooking Main Street of Old Town St. Charles. The Gumbo had a slight twist that made it a little thicker but none the less delicious. The Blackened Cod Tacos were very tasty. Each plate had a Cajun heat to it...tasty but with a kick. The service was impeccable. Our server was kind, helpful, patient and on top of things. Highly recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner for 2 or 12. Very enjoyable.

Great food, good flavor, soups of the day was broccoli and cheese, teriyaki chicken with pineapple had good flavor, the stuffed mushrooms were really good. And a very nice size. Not the usual very tiny stuffed mushrooms that I normally get at other places. The spinach artichoke dip what's good on flavor, but the texture was a little crunchy for my taste. The spicy salmon was also very good, cooked well. Overall a good experience. I kept hearing some kind of rumbling noise, I was on the second story. Something in the restaurant was making a rumble sound. Other than that everything was great.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — the perfect blend of cozy and upscale. We enjoyed a relaxed vibe, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. But let’s talk about the food — absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The presentation was beautiful, and you could tell a lot of care went into each plate. I highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip — it was easily one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. This place is a gem, and I can’t wait to go back. Whether you’re here for a special occasion or just a great meal, you won’t be disappointed.

Loved it! Went in there to have the eggplant stack that I had heard so much about but then noticed the 40th anniversary throwback menu and had to try the chimichanga. It did not disappoint! The rice and beans that came with it were seasoned perfectly, and the chimichanga itself was stuffed full of flavorful meat. Such generous portions that I had to bring half of mine home. We still felt we had to try to spread pudding, which was very good, but we also ended up bringing most of that home for later. Service was fantastic can the restaurant itself has a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I had a bowl of potato bacon soup. I wasn’t overly hungry and it sounded good. It was too thick, pee warm, with a film over the top. It did not taste very good. My daughter had spicy potato skins and my grandson had a mushroom cheese burger with fries. They weren’t impressed either. Pricy compared to the GREAT food I ate there in the past too! Doubt I will go back. Might suggest they use armless chairs on the outside balcony, it was difficult getting into the chair because the lady at the other table was out too far, she made sure to bang into my chair as she got out, i could not move in any further.

American restaurant
Tony's On Main Street is a popular spot in St. Charles, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for both sports enthusiasts and food lovers. This eatery serves up a diverse selection of Italian and American dishes in a spacious setting. Whether you're craving a perfectly cooked ribeye, flavorful fettuccine, or mouthwatering cheese garlic bread, Tony's has got you covered. The restaurant is renowned for its top-tier steaks and seafood options, ensuring there's something to please every palate.
I recently celebrated my birthday in October at Tony’s On Main, and it was the perfect setting for a special night out with family. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between fine dining and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. We started with the nachos, which were loaded with fresh, flavorful toppings and were the perfect kickoff to our meal. For the main course, we each ordered steaks topped with shrimp, and they were nothing short of exceptional – perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful, historic building, which added to the experience. After our meal, we couldn’t resist the homemade desserts, which were as incredible as the rest of the food. To end the evening, we took a peaceful walk by the river, just steps from the restaurant. It was a perfect ending to a memorable evening. I highly recommend Tony’s On Main to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a casual, yet refined setting. It’s clear why they’re rated the #1 Steakhouse in St. Charles – they truly deserve it!

It was a little cold the air was blowing right on us so bring a sweater. Out server was awesome. The food was all good. We split the white nachos and they were just fine. The meal came with bread and honey butter. My husband loved his steak. I got the house pasta which came with shrimp which was a ton of food - I got 2 leftover meals from it. I would probably get it again next time.

I made reservations and we got there are little earlier, we had to wait some which wasnt a big deal. We were seated in nice booth, kind of in a busy spot but it was ok. It seemed romantic and private still. We came to celebrate a birthday and to have a nice dinner. We both got the steak Alexander, which was beyond good. The meat melted in your mouth and they covered it with the local cheese called provel. Also included mushrooms and onions on the meat too. I did a side of Au gratain potatoes. You could tell it was all freshly made and unique too. It came with a fresh salad and fresh bread as well. We also got the chicken nachos appetizer for the birthday guy. They were ok, i don't know if I'd get them if they werent part of the birthday. I think everything tasted great. I loved the atmosphere and our waitress was excellent and very attentive. There is also a happy hour that you can sit outside on the little porch area up top. I wanted to do that but we didnt get there in time. But I would try the happy hour if I was you! St. Charles has a cute little downtown area and this is one of the great restaurants there. I'd go there again.

My husband and I dined here 8/20/25..After waiting 45min to be seated, when were told 20 min, the hostess said she forgot about us She sat us in the back room by the kitchen.The air was blowing directly on our table.🥶..We placed our orders... let's just say the food was less than great the marinara sauce for the toasted ravioli seemed watered down and lacked taste. The house salad had very little cheese on it, the cheese is what makes the house salad. I ordered a steak sandwich with the skinny fries. The fries had been sitting for a while under a heat lamp and were super hard. I asked for fresh fries and they were tasteless. My husband's waffle fries were equally tasteless. Both of our sandwiches were great. The service was just okay. When folks come to a restaurant and pay their hard earned money for food, the expectation is to at least be comfortable a for all the food to be great especially for pain almost $100! Tony's on Main is a staple in the St Charles Community. Your food and service should be excellent for all those who come to your restaurant.

I liked my hanger steak salad. It was delicious and filling. The salmon was the real star of the show. It was cooked perfectly nutty and crunchy on top. Prasino is a good choice for something a little different and delicious.

This place has such a great vibe! I love the fine dining part-it’s lovely and great for conversations but the casual bar area is also lots of fun. The sushi was tasty but the steak sandwich was just too huge to be eaten. I had to dismantle it to eat it but the beef tasted fantastic and the bread was homemade..

Prasino is a standout spot with a cozy yet modern vibe that’s perfect for any occasion. The menu offers a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and their drinks are spot on. Sundays here are especially a vibe, making it a great spot for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and a great atmosphere!

We've done several work dinners here. Also birthday dinners. Food is good, but I don't know why they choose to slather kale all over the plates. Garlic hummus was fantastic. Brick chicken is delicious. Burgers are great, and cooked perfectly. Not a fan of the steak, mussels, or birria tacos. Service is always wonderful.

The food and cocktails were great, table service I’ve had has been Kay nothing over the top memorable. Bar service we basically felt ignored. It was not busy, we were the only guests at the bar. Instead I saw her conversing with employees, which I have no problem with. However, it was just a missed opportunity to create regular customers or inform customers of specials or upcoming events. The opportunity was missed to create long lasting clients versus a one time one and out customer. Food and drinks were great, the service was just okay, if that.

Went solo and was given one of the best tables out on the patio. My server was super cool and kind while being very helpful with suggestions of appetizers, entrees and dessert. I had the shrimp as an appetizer which was okay but the filet was spot on. The sauce that accompanied the steak was a bit salty but very flavorful. The cut was temped perfectly! The best part of the meal was the pineapple coconut crème brûlée! So good! Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was upbeat but also relaxing. I will return to give some other dishes a chance.

Italian restaurant
Fratelli's Ristorante is a delightful bar and pizza parlor that serves up traditional Italian comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere. Known for its thin crust pizzas crafted with their signature homemade tomato sauce, the menu boasts an impressive array of classic Italian dishes. Standout items include their chicken and eggplant parmigianas, which are sure to impress any palate. This hidden gem in St.
We got the roast beef sandwich and pasta con broccoli. The roast beef sandwich was delicious was super good and a big fan of their seasoned fries. The pasta I've never had before and was blown away. Pasta was perfectly cooked, sauce wasn't watered down stuck the the shell noodles. Shannon our server answered all our questions, no one let our soda glass get near empty before a new glass was next to it. Loved this whole experience

Great vibe and great pasta! Recommend reservations on the weekend because it gets busy. Pizza for the kids worked well for my wife and I to try somewhere new! Service was a little slow but not bad for a Saturday night. Only three beers on draft but the Amber Bock was delicious!

What an unexpected surprise!!! Came here on a Sunday evening for dinner because…………..I was hungry duh. Lol No drinks or appetizers this time. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan with broccoli and a house salad. The house salad with house dressing was delicious! Not sure the cheese used on it but wow! It wasn’t anything fancy but somehow it just worked. I ordered broccoli as a side to the chicken parm instead of pasta because I thought it would be apart of the dish but that wasn’t the case. Either way no worries because the broccoli was hot and fresh. I love love love chicken parm and this place didn’t disappoint. Nice size chicken cutlet with a flavorful red sauce. Finished it off with the gelato. Wasn’t planning on here for dinner but I’ll definitely be back. Sliced bread with spreadable butter House salad with house dressing (cherry tomatoes 🍅, olive, sliced red onions Chicken Parmesan with broccoli as a side Gelato for dessert

First time eating at this place and it was awesome. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Very clean, quiet, lots of seating & acceptable amount of space between tables. The menu has a lot of delicious choices. The prices were a little more than I would find acceptable but considering I was there for a special occasion, the price didn't matter much. The wine list had a variety of wines and prices weren't too bad for a glass. I was happy to have a free tasting of a wine before I got a glass. I ordered Tutto Mare and it was to-die-for delicious! I thought the price of $25 was a bit much considering the amount on the plate but it still filled me up. Elsewhere I might have paid $15 for that much. I wish I'd have ordered dessert to go. We got there around 4:30 on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available. By the time we left an hour later, they were starting to get busy. I was surprised how busy they were getting for a weekday dinner hour. I highly recommend this place if you really like pasta dishes. Strip mall and restaurant entrance/interior are easily wheelchair accessible This is located in a decent size strip mall so parking is a little competitive with the other businesses nearby, including handicap spaces.

Was on a road trip stopping at O’Fallon, MO when I found this restaurant with good reviews and decided to check it out. I didn’t had a reservation but hostess were very nice and able to quickly accommodate. Table service waitress (Kimberley) was outstanding with her service, with extreme care and attention to detail. Food taste is as good as the plate presentation. Highly recommend this place.

We had an incredible experience at Fratelli’s, everything from start to finish was perfect. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious; you can really tell they care about quality. But what made the night truly stand out was our server, Preston. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely, one of the best servers we've ever had. It’s rare to get service that genuine and professional these days. Preston really went above and beyond!
