Best Seasonal Restaurants in Edwardsville

Scratch Gourmet Kitchen continues to impress! From the incredible Valentine’s Day menu to the outstanding service, every detail was top-notch. The food was perfectly executed, with a fantastic selection that made it impossible to choose just one favorite—so I tried everything, and it did not disappoint. Tyler and his team create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend for a date night or any occasion where you want truly exceptional food and service!

We absolutely loved everything on the Menu from the Scallops to Steak Tenderloin and the sides were all prepared very well. The restaurant service was wonderful especially considering it was Valentines Day. A little lighter side music would add to the ambiance is about our only negative comment. Light jazz, classical, easy listening or piano or instrumental. We will be back and highly recommend.

Always wonderful when dinning at the Hereford House. Great food, friendly staff, and a great selection. The dinner for 2 on Valentines day was delicious. Waiter Austin was attentive and fun.

Another delicious visit to this hidden gem. You could order with your eyes closed and still love your choices. Because it’s a small room, people can choose to focus only on their group or enjoy one another’s company. We met a young couple having lunch there for the first time and exchanged our thoughts on favorite dishes. A lovely Valentine’s Day experience.

I had the grilled tuna as my main course and it was perfectly seasoned. The purple Japanese sweet potato really brought everything together! My girlfriend had the lobster tail with pasta and bacon, and she loved it too. The pasta had a sweet aftertaste that was delightful! She also did some wine sampling of the sweet wines. She liked them but for $15 you’ll only get 3 wines that are 1/3 full. We both then tried a tart pie that we didn’t really enjoy. The first bite tasted like raw orange peel, it was very bitter. The orange peel taste stays around but isn’t as extreme as the first bite. So if you don’t like tart, don’t get their tart pie (not the actual name but forgot the name).
