Mary's fit the bill - Crab cakes and smoked salmon appetizer- yes 2 apps - Swordfish for a main course with asparagus, chocolate something for dessert , after dinner coffee and a couple of wonderful white wines - all of which were very good. It's a bit pricey but worth it as a treat once in a while. Also a guy that looked like Col Sanders was there. More...

First, make no mistake the food is delicious. But when you are paying $35+ for an entree then I feel you are allowed to expect exceptional. And quite frankly there were some very unexceptional moments in our dining experience.To start, the atmosphere is decidedly wanting. It is almost quirky, but several glaring issues make it feel rather awkward. You are eating a delicious meal in either a room the size and scope of a small gymnasium enjoying the scenic view of the neon lights of the Huck's gas station across the street, or in a room barely large enough to be an office right by the front door.We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation, and they were able to seat us almost immediately. Our first server promptly appeared at the table, clearly frazzled, and accidently poured water on the table, knocked my wife's glass over, and then knocked her spoon to the floor. He apologized, cleaned up the table, and replaced her spoon with a clean one. For some reason, they have decided that having a menu, wine list, or any sort of literature on the food wouldn't be fitting. You literally have to sit and listen to your server verbally list the options they have for drinks, appetizers, soups, salads, and entrées. The novelty of this is very short lived as you have to patiently wait and try to remember and rank the food and drink that sound appetizing to you. Apparently they also don't carry a surplus of either glasses or silverware. When I ordered a second beer the server apologized and said they had no cold glasses available at that time. Also one of my forks and one of my spoons were so dirty you could literally see and feel the stuck-on food that didn't get cleaned off from the last patron. Again quick apologies from our server as they addressed the issue.Culinarily, the food was well prepared. Everything was well seasoned and tasty. There are some odd choices on what is included on the plates though. Every entrée came with a large slice of muskmelon, regardless of what you ordered. Also, our lobster ravioli came with a slice of pineapple on the plate. It was a jarring and incoherent addition to a delicate appetizer. The seafood was perfectly prepared and tasted fresh. I had the swordfish which was one of the best preparations I've ever had. Beautiful texture and rich flavor was enough to right any wrong. The veal was tender and flavorful, but the flavors weren't quite as balanced as the swordfish.Overall, I give it a solid 4 out of 5. I do want to reiterate that this is some of the best food in the area. But when you are charging $150+ per meal you better bring your A-game and sadly I feel that Mary's ultimately fell short of that mark. If you are looking for the perfect dining experience for a special occasion I would recommend making a trip to either St. Louis or Nashville. More...

Their steaks can be cut with a fork. Crab legs are pre-split for you! They serve seasonal drinks from local fruit - i.e. Peach Daiquiris - and they are awesome. I have a couple of friends who swear by their margaritas. If you can handle it, dessert is always a treat here - flourless chocolate cake or seasonal bread pudding - both are great! Not really a dress code per se, but dress nicely. The menu is recited by the waiter - Mike is the best! - so pay attention. Ask questions - they are extremely knowledgeable about their menu! I'll be back again and again. More...

Wonderful experience. Very very slow paced & there is no menu the server tells you all the options from appetizers to desserts. Had the most delicious peach daiquiri made with local peaches. The warm croissant with the entree was also a really nice touch. Expensive but worth every penny! More...

The food is amazing, Trent is an awesome waiter, more than a waiter. The atmosphere is very home like. If you are near Herein,IL you have to eat here. You will not be disappointed. My family and I have tried a variety of their plates and have not been disappointed yet. And the serving portions, you will not leave hungry. More...
