Best Casual Restaurants in Oak Park

Excellent service, food, and a fantabulous Birthday Celebration!!

Food is exceptional. It’s our local go to whenever we have friends in town or we want a good quality and nice dinner out. Food is consistently good. Wine lost is extensive and fairly priced (1/2 priced bottles on Mondays). The bear salad with goat cheese is always a favorite. The pastas are perfectly prepared and the meat dishes are flavorful and satisfying. Good food, done well. After writing this review I’m thinking we’re going to have to dine again there this weekend!!

It was perfect. A cold night, and not crowded in the restaurant. Our server (new to us) was very good. I wish I could remember his name (hair pulled back, earrings). We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. We do not like the bacon on it and the kitchen made it for us without that. It is so good. We both ordered the mushroom & cheese gnocchi. We'd never had it before and it did not disappoint. It is an excellent addition to the menu. I usually get the Moroccan beef which is superb. Again, the gnocchi was exactly perfect. Just a lovely evening.

This was my first time. It was a wonderful experience. Carlos was warm and welcoming. He took such good care of us. The food was excellent. I am going back many more times.

Both our appetizer, a shrimp dish, and our main course, chicken thighs, were delicious and the service provided by Alex added to the pleasure of our evening.
