    Highlight of the meal, which everyone in the group felt was the best dish, was the Pan Roasted Jumbo Scallops, perhaps the best scallops I have ever had in my life. The oysters were also very good. I however have had better escargot. I prefer when escargot is left in the shell like a mussel or clam. Very nice atmosphere. Nice area of Oak Park with brick townhomes and buildings and wrought-iron fences.

    We had a wonderful, fixed price 4 course meal and a bottle of wine. Each course was wonderful (8 in total since we each had different course). The service was fantastic, we never touched the bottle of wine, someone was always ready to make certain we had enough in our glass. The same for water. It was a wonderful evening.

    Has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! Came here for restaurant week and was able to snag a reservation sitting at the bar! Between two people we got the two glasses of wine, Brussels sprouts, Muhammara, cauliflower kebabs, short ribs, carrot cake, and date cake. Everything was delicious, and certainly a lot of food for a restaurant week deal. We had to pack a lot to go! Brussels sprouts: 8/10, came out fast and was likely prepared before we ordered which makes sense for restaurant week (but still delicious) Muhammara: 9.5/10 (absolutely delicious and unique) Cauliflower kebabs: 9/10 (the dates on the skewer add a sweetness to the cauliflower, so delicious) Short ribs: 9/10 (melt in your mouth) Carrot cake: 7.5/10 (not the biggest fan of carrot cake but really good and the icing was perfect) Date cake: 9.5/10 (had a crème brûlée vibe to the top of the cake, it was delicious and not too sweet)
