We were celebrating the holidays with some wonderful friends. Our server was Suzanne who was a joy, extremely friendly. Unfortunately, our friend’s steak was over salted, it did not taste good. Suzanne noticed that he wasn’t eating and questioned him. She immediately took the steak back and had a new one prepared. She was kind enough to not charge us for our desserts or my friends glass of wine.

Couldn’t have had a better experience, we had our two year old with us, who was well taken care of and we had no issues with them accommodating him. Food was amazing, service was excellent. Highly recommend

Excellent evening. I would say if a server has a large table and smaller tables would be good for the manager to help out. The smaller tables often suffer from the lack of availability of the server. We skipped dessert as it took too long between courses. On a positive note, saved us calories. Food was outstanding!

This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
