My favorite restaurant in Oak Park. Charming interior, live music, delicious food, attentive servers. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We had calamari, brie crostinis, rib eye steak and cheesecake. All spectacular.
Like it's name suggest, is a Gem. Service was slow but worth the wait. The brussel sprouts looked and smelled delicious. Table next to ours had them. We had lunch but any of the entrees were available. Was a good find choosen randomly.
I mean - it was fine - I wanted a "nice" sandwich and they had one and it was good (BLT - bacon was perfect! Rest was textbook. Fries were tasteless.) But service was slow and uninterested in a solo diner sitting at the bar. I had to ask for almost everything and no one talked to me. I think it's more of a "make reservations to have lunch with your mother" kind of place than a real hidden gem.
