I was disappointed with the salad I ordered at Sunday brunch . There were no avocados, no eggs and a very small amount of blue cheese, all of which was listed on the menu. I should have sent it back. If they don't have all the items for the salad, they should say so. The waiter we had was great.

Came to Marion Street for brunch on a Sunday morning. The waiter we had was almost useless. He could not answer simple questions about the menu items, stating he hardly ever works the breakfast shift so wasn't familiar with the items. That just isn't acceptable! Learn the menu! The food itself was very good. I had the frittata, one friend got the California Benedict, and another got an omelet. One diner in my group is GF and there were plenty of options. I would go back but maybe for the lunch or dinner service and hope for a better waiter.

Our food was good, but it was a bummer b/c I had out of town guests who were stressed about needing to leave by a certain time and we got served after two other tables sat down after us and our service was slow. It ended up being stressful to leave later than planned after I had set a reservation for when it opened at 11:30am.

Had high hopes as I've driven past numerous times....it failed miserably. Wait staff was uninformed, asked questions about cheese and charcuterie and was read the menu. No insight to product. Asked about wine to choose the right bottle, again read the wine list. No knowledge. We had a later reso and we're rushed out the door. Was asked multiple times is we wanted to place an order for more food, before we had gotten the first item, which was changed without our knowledge because they ran out. Kitchen staff out looking to see what else was needed before the first order was served. First time visiting here and last time! Don't waste your time and money, better options available.

Having been here before, the changes made the experience less than exciting. Menu changes were disappointing, service was relatively slow for a Saturday night.

A great brunch menu. Had a mini-reunion with a couple of old friends, and we all had great brunch meals. I love eggs Benedict, and they have a "California" version that replaces the Canadian bacon with avocado and tomato. Highly recommend. The sauce was delicious. Very few people on this Saturday morning, so it was very quiet. Service was a little slow, but the waitress explained that everything is made to order so it takes longer. Makes sense if the result is good, and it was.

My ratings compare this restaurant to Chicago eateries, which means this place is very, very good. They have stepped up their game in the last few months and it shows. Although I don't know if it will attract folks from Chicago, it certainly will keep Oak Parkers from having to travel to the city to get a good meal. It is one of the top 2-3 places in Oak Park.
