   Marion Street used to be so much better before they revamped it. I've gone a few times after and my server never seems to know anything about cheese or wine. I have asked for recommendations and the server looks like a deer in the headlights. Really sad because I used to love this place.

   The restaurant was pleasant, the food was fine (how far wrong can you go with a cheese omelet), and the service was attentive. I only rated it a good because they were out of regular coffee on a Sunday afternoon and I was never offered a refill on my iced tea. The tomatillo salsa that was served with my friend's huevos rancheros and that I requested on the side for my omelet was dull at best. These are small details that a good restaurant shouldn't let happen.

   The service was absolutely off the last two times we dined there. One was a dinner date; the waitress clearly didn't know the food, the wine, and it was almost embarrassing for the prices that you are paying to dine there. The second time was for brunch, and we waited over 45 minutes to receive our food. The restaurant was not that busy either. We waited about 15 minutes to get our coffee and drinks and it was just a disappointment.

   I've been wanting to try this place for brunch for awhile, and wasn't disappointed. The menu has a good variety of savory and sweet, and everything came out wonderfully. Sitting outside was nice, though there can be occasional street / train noise, so expect that going in. Otherwise it is not too loud. They've got great cheese, wine, and beer selections for purchase outside of meals as well, so be sure to give those a look.

   we had a very odd and disappointing experience. i received a call the day before requesting a call back "as soon as possible" to confirm our reservation - which i did. then i was surprised to see that there were 4 other diners in the entire place when we arrived - i thought the urgency to confirm was related to the high demand to eat at that time? anyway - i ordered the california benedict, specifically because i love avocado. when we got our meal, i got a benedict, but the server said "oh we are out of avocado, so they just put asparagus on it, we hope that's ok". it wasn't asparagus, it was leeks, which i don't like. i do not understand why, if you know you're out of something, you don't tell me the second i order so i can decide if i want to make another choice or not. makes no sense at all. so i sent it back to get something else because i don't like leeks and they were shredded all over the benedict. so, my friend ate her breakfast alone, then i ate mine alone 15 minutes later. not the way i planned on our breakfast going. there was no apology for any of this, and they acted like they were gracious in removing the charge for the initial breakfast. won't be back.

   Though our server was friendly and attentive and kept checking for our order to be ready we were disappointed in the kitchen prep. Our lunch for two on a non-busy day ( 1 entree salad and 1 house grilled cheese) took over 30 minutes from order to arrival at our table. The salad was fresh and VERY good but the grilled sandwich was barely cooked (cheese was mostly melted but not a hint of golden on the bread.) The manager of the day apologized for the delay and offered to remake the sandwich (after telling us the first one burned hence the delay in serving our lunch, and they were short handed) but we declined figuring they were 2 (poorly cooked) for 2. The manager then offered a free desert. The better offer would have been to comp the sandwich. We do not live in the area but did visit this restaurant a year ago and had a very good experience that time. Hopefully the kitchen glitch this visit was a temporary problem.

   Pleasant dinning experience for lunch/brunch. Always an interesting food experience. We really enjoy dinning there and will continue to support this establishment

   MS Cheese Market has been a favorite place in Oak Park for several years. The remodel/reconfiguration is very nice, although the tables are a little close together, at least where we were seated. On the menu, it seemed like maybe the cheese selections have been cut back a bit to just 4 different flights, each with a theme. We picked the French. They were delicious and a nice balance, but it took entirely too long for the cheese to find its way to our table. We had only begun to enjoy them when our entrees arrived, basically preempting that experience. Perhaps the main disappointment was the exceptionally slow service. In fact, had the manager not come over, I'm not sure we would have been offered a cocktail before dinner. It seemed like maybe some of the other guests were having that issue as well. The fish entrée my wife ordered was very good. I had the evening special, a tenderloin preparation, which was OK, but not that great. We didn't bother with dessert, but were a little surprised by the amount of the bill. There are better values with better service in town. Not quite up to the standard I would expect.

    This was my first visit since the restaurant closed for renovations and reopened. The menu is all new. The layout of the dining room feels a little new. While our dinners were tasty, the service was very poor because there were not enough servers. When we spoke after dinner to the manager he lamely apologized for being short staffed. However he made no visible effort during the meal to control the problems and make us understand what was going on. I feel that a neighborhood gem closed and has reopened as something nearer to mediocre. Not because of the food, but because of the service.
