Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“We hosted a party at the Patina Wine Bar in Mt Prospect last weekend and cannot say enough great things about this place. The staff is so wonderful! Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. The food was all so delicious and I could’ve stayed hours later trying all the wonderful wines they had.“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“

“Great food and staff. Clean.“

“great food and great staff.“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“Stopped in today and was hoping to see the owner. I met him when Violet’s first opened. Maria was there today. I really enjoyed our conversation. 😀“

“What a great local spot! Love hanging here with a group of friends and playing pool and darts! Regulars make me feel right at home, as well as the friendly bartenders! highly recommend!“

“Love this place, not enough to move to Illinois but if I did, I would be a regular. Thanks to our server/bartender for a great afternoon. We will be back when next in the area.“

“Cheers. This is a quintessential dive bar where everybody eventually knows your name. A good place to be alone or regale with friends. I’ve visited at least a half dozen times and the experience has been fine. Trish and the other bartenders have been attentive and quite friendly. I’ll be back time and time again.“

“The food is fire with an extensive eastern euro & Asian fusion menu. Def need to come back to try more of the items. But the Balkan salad, Phili roll and lamb chop mangal was delish. Loved the eye for interior detail. I think they throw parties here and def need to check that out next time“

“Absolutely love this place especially when Rosario is working, she is very friendly and very helpful. She is always making sure you have a drink or need anything. I really enjoy my time being there when she is there . She makes this place feel so much fun!“

“Fun place to be very friendly and good music.“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“Always had a great experience there. Will, the bartender, is great!!!“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“what more can y ask for in a dive bare?“

“Atmosphere was fun and festive, but with only two bartenders, it took forever to get drinks. I stood at the bar with money waving in my hand for over fifteen minutes. Staff was friendly and the fish looked clean. Typical noise level for a bar on a Saturday night with live music.
Thankfully, our friends got here early and held a table for us, otherwise it was standing room only.“

“👍 great place. Stop by and make some friends“

“Nice place with good food and good drink.“
