The parking garage is huge and it tells you how many spots are left as well as which ones are open (green light) or are for those who can have the handicap spots (blue light). Just make sure you are at the right theater bc there are 2 AMCs in this Oakbrook Center (AMC 4 and 12). Just be careful. The seats recline and are very comfortable. It's not a dine in theater. The theater is nice, modern, and has all the stations for food, drinks, condiments, and a rest area w tables before you go inside to the auditoriums. But the parking lot is big and confusing and the 2 theaters make it more confusing. I would say combine them into 1 to reduce the confusion.

The room was good....although sitting in the back row extending my seat out when people came to get past therr was no room and I had to retract the seat each time......popcorn was ok. We checkin was easy and theater was crowded......

Bathrooms are not tended to at all. Other patrons have complained and said the managers don't care. They have tried to ask before for help. It doesn't change. Here's a photo to get an idea of it.

In my vast moviegoing experience, this is by far the best AMC location we've visited in the Midwest (at the time I'm leaving this review). It's hard to top the AMCs of the Chicago suburbs (unless you're visiting the east or west coast). We were visiting the Oakbrook area and popped in here on a Friday afternoon for a 12pm showing of the latest Thor movie. Upon entering AMC we were greeted by our ticket taker and headed to the concession area. (Buy your tickets online or via the app ahead of time so you don't have to wait in line.) The concession area was clean and well-stocked. They did have some signs posted that mentioned supply issues and being out-of-stock on some items. Not sure what they were because there was so much to choose from. I'm used to the AMC paper buckets for large popcorn orders, but they didn't have them at this location. Just large bags. We didn't get a refill. The movie theater itself was extremely clean and all seats reclined. This was our first time in a theater where all the seats reclined. Nice. There were about 20 people total in the theater. No one sitting next to us or in front/behind us which was also nice. Sound and picture quality were all excellent, too. One thing I really appreciated as we were leaving was the fact that all guests cleaned up after themselves. Except for the occasional popcorn kernel there wasn't too much on the ground that needed to be swept up by staff. This is quite a stark difference from the lazy individuals in my home state who can't seem to figure out how to dispose of their trash after a movie. Use the mall parking ramp and take the escalator up to the entrance of AMC. Free parking. Highly recommend if you're in the western 'burbs.

I recently went to the AMC IMAX theater, and honestly, it was such a disappointment. The experience felt more like a letdown than the premium outing I expected. For starters, the theater isn't being maintained at all--some of the chairs were torn and felt uncomfortable, which really takes away from the whole "immersive experience" they promise. Overall, it feels like AMC is just coasting by on their name without putting in the effort to deliver the quality their customers deserve. Definitely makes me think twice about going back for an IMAX screening anytime soon even though i am a Premiere member. And whats worse is the annual price is going up 2$.

The recliners are spacious and cozy and the screen in our small theatre was surprisingly big!! Parking is free, but I accidentally parked really far away. I had a hard time navigating the correct location and entrance, and ended up sprinting .8 miles across/around the mall since my GPS took me to the old, closed theatre. But once I found this place (enter via escalators in purple parking structure) it was a good experience. Except for the concessions. My friend had bought us popcorn before I arrived ($10) and I wanted to grab a soda, so I went to stand in line, behind nearly 20 other people. There are 2 lines: one for VIP folks, one for normal folks like me. My line barely budged and I was afraid I'd miss the start of the film, so I bailed on my Diet Coke, sadly. The popcorn was really good. Matinee shows are a bit cheaper. I think I paid $8.75 each, plus convenience fee to book in advance. You get to select your seat location, which was a nice perk. Our theatre was nearly full, so I'd suggest booking in advance.

Yes they do, but many times I've been there... There was no one to serve any alcoholic drinks, only bottled beer.

Great place to hang out and mingle. Ladies night or a date night. Had the white Sangria is citrus and refreshing, which was really delicious to have in a warm/hot day. Shared Cordero Asado, lamb lollipops, was expecting small lamb on skewers per the tapas description on the menu. Was juicy and cooked perfectly. Didn't really need the sauce. Also shared the chicken and mushroom empanadas. These were very mini. So there was more dough than filling. It would have been better to offer 3 normal size. Paella de Mariscos is seafood flavor with mussel clam and shrimp. The pan was really small vs wide and shallow. So the rice on the bottom was burnt black and had the burnt taste throughout the whole dish. Didn't get the crispy rice at the bottom.

Your GPS will take you to Cheesecake and tell you that you've arrived, but you don't see a stand alone restaurant named El Tapeo. Just enter the hotel and you will find it! It's a lovely setting with floor to ceiling windows facing the shopping campus. It feels upscale, and the server staff behave as such; but it is not a snobby, uncomfortable ambiance. Business casual fits well here, and the sound level is lower than average. The tapas are first rate - delicious and well presented. They had run out of octopus and lamb when we dined there, so we will try again another time. Sangria in a pitcher was just the right amount for the four of us. This place is a gem!

One of the best surprises for anyone with a gluten sensitivity is that all of their happy hour drinks are gluten-free, which immediately took the stress out of ordering from the separate menu. While the menu does not explicitly mark items as gluten-free, the staff is extremely knowledgeable, and we discovered that a great variety of happy hour options can easily be made gluten-free. I kicked things off with the Roja sangria before moving on to the frozen trio. Although the Paloma was not freezing properly at the time, the bartender was wonderfully accommodating and expertly crafted a custom margarita using those delicious Paloma flavors instead. My trio featured the coconut agave margarita, a Paloma made with the classic margarita base in guava passionfruit, and a spicy mango margarita. For food, we started by splitting the dip trio, paired with chips that are safely made in a dedicated fryer. We also ordered tacos on corn tortillas, sampling both the chicken pastor and the traditional carnitas, and every single bite of the food was delicious. Although they do not carry any gluten-free desserts, the server offered the birthday girl one of her choosing. Between the accommodating service and the stellar food and drinks, the entire gathering was a huge success.

This is the lounge/restaurant at The Lodge, the Hyatt hotel set in a nice rustic area of Oak Brook…read more I stayed at The Lodge last night and was happy to find a solid, healthy delicious dinner at a very reasonable price. This space had a sports bar feel, with 4-5 huge TVs playing sports- mostly women's soccer and the All-Star baseball game. Plus overhead music. So it's a bit loud, but to be expected. Outdoor seating is a nice option, although it was 90 degrees last night so I stayed inside. Service was exceptional, my favorite part of the night. I was seated immediately and folks came by with menu, utensils, water refills, condiments, and several people just checking to make sure I was having a good time and had everything I needed. Really liked the vibe. People were chatting, happy, all very light and welcoming. I travel a ton for work and this hotel restaurant stands out in terms of service, quality of food, and atmosphere. It's not like a place to go on a date, but for a hotel restaurant/lounge this one scores.

Why do we stray away!…read more Consistency is extremely important to me as a returning customer to any restaurant. Service & the quality of food will always be at the top of my list. After venturing out to the city and having a failed experience, we went to Gibson's in OakBrook. High five all around. The restaurant was extremely busy as it was a Saturday night, and we were greeted with a smile by their amazing hostess, who was able to see us immediately. The servers are extremely knowledgeable, but also have excellent taste in wine selections! We ordered the crab meat avocado for starter in. This was the first time we ever tried this particular appetizer. Ladies and gentlemen, it did not disappoint! My only regret is there was non-left to take home for dinner. We had the New York strip, lamb chops (Greek style),mashed potatoes,brussel sprouts and elote for sides. Zero complaints, excellent all around. The steak was cooked to perfection and the lamb chops just melt in your mouth. Even though we barely made a dent, we ordered the carrot cake to take home!

Located in what used to be Anthony's, the Italian steakhouse, the ambiance is actually quite nice- but it's the service that needs some work. We stopped in after a meeting in the hotel for a drink with a small group. The space is nice- leather chairs clustered around tables in front of a fake fireplace. Murals on the walls, and a bar that stretches across the one wall. Even though there wasn't a big crowd on the night we were there- service was slow. We finally walked up to the bar to get our drinks. We ordered a snack of some chips and guac but it was disappointing as there wasn't enough guac to go with the quantity of chips provided. If you like a good martini- they've got them here- but no blue cheese olives which is a must in my book! It's a bar in a suburban hotel. I didn't expect much and that's what I got.

My sister and I were looking for a place we could meet for a glass of wine. I had some online gift…read morecertificates to use after Christmas and a quick search of that website lead me to The Den. It looked harmless and we were mainly going for wine and to catch up with each other so I bought the certificate and off we went. The Den is located inside the Oak Brook Doubletree hotel and there is no indication from outside the hotel where the restaurant is so I punted as far as parking was concerned. Luckily, I picked the correct side of the hotel. At first glance, the inside of the restaurant is a little dated, but it was clean, cozy, and quiet. I was directed to pick any seat I wanted. Looking over the menu there were some affordable starters/small plates, and a decent selection of entrees (@ 5 non beef and 5 beef). The wine list was nothing special either in information or choice. I was going to start with a Pinot Noir, and asked about a particular Wine maker as nothing else was listed on the sheet besides the wine maker, appellation, variety and vintage. I knew that wine maker had several labels of Pinot Noir so I asked the server which they were pouring. He came back and said it wasn't listed on the bottle. I guess I could have asked to see the bottle, but it just seemed like too much work for me too. I went with it and it was fine. Started with a Caesar salad with no croutons. Not only were there no croutons, but the listed "crispy prosciutto" and cheese was missing. Whatever. I was STARVING and ate it without complaint. Next on the list was a cheese plate. The cheese plate was listed as having brie, blue and aged white cheddar, along with grapes, crackers and walnuts. What we got was a young yellow cheddar, some smoked gouda, and boursin cheese spread with crackers and dried cranberries. Again, i was using a gift certificate so I didn't want to make a fuss, but my sister and I brought it up to the server that basically nothing that was described on the plate was actually on the plate. Also mentioned the salad mistake too (might as well go for broke). He apologize and went back to the kitchen and see what was up. When he came back he apologize as he noticed the salad was incorrect but didn't do anything about it, and he also said that there were two different menus going on and the chef was working off a different menu. He then brought out a much bigger plate with a little brie, some blue cheese, what I think was a mild mexican cheese, and something that tasted like minibabybel. Still no cheddar. We ordered more wine, and got some olives and I ordered a rib-eye. The server suggested I get the all-you-can-eat NY strip, (thanks for bringing that up) but I still went with the rib-eye. While only 14 oz, it was decent and bone-in (which was a nice surprise) and I would think I great selling feature. For our third round of drinks, the server suggested a meritage they had. My sister stayed with the cab, but I tried it. It wasn't bad, but it was very warm. When we asked for the check, he brought it out and I noticed it was just under $100. I waited for him to come back and explained I had one of those $50 off it you spend $100 certificates and we would probably need to split another glass of wine. He explained that it would be no problem to just use the certificate now as he had not charged for the last round of drinks as a thank-you. That was really nice of him, but it was really something he should have addressed when he first dropped off the check..." hey folks, sorry for the inconveniences you've experienced. I got you a round of drinks. I hope you'll try us again." Overall, our server was nice, but he lacked presence on the floor. And there were only 5 tables at the most going on. Now I get that this is a hotel venue, so perhaps repeat business isn't a priority, but with better service and some quality control, I could see this place really taking off as an after-work location. As it is now, I would go back if someone else wanted to go, or if I had another gift certificate, but it definitely isn't on my list of "must go back" spots.
