    Tea service
    Kate K.

    I was looking forward to a high tea experience in the suburbs without having to drive downtown and at the end of the day ...it was OK. We didn't get to sit the main room because they had a private event, so we sat in the side room and we were the only ones in the restaurant - which was a bit odd and diminished the experience. The scones were small (seemed more dinner-roll like) and came with no clotted cream (and we had to ask for butter) and the food was ok - but nothing amazing for the $75 per person price. I did like how you got a complimentary glass of champagne.

    We ordered dinner and breakfast from the Colonial Room while staying at the Drake Oakbrook. Room service was prompt and we received our meals in takeout containers. Not sure if the takeout containers were part of their covid protocol but regardless the food was delicious. Generous portions too. I really enjoyed my bone-in strip steak dinner. My steak was cooked to temperature and the Cognac-Peppercorn cream sauce was perfection. Ben enjoyed his loaded gourmet burger. It was huge and we ended up having leftovers for the next day. We had breakfast in their dining room and the service, food and atmosphere was top notch. Depending on what you get, breakfast/lunch pricing averages around $15-30+ pp and dinner is around $20-125.

    Great ambience and fabulous meal! Love this place. We absolutely love their château for two. Does not disappoint!

    This is what $75 gets you.

    This review is specifically for the witches afternoon tea. My mother and I go for afternoon tea at various hotels at least a few times a year, usually Mother's Day, Halloween, and Christmas, at the very least. My mother often tells people that her favorite afternoon tea experience was the Halloween Spook Tea at the Drake Hotel in downtown Chicago. So we were very excited to experience a Halloween-themed tea at a Drake hotel that's closer to home. I'll start this review with the good: upon arriving, you could tell there was a lot of effort put into the Halloween decor, which was awesome. Whoever decorated the room did an awesome job. At the end of the tea, we were also given a gift of jars of honey, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, that's where the positive part of this review ends. The food at this tea was the second worst we have ever experienced (the worst being at a tea room where we were served sandwiches with actual soap in them... so, you know, low bar.) I appreciated that the finger sandwiches and desserts were created with a "spooky" theme; however as much attention should have been put into the taste of the food. For a price of $75 per person (before tax and tip), we expected the food to be good. The first course consisted of a white chocolate covered strawberry that was mushy inside and an apple slice with candy corn. The savory course featured three tasteless sandwiches. Cucumber sandwiches are one of my favorite things and are very hard to ruin; however, this place managed to completely obliterate it, serving a cuke sando that was watery and bitter. The worst offense, however, was a "spooky" deviled egg that looked like poop (photo included), and was decorated with candy eyeballs. While I appreciate the attempt to "spook" it up, it seems very odd to put candy on a deviled egg and the same effect could have been achieved with olives or something unsweetened? I was so off-put by the appearance of the egg that I didn't try it, but my Mom tried hers and said it was absolutely disgusting. The sweets course was also a huge miss. Mini cupcakes were clearly store bought. Every single bite, from the macaron to the truffles were coated in a thick layer of candy melt, which completely obliterated any taste from the treats themselves. Waxy, overly sweet candy melt was all you could taste. It was quite sickening. Again, I really do appreciate that there was effort put into decorating the room and the food for the theme and I was almost tempted to add a star our of appreciation for that effort. But the food was so abysmal and the price so expensive that I can't in good conscience rate this anything more than 1 star. Even 1 star seems generous. The food quality was embarrassing and I'd encourage the staff here to go and experience a tea at another hotel in the same price point (such as the four seasons or london house) and ask themselves if they really think the tea they served was worth the price they charged.

    *** Review in the times of Covid*** I went here for my birthday and it was a great time. They have four igloos outside that only have those radiant heat dishes that you can buy at Costco. Two inside my igloo. Was it warm enough inside to take your coat off? Sure. Could it have been warmer? Yes, definitely. Overall, it was a good dining experience. I had the French onion soup which was very very good. I would come back here just for the soup. I also had the polenta stacks. The sautéed veggies were tasty, the polenta was kind of bland. My hubby had the chicken wings and the Chilean sea bass and he said it all tasted good. We had the flourless chocolate cake and it was very good! Service was decent. The servers could have come around more often to check if you needed anything, but overall did a good job. My one big disappointment was that on open table I marked that were there to celebrate a birthday.. my birthday. Anytime I've marked any special occasion, the restaurant has always acknowledged that fact. They did nothing of the sort and it was honestly a real let down. There is a minimum you have to meet to get an igloo. $200 after 5pm Sunday - Thursday and $300 after 5, Friday and Saturday.

Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

For appetizers, we tried the lemon artichoke and white bean dip with naan--everything tasted really fresh, and the naan was especially good. We also got the meatballs, which were delicious with just a hint of pomegranate glaze. For my entrée, I had the bao buns--crispy chicken, great sauce, fresh ingredients, and a little kick to it. I got the honey roasted carrots on the side, which were nicely seasoned without being overpowering... but $9 for carrots felt a bit much. We also tried the sea bass, which was really good. The couscous was well made, and the fish wasn't overly "fishy," which I liked. For drinks, I had the North York Fizz--it was basically a fizzy strawberry lemonade, super refreshing. We ordered the grilled chicken spread to take home, and that was also fresh and delicious. The focaccia bread was a standout. Only downside--we never got one of our sides and didn't realize until we got home, which was disappointing. Service was good, but once we got our food, it took a while to see our server again--about a 10-minute wait, even though there were only a few other tables. Overall, I'd definitely come back and would recommend it. Really good food with just a few small hiccups.

    To be honest, all of my reviews are based on whether a restaurant does what it should do given its…read moreprice point. It's decor. And it's place in the market. More importantly, does it offer the kind of service, ambience, and experience that would make you want more? I would say 151 kitchen and bar in Elmhurst does meet those expectations. On a recent work night celebration with colleagues, we ended up here for a nice dinner. Beautifully outfitted, the service was spot on, and the food was for the most part really good. Key points for me for the honey and ricotta with bread - absolutely excellent! I ordered the Atlantic salmon, which came on a bed of tiny potatoes and broccolini absolutely what was expected, the flavors were indicative of light seasoning, and I can truly say I loved it. Needless to say, the food was fantastic. You can see the photo of my entrée below? It looks very inviting right? And indeed it was. One of my colleagues was kind enough to let me take a picture of his chicken bowl - which is below as well - and he pronounced it as pretty good. Coming from him that is high praise, indeed! The tomato bisque soup I had as an app? Pretty delicious - the only concern I would indicate was that it was just a tad too sweet, but otherwise it was served at the perfect temperature, and really hit the spot. Nicely done! So - will I bring hubby here? Yes, I think so. Definitely a worthwhile place for him to try for sure - and I will make plans to bring him here soon.
