We were having dinner in the Oak Brook area and came across the Polo Lounge on Yelp, so we decided…read moreto drop in for a cocktail. There was an event going on and the lobby was crowded. No matter, although it did sort of take away from the intimate vibe that it could have been. The bar is beautifully designed and even with the tumult of so many people moving around, it lost little of its draw. I saw that the bartender had to look up the recipe for our cocktails, but they came out fine. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

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.

Even when the bar got super busy on a Friday night they made sure everyone was taken care of! Geo made the best blackberry mocktail I've ever had. I will miss having them and I can't wait to come back and try it with vodka! The food was decent for a hotel restaurant and the options included a little bit of everything. PROS: * parking lot * bar area with seating * plenty of tables * outdoor seating by the pond available * great menu * full bar * open until 10pm CONS: * parking lot is a little bit of a hike

I took V to Entourage to celebrate his birthday, and it turned out to be a fantastic evening from…read morestart to finish. We arrived on a Friday night just before 9:00 PM and had no trouble finding street parking--always a win. We were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was absolutely amazing. She let us know about their late-night perk: half-price small plates and select drinks on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until close, which is such a great incentive for heading out later in the evening. Jennifer was attentive without being intrusive--our water glasses were always full, she checked in after every course, and her recommendations for both food and drinks were spot-on. We started with a Mad Rose for V and a Chameleon for me. Both cocktails were delicious, and after finishing his Mad Rose, V definitely felt the celebratory spirit kicking in. For appetizers, we shared the Vietnamese Summer Rolls and Sweet Chili Calamari. The summer rolls were light, fresh, and nicely accented with mint. The calamari was sweet with a surprisingly spicy finish--delicious, though the heat was just a bit much for V. I'd happily order both again. For my main course, I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, and wow--hands down the best stroganoff I've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced with the noodles. It even paired beautifully with my Chameleon, with subtle lemon notes that complemented each other surprisingly well. V ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. He loved every bite. It came with a risotto that he enjoyed, even if it wasn't the standout of the dish. Dessert sealed the deal. We finished with Sandy's White Wine Cake--which reminded me of a carrot cake in the best way--and the Banana Cream Pie, which was easily the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Truly a WOW moment. Between the excellent food, thoughtful service, and great late-night specials, Entourage made V's birthday celebration one to remember. We'll definitely be back. Sorry, I wish I had pics but I left my phone behind today.

My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.

We decided on a whim to check out their happy hour during the week. We were delighted to find out that all their small plates/appetizers are half off. They also offered drink deals including wine specials and a couple of featured cocktails. We opted for espresso martinis which were robust but balanced - quite close to perfection. We decided on three small plates and everything was extraordinarily delicious. We savored each bite to fully appreciate the flavor combinations and fresh ingredients. The prosciutto and fig bruschetta, blackened shrimp and tortellici were so good that a little dance accompanied our first bites. Every dish was delivered with precision and attention to detail. Our bartender was great, too. He was very attentive and made great drinks. Manager was consistently walking around the establishment and appeared to be very hands on. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to visiting again for a special occasion or just a random day.

The VR experiences are well thought-through and motion sickness isn't much of a factor at this resolution.

Not too many obnoxious kids when we went (although some are a given due to the nature of the place and the town it's in). Staff was beyond incredible.

Lime Light which is a fried key lime pie ice cream with marshmallow meringue. Good flavor. The S'mores Ghost, with a house made graham was torched table side and drizzled in chocolate sauce. There are two options for the game card, you can either choose time or credits. We chose to share 90 minutes of time. We were able to play most of the video games, bumper cars and two VR experiences. What a way to channel our inner child. To wrap up the day we headed to the Ghost Trap which is a Ghost Buster's themed speak easy. Ghosts dance on the walls and some of them even chomp on the paintings. Tequila birthday shots were served in skulls.
