This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

It was amazing. So tasty we went with kids and they were so nice to bring out toys for my kids to play with. The kids loved their pasta and I enjoyed the pistachio ravioli and the goat cheese dates. Husband had the tunisian rice bowl with lamb everything was top notch.
