Very welcoming. Attentive service and despite the portion size the food was tasty . The circuses with a few of the dishes such as the fettuccine Alfredo and the charcuterie board were fresh renditions. Our server Deanna was good up until the restaurant became busier and John the host checked with us several times. The chef also came out of the kitchen to greet patrons, Nice touch Great eatery

Three of us for dinner on a Monday evening, two in our 50's and one age 18. We had the garlic butter knots appetizer and it was delicious - really flaky almost like a croissant, so not too filling before dinner. We had the pizza, just cheese and sausage , and all three of us loved it and agreed this will be our new place to eat before seeing any movies in Oakbrook (we were seeing a movie at Yorktown tonight). Can't comment on the wine list or cocktails, but the iced tea and lemonade were both refreshing. Decorated beautifully for Christmas, too, and the decor is lovely even if the holiday decorations weren't up. Would make a nice setting for an office party or a family get together. 5 out of 5 and we will be back!
