Best Casual Restaurants in Forest Park

As usual the food was great. The gnocchi is the best I’ve ever had. Our waiter, Leonardo, was especially good

Hoja Santa was a wonderful experience for my husbands birthday, we started with the ceviche and guacamole because to quote my husband "this looks like a place that does small portions". He was wrong, one starter would have been enough for the both of us but I'm glad we got both. The ceviche was fresh and well prepared as was the guacamole. I ordered the special which was a new york strip that was perfectly prepared, my husband had the chicken milanesa that he enjoyed throughly. For dessert we had the nutella filled donuts which were hot and fresh and the ice cream that came with it was superb. I highly recommend Hoja Santa for your next night out in Oak Park.

Dining experience at The Little Gem was excellent. Service was smooth and appetizers and entrees were spaced nicely. We were a party of six and everything was seamless. Good menu choices and excellent preparation.

Lunch experience was very good. Staff very attentive. Food tasty and good temperature. Wine of course was good. Recommended for a good overall experience.

A lovely evening with a great special: risotto with beef cheeks, mushrooms and bell peppers. Our server Matthew was knowledgeable about dishes, wines and so accommodating throughout. It was my 75th birthday and I felt so special there.
