Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Downers Grove

We had a very nice evening at Suzettes. I made a last-minute reservation , and I'm glad I did. Duke was our server, and he was very attentive and nice. We shared the fondue, and it was very good. I had the quiche of the day, ham and asparagus; and my husband had the soup . We also shared the fresh berry crepe for dessert. It was quite a nice evening. We will be back!

Everything was very nice and the decorations were out of this world. The food was tasty and there were so many different dishes to choose from. The only drawback for me was that I’m not a big eater, and that you cannot take, what I call , is a doggie bag. And I feel that I did not get my money’s worth at $115.00 plus tax and tip.

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!

Lovely. I've attended several chicago tea rooms, and none of them compare to the quaint, elegant, experience of Oak+Rose. The Christmas tea was like a little sip of Christmas. The food was the right blend of savory and sweets - my personal favorites were the chicken salad croissant and macarons. My gluten-free girlfriend was pleasantly surprised by how yummy the bread was, and my vegetarian girlfriend thought the cucumber and hummus sandwiches were delicious. This is definitely our new annual tea room!

Great place for brunch or dinner. Irish pub with Indian influences.
