A pretty wretched dining experience. Food was typical bar fare - bland, uninspired, overpriced. The staff? Just as bland and uninspired. I suspect that this is due to the lack of large "bars" in Oak Park.
The staff is unprofessional and the bartender we dealt with is the worst I have ever experienced - the worst. As another member of my party correctly stated, "this was like a bad frat house experience." Unfortunately, we had to pay for this one.
I do not go to bars/restaurants to be ignored/dismissed by the staff. The bartender kept looking over my head - even taking the time to change channels on the televisions behind me. All communication was instigated by me.
Likewise, the waitress' response to my trying to close out my tab with the bartender was just plain rude, "What are you doing. I'll get your drinks." Odd... did it not occur to her that we had a tab before we sat down to eat? I just don't get it. The proper response would have been for her to ask before we ordered. Need I mention that both the bar and food tabs were incorrect?
The kicker? The manager's response to our concerns, "Dude, life is too short." Thanks for the platitude... dude.
Pathetic. Work on the customer service or get out of the service industry.
Pros: Convenient bar for Oak Parkers
Cons: Bland food. Bad Service.
