"Whispers At Oak Street Beach is on the stretch of sand where Lake Shore Drive curves and the Gold Coast gives way to Streeterville. Which makes their deck a pretty fantastic backdrop for drinking mojitos and frozen pina coladas without getting sand in your shorts like a plebian: you’re just a few feet away from water while the LSD skyline towers above. Most people are here for drinks rather than the short menu of mediocre beachy small plates and sandwiches, but burgers and tacos appear on most tables for a reason." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
