Oak and Honey

I recently dined at this wonderful restaurant and had the pleasure of trying the Spanish Octopus. It was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. Zoe and Sharron made the experience memorable with their impeccable service. Zoe, in particular, crafted some of the finest espresso martinis I've ever had. She also recommended a white wine from Uruguay, which turned out to be a fantastic pairing with the octopus, elevating the dish even further. Sharron was incredibly kind and friendly, making me feel very welcome and at ease during my dining experience. To top it all off, I had the chocolate pie for dessert, and it was absolutely great. Highly recommend this spot for both the outstanding food and exceptional service.

Had a lovely lunch at Oak & Honey. Our server was friendly and helpful. The burger with bacon onion jam and brie was INCREDIBLE. We took some pastries to go, which were also yummy. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the slice of Parisian silk pie I ordered (it wasn’t bad, just not great), but this will definitely be a spot I will return to often.

Had a lovely experience for dinner tonight! The lovely wood fired oven in the middle of the restaurant made such a friendly ambiance, and the food came out very quickly as we were dining with our toddler was great. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was all delicious and many unique dishes! Had been before for brunch but definitely will be back for both.

While many think of this place as a breakfast spot they also have an excellent dinner menu. The taste of the food and the cocktails were excellent. I tried the sweet potato ravioli, mushroom (farmers) flatbread, the bread basket, the cookie with ice cream, and the honey pie. Everything was excellent!

Met up here with a friend while I was in town, since it was halfway between us both and was a new spot. I had the braised beef and he got the duck. I thought the food and presentation was excellent, and was something you would find at a fine-dining establishment rather than a high-traffic spot in Lakeview. The atmosphere looked cozy inside, but I was seated outside on account of the weather. What I enjoyed most about my meal was that it was not too marbled, and that it fell apart when eaten. I really didn't need to use my fork. The potatoes were well seasoned too, and complemented the dish well. I plan on returning in the future, and I wish the establishment well. It has a lot of ambitious dishes, but the scope of the menu seems small enough that it should be manageable without impacting quality. They have a lot of competition in the area, but they were able to fill up seating when I was there on a Friday night. I plan on returning in the future when I'm in the area.

Nice little neighborhood breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! We went for lunch and an afternoon of remote work. I started with the cappuccino which was excellent and frothy. The French omelet was delicious and served with a fresh side salad and crusty baguette slices with season jam - ours was a sweet, cinnamon apple jam. The food was good but my omelet was a bit cold by the time it came to me, but my companion had the same thing and hers was still hot. Service was great! Attentive and friendly without being pushy and our server let us work as long as we needed to. Overall, I’m glad this spot has joined the neighborhood and I’ll be back!

So so good- I am consistently blown away. The bread basket here is fresh and diverse and AMAZING. Short ribs melted off the bone. We had the cookie skillet with homemade ice cream and it was the best cookie I've had in a moment. The creme brûlée was light and satisfying. Peaceful atmosphere and the cutest wallpaper. Very lovely date spot!!

Went to the soft opening this weekend and it was exceptional! Excited to come back and see all the creative seasonal things they offer. The decor is tasteful and very cute. The staff is so kind and passionate about what they're doing. Everything is homemade and locally sourced. Our party had the pancakes, the Two x Two, the breakfast sandwich, and the Little Italy. Everyone was very pleased with what they got. The bread is especially phenomenal! I will never stop thinking about my Little Italy sandwich! 🤤 Even the side salad was perfection. They really know what they're doing! Welcome to the neighborhood!

My friends and I came here because I've been dying to try this new spot on broadway and it did not disappoint. It's a tapas style restaurant and every meal we had was incredible. The music was phenomenal and at a perfect volume, the vibes were great. We are definitely going back! I highly recommend the cookie skillet

What an exceptional addition to the neighborhood. The former occupant Ceres Table was very good so I worried about what would come next. Oak & Honey absolutely knocked it out the park. Finally decided to drop by for a late breakfast yesterday and was super satisfied from start to finish. The owners did an excellent job at revamping the interior, gotta love a good ambience but it's the food (and friendly service) that will keep me coming back as a loyal customer. Best pancakes ever. Lattes were on point. I'm here for a beer and sandwich soon for sure.

We didn't plan on coming here it was such a happy accident! The ambiance is cozy, warm and I love the decor! The food was phenomenal and we only tried the appetizers (because we have dinner elsewhere later) it was so good, the octopus was delicious!! The cocktails were also well made and balance. Will definitely be coming back for a proper meal! Oh the service was good

Delicious! Food was very good. Breakfast sandwich was amazing. Only giving a 4/5 due to price and portion size of meals. Understand it's Chicago and will be more expensive, but compared to other brunch places, it was on the higher end. Recommend trying to sit outside.

We had brunch on a weekday here, and I found it quite enjoyable! The servers seemed a little harried, but they might have been short staffed due to the holidays. They have a relatively spacious interior and comfortable seating. Definitely visit on the weekend if you want access to the full menu; I was intrigued by several of the options that were not available at the time. I got the duck au jus with the salad, and my friend got it with the fries. I thought it was tender and juicy, perfect with the hearty bread. The salad greens were fresh and the dressing worked well to cut through the fat. The fries were also crispy and well seasoned. The coffee is fine; nothing too special there. Prices are consistent with eating out in the area ($35 for entree + coffee). I'd be interested in trying their dinner menu!

We stopped into Oak & Honey for a late breakfast on Sunday. We were fortunate to get a table at the open threshold to the sidewalk. Great for people watching and a cool fall breeze. The atmosphere was very chill, upscale boho vibe. The service was excellent. Quick but not pushy. Informative on menu choices and options. My bride landed on the Root Vegetable blend with Eggs and homemade sourdough toast. Accompanied by homemade jelly too. I opted for the Monte Cristo on house made brioche with some awesome pan fried fingering potatoes. I added some hot sauce too. Both dishes were excellent. We hope to get back there soon to try their dinner meals

This place is a neighborhood winner the likes of wish I had closer to me. We came to Chicago to meet up with my daughter and hang for my birthday. We met up at Oak and Honey because its and easy walk from her old place (which she was staying at with friends), and because it was the type of easy, accessible brunch we were looking for generally. It is neither diner, nor tablecloth-esque. It just works perfectly. They have a full barista type set up so coffee and drink options go way beyond the typical "house brew" default. There are great choices of made-in-house bakery items and the meals were tasty, well-prepared and substantial. The environment is comfortable and inviting and we will be happy to come back.

Visited during the first week of this restaurant opening, so we didn't get to try any drinks as their bar wasn't fully stocked just yet. However, the food was AMAZING. We had the duck and gnocchi(not pictured). The duck is probably one of the best duck dinners I've had in a while. Perfectly paired with mushroom and shaved celery (which I would've never thought of pairing with duck haha). I normally avoid ordering pasta or gnocchi as it's quite heavy for my taste, but the gnocchi here was very light and refreshing almost like a pasta salad. I cannot wait to visit again!

Excellent food, the plating was beautiful and everything was delicious. Sat at the bar and the bartender took excellent care of me including discussing the menu. He said everything was house made, right down to all the sauces and even the ice cream. Super impressive and ambitious of them, and it came through in the food. I was torn on getting dessert - I'm not a big pie girl, and was genuinely concerned even the French silk pie wouldn't be sweet enough for my insane sweet tooth. I was pleasantly surprised though - it is SO rich and chocolatey. The bartender does not play around with the pours either ;) Oh, ambiance - This is a really cute spot and the giant floor-to-ceiling windows open to the sidewalk are really neat. That area is going to be nice to sit in during the fall. Overall a really good addition to Lakeview and I hope they make it long term!

While I want you to succeed, dinner last night was a flop. Mediocre lettuce salad; done but not tender (so on the rare side) octopus; greasy combo of potatoes and sausage...Not up to the par as my previous hamburger for lunch there. And the sourdough that I purchased on a Sunday--hurray for fresh bread ! Busing service was intrusive...pacing beside the table, removing items just as the fork sat down. Step it up to stay on Broadway in Chicago.

Great food and great service, an awesome addition to the neighborhood. We shared the short rib and the duck

This spacious new restaurant on a lively block had good food, friendly service and a wonderfully mellow vibe (thanks, Steely Dan!). It was nearly empty on a Wednesday morning and I got to have a delightful chat with the server. The root vegetable hash and perfect egg was simple and just what I needed. Wish the back was brighter, but there are a few tables up front.

First time went for breakfast. Place is so warm and the staff is very welcoming. Coffee is good not great but I am a coffee snob. I had egg and sausage. Cooked perfectly. Sausage was fantastic. Very good fried potatoes. Overall great food very good service will be back. Would have been 5 stars but the coffee set them back so 41/2. Leave a nice tip for your service team, they work hard.

Excellent food and a beautiful atmosphere. You can tell they really put care into everything. A great addition to the neighborhood.

Food was delicious!!! The carrots were out of this world ! Exquisite!!! We'll be back !!!

Excellent breakfast sandwiches and I got a whole apple pie with oat crumble topping for a dinner party and it was a hit.
