Oak and Honey

Met an out-of-town friend for brunch. The service was great. I was a little early but got seated right away while I waited for him to arrive. Our server was incredible. Everyone was super friendly. We didn't feel rushed at all, especially on a Sunday at 1p. I had the duck au jus which was tasty. The jus was perfect as were the mountain of seasoned fries alongside. My friend had the monte cristo which was massive; I took part of it home. He had one of their cocktails which I enjoyed, but was too sweet for him (hence the 4 stars). Will definitely be back with friends and looking forward to trying other items from the menu.

Super cute brunch place with great service and delicious food! I went here today for brunch with a friend. Paid parking right outside the restaurant was easy to find at 10am on a Sunday. Our server was super sweet and answered all of our questions about the menu. We both got lattes, which tasted great. My friend ordered the root vegetable hash and I went with the monte cristo. Both were delicious but the star of the show was the rosemary roasted potatoes! Service was prompt and they also had lots of sweets/treats to choose from. Will definitely be back!

Really nice cozy breakfast on New Year’s Day! What a cute spot with a great staff. They have a wide array of brunch drinks and great coffee. Their menu is super creative and diverse - there’s definitely something for everyone. Meal was great and their French toast was AMAZING! Omelet was also delicious.

Really delicious. I ordered the maple glazed duck dish right before they took it off the menu. The flavor of it and the accompanying grains and vegetables are so delicious. Service was excellent as well. The only critiques I have are that i wish they cooked the duck more. And I wish the portion was bigger. I had to take it home and finish it up, but otherwise really delicious and I can imagine the rest of the pasts taste just as well.

I came here a while ago with my wife, we shared the Monte Cristo and the Oak & Honey Burger as well as a cocktail. I ordered the burger medium and it came out perfect. I also typically hate most jams that are put on burgers (too sweet, too spicy, too overpowering), but this jam was actually good enough that I put it straight on the burger after ordering it on the side. Service was great, and we tried a croissant or maybe another pastry when we found out they’re baked fresh in the restaurant. Having worked in the restaurant industry many years, I do think that 1 out of 100 people with good experiences leave reviews, while 9/10 people with bad experiences leave reviews. Obviously first impressions are the most important, but some days are just better than other days for every restaurant and every person in the world. Don’t let the negative reviews sway you away from this place. Give it a shot!

I ordered pick up on a lazy Sunday morning after walking by this place a couple hundred times. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage, a drip coffee, and a chocolate almond croissant. The bread for the sandwich was incredible, aioli was flavorful, and the egg was tender and not overcooked. I didn't love the sausage but there was nothing wrong with it, I think whatever spice mix is in it just wasn't for me. Next time I would choose bacon or one of the many other promising things on the menu. The potatoes on the side were good and would probably be better dining in. The croissant was perfect - flaky layers and packed with so much chocolate and almond that it was downright heavy, but in a good ooey-gooey way. Definitely should treat it like its own meal and not a dessert if you want to be able to move around the rest of the morning. Coffee was fine, I will probably try one of their espresso drinks next time. There definitely will be a next time. Everything was very good quality and it looked like there was decent seating inside for both singles and groups, so I will keep this place in mind when planning future outings.

The food was exactly what I needed and was so delicious. I got the bacon breakfast sandwich on the croissant and omg it was phenomenal. The garlic aioli was perfection and the smashed crispy potatoes were just amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Also the lattes were pretty good.

Finally stopped in after walking past 1,000 times and the only regret was that we hadn’t come sooner! Nice selection of unique cocktails that were great, and the food was even better. We had the pork chop and the lettuce wraps. Great atmosphere, experience, and service. Thanks, Leo!

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!

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!!

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.
