"Crate & Barrel’s first restaurant is a successful display of chef Bill Kim’s cooking according to Joanne Trestrail. Located within the company’s Oak Brook store, the Table at Crate’s vegetable-forward menu “leans light.” Salmon tartine, an open-faced sandwich of parsnip, carrot, and egg, is “delightful” while mushroom fricassee is a “captivating mélange of wild mushrooms and Brussels sprouts atop white corn grits.” And the marinated skirt steak is a “meaty masterpiece.” A few clunkers include “heavy” and stale waffle fries, and shrimp poke with “over-applied” miso sesame dressing." - Jeffy Mai

"Retailer Crate and Barrel’s first full-service restaurant opens today at the Oakbrook Center shopping center, helmed by James Beard-nominee Bill Kim (Urbanbelly). The Table at Crate offers shareable, seasonal dishes at 35 Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook, according to a news release. The space was formerly occupied by the Crate and Barrel children’s furniture store, Land of Nod. The bilevel restaurant, which is designed to showcase the company’s kitchen tools and tableware, seats 75 and includes both indoor and outdoor spaces. Created in collaboration with Cornerstone Restaurant Group (the company behind the various Michael Jordan steakhouses), the Table at Crate features the same spare, modern aesthetic as the business’s popular home goods. Dusty rose, green, and grey chairs line the smooth, wooden tables, and large windows fill the space with sunlight. Creative lighting accents hang above tables in clusters and white-and-grey dishes are artfully arranged on one wall. The largely vegetable-focused menu features a number of ingredients sourced from area farmers including Three Sisters Garden, Mick Klug Farm, and Green Acres Farm. Subsections include garden and greens, with items including mushroom fricasse (white corn grits, truffle oil, herb butter) and watermelon salad (poached shrimp, forbidden black rice, agave dijon dressing). There are three tartine options (avocado, BLT, and “mighty vine” tomato) and several bowls, including cavatelli (double smoked bacon, tomato sauce, basil). The main dishes are decidedly protein-centric, such as garlic and rosemary marinated skirt steak (tomato salsa, waffle fries), but Kim favors a deep dish cauliflower lasagna (tomato garlic sauce, mozzarella). Diners can expect wine by the glass and bottle, as well as a number of beers and ciders with a few locally-brewed options. There are eight cocktails, such as the “Hey, Hi, Hello” (Tito’s vodka, Dolin Blanc vermouth, strawberry guava, lemon, Grand Poppy liqueur) and “Midnight Surmise” (Plantation dark rum, Metric coffee, Amaro Abano, oat milk, demerara, Bittermens Elemauke bitters). The bar also offers trendy spirit-free cocktails, including the “Crime of Passion” (black tea, passion fruit, lemon, demerara, mint, soda water). The Table at Crate provides grab-and-go items too, as well as a coffee bar. The Table at Crate is now open at Oakbrook Center." - Naomi Waxman

Went for a friend’s surprise birthday dinner, and we were met with really great service and unique menu options. The cavatelli tasted really fresh, and the lavender lemonade looks impressive with the butterfly pea tea colors. The lemon pound cake has a bright citrusy flavor and the deconstructed s’mores are a cool take on the usual.

The waffle fries are great with the aioli it's served with. The burger is very middle of the road and boring. If you are the type of person that doesn't order the same thing at every restaurant try one of the other dishes. They'll probably surprise you. The chicken sandwich was not spicy.

We went in for coffee and dessert.. the iced coffee was delicious the reason for my 3 star the dessert i ordered was the lemon pound cake . it was a bit dry and it and with a topping of gelato which was very small but yummy

I probably go back for drinks after shop or quick bite for lunch. Bites sections much better than main sections. We tried four main dishes and came out pretty good, just one which is sirloin udon. Chicken pita, lemon chicken, and poke are tasteless. The cocktail was good, and the services were fantastic.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was incredibly lively and modern, setting the perfect tone for a memorable dining outing. Our waitress was an absolute delight – her warmth and friendliness made us feel welcomed! We started with the burrata appetizer and crispy waffle fries, and they did not disappoint. The waffle fries were a standout, with a crispy exterior and a deliciously tender inside. For the main entrees, we ordered the salmon dish, quinoa bowl, and the signature salad with tofu that added a delightful crunch. Every dish showed quality flavor. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and the vibrant atmosphere make this place a must-visit. I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice urban restaurant.

Wonderful, airy and clean feel to the restaurant space. We had a table by the windows which overlooked the beautiful fountain and tulips. Great service and yummy tasting waffle fries with garlic and curry aoli, appetizer. Cucumber vodka cocktail was good, but too much ice for the price $14. Was a bit taken aback at watching the bartenders in full view mixing dried honeydew flavoring right out of the bag at the bar. I'd prefer to think fresh ingredients are used but... The cocktail napkins put out when we sat down were extremely wrinkled. Not a great first impression. Overall it was a very pleasant visit.

Soo delicious! A little pricey but the food is great, garlic aioli sauce is TO DIE FOR. Really pretty restaurant as well!

My daughter chose The Table at Crate for her birthday dinner (none of us had ever been there before) and we all left happy and full! I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich, and my daughter had a very tasty pasta dish (the cavatelli). My son had the C&B burger and my wife had the Mediterranean pita with chickpea patties. The waiter was thoughtful and gave my daughter a complimentary dessert (she chose the Tiramisu, which was excellent). My drink was a latte, and my wife had a ginger/lemonade drink with vodka. The kids had soft drinks, and my daughter liked the little Sprite bottle which she got! Overall, excellent food, and good service. The prices were just a tad on the high side, in my opinion, but a nice spot for a special occasion!

I'm honestly just obsessed with this place at this point. I'm an Oak Brook mall lover when it comes to shopping, so Table at Crate has continued to be my #1 go to for a bite as a post-shop break I look forward to the Waffle Fries and Aioli every. single. time. It just couldn't be better. Spicy from the chili/paprika rub and IMO, perfectly crispy I will have to admit my one disappointment... they changed the historic Lemon Chicken Dish which now comes with a couscous instead of mashed potatoes. I was actually very bummed about this, but I will (hopefully) get over it They had some new cocktails when I visited in June and I loved the Spicy Guava Margarita. Super fresh and naturally sweet

Excellent service, and the food was amazing! We were seated right away, our server was great and timed all courses very well, her timing and checking in was on point and never took too long or stopped by too frequently. The food looked and tasted delicious! Great first impression. We will make the drive to it again or stop in without hesitation if we're in the area.

Went here in December so I'm not sure if the ramen is a seasonal item, but it was so delicious!!! I ate every last drop of it :) The restaurant itself was really cute and the staff was friendly - my friend got a salad and enjoyed it

Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Chairs are comfy and cool...I would totally purchase the purple one I sat in. Hostess was friendly and super sweet. Server was great. Very attentive went over specials, gave recommendations. Drinks were delicious! Some of the best we have ever had. Appetizers and entrees all some of the best we have had in a while. Creative options. Dessert was so good I would have licked the plate if appropriate! We will be back.

We stopped at The Table for lunch while shopping at the Oakbrook Artisan Market. It was our first time dining at this restaurant located in the Crate & Barrel store. The restaurant is a good size with indoor dining and an outdoor patio along the perimeter. Perfect for people watching while eating and enjoying the fresh air. The woman at the front desk was not welcoming, no greeting or smile as she sat us at a table on the patio,. Service was unattentive at first as we sat waiting for someone to greet us for the first 10 minutes. Thankfully once a server came to our table, we had better service. I ordered a blue fog iced tea that was not only beautiful to look at, but so tasty. I ordered the crispy tofu poke bowl, and my husband had the hot chicken sandwich with waffle fries. We both enjoyed what we ordered. The food was very good. I would definitely stop at The Table again while shopping in the Oakbrook Mall and explore more of the menu.

I've heard about this place and I had another restaurant that I was going to go to, but I thought I'd pop in and look at it and have a coffee. After I went in I looked at the menu and I decided to have a drink really good drink, it had candied ginger in it and I'm not sure what it was. It was on the menu but it was fantastic and then I ordered a smoked salmon appetizer and that was so good. I can't wait to come back here and try the rest of the menu. The service was excellent. I can't remember the man that helped us he was Russian . It was on the fifth of December . Wonderful waiter

Food is incredible and the servers are always helpful. What a fun new addition to the store I already love to shop at. Fun to catch up with friends here and love the new outdoor seating area to enjoy the weather and people watch!

This is not the place to come for "drinks and an app". This is definitely a restaurant that happened to have a bar in the middle. There's no "action" or energy, besides the changing of the servers around 4-ish. We came for a few rounds and some apps. We stayed for one round and one app. The drinks were stellar. The service was choppy as they seemed like they were changing from day crew to evening crew. The dumplings were $18 for 5 tiny pan fried dumplings. The ambiance was dead - except for a few tables with moms and strollers. This just wasn't the vibe we were hoping for. I'll give it another shot at some point, but not midday on a weekday. Too quiet, too "soccer mom", too forgettable.

Okay, never heard of this place until I saw this. My review is mixed. When I enquirer about an outdoor table (there were several empty), I was told we couldn't get one and it would be a wait because they were for reservations. Other people asked too and the hostess rudely said "don't tell me how to do my job," resulting in one party immediately turning around. Side note, the exact table I was hoping to sit at stayed empty the entire time and ran into friends who made a reservation for indoors less than 10 minutes in advance and were seated outdoors, but that's another story for another day. Food...the roasted tomato and goat cheese appetizer, 20/10, I loved it so much I got a second one. The tomatoes are so sweet and the goat cheese isn't too strong. The spicy tequila cocktail was pretty good (7/10), it wasn't too spicy, but I like spice so I would've appreciated more. The cavatelli pasta was a miss for me, the flavor profile is weird with the pumpkin seeds and the pasta itself, for it to be the only pasta dish on the menu, it was a total miss for me, I'd skip this entree. I will say I added shrimp with mine and those were well cooked. My friend had the burger and said with the aioli it was good. Honestly, the kids pasta was better than what I ordered. I got the lavender lemonade and I didn't really like that, it was sparkling and had too much lavender for me, I'd try it again with some modifications. Our actual server was nice also, forgot his name. Would I go back? Yea, because the location is nice, if you're shopping, but I wouldn't travel out of my way to return. And that hostess was just awful!

My mom & I went here during a day of shopping. We had pretty high expectations because it was really crowded & has gotten great reviews. It just wasn't that good? The food was insanely overpriced & just didn't taste good. It was a pretty small salad for the price & was very lackluster. The service was lacking & I just wouldn't return. I'd imagine dinner is better? Hard to tell.

This is a great place with contemporary fun food with healthy options, including vegetarian. Part of the appeal of this place is that it has the crate and barrel way to walk around and look at furniture or furnishings. Bathrooms are upstairs so you get to see the appliances and it's fun! Tofu ramen w shoyu base is very good! The Mediterranean is very good. The ramen soup bases were very good. Nice food for sure. One Gripe: the roasted eggplant ($18) was kind of terribly weird. They said it was baba ghanoush, but it was definitely not. They brought it in with the skin on and stuffed that eggplant with eggplant that was seasoned w just salt and cut into strips and topped with feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, Cucumbers, and Carrots. The serving size was not good, so I was still hungry afterwards, and there was barely any taste to it except for the feta cheese. I would highly recommend this item be taken off the menu.

Great quick service shop and dine. The caramel cappuccino is a must. It's a bit on the sweeter side but quite delicious. Burger is a bit on the pricier side but seems typical for this area. A must try if in oakbrook.

We enjoyed our meals very much. We have a vegan in our party and this place has some good vegan options. We started with the edamame dumplings. They had very nice flavor: a bit tangy, not heavy on salt, and crunchy. I loved the glaze placed on the plate and the dumplings. I had the Mediterranean pita with shrimp. It had great flavor but neither over powering nor too subtle. It came with a large salad. I would have liked some tomato with the salad but other than a bit too much simplicity in the salad ingredients, it had a nice tasting dressing that once again neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed the palate. The chef hit the Goldilocks flavor level: just right. We split the banana bread pudding. Wow, that was a great dessert!! It had nice caramel notes but some bits of tart and tangy with apricot pieces. Service was very fast with a restaurant about 3/4 full.

My wife was itching to have lunch at this place, so we went. I didn't see the appeal of eating inside a store restaurant, but it was pretty nice. Even though it was busy on this beautiful Sunday afternoon, we got seated right away and got an amazing corner table. The water was served in nicely shaped glasses. The menu is pretty limited, but we ordered a tomato goat cheese dip with sourdough as an appetizer and a Korean bbq salmon entree. The tomato dip was superb. Very flavorful and plentiful bread. Even my wife liked it and she's not a big tomato person. The salmon dish was also excellent. The salmon was tender and flavorful without being slathered in sauce. The grits were creamy, and the coconut gave it an excellent burst of flavor. The only downside of the dish were the undercooked, under-seasoned Brussels sprouts. The bill came to $52 with tax and tip, which I find expensive for one app + one entree at lunchtime, but we enjoyed the experience and the meal.

The service on Tuesday night was excellent. They treated my moms food allergy with the upmost care and made sure she got the right food. Hands down one of the best experience with that! Food was a bit pricy but really nice location with outdoor seating. Next time I would order the burrata.

Excellent service. Excellent drinks. Excellent food. After shopping at Oakbrook we decided to try someplace new for lunch. With the holidays, the mall was pretty busy so we had a 15 minute wait before a table opened up. We sat right by the window which had great lighting. The s'mores martini was excellent. I am very picky when it comes to alcohol but I loved it. As for food, I tried the shrimp ramen which was also very good. It was perfect for a cold day and it was a very decent portion size. Our waiter was also excellent which really completed the experience. It was an expensive lunch but it was well worth it.

WAY over priced. Just my wife and I and we don't order alcohol and it came out to $125!!! First and last time coming to this place!

I just went recently to treat my mother for her birthday. It was today actually, Sunday Nov 19. The food was okay but the service was extremely poor. I asked that they prepare her a dessert and told them which to prepare because banana pudding is her favorite. I was informed the dessert would be on the house for the birthday and I was told my server would be informed. It took us about ten minutes for our server to even bring us water. And then another five minutes before he found our way back to our table to order food. It took so long the table next to us had to tell THEIR server that we had been waiting a long time. Our meals came out. Nothing was hot but the taste was good. Que another 15 minutes before our someone even came back to check on us. Note: it wasn't our server. Our server actually never came to check on us. We were finished with the meal and pretty ready to leave at that point. Never got the promised birthday dessert. Not surprising since our server treated us with such carelessness. It really put a stain on my mother's birthday dinner. After I paid, I went to let the restaurant know how poor the service was and to say that it was really disappointing not to even have the dessert I had prearranged for show up, the person smirked, laughed and said "ok." No apology nothing. It was shockingly ill-mannered, impolite and startlingly unpleasant. I would totally skip it. The service was so poor and the food is not good enough to endure the rudeness and carelessness.

Really good quality food and friendly service. We ordered the beef dumplings as an appetizer and udon with shrimp and chicken with pita. The ambiance was welcoming and peaceful. We love to go back.

Who would have ever thought that Crate & Barrel would have their own restaurant? This elegant gem is hidden in the midst of plants and kitchenware. No.. seriously. You have to walk into C&B to find the restaurant. First off, I recommend doing a reservation. Personally I love resy because it saves time. But this place is definitely the IT place when touring the outdoor mall at Oakbrook. Upon being seated, we (4 of us) all order beverages; both mocktails and alcoholic drinks. I personally ordered the Lavendar lemonade, smoked salmon tartine, and the banana bread pudding for dessert. The lemonade was delicious - imagine fresh squeezed lemonade with fresh butterfly pea tea merged together... absolutely divine. The acidity can be a bit much however it's refreshing and light. Picking the tartine is an awesome choice for sometime who is hungry yet not wanting to be overstuffed. I will say, I found the salmon to be a smiiiiidge sweet but it helped that it was flavorable and not dry. The side salad could use more fresh veggies. Tossing together greens in vinaigrette isn't a salad and doesn't compliment the main dish. The banana bread pudding was great. The Table definitely put their own twist on this desert. Again, not heavy but just the right about of sweetness and bread. The mixed in fruit with the chocolate crunch on top was an amazing touch to the soft bread. The service was great but our server did not do a great job with recommendations. When asked, he always went to his personal preferences (which was all the basic items) rather than what most customers request/ customer favorites. Huge shout out to Carlos the manager who gifted us a free roasted tomato goat cheese appetizer just because. He did an amazing job checking in on us, ensuring we enjoyed our visit, and the food. I wouldn't be inclined to return simply because I spent $50 for three items that slightly filled my stomach.

Kris G.

Yelp
Food was very good. Although, Poke Bowl had a Mediterranean flavor rather than Asian. Didn't get the wrong quinoa mix or not read the description well? Service was superior. Ambiance is great. Biggest detractor were the bathrooms. Not opposed to going into the store and up the escalator. However, when paying $80 for 2 people for lunch (and no alcohol or dessert) I think clean bathrooms should be available. Broken toilet paper holders, broken soap dispensers, paper and tissue on the ground. One hand dryer that sounded like it was ready to quit at any moment. CB can do better.

Steve B.

Yelp
Interesting place. The menu is upscale pho and seafood. There were not many sandwiches or appetizers on the menu. This is more of an upscale date place. Nice bar and wine list with a personable staff and nice ambiance. It is an experience. Oh the latte is excellent and the dessert menu is impressive. I will definitely try brunch here. I wish there was a more accessible appetizer on the menu. But, I will definitely be stopping back for coffee.

What an amazing spot to have any meal! I took my girls here for lunch over their spring break and I was very impressed with the experience. They have kid menus and crayons to keep them occupied and the selections do not skimp on portion size. There are a bunch of mock tails that are very interesting and kids light like these too - like lavender lemonade or the coconut citrus one I had. We got a kids cheeseburger that came with waffle fries and a tomato soup that comes with cute mini grilled Gruyère bites, and I opted for the avocado tartine that also has a side salad on the plate. Service was fast and friendly and we didn't wait for anything. I also loved sitting inside, but with a nice view of the fountain and plenty of sunlight!

Just left Table. Came with a $60 gift certificate given as a Christmas gift. It was rejected saying that they have a new software program and are unable to accept the card until tomorrow. I find it hard to believe that a national company such as this would not provide the training services to accommodate their own customers. Left with no satisfaction after speaking with the manager. Obviously will not return. Most unfortunate. I was surprised to hear from the restaurant manager who apologized for our experience. He took full ownership of the computer issue and explained the problem. Mr. Marshall then offered to comp our meal and invited us to return. Obviously such customer service is admirable and we will return.

Disappointing. I felt like I was eating airplane food. Over priced and underwhelming. Our server was nice, but the experience was a waste of money.

During some store checks with my boss, we stumbled across this nifty concept which I had no idea that Crate had created! We almost went to another spot nearby but we were so intrigued, we just had to try it! The ambiance was chic and classic, in true Crate style, and the service was commendable! I ordered a beautiful (served in a large mug mind you) cappuccino and it was just what the doctor ordered after a long day of walking around checking retailers for our products. For lunch, I had an out of this world cauliflower lasagna that I can only pray I will recreate myself one day. The cauliflower was not fully shredded, they were more of shaved hunks if you'd like to think of it that way, and they were the base for the ricotta, fresh Italian seasonings and herbs, and topped with Parmesan of course. It was served in the most adorable little pot pie style dish with a lid (or a mini Dutch oven) and I was super into the display. My boss got the Crate salad which was loaded with tasty ingredients (she chose the less heavy route) and she seemed just as pleased with her meal as well. You learn something new every day! So next time you want to splurge on some expensive and amazing home items, stop on in for a treat to take your mind off it.

Cute setting that is open and bright. Fast service with friendly wait staff. I had the salmon salad. It was a very generous portion but frankly it was so smoky and so gloppy that it was unappealing to eat on the bread as presented. It would be better if served mounded up, with bread on the side to apply it to. It was just like a giant mound of salmon mayo atop a slice of bread you could not slice nor eat as a sandwhich. I also had the fried tofu as a side which came utterly plain and over dried.

Really ingenious to take advantage of space the way this spot did. Nestled right on the floor of Oak Brook mall in Crate and Barrel. All plates and furnishings supplied to the restaurant. Great decor and wonderful Chef(James Beard) winner? I think. White bean hummus is phenomenal. Get more rice cakes when you order. The salad with added salmon, was very good. Enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich. Finally, Karen was very good service was excellent.

Took my granddaughter to the Easter Egg Decorating Workshop and I have to say it was amazing. The chef that ran the event and his helpers all had so much patience with the children. There were many options for decorating - paint, crayons, dye with shaving cream, etc. She was also given a quilted Easter basket with her name embroidered on it. It was quite enjoyable and I will look into doing other workshops for children at this location.

Beautiful setting ofc because CRATE & BARREL!! But had LOW expectations for the food. I was so, so wrong. First we shared beautiful, delectable edamame dumplings--essentially excellent pot stickers served on a bed of peas, radishes and cucumbers... Then had the divine Korean BBQ salmon protein bowl with egg, mushrooms, arugula... Just delicious!! And then capped it off with a sumptuous oat milk latte that was to die for!! I'll definitely be going back...Possibly tomorrow.

Yelp
The atmosphere and service were nice especially near the green space and fountain. However, the food is overpriced for what it is. Also, all of our salads were DRENCHED in dressing. I should have sent it back because it was almost inedible. I regret that I didn't and I still left hungry.

Anne-Marie N.

Yelp
The location was cute. The food was ok. Drinks were great. Service was ok. Food was a little surprising. There was an odd fusion, but the poke is cooked cold seafood... same with the protein bowl. The burger was great. The menu was small but a more basic Americana vibe would have been better. Wish the menu would have been less blended and more options relating to delicious pub food.

I brought my handicap mother here and didn't realize we had to go all the way inside in order to be seated outside (she could not walk that far. I went inside and asked a random waiter for help. Derek (the random waiter) jumped and hustled to help me to get my mom seated as quickly as possible..... physically moving many things out of the way so her pathway was clear. He was an absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond the Call of Duty. It turned out he was not our waiter but Fredo was also fantastic. I would come back here any time simply based on the service

Betty C.

Yelp
Tasty enough food, disappointing service from our server Karyn. She might have been annoyed because two of us in the party were a bit late due to unforeseen circumstances. She took our order and one of us asked for a specific sauce and she said she'd bring it and then of course it didn't come out, when she came by to ask how things were we asked her for it again and she never brought it so we had to flag down a different server to get it. We had two orders of Avocado toast and they were very good - crispy bread, creamy avocado spread and a very, almost non-dressed spring mix green salad. Another had the lemongrass chicken protein bowl with cauliflower rice subbed in for the quinoa. It had bright and clean flavors and was very light. The nuoc cham lacked garlic and fish sauce... A shrimp quinoa protein bowl was fine - no amazing flavors. It was all good but not great and a tad overpriced for the flavors.

Moved to Florida last year but came to town for a wedding and we stopped in for lunch. SO happy to see our favorite hostess Andrea was still here! She remembered us and gave us a warm hug, made us feel very special! We really miss dining here. Everything was great as always! We had a great time on the patio... Our server Fredo was great...We'll come back on our next visit!

This place is always packed in warmer seasons, and I understand why. The food, drinks and service is awesome. The menu is fairly small, but that's a good sign of good food. My 2 favorite items are the crate salad with salmon and the burger and fries. The combination of flavors in the salad is marriage made in heaven and the salmon is always seasoned and cooked to perfection. You simply can't go wrong with the burger, it's simply delicious, like my new favorite burger spot good. No crazy flavors or sauces, just a really good 'ol burger and fries that hits every time.

Love this place! Every turn we go shopping we have lunch there. Although I wish they'd expand there menu. It's very limited and the items they did have were some of my favorites.

It's a HARD PASS on The Table at Crate. The actual restaurant is attractive and pleasant to dine in. Unfortunately, the actual restaurant is not edible. My wife and I had dinner this week around 6pm and the restaurant traffic was very light. We ordered the goat cheese dip ( fair price, tasty), the C&B Burger (overpriced ($20) and small for the price, the taste was OK), cauliflower lasagna (overpriced ($22), tasteless, dry.....it's just chopped cauliflower with a ton of melted cheese over it) and apple cran buckle for dessert( ($14) very dry and unmemorable). I had to pour my coffee cream over the apple cran buckle to eat it. Service was great whenever our waiter came to the table, which was seldom. Bottomline: skip the dinner and just order a dessert and coffee or just coffee.

Its a nice restaurant in the oakbrookmall with limited menu choices. We had the Moscow mule, mango margarita on the rocks along with shrimp & grits which was tad bit salty. Dessert was bread pudding with ice cream which was too sweet for my liking. We sat outside and was very pleasant. Service was good and attentive

Delicious food. I'm so impressed that they had clearly labeled vegan options. I ordered the Crate Salad and their Kombucha and it was delicious. I only wished the salad was bigger. My mom ordered a chicken Bento Box and was obsessed with her food as well. She said it was delicious and the portions were the perfect size. Will 100% be back.

Food was delicious. Seemed like there was going to be a long wait, but it went very quickly for outdoor service. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're at the mall.

Such a cool little eatery inside the Crate & Barrel store. I like to stop here when I'm in Oakbrook and want to grab a quick snack, a cocktail and people watch. I usually get the waffle fries with Aioli or a salmon salad, and one of their tasty mimosas, or a glass of Rosé and so far it's always been a hit never a miss. The service is good. Workers are friendly and it's so cool they use a lot of their C&B glasses, plates and silverware. You have the option to sit outside or inside. Outside is great for sipping a nice cocktail or a latte, conversation and people watching. Indoor is a great option as well. Menu not super extensive, but definitely a nice selection of entree's to choose from. Price point I will admit is on the pricier side for what you're getting. I would still recommend checking out, even if it's just for the experience.

My fiancé and I went to eat here since we were doing our registry at Crate & Barrel. Andrea, the hostess, brought us phenomenal energy and complimentary champagne. Our waitress was fast and attentive. We both got the C&B burgers which were delicious! We'll be back soon!

What a fun dining experience at The Table at Crate! Seriously obsessed with this whole idea - probably because I love Crate and Barrel so much. The atmosphere and vibe is really pleasant inside. I walked in on a weekday afternoon for lunch and sat at the bar. There was definitely a substantial crowd inside. I loved that they use a bunch of their populate dinnerware, glassware, and flatware when serving the food. The drinks were amazing. Definitely on the pricier side but it's so worth it! The pasta was so fresh and tasty too, and the portion size is great. I really appreciate how vegetarian friendly the restaurant is. It shows you can make fresh, culinary artistic food that works for all diets! It's also cool that they rotate out their dishes and serve a variety of cuisines. All in all, I had an excellent experience and hope so badly C&B rolls this out to their Seattle stores!!!

I had low expectations for this place, man they nailed it. I wanted a light lunch and opted for Spinach Pesto Dip. It had Yogurt, roasted garlic, tomato, asparagus, cucumber, pita chips (v). Very flavorful. Fresh veggies and the asparagus spears were perfect. Wife had poke bowl with fried tofu. We both had an Arno.d Palmer as out beverage. Service was attentive and prompt. Outdoor seating is available, but it was a hot and muggy day so we opted for indoor seating. My only complaint, however minor, was the noise level. The acoustics as the are amplifies and echos everything so the decibel level was a bit high. Not uncomfortable, but I suspect we'd have enjoyed eating outside if the weather was milder. All in all they exceeded my low expectations. Enjoyed our meals.

The service was a little slow but the food is fantastic. Pretty pricey, but it's Oak Brook - unique ingredients and new flavors for me which was fun. We ordered potstickers, waffle fries, salad, vegetable ceviche, and a tofu noodle dish - the tofu noodle dish was so good that we ordered two entrees to go.
