Wayne Pombert II
The Oaken Bar + Bistro is a lovely establishment attached to The Hyatt Hotel in Lake Forest, IL. Its elegant interior is well designed, providing an upscale atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, giving wonderful customer service. The food is quite delicious and unique, presented with a tasty display. It arrives at the table with reasonable proportions. As our first time visiting the Oaken, we ordered Shakshuka, which we’ve never had before, along with the Open-faced waffle-battered chicken sandwich. Both dishes were scrumptious and worth the first time experience.

Visited Oaken on New Years Eve, and it was a night to remember! They had a special menu, and I had the Surf N Turf – it was so delicious! The manager did an outstanding job making sure everything ran smoothly, he was even making drinks! His staff was friendly and attentive the entire night! They had live music, which was perfect! The pianist was very talented and was taking song requests. Many people were dancing and having a great time! Major kudos to the manager for putting together an amazing NYE party! We even got up and had brunch the following morning and the food was great! Thank you, Oaken, for great service, delicious food, and an unforgettable experience l

We chose this based on the photos and almost didn’t go because it’s in a hotel. Glad we went – pretty and wide open space, good looking food as well. Service was good and food came out in a reasonable time. Only improvement needed really is that the food wasn’t seasoned and there was no salt on the table. Brunch on the weekend is a good time to go as the menu features items from both the breakfast and lunch menus.

What a lovely spot!! My sister took me here and we had such an amazing time – great ambiance, wonderful service, and really solid food. The manager came by and made sure we were enjoying ourselves, and the people here really make the experience.

The staff tries to work around the general rude and unfriendly demeanor of the manager. She’s completely not suited for customer service industry. Never going back, don’t need to go out to pay and be talked down too and insulted. Good luck to this place, they will need it if she’s not replaced.

If you want a beautiful atmosphere and a terrible meal you found the right place. The chef trained with chef boyardee, because he thinks risotto is soup with rice. The bar takes 30+ minutes to make each drink so you can not even get slightly buzzed to even enjoy the food. On top of that, when the entree did finally make it out, my meatball was raw and the portion sizes were enough to feed a three year old.

Bland, overpriced, soulless restaurant wedged into a chain hotel in a boring office park. The only way a restaurant can charge as much as they do for such poor quality and manage to survive is by relying on business travels choosing convenience over quality – if that’s not you, then this is a place to definitely avoid.

All the items we ordered exceeded our expectations in taste, texture, and presentation. The staff were friendly and accommodating to our request. I will highly recommend Oaken Bar and Bistro to my friends and will definitely visit it again in the future.
