Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Oak Park

It was Jingle themed and the decorations were on point. Great food service and atmosphere.

I always liked the original location in grosse pointe. Have not been to Royal since it first opened. Still great!

We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.

Always a reliable spot for a good drink and meal. Sevice is impeccable and the chefs go out of their way to add uniue flavor profiles to all their dishes. Had the Lake Perch special and it was as expected perfectly breaded and pan fried to just give the fish that crunch. The sauce pulls the dish together with a simple salted potato as a base.

Always have a good time here! Generous portions, great tasting food, and super friendly staff. Been going here for years and plan to for many more.
