My wife and I dined at the Hemingway Bistro for our wedding anniversary. We almost always dine at the Hemingway Bistro when weâre visiting Oak Park.Food: superb! We were there on a Tuesday night and my wife enjoyed the lobster special. My dish was jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon. Both dishes were scrumptious. The cuisine is primarily French themed.Service: courteous and professional. We felt welcomed and at ease while dining. The staff was attentive to the clearing the table, refilling our beverages, and checking in on us when appropriate.Decor: romantic dining; excellent choice for a special occasion. However, formal attire (jackets / cocktail dresses are not needed). The general attire is business casual.Price: expensive, but worth every penny for this delightful restaurant. Dinner for two with two appetizers, two main, one dessert, four drinks, and tip was a bit under $200.Overall: I would highly recommend the Hemingway Bistro if youâre in Oak Park and looking for fine dining!

Stopped in at 1:00 on a Sunday and were seated immediately. The decor is warm and inviting. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast. Servers were friendly and attentive. We were not rushed...actually food arrived a bit longer wait than most places but the Eggs Benedict was delicious. Free parking just steps away in the public parking lot.

Maybe I can't pronounce it, but it was very tasty! At our table last week, Mrs Reviewer and I each ordered Farmers Platters. We should have ordered one and shared the pork, sausage, ham and potatoes, but we didn't... The star of the table, though, was the Byrndzove Halusky, which is potato dumplings with butter, bacon, and sheep's cheese. Then there was the included dessert (which we took home) homemade Kolacky, a flaky pastry with white cheese or raspberry. I haven't even mentioned the Czech beer! OMG!
