This restaurant is definitely a great find and definitely worth the short trip out to Oak Park. As soon as one walks in, there is definitely a strong feeling of being in a French Bistro. Everything from the music to the decor is French, and leads to a very cultural feeling for the diner. The service is excellent, and the waitstaff is very attentive. The food itself is one thing that had a small area for improvement. The bottle of wine we initially wanted wasn't available (although the alternative Bordeaux was excellent). Also, the potatoes au gratin weren't available as a side order to my main course. The dessert selection was excellent. Overall, I'd say this is a great restaurant that I will be happy to return to.

Hemingway's Bistro is a little Gem tucked away in Oak Park. I found the food to be high quality and cooked to perfection. A French style of cooking with flavors of butter and fats. Creating a symphony of flavor that does not mask what the chef is cooking. The baked imported Brei with Apricots and Honey was on point. The Fruit and honey was balanced with a quality Brie cheese. I would highly recommend it if you are a fan of Brei cheese. My entree was the New York Steak au Poivre. The meat was cooked to my order request. What stands out for me in a quality restaurant are the vegetables. Are they cooked but not soggy? Are they fresh and flavorful? The pommes au gratin was Broiled just right. Having a whole tomato cooked with crisp breadcrumbs combined with oil and spice is a difficult culinary task. Too much heat and the tomato is mushy, too little and a raw tough lump below the breadcrumbs. The pommes au gratin here was cooked just right. Soft enough to cut with minimal pressure and an au gratin that was crispy but, not dry. Just the right amount of oil and spices. Creating a great flavor that complemented a fresh tomato. The service is quite good and on par for a quality restaurant. Since I visited during the Pandemic the restaurant was observing social distancing with minimal tables and a smaller wait staff. There was a place where there may have been a small club inside but, it was closed. There is a full service bar. I selected an Espresso Martini that was again keeping with the restaurant's theme. Flavorful and full to the glass rim. After enjoying the warm bread, appetizer, entree and drink I had no room for dessert. Perhaps on my next visit I will skip the appetizer to try the dessert menu and an aperitif.

This food is amazing! We ordered takeout from here twice in one week because it was that good! We have only ordered take out and tried something different each time and everything is so good and fresh!

My ABSOLUTELY “favorite” place in the NEAR Western ‘burbs worth the 45 min drive! My table was by the front OPEN window on a warm afternoon. Gorgeous fresh tasty food with attentive service by wait staff, bartender, AND ever-present owners including kitchen chef! Especially LOVE the Beef Wellington & layered AuGratin, savory Coq Au Vin, too!

Small little restraunt in lower level of quaint hotel. Set among some historic architecture of oak Park. Service wasn't bad but a little slow. Food and ambience was excellent. We had a few breakfast/lunch sandwiches. Good selection of drinks and desserts.
