Oyster Bar popolari a Melrose Park

We were regulars at the downtown Chicago restaurant until they regrettably closed. We were so looking forward to the new restaurant opening. We drove in rush hour traffic from Wilmette to Oak Brook, and were NOT disappointed. We were greeted by a very sweet hostess and shown to our table. Our waitress was Terre. She couldn’t have been more engaging and personable. The busser, Isisidro, made sure we had fresh water and plenty of bread. He was so friendly. The manager, Michael, came over to introduce himself. We had a nice conversation and he made us feel at home. My wife and I split a delightful Caesar salad. She had the Chilean Sea Bass, while I had the best lamb chops on the planet (so big I could only eat one). We split the Asparagus and the Crab Fried Rice. The fried rice is beyond this world. The Eddie V’s Oakbrook location is every bit as great as the Chicago location was. We’ll be sure to make the trek on a regular basis.

5 stars all around! The service was perfect! The food was to die for. The best brunch I think I’ve ever had. If your a Bloody Mary fan it was different and delicious! If your an octopus fan, you MUST try it! We can’t wait to go back to try everything else!

Do yourself a favor, check it out. Find the restaurant, past the bar, there is a hidden gem there!
