Best French American Restaurants in Prospect Heights

Wonderful dinner. Celebrating my friends birthday, our waiter went above and beyond. Every dish was flavorful. We had the octopus, moules frites, escargot, mussels, duck and salmon. And the white cream brulee topped with fruit. Delightful! We had a mix of drinks, great menu. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and had a lovely time. We went at 7pm on a Saturday.

We were there at a time when because of COVID-19 few people were dining out. We went early and enjoyed a very tasty meal. Unfortunately as with many restaurants, the lights, already relatively dim, were turned down at a certain point. This is a tacky habit and one never a consideration for some of the best restaurants where food is meant to be appreciated both for taste and for presentation. I hope the owners will rethink this idea. Has anyone ever surveyed the public? Would they not go to the restaurant if they didn't turn down the lights? If the menu is as good as it is here, I doubt it. On the other hand, I will have to consider if I want to go back because good food or not, I want to see my dinner companions and my food!

Excellent and easy!

Just went in for brunch. Everything was great for the most part. The potatoes are the only thing that tasted a little off. But it was fine.

In my efforts to court a very sweet girl, I decided to take a chance and take her to White Oak for our second date. Upon arriving, the wonderfully friendly bartender (Mark) easily identified me as someone taking out a girl and did a great job of making me feel incredibly welcome while I waited for her to arrive. This guy, it's hard to explain just how awesomely friendly he was. Once she arrived we quickly grabbed a seat. We both got the mushroom ravioli - which we both loved, and that was it. We were there for 4 hours talking and at no time did we ever feel that we were rushed or treated with any less attention or respect despite the fact that we did not order much. The place was fairly empty, but I feel we would have received the same level of service even if it was packed. This is definitely going to be a place that I come to over and over again. Needless to say the date went great, I like to think the setting helped out with that. This is a great spot and while I would normally regret not knowing about it earlier, I feel that my first visit was the ideal first visit. Thanks for a great night!
