This place appears to be a local favorite and fills up quick with reservations on the weekend…read more Packing is in a lot throughout the shopping center. The staff who greeted us was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were sat with the stipulation that there was a reservation behind us in an hour and a half which was very doable for us. I do not partake in alcohol so I was appreciative of the zero proof menu options. I ordered the Jesse and it was sweet but sour, it balanced itself very well. My fiance loved his old fashioned with an orange and fig bourbon. Our waiter was direct and down to business, likely because they were busy, but a great waiter none the less. The food was excellent! Elevated American bar food that was cooked to perfection and had some nice fusion flavors: sesame tuna with edamame, goat cheese, walnuts and a special kind of beet that made my salad fresh and earthy. Truffle and onions with smashed burger dipped in bubbly cheese is a comfort food dream. Same with the Mac n cheese with bacon, really tickles the indulgence fancy! I do recommend this place, especially if you have friends who love bourbon or other kinds of whiskey!

We came right after opening at 4, and nobody was really inside. We were sat in Tracy's area. She…read morewas knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the Pirates Garden. It was very tart like cranberry and not very strong. I also ordered the grilled chicken sliders no mayo or tomato. It came with two. They were tasty. Slightly overcooked, but the cheese helped enough. I also had to order fries on the slide, which was slightly disappointing because the two sliders are already $15 and fries $8.50, even though I didn't order the side sauces that come with it. It felt $2 overpriced in both instances. I don't know if I'd get again, but the fries were seasoned well. My fiancé ordered the braised pork shoulder. The meat was tender and had a decent flavor. The mac and cheese was okay, nothing special. Overall, the dish was drowned in too much barbecue sauce to the point he felt he was eating more sauce than the entree. He subbed sprouts with fries, which were tasty. He wouldn't order again. It was a big portion though. Service was good. Music was okay, a bit random, but still fun.

Great local owners that live right in the area and are in touch with the community. Thank you so much for bringing a wonderful establishment with great food and great cocktails to the area.

Visited Oakview Public House recently for dinner. When we arrived we only had to wait a short…read morewhile for a table. Oakview is nicely decorated with ample seating. It is quite open so it can get noisy at times, but the ambiance is great. We ordered our drinks and had a main server & trainee. We ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer. Ordered a burger with no cheese, mac and cheese with fries, shrimp tacos and short rib grilled cheese. Everything was delicious though the burger first came out with cheese on it so we had to wait for a new one while everyone else had their meals. Oakview Public house is located off Green Oaks Parkway near the 12 Oaks Community. There is ample parking though the lot is a little small & as businesses join the area they may need more parking.

Armed with a gift certificate I'd been gifted, and with the current menu looking good, we made a reservation for an early Friday night dinner the 4th of July weekend, which was also a First Friday, so we were a little concerned about parking, but we got there a little early and got one of the two remaining spots in their small lot out back. We chose to eat downstairs, which also meant we could get in a little earlier. Upstairs doesn't open until 5:30. We had 5:15 reservations in the Tavern. Dinner was very pleasant. Our Server (Justin I believe) was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and specials, down to the smallest detail and even shared special prices without having to be asked. Love that! We started with an Italian Chardonnay for me and a dirty martini for Him. They brought us a very plain looking bread that was full of subtle flavors that blended beautifully. For apps I had to try the Quail which was so wonderful and way heartier than I expected. I ate every bit of it and could have left happy but we had already ordered mains. He started with the Calamari which was not top of Justin's list, but it was decent. And so much that he couldn't finish it all. For entrees, I had the Swordfish, which honestly I wouldn't do again. The veggies on it were pretty much raw, and while I don't care for mushy veggies, I don't want them raw either. And overall, the flavors in this dish weren't a big hit with me, even leftover when I was hungrier, just not my thing despite the great sounding description. He enjoyed the heck out of his paella, with only one critique, and that was that he would have preferred a crispy bottom to the rice. We were too full for dessert. Of course this is fine dining, so prices are up there, but not outrageously so. I did think it was silly that they charged an extra dollar for the blue cheese stuffed olives for His martini though.

Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

Absolutely love Postino! This is my go to lunch spot with coworkers. We've been numerous times…read moreand are never disappointed. My go to meal is the half panini and tomato soup. Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.

Very helpful and her service was exceptional .. smiling all the way and suggesting good stuff. They just had few beers on tap . I liked the home brewed wheat beer. Light and tasted good . Wish they had few other brands on tap. IPA on tap was also average. They did have bottles and other options .. lots of tables to sit and drink. Parking is a problem here z tough to get one closer to the hotel . Overall a good experience , just because of Lois ..

I think 41Hundred is a solid spot to grab some appetizers and drinks when you are in North Hills!…read moreIf everywhere else is on a wait on a weekend evening, 41Hundred becomes a bit of a hidden gem. I like the decor of the place, but not surprising it can be pretty dead so that kind of tanks the ambiance. We recently went in on a Sunday evening and for awhile besides a few people at the bar the space was pretty empty. We ordered at the bar and sat down at one of the tables, the waitress did come over afterwards to check on us and refill drinks. On to the food! I think it's pretty freaking delicious! That oxtail poutine?!?! Man o' man could I eat that every freaking day. It's seriously delicious. The oxtail melts in your mouth and the gravy is beyond flavorful. We also really enjoyed the Korean BBQ wings, solid portion to share with a group. The wings were super moist and had a kind of sweet and spicy thing going on. We also got the grilled cauliflower which was my least favorite of the group, but great option if you are trying to remain on the healthier side. I really want to try that hot cheesecake, but didn't get a chance on this visit. Overall a solid place for some really tasty food!

You need a key to get in or of you dine in at Jolie or Crawford Brothers then they can escort you down there. The bartenders are super friendly and the cocktails are always made great. The house cocktails are always interesting with unique flavors. My go to is mostly the classic old fashioned! They do liquor tastings almost every other month so if you enjoy tastings then you should definitely attend one. They are a bit expensive though at over $200 per person with tax and gratuity is extra.

The place is cute, intimate and the drinks are well crafted. The bartenders are nice and personable. It is loud since it's in a basement and small, so I personally wouldn't come with more than a group of 4, but I've seen larger groups in here. They don't serve food, so I recommend coming here for after dinner drinks or before dinner on a Sunday.

I ordered the egg roll as my appetizer and it was incredibly flavorful. I also had the Tso's chicken as my entrée and it was tasty as well. I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the place. It had a bit of a dive feel and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They were playing great music from the seventies and eighties, which added to the experience. The owner and chef was incredible. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us consistently. He was so friendly. I noticed that they host a lot of events and I would be happy to come back for one or even just to eat again. It also seems like a great place to hang out and get drinks because they have board games available. There is also an area with couches and a coffee table that looked very comfortable. It feels like a great neighborhood hangout spot.
