We had breakfast here after one night in the Drake Hotel. How cool was it to be dining in a spot that you know some of the most infamous names in Chicago's history held court. We loved the "private-ish" booths, the service was excellent, and overall we found the food to be good. It's all fairly basic breakfast items but they do them well here.
I had an egg white omelet with hashbrowns. Egg whites are easy to overcook and these were done perfectly.
My wife's poached egg also was done just as she liked it. The coffee was decent and a few levels above the disappointing "browned waters" of some places.
And the English muffin was toasted perfectly. (I can't tell you how many times I get toast or an English muffin which is just underdone. Good job Cafe on Oak.)
Nothing particularly creative, out of the box or "brunchy" here but if you want a basic breakfast, done exactly as it should be done, and an historic atmosphere. This could be the spot for you!
Just perfect! Excelent taste, service, attention and Full experience after passing through an 100 years old hotel were you can feel and smell the history embedded on the walls!
You can feel the history in this cozy and quaint breakfast spot. Staff is very accommodating and I found my breakfast experience to be lovely .
