Charming French Bistro Hemmingway's Bistro is located in the Write Inn in Oak Park. Despite the name tie to the famous author, there is nothing literary about this bistro. The decor is sparse yet elegant. Service can sometimes be slow and snobbish. The food is wonderful, especially the steak frites!

Was here last night for anniversary dinner. Large party in the other room had regrettably gobbled up all the beef Wellingtons, which was my aim. No worries, the rack of lamb was perfectly prepared to my medium rare/rare desire. Husband's mushroom halibut was also delicious, on bed of spinach and mashed potatoes. Mussels meunière were a delight with the crispy baguette to dip bits in the buttery wine broth. We enjoyed the unhurried service, gave us time to catch up and reminisce about our other perfect day 29 years ago! On th... read more

Autumn's Special Treat – While walking around the Hemmingway's Museum on Oaktoberfest, I found Hemmingway's Bistro across Oak Park Avenue. Hemingway's Days re foodminded me about good food in the afternoon. Hemmingway's Bistro has a Special Maine Lobster Salad served with Mango Vinaigrette, Salad Greens, Citrus and Raspberries during the Autumn Harvest Feast. I was really impressed by the large Maine Lobster succulent portions, sweet and tender to the palate. Great choice for Brunch!

A French sounding name doesn't make it good – It's been a while, but when I went there last year for lunch my partner's sandwich was served with a long hair across it. The waitress didn't seem very upset. The food was average, but more like Applebee's instead of an authentic French bistro.

asdasdfas – * Be conversational: Write it as if relaying your experience to a good friend. * Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting more detail. * Be yourself: If you're an expert on burgers, let us know. If this is your first-time massage, say so. * Compare apples to apples: Burger joints shouldn't be held to the same standards as four-star restaurants. * See User Review Guidelines

Nice place to hang around – I've been to Hemmingway's Bistro the other day and I really can say that it's a good place to spend some time. Nice mood and good food is the least I can say. You really should be there at least once in your life. Best regards, USA Grants INC

Jerry Katzman diets for the mind and soul – Many people get confused about the difference between fish oil liquid and cod liver oil. You can consider cod liver oil as fish oil+. Jerry Katzman The 2 are the same except that cod liver oil contains natural vitamin D and A. Jerry Katzman, I would recommend limiting your fish consumption and I suggest you consider replacing it with cod liver oil. This is NOT the cod liver oil which typically comes to mind, from many decades ago. Most cod liver oil from the past was and tasted ter... read more

Bon Appetit – I have been to Hemmingway's Bistro in Oak Park, IL, several times and the professionalism of the staff compliments the Owner's and the Hotel it is associated with. The food, my goodness, is delicious. Chef Ala and his wife, Lucia, personally greet each customer to see if their experience at Hemmingway's Bistro is what has been expected of a French Bistro. I believe the wine selection is excellent. This is a French Bistro, which accents French cuisine. Go to Hemmingway's Bistro, you will not regret it! Sunday Ch... read more

LOVED IT! – I found the ambiance to be romantic, the drinks, especially the martinis, were in nice tall glasses and the food to be downtown gourmet-style with great flavor, yet inexpensive. Will definitely go back!
