If you're a fan of delicious food, a relaxed yet elegant ambiance, and wonderful live jazz over the weekends, then Eastgate Cafe is the place for you. Nestled in Chicago's historic Oak Park, this basement bistro is a hidden treasure that consistently delivers satisfaction and often offers delightful surprises. You really need to check it out! However, we have some unfortunate news: the charming Eastgate and its renowned jazz sessions have now closed. The owners are relocating out of state, leaving the future of the venue uncertain.
Easy to find, right in the heart of the Art district. I parked my car right opposite the cafe, I guess that was possible only because I came here on my lunch break and traffic was light. I ordered a marinated chicken breast sandwich and sweet iced tea. The ice tea was a rich in raspberry flavor, reminiscent of what I have had in London Soho district and the sandwich, healthy, devoid of cheese and fattening cream. I dare say it was tasteful, sweet... just like the pleasant Serbian lady Violeta who attended to me. I liked it.
We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! We visited on Saturday and were treated to live music, which added to the enjoyment of our evening. I highly recommend this place for friends and family. Owners Pat and Olia have truly created something special in the heart of Oak Park.
This charming and cozy restaurant offers delicious food and excellent service. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the timeless vibe of the place. They also have a nice selection of books to read. The outdoor patio is lovely, and they feature live jazz music on weekend evenings.
