    Hidden gem with flavorful seasonal menu. Small plates and large plate options. We split two small plates (cauliflower and crostini), a salad and one large plate (slow cooked ribs). Plenty of food and each dish fill off interesting flavors.

    We had the short ribs and the flat iron steak. Calamari for the appetizer and root beer cookies for dessert. Dinner and service was good Unfortunately, there were unsupervised children playing loudly a couple of tables away. We did not see any parents throughout the entire meal. Management could not find the parents?

    The Chicken Bacon Jam pizza was good, not great. The Burrata (sp?) cheese was dolloped on and covered the chicken and jam, obliterating the flavors of those two. I love their pizza crust. Service was a little slow, but VV seems to be chronically understaffed. However, the staff is long term, so we have gotten to know them and enjoy their service. I am a Wine Club member, so the meal is usually quite reasonable.

    This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
