Hemmingway's Bistro

A French-American bistro in downtown Oak Park that's built a loyal following on the classics done properly: coq au vin, duck a l'orange, a beef Wellington that comes up often in reviews, and a Sunday brunch with live jazz that regulars plan their weekends around.

The weekday happy-hour move is a genuinely good one — $2 fresh oysters on a rotating afternoon window, Monday through Saturday.

It's the kind of neighborhood bistro that doesn't chase trends, just keeps a tight French menu running well enough that it's pulled in over 1,300 OpenTable reviews at a 4.6-plus average, numbers that don't happen by accident in a suburb with no shortage of dining options.
