"Soft piano music and jazz provides a lulling soundtrack to a classy evening, where diners enjoy Italian dishes like farfalle al pollo, fettuccini alfredo, and filet mignon. The dimly lit atmosphere creates the perfect setting for romance and intimate conversation."

"The name says it all, as tapas here come with, well, a twist! Traditional tapas are turned on their heads with interesting innovations and unique combinations. Cold and hot tapas like Jerk chicken drumettes and jalapeno gnocchi make mouths water."

The Irish Oak is a mixture of Old World atmosphere in a contemporary, vibrant setting. Their extensive menu, their Fish & Chips, Irish Breakfast, and Shephard's Pie are the best in Chicago.
