My experience as it relates to the restaurant inside of the Carleton of Oak Park. The restaurant itself is cozy and relaxing, though the main focus is clearly the bar, a massive circle that sits in the center of the room. The food is ok, it's not special though the menu has a good variety of things for most tastes, with a price that seems elevated simply because it's in a 'boutique' hotel. I had the fish and chips, a bar classic, and again it was lackluster in appearance, the portion was decent, the fries soggy in places. The waitress was nice, friendly and accommodating. They have a good beer menu, and by the looks of it a good selection of the hard stuff. It's a good place to eat with a group, there were more than 7 of us and we had a private area which was adequate. Not special, but decent would be my final verdict.
