The Scene – Slow-turning fans, potted palms and patterned marble floors make settling into the hushed, garden-level restaurant in the distinguished Write Inn a pleasant, relaxing experience. The come-as-you-are vibe envelops both those staying in the landmark hotel and the Oak Park dwellers who pop in while walking by. – – The Food – The hearty menu boasts a full slate of French classics. Frisee salad with bacon and poached egg is a delightful starter spritzed lightly with vinaigrette; rich, gruyere-blanketed onion soup gratinee is a tall, soothing brew that benefits…

Autumn's Special Treat
by GHung Wittler at Citysearch
While walking around the Hemmingway's Museum on Oaktoberfest, I found Hemmingway's Bistro across Oak Park Avenue. Hemingway's Days re foodminded me about good food in the afternoon. Hemmingway's Bistro has a Special Maine Lobster Salad served with Mango Vinaigrette, Salad Greens, Citrus and Raspberries during the Autumn Harvest Feast. I was really impressed by the large Maine Lobster succulent portions, sweet and tender to the palate. Great choice for Brunch!
A French sounding name doesn't make it good
by grandpauthor at Citysearch
It's been a while, but when I went there last year for lunch my partner's sandwich was served with a long hair across it. The waitress didn't seem very upset.
The food was average, but more like Applebee's instead of an authentic French bistro.

* Be conversational: Write it as if relaying your experience to a good friend.
* Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting more detail.
* Be yourself: If you're an expert on burgers, let us know. If this is your first-time massage, say so.
* Compare apples to apples: Burger joints shouldn't be held to the same standards as four-star restaurants.
* See User Review Guidelines
Nice place to hang around

I've been to Hemmingway's Bistro the other day and I really can say that it's a good place to spend some time. Nice mood and good food is the least I can say. You really should be there at least once in your life.

Jerry Katzman diets for the mind and soul
by jerrykatzmandr at Citysearch
Many people get confused about the difference between fish oil liquid and cod liver oil. You can consider cod liver oil as fish oil+. Jerry Katzman The 2 are the same except that cod liver oil contains natural vitamin D and A. Jerry Katzman, I would recommend limiting your fish consumption and I suggest you consider replacing it with cod liver oil. This is NOT the cod liver oil which typically comes to mind, from many decades ago. Most cod liver oil from the past was and tasted terrible because it was improperly processed. It is now easy to find. Jerry Katzman Several studies and trials in humans have shown a favorable effect of dietary cod liver oil and fish oil on various risk factors for cardiovascular disease
Supplementation of the diet with omega-3 fish oil and cod liver oil concentrates has shown the potential to reduce both the progression of cardiovascular disease and related mortality, including sudden cardiac death. Jerry Katzman Studies have shown that the Greenland Inuit, when compared with the population of Denmark, has a significantly lower rate of death from acute myocardial infarction despite only small differences in cholesterol levels. So cholesterol is not everything.
