Editorial Review for Oak Tree Restaurant – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
Country-kitchen decor meets Mag Mile sophistication in this quirky cafe on the sixth floor of the 900 North Michigan shopping complex. Distressed paint, mismatched tablecloths and tree-branch chandeliers give the room a rustic, whimsical feel. The crowd is a chic hodgepodge of shoppers, tourists and local high-rise residents dressed for breakfast. On weekends, it's packed for breakfast and brunch, but it's easier to get a table during the week. Window tables offer views of Michigan Avenue--perfect for impressing out-of-town visitors.
The Food
Breakfast fare leans toward fancy plates like egg-white scrambles, cranberry-pecan hot cakes, and omelettes with cilantro, tomatoes and hot peppers. Try the Baltic Eggs Benedict, poached eggs with smoked salmon on an English muffin with hollandaise sauce and black caviar garnish--chic, and delicious, too. For lunch, go for a half-pound burger or meatball sandwich, or stay light and opt for one of a couple dozen salad choices.

This is one of the best values in the city. Everything I've ordered from the extensive and ecclectic menu has been excellent and the service is always friendly and quick. There is no where else in the city that I caan think of where you can command such a great view and eat so well while not spending much more than ten dollars.
Pros: Good value, Great service, Extensive menu
