They have a great beer selection and they are open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. One of the few places in Oak Park that stay open past midnight. You need to try their amazing fries! I like the Truffle Parmesan Fries and the ultimate guilty pleasure... the Chorizo Cheese Fries... Delish!

I have been on date nights here at Citrine and it is super cozy and romantic. The food is amazing and they have a nice size outdoor seating area right next to the Oak Park CTA Train station. They have a good wine selection.

Drinks & Nightlife

Maya is a wonderful Mexican fine dining restaurant with live entertainment and great margaritas. And on a nice summer night, their outdoor patio is the best place to relax with friends and drink a cold drink. My favorite cocktail is the Mangaso (Mango Rum, Mango Puree, and Fresh Lime Juice) Delicioso!!

Shopping

Trends is hands down my favorite clothing store in Oak Park. It is a high end consignment store and I have found the most fabulous designer outfits within my budget. One time I scored a Diane Von Furstenberg dress and a Kate Spade Purse all under $50!!
