The Table at Crate in Oakbrook, Illinois

I’ve been wanting to checking out this restaurant at Crate and Barrel for awhile. It came to Oakbrook Mall a few years ago, and it always intrigues me when retail stores open up restaurants inside the shop, like is it worth the hype or is it going to be a massive flop. I ended up liking The Table a lot, however, I wish I knew in advance that it is definitely on the healthier side of menus and for someone who watches a lot of cooking shows, there were so many words I had never heard of. Lots of googling needed.

Ok, you’re probably wondering Meghan the items you ordered aren’t classified as healthy. But trust me, it was all the ingredients that made it feel healthy. I got the shrimp & grits and massive heads up as this has an unbelievable kick. It probably was from the three ingredients I didn’t bother looking up. Definitely cleared your sinuses. The spice level was almost to the point that I wouldn’t have been able to eat it but getting some plain grits helped offset the spice. Everything from this menu was super unique and unlike anything I’ve had before. My overall rating 8/10!
