Yolk is a great chain! The food is always so good! 1st time at the Oak Park River Forest location. I got the Rickey Omelet and my partner got the Corned Beef and Eggs. Our server was super sweet. The lady who brought out our food spilled the whole tray of our food; the 1st time brought out our food. My partner got syrup all over her shirt because of the error. She definitely should have brought the table/holder tray stand for bringing out the food. I do understand mistakes happen.

Fast & friendly service, nice open area that did not feel loud or crowded. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. My husband loved his coffee. I could eat a full plate of the banana nut waffles daily. Never a complaint with Yolk and when we left our to go bag behind the busser ran after us and brought it to our car! This location went above and beyond and we cannot wait to return.

Food and ambience at Yolk was great. We were here for a celebratory brunch and enjoyed our time. All the entrees tasted good. The only complaint was that the tables are too close and there was an extra chatty group next to us which was disturbing. Would be nice to keep larger groups in a different section since the restaurant is not that small.
