Shopping at the 900 Shops on Michigan Ave. can work up quite an appetite. Although I'm not a big shopper, I am a frequent guest there mainly because of my better half. Even though my window shopping is limited, I tend to venture to the 6th floor to check out Oak Tree, my favorite restaurant in the building.
After closing down for several weeks to renovate, Oak Tree reopened with a new look and new menu items. The layout remains very similar but the colors are more inviting and modern. Mosaic tiles along with soothing colors accent the room. The food continues to be tasty, but folks are raving about their Epicurean Toasted Cheese items. Some of the new sandwiches featured include:
"Roquefort & Pear, Candied Pecans, Mozzarella, Spinach and Fig Preserves"
"Ham & Gruyere, Arugula, Mozzarella and Grilled Onions"
"Cheddar & Asparagus, Fontina, Spinach and Ham"
"Turkey & Cranberry, Roquefort, Spinach and Mozzarella"
"Cheddar & Fig Preserves, Watercress, Grilled Onion and Roquefort"
A few new "900 Coolers" were added as well, such as the "Cucumber-Lime Cooler", "Raspberry-Mint Agua Fresca", and "Citrus or White Grape Spritzer". These drinks are very refreshing and a welcomed break from the normal colas. Don't forget to ask about their new desserts. The cookie tray is nicely done with a variety of scones, brownies and cookies. The prices have increased a bit, so if you're a frequent guest don't be too surprised.
Oak Tree is located on the 6th floor in the 9oo north building and is open for breakfast, lunch and a very late lunch.
