El Tapeo is a modern Spanish kitchen located on the ninth floor of Le Méridien Oak Brook, offering a refined dining experience with sweeping views. It's described as a hidden gem, providing a relaxed and modern ambiance, and is known for its handcrafted cocktails and family-style sharing plates.
Customers consistently praise El Tapeo for its delicious and flavorful food, with many highlighting the paella and tapas. The service is generally described as good, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant's ambiance is noted as chill, relaxed, and modern, with the elevated location offering nice views, especially at sunset. Some customers appreciate the larger-than-typical tapas portions and the availability of a kids' menu. A minor complaint noted was an outdated online menu that didn't reflect current offerings.
