Menu costs and the winter listings
At the time checked, Tock lists the Dining Room at $325 per person and Kitchen Table at $375. Separate Winter 2026-2027 listings are $345 and $395. Use the listing for your chosen date; do not assume the lower price applies year-round. Check the live experience listings.
- Two Dining Room menus: $650, or $690 under the winter listing.
- Two Kitchen Table menus: $750, or $790 under the winter listing.
Those calculations cover food only, before tax, drinks, any service charge and extras. The kitchen-table difference is $100 for two in either set of listings. That gives you a concrete question to discuss: is the setting worth that amount to your group? Confirm the checkout terms and cancellation policy before paying.
Reservations and dietary planning
Bookings open on a rolling 90-day calendar through Tock. Oriole says all available reservations are online and offers a waitlist. Dietary requests need at least 24 hours' notice, but some restrictions cannot be accommodated; contact the restaurant before booking to confirm yours. Reservation calendar; Visitor FAQ.
Our recommendation is to separate three decisions: date, seating format and dietary approval. A suitable date in the calendar does not resolve the other two. If the trip depends on this meal, confirm all three before purchasing non-refundable travel or arranging another timed event.
Pairings or a bottle?
Oriole offers spirit-free, standard and reserve pairings, plus cocktails and a wine list. Its published corkage policy permits up to two 750ml bottles per reservation at $50 each. Beverage options and corkage.
We did not verify current pairing prices, so they are not built into the food subtotals above. Ask for the price of the option you actually want. If considering your own bottle, include both its purchase price and corkage when comparing it with the restaurant's list.
For two people, one bottle carries a listed $50 corkage fee; two carry $100, before any applicable charges. That arithmetic helps compare choices, but says nothing about how much wine is suitable for your party. Plan transport independently of the beverage decision.
Arrival and timing
Oriole is at 661 W. Walnut Street. Its FAQ says there is no valet and points to a garage at 650 W. Fulton Market. There is no dress code. Address; Parking and dress information.
We have not verified a fixed dinner duration. Ask Oriole directly if an end time matters, and leave room for the extended menu rather than estimating from another restaurant's schedule. Check access arrangements directly if anyone in your party needs step-free entry or particular seating.
For another West Loop dinner, compare Smyth's two menu formats and November change or Ever's food-and-service budget. Compare the same components for each: food, mandatory charges, drinks and the setting you would actually select.
