The chef team at Oak Park.

Our philosophy stems from partnering with local farmers and sourcing local products to inspire and shape our menu. By combining that philosophy with the skills we developed in New York and Chicago, and working alongside a team who has the same drive and desire, we’re delivering something special to Des Moines.
