Indoor dine-in starts Tomorrow, please make Reservations. We're only allowed 25% capacity! Open at 11 AM - 10 PM

01/14/2021

For more than two months, Illinois has shut down indoor service at restaurants in every region of the state. We are one of
only three states with a complete statewide shutdown of indoor dining. These extreme restrictions are devastating our hospitality community.

Hospitality businesses have been surviving the winter by exhausting all remaining funds, laying off their teams, or closing up operations. Restaurants are out of time, and they need a more reasonable – and immediate – path forward in order to survive. Click the link below to send a message to Governor Pritzker and leaders in the General Assembly to allow the hospitality industry to safely open their indoor operations as soon as possible.
