As we prepare for the James Beard Awards in Chicago, we’re reflecting on the honor of receiving a James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design (75 seats and under).

From the dining experience to the smallest design details, we believe inspiring design creates lasting memories for our guests.

We’re honored to celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship, and hospitality that make our industry so special—and thrilled to welcome the James Beard Awards to our hometown.

Here’s to an unforgettable week in Chicago! ✨
