We’re a farm-to-table restaurant that’s redefining what fine dining means. We work with local vendors and farmers to find the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. We understand the challenges of finding high-quality options that unique, vegan or allergy-friendly, especially since the owner has Celiac Disease herself, among other dietary restrictions. Our kitchen creates fresh food from scratch every day and can customize to your needs, so we’ve got you covered. Plus, we're the only restaurant in McHenry County to have received Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, and our expert staff can help you choose the perfect pairing.

For us, fine dining is more than the very best in food, service and atmosphere. It’s a conversation and a connection to others. We believe everyone deserves good food so we’ve started a movement to do just that.


****ANY RESERVATION REQUESTS FOR PARTIES OVER 4 GUESTS PLEASE CONTACT RHIENNA@1776RESTAURANT.COM OR CALL DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS W-SAT.

    Portions were moderate to skimpy for the price. Our friends arrived a little later than expected, so our dining time together was subtracted from our allotted social/dining time. It was our first get together with them and I do not like to be told to rush.

    Arrived a few mins late but table wasn’t ready anyways. Sat for 30 mins in the bar area with no update … checked back in with hostess and they had no answers for me. Pretty disappointing. We ended up eating in the bar area and wld have just done that if we knew it was an option from get go. Terrible communication by staff.

    Exactly what you’d expect from farm to table dining. From both salad options through three different entree selections the prep and freshness stood out.

    Me and my girlfriend who has a gluten allergy went here for our anniversary and we’re not disappointed. The service was incredible and my girlfriend loved being able to pick anything off the menu with no worries about what might have gluten. The food was delicious even if you don’t have a gluten sensitivity and they had a vast selection of wine to choose from as well which was nice. Would highly recommended to anyone who has never tried this place before.
