Located in the Berger Park Cultural Center, on Sheridan just north of Granville, the restaurant is between two of the few remaining mansions that once lined Chicago’s Lakefront.

Try one of their of fresh salads, a beef & bacon BBQ sandwich or even a lobster roll. Place your order at the entrance and join us at the tables. We will have an EVC sign at the table so you can spot us. The café doesn’t take reservations, so arrive early to avoid a long wait in line.
