If youโve been following Chi@Glance for a while you know we LOVE to check out new restaurants! Yesterday I had the pleasure of checking out the new Bobbyโs Restaurant in Lincoln Park and it was delicious!
Bobby, Augie and Tim Arifi, owners of Bobby’s Restaurant Group (Bobby’s Deerfield and Cafe Lucci in Glenview), have opened their secondย Bobby’sย restaurantย location in the new luxury ELEVATE residential building, atย 2518 N. Lincoln Ave. The bi-level American bistro boasts a creative and seasonal menu with an emphasis on USDA certified Prime steaks, fresh seafood from around the world, handmade pastas and scratch made desserts. The bar features classic, craft and exclusive barrel-aged cocktails along with an extensive wine list.

The Arifis, who opened Bobbyโs Deerfield six years ago, were approached by one of the restaurantโs frequent diners, Dan Slack, principal at Baker Development, to open his favorite North Shore restaurant in his new Lincoln Park building, ELEVATE. โWhen Dan asked if weโd like to open a Bobbyโs in the city it was an instant โYesโ. We couldnโt be more excited to fulfill our dream and be a part of the Lincoln Park neighborhood,โ comments Bobby.
