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.

    1776 is one of our favorite places to eat when we want to do something special - for ourselves or people we love. It's always a rewarding experience and everyone we've introduced to it loves it, too. The food is exceptional - always perfectly composed, flavored, and delicious. (ASK FOR THE GLUTEN-FREE BREAD - it's not just that it's good for gluten-free - it's that it's probably the best bread we've ever had ... period. We always purchase a loaf to take home to continue our enjoyment!) Service is also exceptional - warm, attentive, professional. It's clear that the people who work there love what they do, are proud of the restaurant, and communicate their enthusiasm. I'm already planning my next visit!

    Great food but was very disappointed that they took the salmon off the menu. Not a big selection of entrees.

    We were very happy with everything at 1776. We had Heather as our waitress, and she showered us with attention. The drinks and food were brought out in a good time able fashion and felt overall a 5-star rating. Thank you. If I have one issue at all, though it's a small one, I would tell the chef that the lentils with the Duck Confit weren't a perfect match though very delicious.

    Everyone here was so delightful! The drinks were delicious and the service was great. Came here for my sister‘s 21st birthday and the owner was so sweet and gracious. Someone bought our drinks at the bar and someone else that we don’t know covered our whole meal! We were blown away by the whole experience and had planned to pay top dollar. Highly recommend!!

    1776 is our go to special occasion restaurant. If you have dietary concerns, the staff is incredibly helpful. Our waitress, whose name I regret not getting was wonderful. She took the time to get the ingredient breakdown to address our question about the soup. Good was and always is amazing.

    The wait staff was amazing, checking continuously but not overbearing. The food was made perfectly and did not take long to come out at all. Great experience, I will be going back.
