Outdoor Dining At Highland Park Restaurants: Take Our Survey

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — Restaurants and bars in many Chicago suburbs will be able to open Friday for limited in-person service for the first time in 10 weeks, as those with open-air seating may open as part of Phase 3 of Gov. J.B. Pritzker's Restore Illinois plan.

Establishments with private patios, rooftops, or open-window space where more than half of a wall can be removed may begin offering dining services beginning May 29. Highland Park has begun offering temporary permits for expanded outdoor dining areas, with plans to potentially designate areas in Central and Ravinia business districts for physically distanced outdoor dining.

With Highland Park and Highwood eateries set to begin to be able to offer outdoor dining, we're looking to hear from you. To share your thoughts, please fill out our brief five-question survey regarding your future dining plans. Thanks in advance for your participation and ongoing support of local businesses.
