Restaurants near Old Courthouse Arts Center

I have Celiac Disease so getting the opportunity to go to a restaurant like 1776 is amazing, but beyond that, it is an outstanding restaurant in every way without even considering that all their fantasicly fabulous dishes are 100% gluten free, and prepared in a 100% gluten free kitchen and restaurant. It would no doubt be a special dinner every time for anyone at 1776, but for someone with Celiac's Disease, it is culinary heaven on earth. On top of all that, the people are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable, the presentation is superb, and the service is top notch. It has instantly become my new favorite restaurant, by a long shot. Thank you 1776!

Everything was great. We were early for our reservation and they seated us ahead of time. Our server Jennifer was great. Answered any questions we had about the menu. Food was amazing. I am pretty picky, but have to say, couldn't really find anything to complain about haha. We will definitely go back.

They have a nice selection of wine, small plates and other items. We started with the Petite Syrah wine by the glass which was very good! For food we started with the Gouda gnocchi-very good but quite rich, and then split the short rib sandwich-delicious! Hope to be back again!

While Crystal Lake Junction offers traditional American fare, I’m partial to the Portuguese and Mediterranean influenced offerings on the menu. The Beer Can Chicken options and assorted “bowls” offer up savory and unique options in Crystal Lake.

Great selection of beer, excellent pizza as always and our wait staff were extremely attentive and friendly. I highly recommend!
