Elizabeth Restaurant Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary

September Tasting Pays Homage to Chef Regan's Opening Menu

Elizabeth Restaurant, located in Lincoln Square, first opened its doors in September of 2012. To celebrate the 10 year milestone in elevated dining, the acclaimed restaurant will offer a special menu during the month of September. The prix fixe features recreations of Chef Iliana Regan's opening dishes, passionately produced by owner Tim Lacey, Executive Chef Ian Jones and the culinary team at Elizabeth.

Working in consultation with Chef Regan, Chef Jones was able to "reverse engineer" Elizabeth's opening menu, which is detailed below ($160 per person). Dining guests may add spirit-free beverage pairings ($75), wine pairings ($105) or reserve wine pairings ($150), curated by Beverage Director Ali Martin.

Elizabeth Restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday, with seatings from 5:30-9 p.m. For table reservations, visit Elizabeth-Restaurant.com.

Chef Iliana Regan's legacy of farming and foraging pure ingredients continues under the direction of owner Tim Lacey (Trio; Kitsune; Spring; Green Zebra; Custom House; Drawing Room) and Executive Chef Ian Jones (NoMI; Bavette's; Band of Bohemia; Sepia; Kitsune). Their commitment to utilizing lost or forgotten foods and each season's sustainable bounty results in simply stunning, unique and flavorful dishes. The midwestern aesthetic first begun by Chef Regan will always be celebrated.
