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.

    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!

    The food was great but our waitress, Heather, she took it up a notch. My husband is a vegetarian, we ordered a charcuterie app for the table. Heather thoughtfully brought the meats in a separate plate and the breads, cheeses and condiments in another. That was incredibly thoughtful of her, we did not even ask, she did it on her own. That kind of service is what makes a great evening extraordinary. Thank you!

    The trout entrée and the halibut entrée were excellent. The crab cake "nosh" was very well prepared, and tasted great.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was delightful. One of our favorite places to dine and having a gluten allergy, I am thankful for a safe dining option.

    Portions were moderate to skimpy for the price. Our friends arrived a little later than expected, so our dining time together was subtracted from our allotted social/dining time. It was our first get together with them and I do not like to be told to rush.
