At The Grand, dining is more than a meal—it’s an invitation to slow down, pull up a chair, and truly be together. Our handcrafted menu is designed for sharing, encouraging plates to be passed, new favorites to be discovered, and conversations to linger just a little longer. Every dish strikes that sweet spot between familiar and unexpected, refined yet deeply welcoming.

Ce n’è per tutti—there’s something for everyone—and every visit feels like an experience worth returning to again and again.

Step inside our historic Main Street home and you’ll feel it immediately: nearly 200 years of stories held within its beams and floorboards. Long before today, this building was known as Elliott’s Grand Hotel, a cornerstone of early Wauconda hospitality. Our name is a direct homage to that era—honoring what this place once was while thoughtfully shaping what it can become for generations to come.

From the creak of the original floors to the hum of new memories being made, The Grand is a place for everyone. Casual weeknight dinners, game-day gatherings, milestone celebrations—ce n’è per tutti. This is a home where history, hospitality, hunger, and happiness meet, and where every shared plate helps write the next chapter of a beloved legacy.

We’re aiming for an early 2026 opening and will be revealing more details, one chapter at a time.
