Our Story
151 Kitchen | Bar is a locally owned restaurant located in the heart of charming, downtown Elmhurst across from York Theater. Our executive chef and his culinary team bring the Chicago dining experience to the western suburbs with a focus on honoring midwestern dishes and locally sourced ingredients; while taking a unique approach to classic American cuisine. The menu is anchored by seasonality and complemented by an extensive beverage program that works in tandem with the food menu. Seasonally inspired cocktails, local craft beers, and thoughtfully curated wine selections are central to our beverage program. The versatility of 151’s menu is reflected in the dining experience it offers to its guests who can choose to order an entree at the bar, a small plate al fresco, or multiple plates to share among friends in the dining area.
