ABOUT BOLTWOOD:

Boltwood, the Evanston staple, opened in 2014 by chef Brian Huston, and was the realization of the dream born through his determination to open a restaurant of his own in Evanston, a restaurant that would serve friends and family (both old and new) with creative fresh food and warm hospitality. Brian was born and raised in Evanston and always knew that when he had his own restaurant that it was going to be in Evanston.

Brian worked in the kitchens of many notable Chicago restaurants, such as Spiaggia Restaurant and Blackbird. He took his passion for food to Colorado, San Francisco, and Europe before being brought back to Illinois to serve as Chef de Cuisine of The Publican. This is when Brian was brought back to his long-term goal, which was realized when he opened Boltwood in Evanston. His dedication and passion for locally sourced and market-driven ingredients is at the foundation of every dish on the menu. Relationships with local farmers drive each plate that leaves the kitchen. The result is a simple and ever-changing meu that delivers new and exciting flavors each day. Boltwood is a place people can always come back to and feel at home.

Boltwood has since continued to serve fresh and innovative food in a welcoming community atmosphere. Boltwood has received an abundance of recognition and was a 2015 James Beard Semifinalist for “Best Chef: Great Lakes”. Boltwood has been applauded as one of The 17 Best Restaurants in the Chicago Suburbs by Thrillist as well as one of the 2015 Best New Restaurants by Chicago Magazine.
