Established in 2007, The Waterfront Café aims to be the premier dining and performance venue along the Chicago lakefront, balancing a vibrant atmosphere with the inviting charm of a neighborhood gathering spot. Operating for less than five months each year, our focus is on maximizing revenue through strategic sales initiatives while effectively managing expenses. Every detail, from our menu selections to the ambiance, is thoughtfully curated to ensure that patrons feel both welcomed and indulged. As we strive to create memorable experiences, we remain committed to our mission of being a beloved fixture in the heart of the community, where exceptional food and entertainment flourish in harmony with the scenic lakeside setting.
