“The experience is in the simplicity of it all.”
“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” – James Beard
Who are we??
We are a Contemporary American Concept, with our unique twist on food and spirits. Featuring a mix of dry-aged (in house) steaks, fresh seafood and raw bar, creative small plates, fresh pastas, exciting entrees, salads and more, all made in a scratch kitchen!
We will certainly be one of the most sought after establishments in Downers Grove...
With the help of passionate, motivated and friendly employees delivering casual (yet attentive) service, Entourage easily paves the way for the ultimate guest experience. Our ownership/management team comes with a history of managing many of THE "go-to" restaurants in the Chicagoland area. With over a century of collective experience, we've seen it all!!!
What is different about us?
We offer a fun, exciting, family oriented environment with a casual hospitality vibe while maintaining razor sharp focus on the details. Growth potential is possible for those who have a desire to learn, progress, and become keyholders with Supervisory responsibilities.
