Southern Chicago unveiled its plans to open in Chicago’s South Loop this summer, bringing contemporary Southern American brunch, cocktails, and dinner to the neighborhood.
An independent concept created and owned by executive chef Xavier Vance and entrepreneur Troy Vivrett, the restaurant will center big, bold flavors within a comfortable yet upscale environment, creating a welcoming fine-dining experience for Chicagoans and visitors alike.
Located at 2000 S. Wabash Ave., the globally-inspired, 6,700-square-foot restaurant space will offer a modern and approachable take on southern and American favorites, from a brunch menu that includes staples like shrimp and grits and oysters Rockefeller to a cocktail and dinner program that offers filet mignon and a southern tower of seafood and meats.
To cultivate an environment that fosters that connection, each aspect of Southern Chicago captures a globally-inspired, upscale ambiance.
Marble dining tables and 30-foot booths are surrounded by two olive trees and greenery underneath chandeliers. Bifold windows will open to a 140-seat patio.
In addition, Southern Chicago will offer a 1,900-square-foot private event space for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate events.
To ensure the best possible hospitality experience, Vance and Vivrett have placed a deep focus on Southern Chicago’s staff, partnering with the City of Chicago’s Workforce Services and FoodLab Chicago to partner with top hospitality service workers throughout the city and spending extensive time in the kitchen and dining areas ahead of opening.
