Top Waukegan Venues

We believe great food is born from the best ingredients. The cooking process begins with many questions and informed decisions. Which farm? What are the farming practices? Which breed of animal? Where are the fish from and how were they caught and handled? Which variety of sea salt is best for each dish? What type of oil? Each dish should be healthy, appear simple and show respect for the ingredients. Regular menu items include oak smoked beef brisket, hickory smoked chicken, dry rub ribs done with apple and cherry wood & apple-hickory smoked pulled pork. Since no man can live on barbeque alone, we will also offer a daily menu featuring local products and world flavors. Soups, salads, fresh fish, and interesting takes on sashimi. We also have fantastic desserts for those of you with a sweet tooth. We LOVE hosting private events. Let us help you plan and host the perfect private or semi-private event to celebrate any occasion. 210 can accommodate groups of any size with an assortment of delicious homemade menu items, craft beers, interesting cocktails and a variety of entertainment options to delight your guests. We will make your next event easy, affordable and stress free!

La Taverna, a charming restaurant and bar in Siena, Italy, served as a major source of inspiration for DineAmic Hospitality owners Lucas Stoioff and David Rekhson when they were developing Siena Tavern. The inspiration led to a more polished and expansive version suitable for River North. However, Stoioff and Rekhson still yearned for an Italian bar and restaurant that was more in keeping with their original concept in terms of size and liveliness. Bar Siena was established in Chicago's Fulton Market - West Loop district three years later. A second Bar Siena in Skokie's Westfield Old Orchard Mall was established in 2022. Our passionate and skilled events team is ready to plan the event of your dreams at Bar Siena, no matter the occasion or size! Browse our spaces and explore our private events guide via our website. The menu at Bar Siena, which pays homage to several Italian regions, is a little bit smaller than that at Siena Tavern and changes more frequently. The dining options at Bar Siena are perfect for customers who want to sample everything, share it all with others, and have a memorable experience.
