What’s New This Season at The Board Room Libertyville

Every season brings something new to the table at The Board Room Libertyville, and this time, it’s more than just a few menu tweaks. From the addition of Friday lunch service to refreshed seasonal dishes and evolving specials, the restaurant continues to redefine how Libertyville enjoys local dining.

Located at 137 Lake Street in downtown Libertyville, The Board Room has become known for its shared plates, craft cocktails, and an award-winning wine list—all wrapped in a space that feels both upscale and comfortable. But what keeps guests coming back isn’t just the atmosphere. It’s the restaurant’s ability to keep things fresh, relevant, and rooted in flavor.

A Fresh Start: Friday Lunch Arrives

One of the most talked-about updates this season is the launch of Friday lunch. The team at The Board Room wanted to give guests more opportunities to enjoy their menu beyond evening hours. Lunch service now runs every Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., offering a relaxed midday experience without losing the sophistication the restaurant is known for.

It’s an ideal choice for Libertyville professionals looking to step away from their desks for an elevated lunch, or for groups of friends easing into the weekend early. With curated dishes designed to pair perfectly with the restaurant’s cocktails and wines, Friday lunch has already become a local favorite.

This new addition also makes The Board Room a versatile dining spot—open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, each offering its own distinct energy.

Seasonal Specials with Local Flair

Another highlight of this season is The Board Room’s ongoing focus on seasonal specials. Instead of completely overhauling its menu each quarter, the kitchen introduces dishes that match the mood of the season—lighter, brighter plates in spring and heartier flavors during the colder months.

The current seasonal selections include favorites like the Mixed Berry Salad with spinach, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette, as well as the Pan-Seared Mahi Mahi served with roasted spring vegetables and lemon butter. Guests have also praised the Shrimp Ceviche, featuring tomato, avocado, and cilantro, a dish that embodies the crisp, refreshing side of spring dining.

These updates reflect the restaurant’s philosophy of keeping things balanced: familiar enough for returning guests, but with new details to surprise even regulars. Every ingredient has a purpose, and every dish aims to capture the best of what’s in season.

A Dining Experience That Evolves

The Board Room Libertyville isn’t a place that stays still for long. Each season, the kitchen and bar teams collaborate to rethink how guests experience flavor—from small plates to cocktails to the presentation itself.

The concept of shared plates remains at the heart of their dining style. Whether it’s charcuterie, flatbreads, or crafted seafood dishes, the idea is to make food part of the social experience. Instead of sticking to one entrée, guests can explore a range of flavors across the table.

Pair that with one of their craft cocktails or a glass from their award-winning wine list, and the result is a meal that feels both spontaneous and thoughtfully designed. The restaurant’s bartenders often introduce new cocktails aligned with seasonal ingredients, ensuring there’s always something unexpected on the drink menu.

A Space Built for Connection

The Board Room has always placed as much care into its environment as it does into its menu. The interiors are warm and polished, featuring deep tones, comfortable seating, and lighting that strikes a balance between lively and intimate.

It’s a space designed for connection—friends gathering for a night out, couples sharing a charcuterie board, teams hosting small celebrations, or families coming together over brunch. Every corner feels intentionally built to make guests linger just a little longer.

With late-night hours extending past midnight on select days, The Board Room has also become one of downtown Libertyville’s go-to destinations for post-dinner cocktails and snacks. The late bar menu caters to guests who want quality food without the formality of a sit-down dinner.

Brunch, Events, and More to Come

Alongside the new lunch service and seasonal updates, The Board Room continues to expand its weekend brunch offerings—a favorite among Libertyville locals. Dishes like French toast, breakfast boards, and refreshing brunch cocktails turn weekends into something to look forward to.

The restaurant also offers private dining options and catering, allowing guests to bring The Board Room’s elevated experience to their own celebrations. From corporate events to birthdays and showers, the team provides tailored menus and service to match each occasion.

These touches are part of why The Board Room has maintained its reputation as both a social hub and a fine-dining destination. It doesn’t just adapt to seasons—it evolves with its community.
