Big Fish Hospitality announced it will open an upscale restaurant called The Prospect at 20West, a new luxury apartment building at 20 W. Northwest Highway, in Downtown Mount Prospect, Illinois. Big Fish plans for a soft opening in late Fall 2023 through a series of private events, followed by a grand opening toward the end of year. The two-story restaurant will begin buildout this summer.
Two veterans of Chicago’s fine dining restaurant scene, Chef Mauro Berruti of Gibson’s Italia, Bazaar Meat Chicago and Chicago Cut Steakhouse and General Manager Garrett Supples of Chicago Diner, Frontier, Ina Mae Tavern and Packaged Goods, will tap their 30-plus years of culinary creativity and service to lead The Prospect.
Overseeing the buildout of The Prospect will be Nicholas & Associates, which completed the construction of 20West for developer Wingspan Development Group. The design firm for the space is Barker/Nestor.
The Prospect will have an open-concept design with an exposed kitchen and large food-prep counters in view of patrons. The menu will feature an array of cuisines from seafood to pasta and will incorporate charcoal and wood-fired elements, marrying both casual and fine dining.
Seating for the restaurant will span across two floors, accommodating 90-100 people on the first floor and 50-75 people upstairs on the second floor. A full bar will also be located on each level, with the upstairs offering a truly unique al fresco dining experience and serving as the restaurant’s private event space.
