The Promontory, a multifaceted bi-level restaurant, bar and concert hall at the University of Chicago's Harper Court development, in time for the Wednesday opening.
The whole project is meant to be a "refuge from the concrete jungle," partner Bruce Finkelman says, specifically based on the experiences one has at nearby Promontory Point on the lake and the stone firepits therein. This is manifested in a "hearth-to-table" restaurant theme, centered on a large hearth in the dining room, and a feeling of being outdoors even when you're inside The Promontory.
