Finest Family Dining in the Somonauk Area
The Village Courtyard has earned it's nearly 40 years of serving great food in Somonauk. It's a rare experience of a family restaurant that's both a great place to go out with your family, but also run by 3 generations of the same family. It's an institution in the Sandwich/Somonauk/Leland area, and would stand out just as well even against competition against a wider area.
So many of the dishes and ingredients are handmade, from the batter and sauces to the delicious pies.
If you're new, you can't go wrong with the Chicken George, Ribs, or Prime Rib on Saturdays.
