The Henry

Super GemPlaza del Lago · Contemporary American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1600 10th St, Suite 22, Wilmette, IL 60091

The Henry landed in Wilmette's Plaza del Lago — the country's second-oldest shopping center — on June 3, 2026, and it's a genuinely rare thing for that historic strip: a full-service restaurant rather than another boutique shop.

$$
A Fox Restaurant Concepts all-day dining spot that opened June 2026 at Wilmette's historic Plaza del Lago — short rib potstickers, a Harvest Bowl, and a coffeehouse-to-cocktail-bar format across one day.

The concept, from Phoenix-based Fox Restaurant Concepts (founder Sam Fox, with other locations in Los Angeles, Miami, and Phoenix), is built to run all day: a coffeehouse and breakfast spot in the morning serving homemade pastries and The Egg Sandwich, a lunch crowd drawn in by a Harvest Bowl, and a transition into a dinner-and-late-night-bar scene after dark, with short rib potstickers as the dish reviewers keep mentioning. The space itself leans into the shopping center's history with dark-wood accents, marble finishes, and white gallery walls, plus a wraparound patio and a circular bar built for the restaurant's own cocktail program.

A 4.7 OpenTable rating suggests the format is landing with locals fast. It's not an independent North Shore original — it's a national restaurant group's newest outpost — but it fills a real gap at Plaza del Lago that's gone unfilled for a long time.
