Independent
Family-owned, Chicago-based, and close enough to the work to keep improving it every day.
About Toasted Hospitality
Everyone is a guest in our home.
We are an independent Chicago restaurant group where every day brings something new—and making people feel taken care of is the work that ties it all together.
Our approach
Every concept earns its own identity.
We do not build copies. Each restaurant responds to its room, neighborhood, audience, and reason for gathering—from the whiskey community at Slightly Toasted to the performance-night rhythm inside the Lyric Opera House.
What connects them is operational discipline, genuine warmth, and the belief that memorable hospitality is built from hundreds of thoughtful details.
After more than 140 openings, we decided to do our own thing.
Today, Toasted Hospitality creates restaurants, bars, and event spaces with distinct identities and a shared commitment to making people feel taken care of.
Distinctive
Concepts designed around their neighborhoods, architecture, teams, and guests.
Hospitable
Food, drinks, rooms, and systems working together to make gathering feel effortless.
