Dining Options
With the aim of bringing the indoors out and the outdoors in, the recently rejuvenated Dining Pavilion features two seated restaurants and two locations for quick bites and bar service as well as Ravinia Market which features five mini restaurants serving burgers, paninis, tacos, pizza, and barbeque. Dining options are run by Levy Restaurants (Spiaggia, River Roast, Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap).

Dining Packages
Combine your ticket purchase and dinner reservations in one easy, cost-saving package. Parking is free on-site for Martin Theatre or Bennett Gordon Hall Performances; the easy-out shuttle is free on other nights. Dinner is served (and often themed to match the flavor of the concert) in the Tree Top or Park View as indicated.
Freehling Room
Critically acclaimed restaurateur Carlos Nieto and his wife Debbie have been serving fine cuisine at Ravinia’s donor dining club, the Freehling Room, for 15 years. While the menu on classical performance evenings will still offer such delicacies as miso-marinated Alaskan halibut and petite filet served with purple potato rosettes in a red-wine reduction, the Freehling Room this summer will also offer more casual fare on the nights of Ravinia’s biggest pop/rock concerts. On those nights, reservations will be available to donors at the Opus level or higher.
