Windows Restaurant is a full service, upscale restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 364 days a year. Fine dining with an informal attitude aptly describes us.

Windows Restaurant

The menus at Windows and the Banquet Center speak for themselves. Windows takes the Old World approach with fresh, top quality food prepared by trained chefs using proven culinary methods. From steak and eggs to the Tuscan chop, all of our meats, vegetables and dry goods are chosen for their freshness and quality.

Jim Halpin, our nationally recognized and award winning Executive Chef, was born and raised in the hotel/restaurant business. His experience is drawn from Florida, Hawaii, the East Coast and Texas.

His sensibilities range from Caribbean with a French flair to Pacific Rim with a Mexican twist. When asked what his favorite meal is to prepare his standard reply is, "The next one. Something I haven't done yet." Jim and his certified culinary team are dedicated to providing you with a world class culinary experience.

Beautiful sunsets, crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, the outdoor deck cannot be beat for a relaxing repast of sandwiches, fresh seafood, hand cut steaks and chops, original pasta dishes and killer dessets (not literally): it's all part of the Rend Lake experience.

Reilly's Lounge

The Resort also offers a seafood buffet on Friday nights (May through November), and an all you can eat fried chicken buffet every Sunday afternoon. More casual dining is also available at Reilly's Lounge where you can enjoy the best Buffalo Wings in southern Illinois while catching your favorite team on one of four televisions.
