Lincoln Square Taproom’s Owner to Open a Bistro in the Cafe Selmarie Space | Eater Chicago
"Planned to take over the Cafe Selmarie space, Willow Cafe and Bistro is an upcoming concept from Andrew Pillman for which he has applied for a liquor license at 4729 N. Lincoln Avenue; an opening date is not yet available. Listings describe it as a local restaurant/cafe serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, featuring Intelligentsia Coffee, beer and wine, an in-house bakery, a cozy dining room and a seasonal patio. Pillman's past takeovers—most notably converting the former Huettenbar into Lincoln Square Taproom—have drawn criticism from regulars who say his crews drastically changed the prior venue's vibe, including replacing a mural that helped define the space." - Naomi Waxman
