"Francophiles in Lincoln Park were dealt a blow as Aquitaine is closed after seven years at 2221 N. Lincoln Avenue. The restaurant gave residents a more refined experience, compared to the glut of cheaper restaurants in the area that catered to DePaul University students. It’s unknown how the closing of Children’s Memorial Hospital affected business. Many restaurants lost loyal customers after the hospital moved five years ago to Streeterville. Chef Holly Willoughby writes, via Facebook: “I am eternally grateful for this life experience. Stay tuned for my next adventure.”" - Daniel Gerzina
