RESTAURANTS

Private Dining & Catering

There are many options for private dining at Frontera and Topolobampo: The intimate Library Room (for a private Topolo experience), the festive Morales Room (for a lively Frontera experience) and the stunning La Vista (for a fully customized experience).

And don’t forget about your room—or whatever room it is you’d like us to set up our catering operation. Contact Jen Fite by calling (312) 661-1434 or emailing jfite@fronteragrill.net for all your private event inquiries.


LA VISTA

A vibrant window-filled room overlooking the bustling River North neighborhood, La Vista is a stunning, transformable space for all types of events from standing receptions with food carts, brunch buffets, family-style dinners, and full tasting menu dinners. There is a full bar that can be customized with margaritas, unique mezcales and tequilas, beer and wine. 

La Vista is fun, festive and flexible, with accomodations for up to 50 guests. We’ll work with you to configure the room so it’s just right for your event.

THE LIBRARY AT TOPOLOBAMPO

Escape into our private test kitchen and culinary library, lined with over 2000 of Rick’s personal cookbooks. Relax and watch as your five-course Topolobampo meal is prepared for you by our award-winning team in the adjacent kitchen and presented by your own personal chef. We can bring the wine — and hand-shaken margaritas.

The Library room offers a pre-set menu at and can accommodate up to 30 guests.

THE MORALES ROOM

Let’s say you want all the energy and life of Frontera Grill, but you want it for a group. We’ve got a room for that. The Morales Room is located within Frontera’s lower level and filled with the art of namesake Mexican artist Rodolfo Morales, offering not only a culinary feast but a visual one as well.

The menu is pre-selected by you and can lean toward the more rustic (a Frontera Grill experience) or the more refined (a Topolo-like experience). The Morales Room has a maximum of 40 guests for a seated meal.
