We recently checked out a restaurant that we had not been really been to since before the pandemic began. They recently reopened with a nice outdoor seating area. For those of you unfamiliar with Arlington Heights, they just blocked off their downtown area a couple weeks ago to allow the restaurants to expand their dining into the streets for Arlington Alfresco. This allows the restaurants to open at a higher capacity while still following the social distancing rules and the requirements of the state.
We recommend going here, even in the midst of the pandemic. The staff all were wearing their face masks and were wiping down the tables and chairs after diners came through. The tables are spaced apart and your utensils and napkins are disposable and come in a sealed container so only you will be touching it. They even give your table a large jug of water so that you can fill up your glass at your own pace and not have to worry about the server coming over frequently. They also deliver through DoorDash if you aren't comfortable with leaving your home at this time (which is totally and completely okay and understandable!) We both had the same main thing to eat when we went here this time but got different drinks. Erin had the blueberry vodka lemonade. It tasted just like blueberries!! Elizabeth had the grapefruit margarita juice box. This was decent, but don't get it if you don't like pulp in your drinks because this had a lot in it. It was decent tasting though! We both had the create your own burger 🍔 with sharp cheddar cheese and macaroni and cheese on top! IT WAS AMAZING! Normally Elizabeth doesn't order burgers when they aren't thin, but this is one of the few places where she makes an exception at. Erin also got sweet potato 🍠 fries and Elizabeth got parmesan fries. 🧀 🍟 Be sure to get here early, as they do fill up fast! There is also a 90 minute limit on the time you can spend at your table just so that everyone can get a chance to eat since the table numbers are limited to promote social distancing! Let us know in the comments if you've been to Cortland's Garage before and if you are planning on going with the new outdoor seating arrangements!
