ABOUT SCRATCHBOARD KITCHEN:

Restaurant Concept:

Upscale casual restaurant in downtown Arlington Heights serving simple yet elevated scratch-made farm to table fare, coffee, fresh pressed juice, and alcoholic beverages.

Our Vision is for the restaurant to serve as a community gathering place for family and friends to comfortably enjoy time together while sharing a carefully crafted and beautifully presented meal. Although the focus will be on the dine-in experience, a coffee bar/counter will also allow for take-out service where patrons can grab coffee, fresh pressed juice, kombucha, and other breakfast items. The space provides a cozy yet refined environment, consisting of warm, earthy tones to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Our goal for the menu is to provide upgraded classic favorites made primarily from organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Our Mission is for our guests to know Scratchboard Kitchen as a haven where they will always be welcomed, where they can find carefully crafted and beautifully presented food & beverage offerings that are both nourishing and indulgent, and where they always experience excellent service that exceeds their expectations.
