City of Crystal Lake issued the following announcement on Feb 22.

Crystal Lake is excited to announce the recent opening of Crystal Lake’s newest restaurants, Jude’s, Moretti’s Pizza Pub, Vine and Plate, and Pho Royal. All restaurants recently opened their doors during the pandemic and were met with overwhelming support from the community.

Locals have already embraced Jude’s, the unique restaurant and cocktail bar, featuring small plates from the US, Europe and Asia alongside infused flavored gin cocktails, featuring their signature Jude’s Gin, which is the first in the Midwest of its kind. From the moment visitors walk in the door they are met with a fun and trendy urban vibe. Come summer, the roll-up garage doors will give the feel of outdoor dining while still inside. Jude’s is located at 19 N. Williams Street in historic Downtown and open daily from 11am-11pm.

Vine and Plate owner, Elizabeth Bednarczyk, brings delicious flavors from around the world and pairs them with unique wines. She believes that good wine and good food bring people together, creating the moments that life is all about. Stop by and pick up a soup, pasta or flatbread pizza and ask about a bottle of wine to pair it with or enjoy the beautifully restored dining space. Vine and Plate is located at 414 W. Virginia Street in the historic Jaster Building, open from 1-9pm Monday - Saturday.

Pho Royal, the long anticipated Vietnamese restaurant, located at 230 W. Virginia Street, Unit 830, brings Vietnamese cuisine in an elegant interior dining space with take-out and delivery services. Offering a variety of traditional Vietnamese specialties such as Pho, a soup made of rich broth, noodles, thinly sliced beef, vegetables, herbs and spices to the level you like it. Also, Vermicelli-Bun (noodle bowls with chicken, red pepper, and delicious seasonings) and Vietnamese Baguette sandwiches.

Moretti’s Pizza Pub, the Hoffman family has launched a new version of their famous Moretti’s Pizzeria  in Historic Downtown at 72 N. Williams Street. The new location features updated, high-quality pub fare with a larger bar beverage selection. Convenient take-out, catering, and delivery options are available for the entire menu along with their famous thin and deep-dish pizzas.
