“Restaurant Week is more competitive now than ever with other area communities participating, so eating local helps keep tax dollars in your community,” explained Monica Conners, President of the Naperville Development Partnership. “Naperville’s SECA fund is generated by the City’s food and beverage tax, so you are also helping arts and culture when you choose to dine at a Naperville restaurant.”
Conners continued, “For many people, this is their annual opportunity to splurge on a meal that fits their budget. Our restaurants take great care in crafting their pre-fix menus and we are privileged to have so many restaurants participating so that people can choose to dine in Naperville’s fantastic restaurants. With tighter budgets, Restaurant Week is a great way to stretch your dollar further.”
Morton’s The Steakhouse, located in Freedoms Commons off I-88, has been hosting Naperville Restaurant Week since its inception 13 years ago. Their 2026 offerings will include a specially priced 3-course meal showcasing their vision of quality, consistency and genuine hospitality.
Roseann “Rosie” Caputo, who has worked as a hostess at Morton’s since the first Naperville Restaurant Week, has been part of many special occasions and is something of a local legend among Morton’s customers.
“We are very busy during Restaurant Week, and I look forward to it every year,” said Caputo. “Our customers love it because we have great deals and a wonderful menu that people love to take advantage of.”
Caputo added that she sees “lots of new faces trying Morton’s during restaurant week,” noting with contagious excitement, “I love my job and I love our guests!”
