Some Fine Tuning

Historic Morris restaurant under new ownership

The historic Morris restaurant, The Rockwell Restaurant, is under new ownership. The new owners, Ben and Sandy Besiri, have extensive experience in fine dining — they own a steak house in Fox Lake and an authentic Italian restaurant in Blue Island.

Why did Ben and Sandy purchase the Rockwell?  Sandy said that the Rockwell offers everything people would want in a restaurant — a history of great food, deep roots in the community and simply a beautiful restaurant with deep colored wood on the walls, beautiful marble inlays and a wonderful bar.
