Jill Grube was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois.  With dreams of her own restaurant, she decided to do whatever it takes.  Jill attended Purdue University and received an Bachelors of Science Degree in Restaurant Management.  After interning in the Ozarks, Jill enrolled at the New England Culinary Institute in Essex, Vermont and received her Culinary Arts Degree. 

Jill gained knowledge in many different areas of the restaurant world.  She worked at the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii, and also at L’Espalier in Boston (considered the top French restaurant in the country).  At the age of 8, she announced to anybody who would listen her dream and 20 years later Jill has moved back to Peoria to make the dream a reality.  Jill is proud to have her restaurant in her hometown and give the community a taste of the good life.
