There’s also a classic diner and soda fountain area. In the corner, center location of the former Grand Station restaurant, is the soda fountain — complete with glowing glass block under the counter and the chrome accents of a 50’s style soda fountain establishment. To the south of the Soda Fountain is a diner with dark, rich hardwood floors. Another section, to be completed at a later date, will feature an automotive/drive-in scene complete with a 1957 Chevrolet and other cars from the era.
Staff and beta testers have been seen at the restaurant the past few weeks, and the dark hardwood floor was just finished about mid-September.
The opening of Circa ’57 adds to one of the top highlights of Arlington Heights — an appealing downtown group of restaurants that offer great eating experiences and great smells, especially along Vail Avenue and Campbell Street.
