Rise and Dine is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in Wheeling, Illinois. The staff were very friendly and accomodating which made up for some short comings in terms of accessibility and an issue with the restroom.
There was simple handicapped parking that was close to the entrance and there was sufficient room for wheelchair loading. It was easy to access the curb cut. The path to the door was a little bumpy. There was sufficient room between the doors leading to an ample waiting area.
The restroom was well lit but it was difficult to navigate to the restroom. There was potential scalding risk in the bathroom which was marked but still could put people at risk.
The menu was cluttered, busy and had small print making it hard to read. However, the restaurant was willing to make substitutions with many vegetarian choices. The portions were very generous. They were very aware of food allergies and they were willing to wipe down surfaces to make the food preparation safe from food allergies. There were gluten free or casein free choices. The food was good. Their awareness of food allergies was impressive.
I visited near closing time so there were not many people. The noise level at this time was low and it was easy to hold a conversation. The restaurant had two levels and steps. The interior of the restaurant was accessible in one part of the dining room but not throughout, and the aisles in the restaurant were narrow. The table was able to easily accomodate my chair. I felt comfortable with the ambiance of the restaurant and the staff treated me well. I would likely return to eat here again.
