Reservations

Please note before reserving:
The Noël Lounge is an intimate holiday experience designed for adults and older guests to relax and enjoy handcrafted food and drinks in a cozy, festive atmosphere. While children are welcome, this experience is not ideal for young diners due to the following:

  • Limited space: Most tables are two-tops, and the layout does not accommodate high chairs or strollers.
  • Deposit requirement: A $20 per-person deposit (including for children and infants) is required to reserve seating. This deposit is applied to your total bill at the end of your visit.
  • Menu: The menu is curated for the season and cannot be modified. There are no substitutions or kid-friendly items such as burgers, chicken fingers, or fries.
  • Timing: Book both Noël Lounge reservations and Light Show tickets at the time you want to attend the Noël Lounge. Your order confirmation email will include recommendations on timing your arrival at Cantigny.

If you are visiting with younger children, we recommend our family-friendly dining option at Le Jardin, which offers a welcoming atmosphere and a menu suitable for all ages.
