Lincolnshire Marriott Resort Takes Flight With “The PanAm Grille” Pop-up At Three Embers Restaurant

Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, Lake County’s most luxurious resort continues its 50th anniversary by debuting an all-new pop-up experience at its signature upscale dining destination, Three Embers Restaurant. This initiative coincides with the 50th anniversary season at its award-winning Marriott Theatre. Each pop up throughout the year is an extension of the current stage production at the theatre, transporting guests to another realm while enjoying a themed food and beverage menu led by the culinary team at Three Embers Restaurant. The newest experience, The PanAm Grille, coincides with the current production at the award-winning Marriott Theatre, Catch Me If You Can, running August 27 through October 19, 2025. Three Embers Restaurant will be transformed into a retro airline-inspired space that channels mid-century modern design and the classic PanAm aesthetic, creating a vibe of retro futurism. The setting will feature vintage blue luggage, chrome-sprayed abstract globe décor, and divider frames with cutout retro shapes to provide privacy while allowing light to pass through. Guests will encounter photo ops with captain’s hats in front of a vintage PanAm world map, retro posters, and vinyl floor stickers, all contributing to the immersive “Pilot’s Lounge” atmosphere. Scenic elements include Boeing airplane blueprints, toned vintage photographs, and canvas-printed posters with cloud motifs, all designed to echo the jet-set glamour of the 1960s. Led by Director of Food & Beverage Brent Mulvey along with the Three Embers team, The PanAm Grille’s prix fixe menu, inspired by first-class PanAm Clippers, begins with either The Layover Ladle, a seasonal squash and Pink Lady apple soup, or the Mile High Market Salad, featuring shaved Brussels sprouts, apples, olives, cranberries, goat gouda, and apple cider vinaigrette. Entrée choices include Conman’s Cut, a brochette of beef with Valencia rice and broccolini; The Captain’s Carve, broiled chicken with chestnut dressing, cranberries, cheesy polenta croquettes, and broccolini; Catch Me at Sea, whitefish stuffed with crab meat, croquettes, lemon cream sauce, and bok choy; or The Green Getaway, a vibrant plate of French beans, bok choy, and Valencia rice. Dessert is the Chocolate Cover-Up, a mint chip cheesecake with Oreo crust and chocolate sauce. The Full dinner menu has items woven throughout that reflect the settings of the Catch Me If You Can story. There’s a Nicoise salad from France, Blackened PEI Mussels, and Creole Bronzino from Louisiana. Southern Belle Chicken pays homage to Atlanta, while Mojo Lechon Asado bursts with Miami/Cuban flavors. A nod to Frank’s recurring line, “I’d like to take you out for a steak dinner,” is captured in a filet with pastrami-rye stuffing, representing New York. The fourth of five pop-ups this year, The PanAm Grille will be open Tuesday through Saturday, from 4pm–9pm, throughout the run of Catch Me If You Can.
