There are no plans to reopen Howells and Hood, which is named after the architects of the iconic neo-gothic building and occupies a massive 17,300 square feet of ground-floor space and a 5,000-square-foot patio on the tower's plaza. But the company that owns the restaurant, Bottleneck Management, owns 15 other restaurants, most in Chicago and the suburbs, and “it is our intent to transfer as many if not all of our employees at all of our Chicago restaurants,” said co-owner Chris Bisaillon. Bottleneck’s other Chicago restaurants include Sweetwater downtown, Boundary in Wicker Park and Old Town Pour House in Old Town.
