A new restaurant is open for business in Coralville, representing the final phase in the Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center’s multi-million-dollar renovation.
Watermill Kitchen + Bar takes its name from the mills historically found along the banks of the Iowa River and is located adjacent to the hotel.
Its new menu features locally sourced and fresh ingredients from local farms and businesses such as Kalona Creamery, Amana Meat Shot & Smokehouse, Dan and Debbie’s Creamery, and Farmers Hen House, a news release said.
“Watermill Kitchen + Bar is a modern nod to the past,” said Matthew Hill, director of food and beverage of Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center. “As with the rest of the renovation being inspired by our local community, the essence of Watermill Kitchen + Bar is to honor our Midwestern and Iowan history with classic yet elevated comfort food we all know and love. There are also highly curated dishes introducing new flavors that aim to inspire diners to try something unique and special.”
The reimagined restaurant includes an outdoor patio with a fire table, a spacious dining room and a newly redesigned private dining space that seats up to 18 guests. The private dining space’s flexible room layout was created with social gatherings or business meetings in mind, and features a private door leading out to the new patio for expanded indoor/outdoor event experiences.
In addition to partnering with local farms and businesses, the restaurant also features art from local painters, illustrators, printmakers, fine artists and photographers.
