The Columbus Park Refectory is located at the intersection of W Jackson Boulevard and S Golf Drive. The best way to get there is to take the Central Ave exit off of I-290. Here's a view of the vicinity:
And, here's a view of the park in relation to the rest of Chicagoland:

Spanish Revival
Columbus Park Refectory was built in 1922 and sits on landscaped grounds dotted with lagoons. Jens Jensen designed the landscape, as he did for many Chicago Parks in the early 20th Century. Inside, chandeliers and murals, beams, archways, and marble floors create an atmosphere reminiscent of a vintage Spanish estate.
The Columbus Park Refectory's website can be found here.

J+T IN BC
John and I have traveled a lot together, Miami, Maine, Vancouver Island, Greece. We keep the same pace on vacation, we enjoy the same adventures, whether they be found sunbathing or spelunking.
