Dover Straits is owned by the Metropulos brothers, who moved to the United States from a small town in the state of Poloponnesus, Greece. Three brothers came to America in 1967 and the other brothers a few years later. Most worked in downtown Chicago in various restaurants before opening Dover Straits in Mundelein in 1978.

Today, Dover Straits is acclaimed as one of the finest fish and seafood restaurants in the area. Throughout the last decades, Dover Straits received the coveted Silver Plate Award of Food Industry News. In 1997 the International Restaurant and Hospitality Rating Bureau named it Chicago’s Best Seafood Restaurant and in 2000 the same group named Dover Straits one of the top 100 restaurants of the 20th century. The brothers’ formula for success seems simplistic. Art Metropulos says, “We are always trying to meet every customer’s needs by providing good food and good service.”
