OUR STORY

RESERVATIONS

Luminary Kitchen & Provisions is the result of its successful predecessor American Harvest, 2 impassioned chefs Jordan & Aurora Coffey, and an outpouring of support from the Springfield dining community.

Located at 3121 Hedley Dr in Springfield IL, Luminary will bring its warm dining environment, expanse of house made goods, and unique dining opportunities to Springfield’s west side. With an incredibly talented staff keeping a keen attention to detail and relentless drive to always do better, they are excited to share decades worth of experience with their guests.

Luminary will be home to Springfield’s most impressive in house charcuterie program, an in house butcher shop, a provisions counter full of local goods, a carefully crafted cocktail and wine list, upscale catering & boxed lunches, and an always evolving menu that embraces the beauty of locality and seasonality.

We look forward to sharing our love and passion for great food and drinks with you as we welcome you into our home for a dining experience that is all about making you feel welcomed, comfortable, and part of our family.

OUR CHEFS

Aurora Coffey

Den Mother & Fearless Leader

Aurora has always been in love with food and cooking. The daughter of a chef, she was predestined to be in a kitchen long before she realized her passion could be her livelihood. Another Augie's Alumni, she spent her early career working the counter at Augies Cafe before lending herself to other projects of his. She spent her time in Chicago working for big names such as Rick Bayless and getting her Culinary Arts degree from Robert Morris. She returned to Springfield to spend time with her family and got her Restaurant Management degree all while working alongside Jordan. The two of them got married in 2010 and opened American Harvest in 2011. They have worked together as parents to many and are lucky to be mom and dad to Walter and Desmond.

Luminary is their 3rd love child and after years of conceptualizing they're excited to bring their years of experience to a new space built on a long love of the restaurant industry.

You can find Aurora on the line, eating a cold burger bun, exercising her mom title, reheating her cup of coffee for the 30th time, tasting wine she can't pronounce, giving inspirational speeches at the weekly staff meeting, or writing notes to herself on the back of old kitchen tickets.

Jordan Coffey

Chef & Owner

Jordan was born and raised in Springfield Il. Always toting an artistic vision, whether it be with colored pencils, a song in the middle of the dinner rush, or with a chefs knife and tweezers. He filled in as a dishwasher at Augies Front Burner at the age of 17 and hasn’t left a kitchen since. He quickly worked his way through the ranks of August Mrozowski’s kitchen, becoming the Chef at Augies Cafe and Augies Front Burner before the age of 20. It was at the Cafe he met Aurora and they moved to Chicago to gain perspective on the big city culinary scene.
