From Blake Montpetit, Owner

Please describe your business/efforts in Highland Park.

Tiffany Sports Lounge AKA “Tiff’s” has been in my family for 55 years. My dad Danny Montpetit started the business in 1971. I’m grateful to continue that legacy, and have learned the ins and outs of hospitality having worked every job in the building – from dishwasher to bartender to now owner. That lived experience shapes how we operate every day. As Highland Park has grown, we’ve grown with it – doubling our footprint, expanding our menu and evolving our space – all while staying rooted in the values of hard work, hospitality and community involvement that built Tiff’s in the first place.

We offer a welcoming, come-as-you-are atmosphere with classic comfort food, game-day energy and genuine hospitality. Whether it’s Friday Fish Fry during Lent, cheering on St. Thomas, hosting Breakfast with Santa or supporting local teams and nonprofits through our Tiff’s Gives program, our focus is always on bringing people together.

What sets us apart is our commitment to community. We actively partner with local schools, youth sports programs and small businesses, giving back in meaningful ways and reinvesting in the neighborhood that has supported us for generations.

The most important thing for our neighbors to know is that we’re proud to be part of this neighborhood, and grateful for the support we’ve received for more than five decades. Our goal is simple: take care of our guests and give back to the community that’s taken care of us.

When did you first start your business/efforts in Highland Park?

1971

What was the inspiration for doing the work you do?

Our inspiration comes from the responsibility of carrying forward a family legacy that began in 1971. We’re motivated by the idea that a neighborhood restaurant can be part of people’s life moments — from little league celebrations to post-game dinners to holiday traditions. Honoring that history while continuing to evolve is what drives us every day.

What’s your favorite thing about Highland Park?

Our favorite thing about Highland Park is how connected it feels, even as it continues to evolve. It’s a neighborhood where people truly know each other — families run into friends at games, local businesses support one another, and there’s a real sense of pride in this community.
