    Our group came for a first time visit, and we were all charmed. This restaurant is cozily nestled in a neighborhood, yet super busy on a Thursday night. I last minute changed our reservation to an indoor table since Chicago still experiences winter in May, but the outdoor seating did have heat lamps. We enjoyed our food and more than anything the great service. Our server was very attentive and I would recommend.

    Went back to Farm Bar again. Like last time it wasn't quite as good as a year ago. This time the manager didn't want to seat us at a table, he wanted to save it for a bigger group or something. We ate at the bar while the table sat empty the entire time and as we left it remained empty. What a brilliant manager... The food was ho hum too. We had the fish and chips, which came out beautiful and piping hot. But the breading was mushy and gummy and the fish lacked flavor. So I guess I will keep walking when passing the Farm Bar in Lakeview. I hate giving meh reviews but this one was earned. On the plus side the bartender was super nice. But the waitress for the table was heard complaining too that she had empty tables.

    Went with a small group for the 10th year anniversary. We loved the ambiance and the service was warm and welcoming. We tried a few things on the menu but the apple cider donuts stole the show, the ice cream is incredible and you can tell the owner puts a lot of pride in the quality of his menu. He greeted almost everyone! I will definitely return.

    The BEST cheese curds. Must order

    I had THE best cheese curds of my life here. No exaggeration. We were already scheming about how to come back the next day just to sit at the bar with cocktails and another round of curds. It didn't happen this trip, but next time Chicago, it's on. Our waitress was fantastic. I wish I could remember her full name, but her nickname was just a letter--Dee maybe? Either way, she was warm, funny, and totally on top of things. I came with my best college buddy and her teenage daughter who live nearby. We had an early reservation because the place fills up fast, and now I see why. We started with the cheese curds and they absolutely stole the show. Crisp outside, melty inside, with some kind of magical seasoning that made them completely addictive. Honestly, I could have just ordered another round for dinner, but I'm not a psychopath (well, not that night, shhh...). We also got a side of mac and cheese for the table...the secret is a little tang of goat cheese. also great! For my main, I got the pork special with cherry sauce and polenta. I am a sucker for any fruit and meat combo, and this one delivered hard. The pork was layered with texture--crispy edges, tender shreds, rich fatty bites, all of it smothered in that sweet, tart cherry sauce that paired perfectly. The polenta was creamy and comforting, a great base to soak it all up. One of the things I love most is that the specials here rotate every few weeks, so there's always something new and creative coming out of the kitchen. It makes you want to become a regular just to see what the chef dreams up next.

    First time here and sorry I've missed all these years. DELICIOUS food and drinks. Bonfire of Cleatus old fashioned - delightful. Mussels in chorizo broth with garlicky toast, luscious. Beer & cheese soup, lighter than expected but yummy. Michigan Harvest burger with cherry cider jam & goat cheese is in the top 5 burgers I've ever had! Perfectly cooked. Dinell is a spectacular server, just charming. Amazing in every way and the owner is charming!

    What a great find:) The outdoor seating is awesome! Clean and well kept tables and chairs all under a roof structure with vintage lights hanging. The dishes were excellent and the tableware elevated the presentation and few notches. Service was excellent! We'll definitely be coming back soon.

    I had quite an amazing brunch at Farm Bar and they were able to seat a table of 8 without a reservation on a Sunday so I was truly even more in awe. The team was so kind and amazing. The food was simple, yet very well executed, so it made for the most satisfying meal. Cheers to Farm Bar!

    I highly recommend making a reservation here as the restaurant is not that big. When we were seated people were being turned away because the waitlist was so long. This makes sense because it's a wonderful place! It was decorated nice and cozy for the holidays which I always love. I started with the chai espresso martini and it did not disappoint. That was absolutely delicious! I had to get the crispy chicken sandwhich and I am obsessed! The food came out super hot which is a plus for me. The crispy chicken was genuinely crispy and really delicious!

    Came here for a brunch date and sat out on their beautiful patio! I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Parking was surprisingly easy on lakewood ave, just on the side of the restaurant. We started off with the wisconsin cheese curds because I saw all the reviews about them. They definitely did not disappoint. My boyfriend said they were the best he's ever had. They truly melted in your mouth. We loved splitting 2 dishes (sweet & savory) and getting to try both. The pimento breakfast sandwich served with potatoes was 7/10. The potatoes were above average, not sure what they do to them but they were 9/10! The pancake fell short of my expectations, it was not fluffy at all and didn't have much flavor. The lemonade gets its on feature because it was really good. The perfect balance of sweet and tart! Definitely don't skip ordering it! I can't wait to come back to try their burger!

The cocktails were delicious and well-balanced, and Wine Director Owen truly spoiled us with thoughtful pairings and top-tier service. From start to finish, this was a 10/10 experience. If you're celebrating something special--or just want an amazing meal with exceptional service--this is the place. Highly, highly recommend.

Upon arriving, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who seated us outside as requested. To start, we ordered two piña coladas, which were perfect for the hot day. For food, we ordered the Parsons Big Dipper Platter, the three-piece fish fry, and Cindy's coleslaw. Let's start with the best part of the meal -- Cindy's coleslaw. It was creamy, flavorful, and exactly how coleslaw should be. The three-piece fish fry was tasty as well, although the batter was a bit too thick for my liking. The biggest disappointment was the Parsons Big Dipper Platter. According to the menu, it included hush puppies, chicken nuggets, and fried shrimp. Unfortunately, when the platter arrived, there was no shrimp included. We brought it to the waiter's attention, and only then were we informed they had run out of shrimp. It would have been nice to know that before ordering. It's surprising for such a busy restaurant to run out of an item that's featured on the menu. As for the service, unfortunately it was poor and inattentive. We constantly had to flag our waiter down anytime we needed something. Overall, the atmosphere was great, but the service and food inconsistencies made the experience disappointing. Not sure if we'll be returning.

Those are typically very good which is why I come back. The burger though. Why is it such a consistent disappointment? It's small, has the pancetta (a nice rubbery disc of salt) and just seems like kind of an afterthought to the otherwise well-considered menu. I've been eating it on occasion for 10+ years here always with the hope that it has improved. I would love to see a do-over on the burger. It would be great to have a place in the neighborhood that consistently delivered. As it stands, it's a distant second to RJ Grunt's, Small Cheval and not even in the same realm as Armitage Alehouse's burger. Really hoping I get to come back and revise this review to rave about how much better it got. The staff is always very nice and attentive as well. From host stand to bartenders, waitstaff and everyone clearing and setting, always a very nice group that seems like they take pride in their work, which is much appreciated.
