If you're looking for a brunch place in River Market, look no further than Farmhouse. Right on the…read morestreetcar route, and about a block from the Delaware stop, you'll find the location in a great area near other things to do and see. Reservations are available here - not necessary but depending on the day/time, you may need to wait a bit before being seated if you don't. The restaurant is rustic with farmhouse-style (hence the name!) seating. There is plenty of natural light from their street-facing windows, and if the weather's right, they have a lovely side patio. The food portions are generous and definitely shareable if your table has a few things they'd like to try! Pictured here is the Chicken n Shortstack with a chili-maple reduction and the lemon-lime marinated watermelon. The restaurant features locally-sourced ingredients and highlights them on blackboards through the restaurant. Because of this, their menu can sometimes shift and change!

Here's what we ordered: Chicken and pancake stack Brisket Tacos Farmhouse omelet Poblano grits and eggs Coffee cake Service was quick - no complaints. There's plenty of outside seating that backs up to their on site garden full of fresh herbs and veggies. It's a bit on the fancier side, would be perfect for a big family brunch or a girls day. Will definitely be returning!

You've got the best neighborhood charm, the BEST breakfast and lunch fare, and honestly some of the nicest folks in town working. It's still a small space so again getting there early can be key on peak days, but the last time I was in it was easy to find a spot. I had a seasonal item, a breakfast torta, and honestly it was one of those meals where I was full halfway through but kept eating because it was just that good. Can't wait to return.

I went to Happy Gillis after hearing way too many people rave about it. I ordered the breakfast…read moresandwich and it lived up to the hype. The sandwich came on this thick toast that was super crunchy, in a good way. The inside had Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and some aioli that tied everything together without being too much. It wasn't greasy, just rich and satisfying. I had fresh fruit on the side, which I appreciated after that salty-savory hit from the sandwich. What surprised me was how filling it was. I wasn't hungry again for hours, but I didn't feel gross after eating it. The coffee was bottomless and good. The vibe inside was chill, cozy, kind of like hanging out in someone's artsy kitchen. The staff was friendly! I loved all the fresh flowers and artwork adorning the tables and bulletin board. It added a nice touch to the eclectic vibe.

Our host was Erik and our waitress was Daruny! They were very kind and took great care of us. I recommend always using their get in line feature because it made the wait so much quicker. We were quoted to wait 25 minutes and then our table was ready in 5 minutes! I love how much space is in this first watch and they have a great space to wait outdoors not like the other locations where it gets crowded easily! Our food was delicious! My husband ordered from the seasonal menu and had the chimichurri and eggs hash, he definitely recommends! I had the trifecta with a waffle, scrambled eggs and chicken sausage which was great! 5/5 Visit!

Another Great Meal!…read more We have been to this location several times and it's always a great experience. I love how I'm greeted with coffee. We ordered the Honey Butter Biscuit Bites to start, although everything arrived together. I ordered with the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, which were delicious. The breakfast potatoes ( choice of side ) were average. I wish they had French Fries or an elevated starch option. My friend ordered the works omlette. He modified it: no cheese, no sour cream. We also shared the Floridian French Toast. DELICIOUS!

Unless you work in the area, you probably don't know about it. And, honestly, that's a shame. The place is casual and great for lunch, small and large groups.

No greet no smile no thank you. Honestly hope she was successful with that pick. Unfortunately the food was the other side of disappointing-the dryest brisket ever, truly a choking risk. Mac N Cheese was penne with unmelted cheddar on top and the Texas toast would be more aptly named Texas soggy. props to the onion rings, best in show . Based on all the other phenomenal reviews, our experience must've been a one off. For us, it was one and done.

Today on a Monday before going to the Nelson Museum my cousin and I had lunch at Brown and Loe outdoors. This was her first time and she loved it. Started with a bottle of 'Prost' Mosel Riesling, crisp and refreshing then split the Ham and Pear sandwich of smoked pit ham, pork belly, sliced pear with herbed aioli on a pressed ciabatta, nice and crispy. A group of Argentina soccer fans dressed in their blue and white colors sang and danced for all of our entertainment. It was amusing.

So I made a reservation. We arrived at 5:15 for our reservation and were seated immediately in Chloe's section. She was fantastic from start to finish. You may wish to ask for her because she is just a fantastic person and competent and capable server. We started out with appetizers. My friends ordered the calamari. My wife loves that, but I don't so she was happy to have some. I ordered half a dozen blue point oysters on the half shelf. They were very good. I tried a piece of a calamari and to my surprise, enjoyed it. It was not overcooked or over breaded like most I have had in the Midwest. My wife got the Taos salad with chicken she enjoyed very much! I was fortunate enough to snag a bite or two from her and it was truly excellent. My buddy shared a bite of the Osso Bucco and it was superb!! I ordered the meatloaf with goat cheese mashed potatoes, and green beans. The meatloaf also had a nice pan gravy and French onions. Truly a delight. We got a nice bottle of sparkling rosé for the table, which was delicious. The only snag of the whole evening was waiting for them to chill the wine. I'm not sure why they would offer sparkling wines and not have them chilled prior. A minor and annoyance, but not enough to deduct a star from this fabulous establishment. The prices were fair, the atmosphere was outstanding, and we will be returning many times in the future! We will ask for Chloe.

The service was spot on. Susan and Barbara were amazing, ensuring that a food allergy was managed. Thank you both! Aside from an extensive menu, there is a board of specials, making the decision more difficult. I doubt you can go wrong with any choice. Start with one of their creative cocktails and follow with a glass from their extensive wine list. We loved the rich Foie Gras Frais starter. We ordered off the specials, so I cannot recall the names. The KC steak looked extravagant, served with two delicious sauces and sides on a butcher block. The scallops were seared to perfection. The chocolate mousse cake was clearly the correct dessert choice. Make a reservation and be ready to indulge.

The staff was super kind and helpful, I enjoyed the staff checking in on me. Now for the food and drinks: Temper tantrum drink was good I'd get it again. I think the house spiced rum, banana and white cocoa sealed it for me, it was like a cozy and well rounded drink. El Diablo was too acidic (they took my advice when I said the alcohol hit me hard, maybe more cassis would have helped). The acidity from the lime somewhat clashed. Marzanna - I should have asked for less tequila but I enjoyed the citrus and grapefruit vibes. It went down easy. Duck fat fries - amazing texture, didn't really taste the duck fat. I've made it myself and I know it's pretty mild flavor, but the scent is there Apple aracini came out burnt a little and lacked flavor - it was a bit big but could have been better. Passion fruit creme brulee did deliver - it's more of a passion fruit custard than a creme brulee. The fruit takes away from the creme brulee flavor (I say this as someone who makes creme brulee a lot) I'll be back for sure!

I've dined here with friends who have Celiac disease, and the level of care from both the chef and the waitstaff was impressive. They were thorough, thoughtful, and clearly took food safety seriously. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance, elegant without feeling stuffy.

Anytime friends ask for a place they haven't been before with great food and great cocktails, The Savoy is always my recommendation. Without fail, they leave impressed. Kudos to the management and staff. You truly do an amazing job.
