    Very disappointing. Service was abysmal (lots of waiting, multiple reminders, took about 45 minutes and three requests just to get the mediocre $4 bread, etc) and the food and beverage didn't make up for it. My flank was cooked poorly -- ordered medium rare, it obviously sat on the grill on one side far too long so about 75% of the depth was medium well, and then there was a pink sliver -- and it lacked flavor. My wife had the milanese which looked fantastic, but didn't deliver. I've heard others say The Farmhouse is "hit or miss", I guess we got the miss. Bummer, I was excited!

    Was so grateful to the sweet hostesses who squeezed us in with our 2 y/o before the dinner rush on MDW weekend! We live in the area but had never visited and everything was truly exquisite - the portions, the presentation, the flavors, and the team. Easily the best tasting meal I’ve had this year. So looking forward to going back again!
