Farmhouse On North - Barrington

We loved the idea of locally sourced, but they didn't deliver. We tried the eye of round with horseradish topping, potatoes, and mushrooms. Eye of round is a challenging cut, but their rendition was inedible and the horseradish topping was dry andflavorless. If it wasn't for the potatoes and mushrooms we would have hit taco bell on the way home. The service was spottywhen needed and would hover when not needed. This is our second try at this restaurant and both times they came up lacking.

Excellent food! Ordered the chicken and it was delicious. Salmon cooked perfectly. Great ambiance. Plan to come back again as the menu changes with season. Service was very good as well. Coffee was a little bitter but dessert made up for it.

The meal itself was delicious, but we were handed our check immediately after the meal instead of being offered dessert and coffee. When we asked if we could order dessert, we were told it would take about 30 minutes due to being short-staffed. Icompletely understand, but it's odd that we weren't at least given the option to order dessert when ordering dinner.

We have been ordering out from them since early in the pandemic. Over 2 years. The quality of the food went from great to inconsistent to bad. We have complained about a variety of problems but remained loyal. I always order the same dish (friedfish) and it is like a different person cooks it each week. What is maddening is that they have not once offered anaccommodation. Last night they forgot my husband?s entre. He had to go back and get it and they didn?t even offer a freeappetizer or dessert for our trouble. I hope you get it together or act like you care about our business. But we are done!

I don't get up this way often. I have eaten here twice over the past few years and highly recommend this farm to table restaurant. During the most recent meal I had a very pleasant conversation with the owner. It is nice to support independentlyowned, local resaurants. The food we had was delicious and I will definitely dine here the next time I am in the area.
