Best Seasonal Restaurants in Portage Park

Beautiful light coming in the large windows that face south. Was not too busy for Saturday brunch (maybe because it was Thanksgiving weekend), and the service was excellent. We both had the breakfast sandwich and added bacon and avocado. It was really delicious. Mine came with a kale salad that was surprisingly good and my daughter had the fruit which was very fresh. Also had the monkey bread which was a small portion - perfect since we were already stuffed.

Such a great time checking out the new brunch menu! We started our day with a wine tasting before the tasting room got crowded. We enjoyed the brunch cocktails. I had a tasty Strawberry Elderflower Spritz and my sister had the boozed iced coffee…both were delicious. I enjoyed the smoked brisket hash and it was delicious and filling. Jasmine was very attentive! We will be back!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! We could order off the menu or we could have a traditional thanksgiving meal! So perfect! Lovely space, great service and great food! Wonderful location for looking at Frank Lloyd Wright houses! Highly recommend Citrine Cafe!

Always enjoy the experience at Farm Bar either eating at the bar or seated at a table. The challah bread appetizer with flavored butter is great. Fried cheese curds were solid. Only app that we haven't enjoyed are the various renditions of hummous. The salmon dishes, either on salad or in a main, are very tasty. The sunchoke puree, steak and cabbage was great for the meat eater. There are 2 solid veg entrees. Overall, it's just a solid restaurant, priced appropriately with good bevvies and service.

Portions too small when considering price. They were out of two dishes we were looking forward to, ribs and lamb shanks. Great selection of wines by the glass. Once the restaurant is full, it is too noisy for relaxed conversation. For us seniors, the earlier the better.
