Excellent service, unique old world decor, low low noise - wood and carpet does that versus high decibel marble and glass in newer restaurants. Food was outstanding . Had great glass of red wine.

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.

I saw Aneyla featured on an email from Michelin which announced it as one of the 3 new restraunts in Chicago(2024), recognized with the prestigious title. The food was appealing to all senses and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining various options and providing recommendations or suggestions for an exceptional meal! The ambience, lighting and decor is similar to an true European experience. Aneyla's chefs, servers and staff definitely meet Michelin quality and are deserving of that status!
