Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Kildeer

Wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner. We were on time for our reservation, and they promptly sat us at our table. Nice vibe. Our waiter was attentive and a pleasure. I recommend trying to sit in the front room or back room. We were seated at one of three “two tops” in the narrow hallway next to the kitchen. Although it was exciting to see the kitchen humming on all cylinders, the ventilation is not great. Our eyes were watering from the kitchen smoke. Not a big deal, but for whatever reason, it’s just not ventilated very well. But, it’s a fair trade off to see the kitchen and all the excitement. Will go back.

Seated quickly; super friendly, impeccable and attentive service; wonderful value, both hubby’s steak and my salmon were substantial and cooked to perfection. Getting soup AND salad is a blast from the past and gives Jameson’s a step up from the rest! The love music was a fun touch. Neighborhood treasure we need to frequent more often!

Outstanding food and environment. Fish was outstanding, meat excellent, drinks supurb, environment the best. I am sick of restaurants undercooking meat to "prove" they are sophisticated. "Medium Rare is what "Rare" was 10 years ago. I like it rare to medium rare; but high end restaurants keep pushing it more rare - IMO so they aren't "judged" on being unsophisticated. It's becoming absurd today - for ALL high end restaurants lean in this direction. We need to develop a legit standard.

Farm Bar has become one of my favorite restaurants over the years, we live in the neighborhood and it's always our go to. Great staff, great service, just a great overall vibe. 

Great locally sourced food. Healthy choices. Love their salads. Great burger. My favorite restaurant in the north suburbs. Attentive service.
