Blue Door Farm Stand - Chicago

The Blue Door Farm Stand was an ideal lunch destination in Lincoln Park. The food and drinks were delightful, the decor was charming, and the staff were exceptional. I can't wait to return!

The food was acceptable, but it was lacking in flavor and seasoning. Given the prices, I expected more exciting tastes and well-thought-out dishes. Overall, the food didn't impress me, and I probably won't come back.

I ordered the brussel sprout and kale salad, which was quite good. However, we had to wait a long time for our food, and my order for a decaf coffee never arrived. I don’t mind waiting, especially if the server informs us about any delays, but that didn’t happen this time. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant are charming, and I would be open to returning to try other items on the menu, perhaps seated in a different area. I also found the cappuccino to be disappointing; it was not very good and quite small for $5.

Lovely place, open and welcoming, with great staff. Unfortunately, the food was well below average. The egg/avocado benedict dish was a collection of ingredients sitting on a sea of arugula, rather than a carefully crafted dish.

We chose this spot for a birthday celebration amongst friends. Our server was outstanding and our food was tasty. One hostess was lovely and one was down right rude. Since we celebrated a birthday at our table, we asked the nice hostess to throw away some wrapping paper, which she kindly did. A small box was left on our table that the rude hostess asked me to throw away. She refused to take it and told our group it was not her job to take our trash out. We asked for her name which she refused to give and then we asked for the manager who just listened to what happened without apologizing. We were disappointed that our outing ended this way. It was unnecessary and took away from the wonderful service our server gave us. Lastly the upholstery on the chairs needs to be cleaned. Overall not sure if this was a very off day or if this is what Blue Door wants to put out into the world.
