read moreFormentos is a popular restaurant in Chicago's Fulton Market neighborhood, known for its ambiance and delicious food. However, some customers have complained about the slow service and high prices. While some have found the food to be average given the cost, others have praised the attentive service and excellent dishes. The restaurant's outdoor seating might not offer the same ambiance as the inside, so it's worth keeping in mind when booking a reservation. Overall, Formentos seems to be a hit or miss experience for customers, depending on what they're looking for in a dining experience.
