    It has been 7 years since we last ate here. We really enjoyed that visit…read more We decided to have lunch at The Country House when we were traveling through Geneva the other day. I was disappointed by several things. Some were important things other things were not very important. First impressions - the exterior of the "house" was in disrepair because the paint or wood stain was peeled away in 2 spots. There was no identification on the front door. Restaurants will usually have some type of signage at the front door. Maybe a few fresh flower planters to brighten up the entry way. The deck was not in use due to high winds. Our server was very nice. Both she and the manager asked us several times if everything was ok. It really wasn't but we did not have time to wait for hot fries to be made and for an as requested medium cooked hamburger to be made. Since I did not speak up that was on me so I didn't dock any stars for that. There were so many reviews mentioning their juicy hamburgers. The well done one I was served was not juicy.

    We frequented this place many times, but we moved out of area and haven't been in about 3 years…read more We went for lunch on Sunday and it was very disappointing. The food just wasn't there same (pastrami on a pretzel roll used to be amazing) and the bar area, where we always ate was unkempt. The peanuts and popcorn were stale and the bartender didn't want to be there. It was just sad. We won't be back, but we have friends in the area that feel the same. Hope the best for them.

    Located on the grounds of the Fermilab research facility is a wonderful little pub that serves food…read moreWednesday through Fridays from 5-8 PM (but the bar is open until 10:15 PM). There are two sections to the Frontier Pub; the restaurant part and the smaller cozy pub. When eight of us arrived around 5:30 PM on a Friday evening, the pub was about 3/4 full. This has to be the most comfortable pub in the Western burbs. With sofas and easy chairs throughout, you can really kick back and relax. There is a small bar where the friendly bartender was chatting with her customers. The real attraction on this 7 degree evening was the warm fireplace that was already staked out by 10-12 Fermilab researchers and their families enjoying Two Brothers brews. Since we had a relatively large group we walked over to the restaurant section which is brightly lit with a couple of TV's on the wall. They have several beautiful Bison photos and a huge taxidermied Bison head hanging on the walls. It's a comfortable room but not fancy. The limited menu is standard pub food but its all prepared quite well. Our group ordered turkey burgers, hamburgers, black bean burger, grilled chicken and the special of the day; spinach calzone. I had the grilled chicken which came with fries ($6.50) and it was perfect. The people that ordered the spinach calzone said that they really enjoyed it. We shared pitchers of Two Brothers Bison Head Ale ($15 pitcher) which is a delicious brown ale brewed just for The Frontier Pub. It's a basic menu but the food is prepared with care. I also need to mention that our server was just delightful. (I wish I would have gotten her name.). Even the bartender came over from the pub to chat us up. The good food, unique setting, great service and friendly crowd all add up to 5-stars for me. Fermilab is a great break from your hectic grind. Come out and see the bison herd or even go birdwatching. At the end of your day of exploring, The Frontier Pub is a great place to quench your thirst and fill your belly. Who knows, you might even strike up a conversation with an atomic physicist!

We started with the Baby Gem salad and the Artisan Cheese Plate, both excellently prepared and delicious. My husband had the 14 oz.

I enjoyed the Grilled Petite Tender, emphasis on tender! It was lovely. For dessert, we shared the Vanilla Bean Canelé, which was unique and sweet and made a delightful ending to an excellent meal.

Got a complimentary champagne toast but I am pregnant . Still nice and we plan on going back. It was my first time eating pork rinds and steamed buns The pork rinds had good flavor and easy to eat. The steam buns were lighter than I expected and pork belly gave it good flavor. Halibut was lightly breaded which was what I wanted and cooked nicely . I really enjoyed it . Husband enjoyed his pork chop. We passed on dessert since we had appetizers.

    To begin the food was decent, and the restaurant was clean. The sausage pasta was on point and…read morequite delicious. The shaved beef was tough. Note: The service was something that left being desired. We ordered 3 mains: Sausage Pasta, Roasted Chicken, and shaved beef. Two sides of a simple green salad and pasta salad. In addition to rolls. They were going to serve this with water and coffee. To sit 40 people for two hours cost $1700. This was far too much food for 40 people. Though the single scoop of ice cream for a plate cleanser was appreciated. We asked for coffee as it wasn't ready at the time that people were arriving and it was provided. We asked for soda for some variety and they said that they could do so for an additional $2/head. We did so. Bad: When the meal was done we had over half of it left. When we went to see about taking the food with us they had thrown it away. The company said that it was a law that caterers couldn't give out the food. My aunt who ran a similar business in the state of Illinois said she would sign a waiver. The manager said it is against the FDA laws and refused to even just simply state it was the restaurants policy. When my aunt pushed on losing the second half of the food that was paid for they merely gave her three buffet tickets. For the lost of several hundred dollars of food they offset it by three $17.95 tickets. If you are socially conscious about food waste as our family is, only order two trays and a side for 40 people. It is better to leave hungry than to feel the food is simply thrown away. Ways to Improve: Being told this upfront at the time of hosting is important. It will make sure the right amount of food is ordered and dozens of people are not left wondering what happened with the leftovers. The place was clean and so I applaud that.
