“Always Enjoyable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

It has been a while since I have been back to Farlows. As we often are a large party many of the different menu offering found there way to the table, all of which were enjoyed. The appetizers, main courses (fish and beef) were all wonderfully prepared and all arrived on time. The weather was wonderful and it was great... More

“Consistent food and service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

We stopped at Farlow's after a long day of travel. The food was fresh and delicious - and reasonably priced. The wait staff was attentive. Mona even got us a kid's meal quickly for a hungry toddler. Whenever we visit family in Englewood we stop at Farlow's because we know we can count on a good meal.

Farlows is one of the best restaurants in englewood. I eat there almost everyday and I never have had a bad experience. Servers are always pleasant to talk to. Food is outstanding like always. It is a place to go eat good food and relax in the beautiful garden with live entertainment. I do recommend

“NEVER EVER HAD GOOD SERVICE HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2013

Food was not too bad the first few times I tried it, but the very last time I was there (and it WILL BE THE VERY LAST TIME) the place smelled fishy, the food was awful and service worse than ever

We live in Englewood and this is where we take all of our guest for a good dinner. The food is alway amazing and is a very comfortable. The waitstaff can be a little hit or miss but the food is always good and the prices are reasonable.

Sub standard food, it was bland, poor quality, and over cooked. Four out of the 5 people in our party did not like their meal. Considering the prices, it was a huge disappointment. Starters the butter was frozen, salad was so small it was non existent and iceberg lettuce is the worst. The calamari was overcooked the batter did not... More
