The Farmhouse - Kansas CityToo eclectic for our taste.Too eclectic for our taste. Expected more for the cheese appetizer. The main entrée was very good. Waiter was somewhat knowledgeable.6/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome fresh food!This was our first time at The Farmhouse. Great little restaurant, we appreciated the fresh food and overall appearance. We will definitely go back!6/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFarmhouse FabThe surprising combination of ingredients in my salad and dinner entree—salmon with a coconut cream sauce and little seeds I couldn't identify but loved for their bracing notes, for instance—was an amazing flavor bomb. I loved every bite.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMFabWe enter the restaurant thru the patio, which is quite lovely and full late in the evening, great for outdoor dining with an interesting urban street scenes. Our server David is very professional and friendly. We order the specials, scallops, small plates, its outstanding and delicious, and also the Ora King salmon, unfortunately they run out, which usually happen even they are good, so I opted for there bouillabaisse which is a little different then the usual ones in other restaurant, I little more spicy which I prepare. They have a large wedding party, nevertheless , they're quite apologetic and accommodating . We personally did not mind. We had a great wine and great time. Highly recommended.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMRefreshingThe restaurant certainly lived up to is name with old-fashioned friendly service, dinner at a relaxed pace and food that was as appealing to the eye as the palate. Our waiter was very informative about the fresh bounty that was about to come from the kitchen and brought it out to us in a timely manner. This was a wonderful departure from the usual corporate dining scene.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMLocal and deliciousWe were drawn to The Farmhouse because of their commitment to local sourcing and sustainability. The food was excellent. The Chef is very talented and created new combinations to present great food in a truly elevated way.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMTerrific location and foodIf you like farm to table food, fresh ingredients, terrific ambience and wonderful river market location Farmhouse is the place for you. We enjoy getting out of the neighborhood and trying new restaurants and Farmhouse did not disappoint. The food, service and beer selection was outstanding. We enjoyed the cheese plate, farm salad, polenta and smoked ribs. Amazing amount of food. We absolutely enjoyed our server.

Small menu but something for everyone. Service was slow but very friendly.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious Breakfast and BrunchReally enjoyed the offereings of the Farmhouse, especially the rotating specials, the always-divine corned-beef hash, and the french press coffee at your table.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMThey get everything rightI have a pretty high standard (especially for service) but they nailed everything!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMOur First VisitThis was our first visit to The Farmhouse and we will be coming back. Our food was delicious and fresh. The cocktails were extraordinary. As our friendly waiter explained there is a bit of a wait for the cocktails because the bartender is making them from scratch. They were worth the wait. Because food and drinks are made fresh you have more time to enjoy your dining mate(s). A great place to go when you are in the mood to enjoy good food, drink, company and ambience. We sat outside and liked watching the surprisingly lively 3rd St streetscape. Although in our fifties my wife and I enjoyed the young local vibe of The Farmhouse. The servers are heavily tatted, pierced and dyed. The customers are from all walks of life.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect night with friends!This was our first trip to the farmhouse. We had a small get-together for a birthday. The service was amazing! The hostess was wonderful. The food is excellent. My only complaint would be the heat. It was very warm in the restaurant and there was almost no breeze. Just make sure to dress for the heat. We will definitely be back.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of my favorite restaurantsI am always surprised by the foods I will try at the Farmhouse. I do not care for grits and spinach and yet I found myself eating those very things AND loving it! I am never scared to try anything new there because the flavors are always delicious. The brick walls and artwork add to the quaint ambience. It is located in a nostalgic neighborhood that reminds me of San Francisco or Chicago. I cannot say enough nice things about this extraordinary gem.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMDelightfulWe had a lovely Mother's Day Brunch on all levels. Especially appreciated the 1/2 off Champagne special. It made the outing all the more celebratory! Thanks!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMbest locally grown restaurantLove The Farmhouse! Have been four times for brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Thanks for another great evening!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNice Little FindLoved the freshness of the food & the ambiance of the restaurant. Will definitely dine more in the future. One note: the online menu was not-up-to-date, so don't get your heart set on anything until you get there.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMlocally growngreat little place with excellent locally grown produce and meats exquisitely prepared... a little pricey, but worth it...5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOur dining experience wasOur dining experience was most pleasant. Our waiter was so knowledgeable about the food . The atmosphere was very friendly and the service excellent- very conscious that we had theatre tickets and needed to be finished by a certain time. We did recommend this restaurant to a family member and are anxious to hear what they think/ I love the use of locally grown and seasonal food .5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMLuscious lunchThird time here, first lunch. Homemade pastrami sandwich and my companion's club were tasty. We love the European take on American foods from local providers prepared creatively, and The Farmhouse ambiance. Dine there, then take a walk on the river trail and it's a nice respite from every day life.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful dining experience.Every dish was wonderful, good portions, great wait staff.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMDeliciousWhat a fun, hip little find. Made reservations for a client dinner while in town for a convention and so glad we came.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWe highly recommend The Farmhouse.We highly recommend The Farmhouse. Their menu is mainly based off local produce and products and changes seasonally. The food was outstanding -- we couldn't stop talking about how delicisous our meal was that night. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything that my group orderedEverything that my group ordered was cooked perfectly. My wife had the braised short ribs and they were so big and tender, it was like eating a perfectly cooked roast, and they must have been dinosaur ribs, very filling. I had the hanger steak, which is not one of my favorite cuts, but Farmhouse's hanger steak was aged and cooked perfectly. We are definitely going back again.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMgood not greatI loved the menu, but the food was not quite as good. I enjoyed it, but it did not blow me away like I had hoped. The short ribs had minimal seasoning and the crawfish fritters were dry and lacked flavor. The mustard sauce that accompanied it was great but way too little. Service was typical hipster - ambivalent but not awful. I would try the place again if i was back in town. Maybe it was just an off night.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Brunch!We love this place so much, we are bringing back four of our friends next Sunday! Already booked on Open Table. Food is amazing, I was already craving it on Monday morning!!!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWorth the huntWe've been here a few times now and taken out-of-town guests, all of whom love the place. The menu is interesting, unique, and all very good. The atmosphere of the place is just fun. If you like creative, different, fresh, well done food then you should try this place.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMHangar steak and fries areHangar steak and fries are to die for! The beet salad was fantastic too. Will have to come back to try more menu items.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWow! What a fun, loud placeWow! What a fun, loud place on a Saturday afternoon for brunch, but what food, libation and atmosphere! My husband, his two daughters ad their husbands and I celebrated my birthday there and we have no idea, who out-ordered the other. All I saw were flying forks, reaching hands and Spring drink glasses being passed. The only downside was service. Easily their staff could have been
been doubled.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a great contributionWhat a great contribution to KC's vibrant local food scene! Chef Muchael Foust has created and pulled off a wonderful concept well done!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMInteresting, locally-sourcedInteresting, locally-sourced menu and terrific service. Our pasta w spring veggies and sausage was a little heavy on the meat, but after all, we're in the Midwest.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMTry It!Great fresh, locally grown, raised food. Service was good, ambiance nice. Would go back!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMA delightful brunch experienceOur first visit to The Farmhouse was for Easter brunch. It was delightful. The ambience was great with the exposed brick walls and plenty of natural sunlight coming through the front windows.
The service was outstanding, but unfortunately, I don't recall the young lady's name. She was friendly AND helpful. When I asked for her suggestions/favorites she responded authentically... so refreshing from the standard "oh, I really like this or that (the two highest priced choices on the menu!)." Instead, she offered her personal favorites and why... which led me to trying something new... the lamb sausage as a savory side to my decadently sweet entree of Bread Pudding French Toast. Yum.
We will definitely be back!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother fantastic visit withAnother fantastic visit with friends who had never been to The Farmhouse. They loved it and planned to go back.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience. A must to visitGreat dining experience. Very fit for foodies and large portions. Service was attentive and helpful. We were a group of seven and managed to get in at the lasting te but frankly I am surprised it was not SRO.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFine dining with local productFine dining with a focus on local farm fresh ingrediants. All meats and cheeses are from local producers but this is not simple plain food. The Chef did an excellent job in highlighting each course and the main ingredient in that dish. I had Braised Short Rib with a demiglas sauce. Expertly braised for six hours, it was perfect. The wait staff paced the evening perfectly and their wine list was reasonably priced and a good selection of French wines. Highly recommend.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMVery happy we found this,Very happy we found this, as we had been looking for something to stop in at on our way out to Zona Rosa for a comedy show. Very attentive staff, nice decor that feels warm and comfortable but still is interesting. Everything that we had was terrific - started with cheese and a salad (the goat cheese bits were perfect) then followed with the steak and the chicken as main dishes. Steak was really good, chicken was good but the mashed potatoes were the highlight. Our only complaint was that the Kale in the chicken dish was a bit hard to eat, as it wasn't cooked quite enough and could have used more flavor. All together it was a winner - we'll definitely be back.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a good experience inWe had a good experience in all facets of the meal and service.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Farmhouse exceeded myThe Farmhouse exceeded my expectations! My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. No only was the dinner tasty but VERY HEALTHY. It was so cool to eat at the Farm House because not only is the food GREAT but they give you a list of all the local farms the food comes from. In addition the location is in a very cool part of Kansas City.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have now been to The FarmhouseWe have now been to The Farmhouse twice for brunch and it has quickly become one of our favorites. The locally produced food is wonderful, especially the eggs and lamb sausage. And there are always some very unique, interesting daily specials. We will definitely make this a regular destination.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst FarmhouseThis was my first visit to The Farmhouse and it was a most enjoyable lunch. The atomsphere was great I love th old feel of the building and dining area. The food was well done and just what was needed on a cold day.2/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful!A wonderful farm-to-table dining experience! Loved the local ingredients and flavor in all the dishes we had. We don't come often, but we do love it when we do get in to try the seasonal menu and excellent presentation of farm fresh foods. Can't wait to come in and see what wonderful flavors and menu offerings the spring menu includes!2/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
