This is our go-to special occasion restaurant, which we were thrilled to have an excuse to revisit recently with out-of-town guests. No surprise, everything was excellent from our starter cocktails and popovers to the French press coffee and dessert. I had the swordfish kabob for my entree, which was exceptional—a deceptively “simple” meal with complex flavors that played perfectly together, cooked to perfection. Special shout out to Will, who took great care of us with tireless good humor. Didn’t miss a beat and made us feel wholly welcome and comfortable as we celebrated our small reunion.

This wasn’t just an incredible meal, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Jacob, who was our rock star server, made us all feel welcome and special from the minute we walked into this cozy and quaint restaurant. Great atmosphere, every single person we encountered were friendly and accommodating. My 2 daughters and I tried quite a few dishes and each one outdid the last. From the burrata dish to the steak frites and fresh pea ricotta ravioli we were all excited about this experience that we haven’t had at another restaurant for a very long time. Very thoughtful and well executed dishes. And the Panna Cotta!!! Thank you Farmstead Table for such a special dinner, we will be back and we will recommend to everyone traveling to your area!

We arrived early and sat on the patio while we waited for our table. We were told that we could order drinks and was brought water after a while. After our reservation time no one came to seat us and we had to ask if our table was ready, and it had been. We had to ask to order drinks and then to ask when they would be delivered. We also had to ask to order our food. We have eaten a few times at the restaurant and never had an issue with service. We were hosting a group and was embarrassed by the service that we received.

This is my second time at the restaurant and the food it excellent. Everything we has was creative, and nicely cooked and seasoned. Popovers, Asparagus and Morels, Mussels and Swordfish. Portion sizes are excellent as they are rich and flavorful dishes. We were well satiated. Service was lovely. The outdoor seating section appears to be in a bit of transition and there is a timing issue of clearing dishes before both people are done, but that is an American habit.

Possibly the best burratta appetizer I've ever had. It is pricey but I recommend checking it out.
