    This was our first time dining at Farnhouse. The ambiance and service was amazing. The food was creative but missed the mark in the seasoning category. The salmon salad was bland with the salmon being too sweet from the glaze, the pizza was on the salty side, the soup of the day was also bland, but the persimmon cake with herb ice cream was incredible. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Where Farmhouse excels, is their service and ambiance. We would come back for the hospitality alone.

    Absolutely love this restaurant. It was our first time there as they opened last year and we waited a while so they could get into their groove! There was four of us and we started the dinner off with the calamari and shrimp appetizer and super fresh oysters from the north Atlantic. I had the Arctic char which was cooked perfectly and had a luscious pesto type sauce on it. My husband had the seafood special of the evening which he really enjoyed. Our other guests each had a steak and they really know how to cook steak here, making the rare absolutely spot on. A shout out to our wonderful server, Garrett, as he was knowledgeable and experienced! I think what’s interesting about this restaurant is that they have no problem finessing any plate to the customers liking. Great food and service, we will be back!
