   We had the worst service. Our waitress barely checked on us. Our appetizers arrived before our drinks or water. One cocktail arrived, but we had to ask about the other 3 which were delivered after we finished our appetizer. Whenever we flagged our waitress down to ask for something, the was clearly annoyed. She never asked us if we would like other drinks. We had to get up and find someone to take our dessert order, after waiting at least 15 minutes. The bacon cheeseburger came without bacon. The food was great, but the service was horrible. We invited guests and we were so embarrassed that we selected the restaurant and the service was so terrible.

   The food was very well prepared and attractively presented. Portions were very large and customers at almost every table left the restaurant with leftovers. The cocktails were very nicely made and imaginative and the ingredients were very fresh. Sitting inside was comfortable. The staff was friendly and professional.

   After arriving with reservations to sit outside, we waited another 15 minutes for a table. We felt like the host stand was a bit lethargic in attempting to get tables bussed by the bussers. After we were finally seated, the server treated us well, and was very accommodating. The food, however, was meh.
   

   Farmers Fishers Bakers - DCResponded 1 day agoHi, Blake. Thank you very much for your feedback. I am sorry the wait at the front desk caused your experience to take turn. We do ask our guests to give us 15 minutes to be seated, as we give our guests a 15 minute grace period. The food should have been delicious and I am very sorry it was not. I'm certain we can do a better job next time and we hope you will give us another try to turn this around! -Kerry

   The restaurant was pretty good but not outstanding. Portions weren't too big and the prices were what you would expect from other dc restaurants yet lower than other waterfront spots. The service was excellent.

    We had brunch and sat outside. Lots of choices for brunch. Everyone can find plenty of items they like to eat. My favorites: 2 types of eggs benedict (one with tomato and spinach), french toast, cinnamon rolls. 2 different green salads and jambalaya were also very good. It was very pleasant sitting outside. Very good place for brunch.

    The ethics behind this restaurant are great and we needed a place that provided plenty of vegetarian/pescatarian options. The breadth of the menu makes it hard to decide what to order but everyone in our party was generally happy with what they chose. Flavors were on pointe and serving sizes are reasonable, but not overly generous. Where I felt they fell short was their service. We arrived right at 6:30 for our reservation but waited nearly 15 min. for our table. The manager came to apologize after 5 min. and told us they were bussing it and it would be ready shortly. Well, it wasn't. When we were finally seated our server arrived and got all of our drink orders promptly, but after telling her we needed a few more minutes to decide on our entrees, we didn't see her for another 15 min. While waiting to order, an appetizer was delivered to our table which we hadn't ordered, but the young man who brought it didn't understand when we told him it wasn't ours. After being at the restaurant for 1.5 hrs. our entrees arrived. The 3 people in our party who ordered the pizzas had them placed on the stand directly in front of them, nearly at chin level. They weren't given any plates to eat from, but there wasn't exactly room on the table for them. It was awkward, to say the least. My friend who ordered the scallops was a bit disappointed there were only 4 of them on the dish (most of it was filled with risotto) and they were considerably smaller than sea scallops you usually get in a restaurant. We never received refills on the water. My only other complaint was that it was VERY LOUD. Conversation became more difficult as the evening went on. Overall our experience was fine but it wasn't so fantastic that I'm drying to go back. One of the couples we dined with said they go to their sister restaurant in Potomac Park and it's fantastic. After our meal she said she thinks the other location is much better.
    

    Farmers Fishers Bakers - DCResponded 3 days agoThank you for sharing your review and the details of your experience with our team, Heather, Although I am happy to hear that you all enjoyed your meals, I am deeply sorry that our service did not enhance your experience. I will make sure to let our service manager know about these concerns so they can be discussed with the team. We sincerely hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to make a better impression. -Brittany

    Great location along the water front and fountain. Vibrant ambiance. Food was excellent. They know what they’re doing with the seafood. Highly recommend the ceviche. We had both the mango coconut shrimp and the simple tuna ones. The tuna was a little salty but that could be due to the capers. Still worth getting. Among us we had the ciopino, fried combo, and white pizza with Brussels sprouts. Wasn’t a huge fan of the cheese blend (provolone?) used on the pizza. Didn’t strike the right note with the toppings. A fresh mozzarella or even goat cheese would’ve paired better. Service was good. Very busy Saturday night so a little slow but servers were friendly and clearly doing their best. Biggest complaint and warning is the bogus 5% Covid recovery fee that is still being tacked on to every bill. The restaurant was fully packed and very busy. The fuzzy explanation on the bottom of the menu is vague and shady. Who exactly is getting this money and how is it being used? It’s not the servers. And the restaurant isn’t struggling for business nor has it been in well over a year. The prices are reflective of the going rate with the raised cost of inflation so…It really left a bad taste with us and considering the other excellent restaurants literally surrounding them with the same views we’ll be going somewhere else until they remove that fee.

    Went for brunch and the only option is the buffet- yummy food but definitely gives it a hotel lobby vibe. Waiting in long lines to fill your plate, not all food finished. We were also sat at a huge table for only 4 people crammed between the bar seats and a column so it wasn’t great seating.

    Brunch was unlabeled Costco type food, canned ham, generic tilapia, overcooked bacon and only scramblem eggs. Surprised that a place called Farmers, Fishers and Bakers didn't have good pastries, fruits, etc.
    

    Farmers Fishers Bakers - DCResponded 3 days agoThank you for sharing your review with our team.

We hope you will give us another opportunity and look forward to providing a much better experience. -Brittany

    Sat outside. Service is always not so good. Inconsistent. Server keeps coming and asking if things are good but it’s disconnected bc it was done a couple of times without bringing the ordered drinks, or just water over half hour after we sat down. (Other table seated 15min after us got their water first.) Can tell server is separate fr bar and kitchen, but the server should not just come and ask if we are good without looking at what’s gone on. At some point, it is disturbance without any cause or benefit!

    I frequent this restaurant and today happen to be one of my not so good experiences. My soup and salad never came out in a timely fashion I had to request for for a second time although the manager did not charge me for it, it wasn’t fixed properly. My main course did not have the crab included. Not used to this kind of service at this restaurant.

    We had the Brunch on Memorial Day. Everything was outstanding! The server was top notch!! He was funny, spent time explaining the Brunch details, and very attentive to the needs of the table. He checked in often and spent time in conversation with us. The food was outstanding with so many options to choose from! It was very busy, as it was the holiday weekend, and the only negative was that at times the food was empty in the buffet line and the pizza they walk around was not around until after we were finished, but in the end, we ate more than we should have and everything we tried was excellent!!! We will go back and in fact said this would be our new 'go to' place to bring our out of town guest. Perfect place for Friends and family to hang out for good food, good drinks, and good DC vibe! We absolutely loved it.

    The food quality and service of the weekend brunch buffet wend straight downhill. The selection of the food was not great, for meat there were only ham and fried chicken. For seafood, there were only salmon and another kind of fish. Salmon kept running out and not being replenished. In the past , there were berries for the fruit and yogurt, but now only grapes and pineapples. The plates were super wet, there was even water on it when the servers brought them out from the kitchen. You should have dried them!!!

    The most overrated restaurant in DC. Food was mid, cole slaw wasn’t even cole slaw (missing 3 of the key ingredients in it) and service was slow and took us 20 minutes to be seated at our table with a reservation
