The Thanksgiving menu had great choices. Short ribs were very good. My only disappointment was bread pudding dessert. I was surprised it was served cold, so it had odd texture and bland taste.

We had high hopes for this restaurant but the service was rough. When asked to describe the pumpkin soup, the waitress said it tasted like Gerber baby food. Then they forgot my 2 year old’s order so all adults had completely finished their meals by the time the mac and cheese came and we had a very upset toddler. The outdoor seating was beautiful but not worth the poor experience.

The crab cake eggs Benedict was delicious, as well as the bananas foster french toast! My husband has the Bottega stack and he loved it. Only issue is that the Negroni he ordered was served to the brim in a martini glass and not an Old Fashioned glass which caused him to spill it twice. Server was very nice and very prompt. We'll be back!

Food was excellent the service a bit slow. We had a reservation and they sat us at a terrible table with high traffic to the patio and bathrooms. They did not hold a table for us instead they were busy and just sat us at a available table. Why make reservations????

If there was a 6th star on the list, it would get 6 stars from me. We went for a Birthday Celebration dinner. The food (I had the short ribs with polenta and greens) and my Son the "Sword Fish" , both were excellently cooked, plated beautifully, and flavorful. Desert: The Chocolate lava cake with ice cream (you have to ask for desert). Which was fantastic. I had their Sangria which was out of this world refreshing and looked like desert. All in all, positively will be back. Thank you Farmer's Bottega!

I was skeptical going in based on the outside appearance, but the inside is cute and the service was great and the food is amazing! We went for brunch. I highly recommend any of their interesting benedicts and mimosas.

Loved the atmosphere and music. My daughter had the brioche French toast (delicious). Husband has the prosciutto eggs Benedict (delicious). I had the short rib eggs Benedict, which wasn’t the greatest. Meat and polenta lacked flavor. Will not be ordering that again. I will stick to the classic eggs Benedict. Overall, this place was good!

Food was good. Not excellent. Service was slow. Music was too loud but they turned it down. Waiter wasn’t very attentive even though there were only a couple tables. He didn’t ask if we wanted dessert or coffee, so we asked for the check. He added 18% gratuity based in total including tip but it was added after we saw the bill. He said it was on the bill but it wasn’t. We had already calculated a tip of approx $50 but he was all upset that we had an issue with his service and didn’t want to tip the entire about which would have been about $60. For two hours!!! Left a bad taste. After many visits, probably won’t return again.

The food was exquisite: Creatively-presented and very tasty. The ambiance was also nice. The only downside was that every item of food costs. For example, there is no complimentary bread which would be appropriate for a quality restaurant with well-priced items on the menu.

Let's start with the obvious once you read the menu and then see the food, the place is overpriced. When one of our party was served the avocado & turkey eggs Benedict, the kitchen took one half of a very thin slice of what appeared to be deli turkey and cut that in half, placing one half of a half on each English muffin. What farm did that turkey come from? The sauce on the huevos ranchos was excellent, but the black beans were bland. The plates were too big for the serving sizes and did not contain anything frilly or pretty to fill out the picture. We will not return.

Extraordinary dining experience with top notch service. Mussels and clams appetizer was delicious and served in a fresh puttanesca style sauce with capers, Kalamata olives, fresh fennel, and chorizo, with a tomato-garlic base. The paccheri was properly Al Dente, and the fresh arugula, goat cheese, and cherry tomatoes all blended together perfectly into an aromatic concoction that was incredible. Fennel sausages were freshly made and delicious in the paccheri entree. Tiramisu was super moist and freshly prepared and had a very generous amount of espresso and even fresh blueberries. An absolutely incredible culinary experience and will definitely return.

Went here for restaurant week and was disappointed in the serving sizes for price and restaurants options. Many of the restaurant week menu items were unavailable yet it was a pre fix menu and our server shared incorrect information on menu items multiple times with our table and other tables by us. The food itself tasted good but for $50 both the app and entree were the size of an app at best.

Service from our waitress was friendly and attentive. However, the vibe of this restaurant has changed over the last several months. This used to be a fairly quiet place, good for conversation in spite of the hard surfaces of floors, walls, and ceiling. But now, the music is louder and "thumpier" with bass and drums, making it difficult to hear the others at our table. Also, the lamb pappardelle dish we had was disappointing ... didn't taste like lamb at all; if I was blindfolded and was served this, I would not have identified the meat as lamb. It just seemed like pot roast meat.
