Food and service were amazing. I love this place.
The food was delicious and our server, Nadine, was the best. We did eat inside and the environment was clean and my friend and I felt very safe.
Since the farmhouse has opened I had firsthand experience working there and watching the love that eluded from Dora and Gabriel’s eyes. I am always taken care of when I come back home and is always the first place that I come to upon my return. It is an honor to call the farmhouse home too.
We escaped our lockdown for a wonderful meal served at Farmhouse. Social distanced, masked, plexi-glass partitions, and a quiet dining room. It is possible to safely dine out and enjoy some great food and support our local restaurants. Looking forward to 2021 when the ambiance will allow more diners and maskless servers.
Bolognese was delicious. Kids mac and cheese was rich and creamy. Had a great brownie sunday. Great waitress. . . what else do you need!
This is one of our favorite restaurants. It is just comfortable, with amazing/unique dishes, and very knowledgeable/attentive staff. In dealing with COVID, they have gone above and beyond to make everyone comfortable there.
Highly recommended. Kimberly waited on us and made our night very enjoyable.
We love it there! The food is delicious and the service is great. It also feels very Covid safe.
The Farmhouse in my opinion is one of the best restaurants in the area. The food is outstanding and the short rib is likely the best on the menu but to be honest I’ve never had a bad meal there.
Food is very well prepared. Service and atmosphere is great
Quiet, intimate atmosphere with a wide-ranging array of delicious and modern farm-to-table options.
I love this restaurant! It's a local gem. The food is amazing, the wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They had a seafood special this week in parchment that was delicious. Plus nicely distanced outdoor tables, and heaters. It's wonderful!
Excellent food from apps to desert. The Tuna appetizer was unreal. Staff was very pleasant
Food is consistently amazing- hot and tasty. We sat outside- heaters weren't very strong but it was mild enough. Service was also fantastic
Date night! Probably the last nice weather for outdoor seating and our first time there.
They were short staffed and yet the service was delightful and the food was excellent. I have celiac and our waitress was on top of that with the kitchen so I felt confident and I was not disappointed. I had the halibut and it was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. My date had a beat salad that was delicious and the short rib on pappardelle and he thought it was outstanding.
We enjoyed our very well crafted cocktails and we shared butterscotch pudding for dessert and the bill was reasonable for such a good meal.
Food was great - fun outdoor patio! Heaters for cooler evenings.
first time there and will definitely go back. Bolognese was fantastic, charcuterie delicious, as well as the calamari and tuna tartare.
Both the short rib and the pasta bolognese were amazing.
Service was outstanding.
Not our first time there, and we'll be back!
Calamari coating fell right off and was slightly undercooked. Scallops were perfect!
My second time at The Farmhouse. This crew is doing great with corona. The food is excellent. I’ve now had the risotto and the halibut. Great choice! Will return soon!
The food was outstanding!!! Staff was knowledgeable and friendly!!! Can’t wait to go back.
Everything was absolutely delicious. The plastic table dividers added a sense of security with indoor dining during Covid.
Farmhouse is a hidden gem in the center of Needham. Food is always amazing and they do customize dishes for dietary concerns. Such great people too!
The food was excellent. The only think is the portions were very small.
Excellent food (we had fish and shrimp dinners with crab cakes app) friendly and professional service. Felt so comfortable and safe with the layout! Definitely will return again when in the area.
You won't find a better meal anyplace around. Exceptional ingredients are the base for delicious food every time we go (which is pretty frequently). The outdoor patio is warm and inviting.
You've done a great job with the outdoor seating. What we found is that everything seemed to take a long time. Our waiter took awhile to check in initially. Then it took a while for our drinks to come. Once we ordered our meal, that came quickly. In fact as they took away the app plates, the dinner was there (that's not a complaint). What bothered us, was that as we were sitting and chatting the waiter came over to tell us that the next party for our table was here. I commented that I didn't realize that we had a time limit. The waiter then informed us that it was on the reservation. Truth be told, I didn't read the fine print, but when I did, I saw that she was correct. That being said, a little for-warning would have been a nicer way to handle the situation. Maybe she could have come by at the 1 hr and 20 minute mark to let us know that we should think about settling up. I guess it was good that we didn't want to have coffee or dessert.
Great date!
Great kitchen, wonderful staff, great selection of wines and interesting cocktails. Some of the best fish tacos you will ever have. Their butterscotch pudding (made there and just back on the menu) is unbelievable. Casual upscale dining at its finest
All our dishes were delish! The truffle fries were outstanding (I ate too many!)
Sat outside, nice set up, hanging lights, food yummy
Price was super reasonable for being farm to table—in fact it was less than we thought we would have to pay and we got drinks and appetizers. Food was absolutely delicious.
We regularly visit Boston for medical care. The Farmhouse has become our “go-to” dinner choice. We were there on two consecutive nights. We enjoyed a friendly though socially distanced dinner both days. Also enjoyed very tasty and robust dinners of the seafood papillote and beef and veal bolognese.
We sat outside on the patio which is now equipped with large heaters. Food was excellent, service a little slow but it was quite busy. They have made a great space, comfortable seating and nice ambience.
Delicious food, friendly staff, really made the effort to make the outdoor dining not feel like a parking lot. Lovely!
The chicken is so delicious. Service is great and ambiance is warm
They did not have enough space between tables. If they are going to continue indoor dinning the tables need to be at least 6 feet apart.
Regular spot for us. Always a pleasure being recognized on return.
Everything there was excellent. The short ribs are the best I’ve ever had.
This was an amazing restaurant. I was traveling with a colleague in the needham area, she wanted a “nicer” dinner that didn’t break our travel budget. The place hit all the point from service, food, wine list and ambiance! We were able to sit outside on the cutest patio and enjoy a cooler fall eve. Highly recommend this restaurant. Outstanding!
Although we were late for our reservation. We were seated and had an outstanding meal.
We were told that the only tables available were two small tables right in the middle of the restaurant. I told our hostess that I would prefer to sit in the back, against the wall near the kitchen. I had eaten here on a cold winter night and found the back of the room to be a cozier, more comfortable part of the room. She was able to accommodate us and I was much happier. The food was so delicious, and the waitress very friendly and helpful. My dining partner and I split the butternut squash soup, so we still had a good appetite for our main courses - beef short ribs and halibut. I will definitely come back. We shared a decadent butterscotch pudding as well. Thank you for a great dining experience.
