The good: the rice scallop meal, burrata. Atmosphere and vibe are great. Great presentation. The OK: the schnitzel, bread, salmon tartare The bad: the ravioli
The service was unfortunately pretty rude. I had my family in town and thought this would be a good place to take them. We don’t drink, and felt like the waitress treated us worse for it. It’s a pretty expensive place so I was expecting better service. Not fine-dining quality service.
All in all, for such an expensive restaurant, I was expecting to be blown away by the food and service. Unfortunately I was not. I hope they can improve.

Excellent food at fair prices and truly outstanding service. We felt well cared for throughout the meal without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The staff combine professionalism with a warm, relaxed attitude that makes the experience especially pleasant. Shout-out to the hamachi and shrimp raviolo, really delicious.

I was expecting to be blown away based on other reviews and thought the food was just okay. Presentation of oysters was nice but they were not cold enough The salmon tartare and ravioli were both creative and fun The duck leg had very little taste to the meat itself, it was a nice plate but the teriyaki style sauce was bland Service was friendly enough, all in all as another reviewer said if your expectations are it's a bar with food you'll probably leave happy but if you're expecting a great restaurant will be disappointed

Farra is such a gem! The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully plated, and the wine list is incredible — full of unique and interesting options. The vibe is warm, modern, and intimate, perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening with friends. The staff are knowledgeable and make great recommendations. It’s the perfect mix of great food, great wine, and easygoing elegance.

Came here for dinner tonight and everything was a 10/10 - service, food, wine, ambience. The shrimp ravioli broth was amazing, as were the oysters, hash brown, schnitzel and raspberry dessert. Looking forward to coming back!

Food in general is great! I specifically love their FOIE GRAS MOUSSE with bread, and their scallop rice.
This is the best FOIE GRAS MOUSSE I’ve ever had, and the rice is crispy. A good place for dating with good vibe and service. It’s pricy, but it’s worthy.

Shocked this place isn’t talked about more but happy to have found this gem! Dishes were packed with flavor and very well done; small servings but great for tasting multiple dishes and sharing with another person. The intimate ambiance was impressive, and cool to see the chefs at work. Favorite dishes include the oysters, foie gras and hamachi crudo. Overall loved this place!

Amazing ravioli and even better crispy rice with scallops
A small and cute boutique wine bar, yet serious about their wine, foods and service.
🌱 Lobster ravioli tastes surprisingly light and refreshing, with a unique presentation that can impress your company.
🌱 Scallop rice is pretty large bowl of rice, but extremely flavorful and umami with the egg yolk and broth mixed together, makes you want to take a one bite after another.
🌱 Golden beets burrata is refreshing, not too special but a good starter to activate your appetite.
🌱 Oyster is so good. It’s not huge oyster, but fresh and seasoned perfectly.
Conclusion: 9/10, on the slightly expensive side, big wine choice, great for dates. Mini space so recommend to make a reservation, will come back again.

I had such a memorable dining experience at Farra. Tucked away in the Financial District, it strikes that rare balance between trendy and welcoming. The service was relaxed but attentive, and the space had a modern minimalism that felt both cool and cozy.
The long lobster ravioli was beautifully done—almost unexpectedly comforting. The noodles were silky and had this subtle chew, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice and umami from what tasted like a house-made sauce. It was simple at first glance but layered and satisfying with every bite.
Then came the scallop rice, which felt like an elevated twist on a comfort dish. Creamy, rich, and slightly crispy at the edges, it was the kind of plate you just want to keep to yourself. The egg yolk gave it an indulgent richness, and the seasoning was spot-on.
The salmon tartare was another standout. Perfectly cooked—soft and tender in the center with a beautifully crisp exterior. The seaweed added a briny, earthy edge that complemented the fish without overpowering it. Every component felt purposeful.
Farra isn’t trying to do too much—it does a few things really well, with creativity and subtle sophistication. A great spot for a date night or dinner with someone who appreciates thoughtful food in a calm, refined atmosphere.

This is probably my favorite French wine bar / bistro in nyc so far. The small dishes are so good. Especially the oysters (Asian taste), very tasty, umami. The foie gras is also great. Not too fatty, not too salty. It is just perfect. Only the salmon tartar is not my taste. The vibe is also good and wine menu is so long.

Ok - this place is an absolute MUST!!!
The food is amazing. The cooks pair tastes exquisitely. They change the menu regularly. However - when I went - the pairing of the buratta, beets, and pineapple was absolutely brilliant. Although unusual - there was a shrimp ravioli and miso soup. It was brilliantly executed seamlessly fusing Italian and Asian cuisines.
They have a seventy page wine list. The depth of their cellar, a benefit of their partnership with Terra, if excellent. They have multiple offerings across all of the major grape varietals and regions. They come with a price tag - but the variety and quality is exceptional.
The staff was amazing. Some of the best service I have received in the city. In one situation - I dropped my fork. One of the kitchen staff immediately saw it and replaced my fork without me even asking. The reception was exceptional. I was immediately seated and provided water and comfort.
I can’t say enough - but this is a place you must try!
