Great service, inconsistent kitchen and sourcing. I loved the setting—felt like settling into a cozy living room with genuinely comfy leather grandfather chairs—and our server was a delight: warm, attentive, and easy to chat with. The star of the night was the fish: one of the best I’ve had anywhere, with perfectly seared, shatter-crisp skin and deep, clean flavor.
Unfortunately, the supporting cast didn’t match. The bread tasted pre-packaged rather than freshly baked. The Caesar arrived with limp, soggy lettuce; the dressing was thin and watery, the parmesan cheese texture was like biting through wax, and the croutons were stale. I was advised to get dressing on the side, but it didn’t come with the plate and had to be requested after the fact.
Bottom line: hospitality and atmosphere are top-notch, and the kitchen clearly has the chops—at least on that fish—to deliver something memorable. If they tighten up the basics (fresh bread, better quality parmesan, crisp greens, thicker dressing, day-of croutons, and follow-through on requests), this could easily be a four- or five-star experience.

We must have gone on a bad night because not impressed. Meatball appetizer was overcooked like rocks, veal tasted like it was fried, frutti di mare pasta was watery. The lobster cream sauce was the consistency of warm milk poured over pasta, my wine glass was not clean, it had the remnants of lips on the rim. Our waiter was very friendly but seemed overwhelmed. So disappointed.

Dining at The Farm House feels like stepping into a warm country kitchen where comfort meets creativity. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with rustic charm—wooden beams, cozy lighting, and the inviting aroma of something delicious simmering nearby.
A special shoutout goes to Sofian, our host, who set the tone right away with his warm welcome and genuine hospitality. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home — greeting us with a smile, checking in throughout the evening, and ensuring everything ran seamlessly.

This high-end restaurant is worth the visit. Our service was excellent. The sea bass was perfect, as well as the crab a la vodka and salmon. The salads are fresh and very big. They have a very good wine collection, and tasty desserts.

I had high expectations for this place. I was celebrating my birthday, and I was craving a steak. I asked for it to be medium well and it came out tough and well done.The smashed potatoes that came with it didn't have any seasoning. Though the brushetta appetizer that we was got was appetizing.

Delicious food…every course. Only minor complaint is no draft beer and sodas sold by the can at $4.50 a pop😬

The food was not very good, especially for the price The veal parmesan looked like it was deep fried. The meatballs were hard. It was a disappointing dining experience.
