    I took my Girlfriend to Farmers Table for Valentines Day. Everything was especially great. Server was, "VIRGINIA B. B." and she was just OUTSTANDING!!!! I have a dairy allergy and she went out of her way to ensure none was used on my food. She was attentive, sweet, polite and like I said, "OUSTANDING!!!!" We love this place. YOU WILL TOO!!! So please try it and ask for Virginia B. B.

    My husband and I went to Farmer’s Table for a Valentine’s Day dinner. It was to celebrate the day we met 39 years ago. The table they gave us was in a crowded , high traffic area. We each ordered the 5 course Valentine dinner.Two minutes after a course was brought out, the waitress wanted to bring the next course. We felt rushed. My husband slid his martini closer to him to drink, but the table was so bumpy on the surface, the drink spilled. He lost half his drink. The waitress brought a new napkin but didn’t offer a replacement drink. The drink was very expensive. He said he would take another martini. This one came out after a long wait and was only partially filled. He felt that the bartender gave him a short pour. When he finally received his surf and turf , the lobster had no edible meat in the shell. There was a claw but I had to request a cracking tool. When we complained about no lobster meat, just a shell, the waitress did bring out another lobster. For the amount of money we spent on this dinner, we were very disappointed.

    We have eaten at Farmer’s Table many times, but not recently. On this visit, we were surprised to find the restaurant quiet in the middle of a Saturday night dinner seating (7:30 pm). The waiter was not engaging, but our order was served promptly and accurately. The food, however, was shockingly oversalted, and this was the case for several pasta dishes - not just one. We let the server know (because it was inedible), and he kindly removed it from our bill. Additionally, I was thrilled to see the addition to the menu of pasta prepared in a cheese wheel. Unfortunately, however, it appeared that the chef preparing the dish tableside was doing so for the very first time. We will be back - we like to support neighborhood establishments - but we hope for a better experience next time.

    The top 2 dishes are worth the price. The restaurant could have been cleaner. Reservation details were not honored. 18% gratuity automatically added to check. Pizza was tasty but undercooked. Short Rib entree’s included pasta was under seasoned and not good at all. Sea bass was over cooked and mashed potatoes were dry.

    Service was excellent and ambience of the restaurant was great. Food was OK. We ordered two pizzas, and the riccotta spinach was excellent. After a mixed up order, our second pizza, the prosciutto and burrata, was a bit dissapointing. The pizza wasn't fully cut through (pizza was cut before proscutto was added on top) and the burrata made the center of the pizza soggy. flavors were good though, and the pizza crust was excellent.
