    The best soft serve coconut ice cream we’ve ever had! Steaks were great and had a sweet potato on the side. The service was great and can’t wait to go back.

    Pre dinner drink at the bar came with great service. Dinner outside was excellent. Our server, Holly, was awesome. Super kind, fun and took excellent care of us. At one point the manager (owner?) came by to check on us- saw that our bags were on the ground. He brought over an extra chair so we could use that instead. Super attention to detail- had a great dinner and experience.

    Had a great meal and food and drinks were excellent-the hummus with beets was fantastic. Great ambience too, perfect for a quiet dinner and or date night. We would have liked to have had actual butter on a plate with our bread instead of the small “diner” tubs it came with. Because the restaurant was so nice and effort was made to make sure our experience was great, this seemed like a needle scratch. Small complaint I know but just an observation. We’ll be back for sure.

    Had a great experience at Farm Bar recently. The food was excellent, especially the fried chicken sandwich, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The carrot appetizer was a pleasant surprise and packed with flavor, while the artichoke dip was rich, creamy, and perfect for sharing. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and a meal we’ll definitely come back for.
