"It’s hard not to have a good time with dinner at Red Farm. The downtown space is lively and energetic—the type of place where you’ll see couples on dressy date nights wearing wide-brimmed hats and fancy suede boots. And despite our apprehension about the pastrami egg rolls, it’s not all mashups here. In fact, most of the menu leans a little more classic—serving fancy, unique twists on dishes like shumai, long-life noodles, peking duck, and BBQ spare ribs—offered at decidedly upscale prices.
