We had such high expectations forf this place. Farm to table. Limited menu and serving days. Excellent, enthusiastic reviews. It seemed like a sure-fire, unique, boutique and tasty experience. It wasn't.
Four adults ordered a cold cucumber soup, a white bean salad topped with tuna (from a can), a ribs/chicken combo and two bhan mi sandwiches. With four Snapple ice tea (no ice; "ice machine is broken") it came to $116. A very pricey lunch for four. And no table service. You order and pick up at the counter.
The soup was fine. The salad was quite skimpy considering it was $18. The vegetables, which should have been picked just hours earlier, were crisp and fresh but nothing special.
The ribs and chicken were pedestrian. It's hard to believe either came from the farm. Nothing wrong with them but no special taste or BBQ crispness and juiciness you'd expect hot off the grill. The corn on the cob was inedible. Dried out, lukewarm , tasteless. The worst ear of corn I've tasted in years. AND THIS IS PRIME LI SWEET CORN SEASON!!
The bahn mi were good but not authentic. Served on American style roll.
Lunch is eaten on well-worn picnic tables with umbrellas. When I sat down, one of the wood slats creaked and partially broke; the wood was rotten.
So, a very disappointing experience considering the high expectations we had going in. I will never go back. I suggest you don't go for the first time if you haven't been.
