This was my second visit to The Farm House. The first time was pre-Covid and over lunch with a group of coworkers. The lunch was excellent. Recently I had dinner there with another group of coworkers. My dinner experience was not the same as my lunch experience.
FIrst off -- we had a great server. I did not get her name but she was excellent and we kept her busy. I will definitely say that The Farm House service definitely was not lacking.
The food was hit or miss. We ordered all of the apps except for the fish tacos. The apps were definitely a hit. The chicken wings were so good--smoky flavor, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The spinach dip was creamy, well-seasoned and delicious. My favorite was the cornbread. I loved that it was not sweet and it was not dry either. The butter on the side could go on anything!
The entrees - this is where we got a few misses. I ordered the trout. The fish was good and I loved the Brussels Sprouts. For me, the creme fraiche on the plate was too sour and detracted from the dish. My food was also room temperature when it came to me. My friend ordered the scallops and was very disappointed, especially at $40 for four scallops. The scallops were too salty and the Roasted Pumpkin Risotto was awful--like cool soup. It wasn't even room temperature. We asked for the risotto to be reheated. It came back but even reheating it did not do anything to save the fact that it was bland (no trace of salt, brown butter or sage flavors), mushy, watery and if there was any roasted pumpkin in it, we didn't see it. We also did not see a trace of a single pumpkin seed.
Side dishes - we ordered all of the sides except the collard greens. The roasted mac and cheese again had a sour aftertaste. Not sure if it was creme fraiche or sour cream that was added to the mac and cheese, but the aftertaste was not a pleasant one. The gouda grits were tasty but again, came to us room temperature. The roasted red potatoes, fries and brussels sprouts were fine but again, not served at the right temperature.
I gave the restaurant four stars primarily because of the service. I would definitely try dinner again, as we all have an off night.
