   The food was excellent, but the music was loud, making it difficult to hear others talking at the table. Also, the restaurant was very cold. I had to wear my coat the whole time while eating. They even had a portable floor heater next to the bar. I'm sure it will be more pleasant in the summer.

   Tom, thank you for the review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your meal, but will be sure to take the comments on music and room temperature back to our team. While we do love a summertime evening at Farm Bar, we want guests to be able to enjoy the ambiance all year round, so we will be sure to adjust where needed. Thank you again for the feedback!

   Overall the experience was extremely poor. The service was slow (15 minutes for drinks multiple times) and not very knowledgeable (asked if I wanted Dry Gin in my Manhattan). They bought out all the food at the same time (apps and main courses) and rushed us through our meal. Then asked us to leave after I had been there for an hour so they could give our table up for a reservation. Multiple tables around us were left alone and had been there longer than we had. Will not return and do not recommend.

   I want to love this place but it is actually just OK. The menu is rather limited and fairly basic. We have been seated at the same table both times that we have gone to the restaurant, it looks right at the women's restroom and it is by the kitchen. I have a couple pet peeves, one, they still have a QR code menu, two, they have an additional service fee percentage added to your bill which you can ask to take off but nobody does and it is added to over priced food and three you have to pay your bill via the QR code., can't the servers do this for the 20+ % tip and the added service fee?? Not sure I will be back.

   Kick us out of our table and made us chug our drinks because they didn’t handle the reservations correctly

   The food and drinks were great! The caesar salad was phenomenal and so was the braised short rib. The Christmas ambiance was also so warming. Will definitely be going back!
