   An amazing experience on all levels. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings and enjoyed an extraordinary meal. Staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly.

   We recently dined at Farmer's Apprentice and were impressed by the quality of the food and the ambiance. However, we felt the service could benefit from a more subtle approach. While our server was attentive, their frequent interruptions often felt unnecessary and bordered on being intrusive. With over a decade of experience in high-end restaurants, I understand the importance of balancing attentiveness with grace. Anticipating needs—such as refilling drinks or clearing plates—without interrupting the flow of conversation is a hallmark of exceptional service. While the meal itself was delightful, this aspect of the service detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

   We opted for the Tasting Menu which featured a variety of dishes. They were all fairly creative and tasty with somewhat unique profiles. One or two dishes were excellent but overall none were of the "wow" factor. Restaurant was small and cozy with a half empty house on a rainy Tuesday evening. The servers were both very polite & professional, providing a good description of each dish. I would recommend Farmer's Apprentice if you want to try dishes which have a unique and different flavor profile which utilizes seasonal and local ingredients.

   The space is very small, 6-8 wooden tables and chairs. Very rustic, like you're in a farmhouse. The dishes are super small as one would expect at a Michelin restaurant, but much smaller than at Published or Suyo's, and more expensive. Their instagram page portrays a much more positive, enjoyable space than what it really is. The dishes we tasted were good, but nothing extraordinary. And it was very difficult to enjoy any kind of conversation as it was sO loud in the restaurant. One table of 8 overtook the very small space which design wasn't conducive at all to absorbing sound vibrations. The two waitresses were polar opposites. One was very sweet, cheerful and attentive, whilst the other was borderline rude with her dryness and more of a downer. Wouldn't return.

   Extremely poor food wise. I was there awhile back, and it was excellent. Now it has changed to a salad base menu, most of it are salads and vegetarian. And the family style increased from $70CAD to $130CAD for more salads. Absolutely disappointed

    Amazing food. Mushroom dish (never would have guessed it was vegan) and Beef cheeks particularly good. And really nice service.
