Picture don't do it justice. I ordered 22 oz steak I cut it down the middle so that why it looks a little funny. It was juicy and no A1 sauce was put on this baby. The yummy crisp onion on top this just melted in my mouth. My six year old had eaten most her fries before I could even take the picture she didn't need to catch up she said they were delicious. And of course she ate half my steak. Garlic mashed potatoes nice smooth creamy oh I'm just craving it as I'm thinking about it. And their soup was delicious it was this Italian sausage at first my daughter turned her nose up on it because it looked green but she took a bite of it and she wanted to steal it from me.She did. Inside was nice and cozy and I wouldn't have found it if I wouldn't have been following my GPS why because I didn't think the house was the restaurant and let me just say now I know where it is I will definitely be back again it is worth a trip. Staff was friendly and nice they gave my daughter toys to play with while we waited and we didn't wait too long for our food. I am going back with my husband for a date night. This was a cozy little gem I am glad to find. Oh and the carrot cake was just smooth and my mouth . Which again my 6-year-old took it from me and devoured it. We went right on the dot at 4pm on a Tuesday had the place to ourselves for a minute . Then came people. The people that came were just as friendly as the staff. I agree with there sign that basically say coming as strangers leave as friends. If you're coming with a large group call make a reservation is my suggestion. Don't be afraid to try...
Read moreDined at Farmstead with my husband and mother-in-law on April 8th. Our initial experience at the bar was a brash bartender. Dinner: My husband's entree arrived at table hot, and he enjoyed it. It was walleye dinner, and the only positive of the night. While watching servers bring entrees to 3 other tables my mother-in-law and I waited for our dinners. Keep in mind my husband's meal had already arrived. Luckily his was hot because he politely waited for our dinners to arrive at the table before beginning to eat. My dinner, the 6oz tenderloin entree, arrived at table overdone (I requested medium. It was most definitely medium-well.). My potatoes (steak fry type) were wet and room temperature. My vegetables were also room temperature. Very disappointing (ESPECIALLY at today's inflated restaurant charges). In hindsight, I should have said something and requested a re-do. However, that would have just interfered with my husband's and mother in law's dining experience. In addition to this overdone and room temperature food, and a significant delay to it arriving at the table, the dining room is very small (which we were familiar with from past dining experience), but the waitresses and busboys/busgirls just hover on the edge of the dining room waiting to turn a table. So unappealing and annoying. The bill was close to $200 with tip (2 entrees, a sandwich, and some cocktails), we should be able to enjoy our evening out without the hovering table attendants waiting to get us out, so they can serve the next customers. Will...
Read moreWent here for dinner with my family. We arrived at 5:05pm on 12/28 only to find out there was an 1.5hr to an 1.75hr wait. We got the impression the hostess really wanted us to leave but the weather was kind of snowy and we did not want to be driving around looking for a plan B so we decided to stay. The atmosphere at the bar was nice. All the people waiting to be seated were nice about making sure those who had been standing the longest got barstools when those seated were moved to the dinning room. Yes, small means small they have a total of 10 barstools and two additional chairs. The bartender was very nice and we ended up having our appetizer at the bar with drinks. We had the Ohio skins and they were the highlight of our food experience. The potatoes had lots of meat to them, lots of cheese and came with lots of sour cream. A must for us. We were seated after an hour and 10 min. and our server was pleasant, the food came out promptly and our order was correct. I will not fault them for the poor quality of the lobster bisque. That one is on me, I should have asked if it was made fresh in house. My son enjoyed his Cajun chicken sandwich but unfortunately my husband and I ordered the steak; he had the New York Strip and I had the filet. They were cooked correctly but totally devoid of taste even though we both got the garlic glaze topper. What a disappointment! Dessert was good, I got the double chocolate tart and my son had the raspberry gelato. I thought at $169.00 it was way overpriced for...
