Hate to do this. Been coming here since i was a baby with my family. First time coming in alone with my daughter and my partner who wanted to try something she’s never had before. So in my head I’m like “oh I know the perfect spot”. Boy was I wrong and feel really bad for the experience her and my daughter had here. Bald hostess assumed my daughter was a boy. She has long hair and was wearing all grey with little dark blue HEARTS all over. Okay whatever mistakes happen. Anyways, Asked for a booth after he sets her menu on the table and literally throws her crayons on the table and watch them fall on the ground. Doesn’t say sorry or offer to even pick them up. Mind you it’s 2 adults and a toddler and he sits us at a big round table that sits 4 and not to mention a high chair added to that. After I asked for a booth, he doesn’t respond and just turns around with the high chair and starts walking to the booth. Sets the high chair down and doesn’t say anything or make eye contact. Just walks away. Now the server was overall nice. Butttt starts to talk Spanish to my daughter assuming that that’s what we speak. I don’t not speak a lick of Spanish nor does my one year old daughter who’s barley learning to speak English. The energy of this place was off. MAYBE ITS TATTOOS AND TAN SKIN THAT MAKES THESE PEOPLE TREAT PAYING CUSTOMERS THIS WAY. Server also sets my ticket on the table face up. Okay whatever not a big deal. Ticket was 39$ and some change. I HAND her 3 20s and ask for some 5s and some 1s. Stares at me weird as if only gave her 40$ for a 39$ tab. Comes back and I put my hand out for the change and ignores my hand and proceeds to put the change on the table as if she didn’t see my hand out. I still left a 13$ tip because that’s the type of person I am. But Farm House will not get another cent out me. Atmosphere feels like it’s for a certain demographic of people. Little to no diversity in this place! Save yourself the bad experience if your not their type of people. Or even if you don’t look like...
Read moreI'm in two minds about writing this. On one hand I'm worried that my praise will bring people in proves which will likely result in me not being able to enjoy the establishment without a wait but on the other hand I feel I need to scribble upon the experience I've just enjoyed. The Farmhouse Cafe is a location that, for some reason or another, I've left until just now to frequent. Although, if truth be told, I've always wanted to. Upon walking in, we (both the wife and I) were seated at a table. Now, I'm a fan of booths, but I decided to let this slide as this was my first meal following a procedure demanding a 36 liquid diet. But enough about my health. Upon being seated, the service was prompt. Unlike many establishments within which I feel hurried, the waitress here exuded an aura of calm, a whenever you're ready vibe. Being unfamiliar with the menu, it should cone as no surprise that we took a little while to dwindle down our eventual choices. The wife ordered the Monday special, ham, and cheese quiche, while my eyes were apparently larger than my belly, and I opted for the tenders ("taste teaser") and Farmhouse Club sandwich. Between us, we also devided upon a strawberry rhubarb muffin. The wait was well worth it. The tenders were Kaiju (Japanese monster for those not in the know) sized, the muffins were moist and delicious, the quiche was delectable, and the Club was tasty. In short, for this is transforming into quite the foodie diatribe. I'm glad to report that everything exceeded expectations. The prices were decent, the service was excellent, and the selection enough to please those whose usual haunts include the likes of Summer Kitchen and Village Inn. As a side note, we ordered a caramel bar to go and a half dozen of those devious strawberry rhubarb muffins. If, like me, you've driven past and pondered upon stopping in, do so. But I implore you, please leave at least a caramel oat bar for my enjoyment. I will be visiting again, and again a huge shout out to the incredibly...
Read moreStopped by Wednesday 10/16/19 @ 8:25PM. My family of 4 went to the door and it was locked. Two women outside said they had just locked the doors. I frequent this restaurant and I know they don't close until 9PM. We wanted ti grab a bite to eat and some baked goods to go, but they shut their doors early. I called and a kind woman answered the phone. I asked her if they are still open and she said, yes for another 30 minutes. I said that we just came there and their doors are locked and she then changed her story to "my manager closed the doors to save on labor costs since it was slow". I asked to speak to her manager and was put on hold for 5 minutes. He answered and said they closed due to being slower and needed to save on labor. When your hours say you're open until 9PM and it says so online, your customers have the reasonable expectation that you will be open and they can order some food. Why be open for business if you aren't going to follow through on what you state are your hours of operation. I worked for the Garden Cafe back in their heyday and we had moments where it was really slow. We would never had dared to shut our doors early because of being slow. We cut staff down to the bare minimum and made it work. If you want people to stay loyal, don't short-change them by shutting the doors early to "save on labor". I asked the manager if there is someone hight to speak to and he said yes, Dan Bosselman. I remember working with Dan at the Garden Cafe and I will be calling him. I can't imagine he...
