I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

Farmstead Table should be everyone's "go to" restaurant when you need a special yet unpretentious restaurant. The staff are friendly (but not seeking to be your new best friend) and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is low key, nicely decorated, and NO TV! The food is very creative and extremely delicious, and with offerings that you would not find elsewhere. Farmstead Table is a favorite for brunch or lunch. I have not yet enjoyed its dinner menu but have no doubt that it's equal to the task if not better.
