    Haven't been here for a few months. They used to have the best espresso martini around.We were disappointed in the drinks. Ordered meatless nachos, yet they still came with BBQ sauce on them, in the past that wasn't the case. Haddock bites were super delicious as always.Wings cooked nicely. Bang bang shrimp were good as well. Chili was good as well. Fresh crispy tortilla chips were great as well.

    If you visit this restaurant be prepared to pay to cash. The night we had dinner at the Farm we were charged twice for our meals . When we discussed this issue with the manager he refused to credit the second charge stating he would loose money. That same night many people were double charged. Does not seem like good way to do business.

    For a first time visit - ambiance was great; spacious seating easily seating our party of 6 - food selection was great; wide array of choices for everyone including vegetarian which is great. Drink options were very expansive between a great choice of draft, bottle/can choices, and mixed drinks Highly recommend for a night out with friends, family, or a date night with your significant other

    Great service sitting at the bar. Best Brussel Sprouts app we have ever had (and we try many). Very tasty & ample sized dinner salads. Nice clean, fresh tasting salmon & and really good steak tips on a beet salad.
