I had a wonderful date here and while it was a bit loud during the busiest part of the night, we never had trouble hearing each other. We split a good chicken dish and truffle fries, as well as quite possibly the best crabcake I’ve ever had!!! There was something about it that was magical and this restaurant is worth the visit, just to sample that crabcake!! Also, kudos to the staff, they were kind, knowledgeable and just the right kind of intrusive to add to a wonderful evening!

The food was good, properly made, well prepared. However, the operations and mechanics needs a lot of work. We won’t be back.

Wonderful dinner! Delicious food and great service. The outdoor patio dining was so pleasant & relaxing. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday with my husband. 🙂

I was here at a work event so need to come back again but atmosphere is great, service is solid and menu is broad/something for everyone. Typical Americana menu with steak to fish to chicken, etc but good portions and well laid out anesthetic. I’ll be back

Just ok. Food wasn’t great, neither were the drinks. Service was incredibly slow; felt like they say us next to the kitchen then forgot about us. 45 mins before our drinks were served. Not the best experience but not terrible either. The dessert shown was the best part and quite good in fact.

First time at the Farmhouse. a little journey from Concord, but not a bad ride. With my wife and eldest son on a Saturday night. Very nice room, was smaller than what I imagined, but the room was quite busy, not noisy per se, but definitely energetic. We started with the arancini and olives to start. Arancini were smaller than one would find in a Sicilian restaurant, but were plentiful for the 3 of us as a shared starter. Fried risotto stuffed with cheese. Came with a marinara sauce. Very enjoyable. For dinner, my son had the Bolognese, and thought that it was very good (but he did say mine was better!), my wife had the Maine Halibut, large piece of fish, not overcooked, all the accompaniments were great. I had the Chicken Milanese, which frankly was gigantic and needed to bring a third home with me (too much for me!). It was dressed with arugula, romano, tomatoes, red onion, capers. Almost a piccata. Cocktails before dinner (is Mezcal the new goto liquor? I see it on every cocktail menu now, no matter what the cuisine. am happy with that) and a few glasses of a good French chard with dinner. No room for dessert. Will definitely come back if down that way again.

Made a reservation for a table for two. Date night… The hostess seated us right next to the entrance, next to the blowing curtain that was meant to keep the cold out. It felt like a drafty corridor between a storage closet and the bathrooms. The worst table in the whole restaurant. A conscientious owner would not place a table there. When another table for two opened up 2min after we arrived, we asked if we could move to it but she already had checked in another party. Not the nice dinner atmosphere we’d hoped for, so we left…

The halibut is a feature of their menu and is excellent as is the food generally. We go frequently and there is plenty of variety on the menu.
