Walked up to this place cold sans-Yelp browse/review and it was great!
Walked right in for a party of 2 for about 9pm on a Saturday (the wait for outside was about 1 hour). The interior is super trendy, casual, and really nice.
The hostess guy was great, sat us immediately and was really friendly. Our server was really attentive, gave great suggestions and followed up whenever we needed anything.
They also were more than wiling to refill our bread basket :). I ordered the mushroom ravioli and was amazing, my bf ordered the rosemary chicken and it was a great portion (takes 25 minutes), but well worth the wait.
They have a corkage fee of $18 if you want to bring your own wine.
Overall, a really good option that is unusual for the area, which is filled with mostly holes in the wall. This is an actual nice restaurant that is great for bringing friends/etc before going out in LES.
Great spot, great service, great food.
Rotating specials, pastas, lots of variety on the mains (fish, red meat, poultry). Entrees range from $11 to $18.
Happy hour from 4-7p. Includes $1 east coast oysters and $5 beers on draft.
Tristan will greet you with a friendly smile and awesome service. The staff is equally as friendly and helpful; ask for Milosh if you need to schedule a special event.
A local gem. Not overcrowded and also a nice date spot.
Me and my party walked the LES in search of a place with 4 seats and food without a wait on a Saturday night. We stumbled along this place and were excited to eat….but that went away fast.
Here's the gist of it. Our server asked us if we wanted bread for the table. We said yes and all she brought was a basket of bread and olive oil. No plates….2 of my party members ordered pasta with meatballs and the meatballs were not fully cooked. One sent the dish back and order French fries instead (she was totally grossed out) and the other sent the dish back and requested that the meatballs be fully cooked. The staff was extremely aggravated by this. I ordered a burger with fries and was not impressed. It was blah. Our waitress didn't check on us once to make sure everything was ok.
I won't be back. Blah food and bad service.
This place is fantastic! I came here on a Friday just as the warm spring weather was arriving. We had an 8:15pm reservation for 4- not hard to get and they were very nice when half of the group showed up 15 mins late 🙂
Decor: beautiful, cozy and trendy. Everything was a breath of fresh air. Accent lighting in a dimly, yet appropriately, lit space made conversation seem private and safe. The place was spotless, and the wait staff was extremely attentive to cleaning up empty glass & dirty dishes.
Service- the bartender was great! Very nice, started conversation with everyone and really had a good time making drinks- even when presented with many many orders at a time! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu and made great recommendations according to each of our wants.
FOOD: start with the bruschetta- literally the freshest tomato & basil around! The grilled portobello mushroom was a smaller appetizer, probably better for two people, but still very nice. I had the Hand Made Pappardelle w/ Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce and it was just perfect. If you love cream sauce like me, you'll know there is a fine line between heavy and the right about of sauce, and they do it perfectly. Two of the girls got the Seared Salmon with mashed potatoes, vegetables, lemon capers & extra virgin olive oil… If you're trying to eat clean & gilt free – this dish is for you! Simple, great flavor, and super clean. The 4th friend went with the Clam special, which looked tasty… Just not my cup of tea 🙂 truffle fries were also a great share for the table and super truffle flavor!
Delicious, local, organic, humane, AND reasonable prices! Simple food, but tastes very good. Like this restaurant, this review needs no more. =)
I love the ambiance here. When I step inside, off freakin Ludlow street no less, I feel calmer, somehow more soothed, and way more sophisticated than I have any right to feel. It's that whole French bistro vibe they've got going on, but then they serve Italian food, which is suits me just fine.
I ordered the pappardelle in a mushroom cream sauce ($15). The portion is generous, but it's not overly rich. If you're looking for something drenched in a heavy cream sauce you won't find it here. Their french fries are also perfect.
The brunette bartender is awesome and friendly, she has a name that I insist on forgetting over and over. All the staff here, including the owners, are really awesome people who put a lot of pride and work into what they do.
ETA: Oscar the bartender is also really great, and they have $1 oysters some nights!
ETA 2: Wednesday is jazz night next door at Chloe (upstairs). I came to see the live band and then headed to Farmhouse for dinner, had a fantastic night 🙂
Edited to add 3: Their specials are off the hook. The mussels provencal and tuna tartar with wasabi are serious winners.
My friends who live in the area swear by this place and have taken everyone they know to it since it opened. In an area that has such a huge selection of great restaurants, it's saying a lot that people want to come back over and over after trying Farmhouse. When I finally tried it for myself, it lived up to my high expectations.
My one gripe is the name. To me, Farmhouse sounds like a generic farm to table themed place that you could find anywhere. But once you visit you'll see that between the killer ambiance, amazing menu, and great service, it's by no means generic!
We made a large reservation somewhat last minute on a Saturday evening and they were nice enough to accommodate us. The table was a teeny bit tight for about 10 of us, but it felt like a cozy family dinner and we couldn't be happier bumping elbows and sharing some bottles of wine over candlelight.
The menu offers a lot of variety, from brunch dishes to an entire ravioli section to steak and seared salmon. There's nothing super weird on there, which is kind of refreshing. It's just classically well-prepared food. I really enjoyed my spaghetti and meatballs which at $15 is a bit pricey, but probably about the same price at a touristy place in Little Italy for WAY better quality than most of those spots. Another hit is the organic roast chicken. I'm not usually one to order chicken when I'm eating out (it's often the most boring selection on the menu), but this one is flavorful and huge. The mashed potatoes on the side are delish as well.
I really liked how simple the dessert menu was, also. You'll see things like apple pie and chocolate cake. Again, it may seem boring but trust me – it's not. If you want a straightforward meal that will leave you full and happy without breaking the bank, I highly recommend Farmhouse.
A lovely surprise the other evening. I used to visit the French place that had occupied the space but had never quite found its footing.
The oysters were good as was the hanger steak. A relatively good cut which was tender and well seasoned. The whole dining room was very aromatic.
There were some nice wines on the list and we enjoyed a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
The prices were very reasonable.
This is definitely one I would return to.
