Fabulous bar for pre show drinks & light meal. Service is absolutely outstanding with super friendly & professional staff. It is such a joy to see genuinely happy young servers who are interested in assisting you with your choices, checking on you without intruding too much & making you feel welcome.

    A perfectly lovely evening of beautiful wine, excellent food (the green salad was a highlight and fresh and delicious!) and lovely ambiance and service. Highly recommend going to Farmer's Daughters while on an evening out in the CBD.
