    FARMbloomington does not disappoint. We usually go for my birthday. This year, we started with the melted brie and bagette. Our mains were the salmon and baked rigatoni, both great. Shared the chocolate fudge layer cake for dessert with a scoop of Hartzell's ice cream. Excellent whiskey list. Thank you FARMbloomington!

    Both the service and food were great! Cocktails were fantastic! A good choice for a special meal. We came in after an IU football game (casual), but most diners were dressed for a nice night out/celebration. Loved the decor - felt very retro 1990s with the artwork and color theme. Berry cobbler was excellent!
