We were excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, it fell short. Although the restaurant was not busy, service was mediocre. The wait for food was 45 minutes (pizza and salad). The pizza was good, but the salad was lacking. We won't be returning.

I eat at Farmers Table a few times a month and it’s always been amazing with great service and wonderful food. Although Mandy was very good, she was tending bar and we were a bit neglected…not her fault. The other servers often walked right by us and we had to ask for water three times. Then my daughter found a hair in her food. Mandy tended to that right away and took it off our bill. I still love your restaurant and will return, but I was rather disappointed, especially since we were celebrating my son-in-law‘s birthday.

Our server was pleasant but very attentive. Food coming out of kitchen was very slow. We got there at 6:10 PM and didn’t leave until 8:45 PM. And that was not because we were slow to leave, it was because the service was so slow.

Overall a great meal. At first we were seated under a huge fan when the place was almost empty inside. The fan was moving way faster than the other ones and was making us uncomfortable. We were able to ask the server to move to somewhere less windy. She was very kind and places us in a better section. Other than that, food was delicious and everyone was very attentive. Would come back again.

Uros (?sp) was our waiter and he was excellent! He was attentive, professional, gave suggestions when asked, very kind, and efficient. We sat outside and it was lovely. Only constructive criticism are the prices. I thought some were high. But the service was phenomenal.

Server was excellent. Garden salad was too small for the price. Extremely noisy...everyone had to talk loud to hear conversations...at every table. Which only made the noise level worse. Sad to see Pecan Chicken Salad was not on the menu at the restaurant, but was on the menu provided on Open Table.

We booked an 8:15 PM reservation, were seated early at 8:10 PM, and had our full order in by 8:20 PM. Appetizers arrived quickly at 8:25 PM, but the experience deteriorated rapidly from there. At 8:45 PM—while we were still waiting for our entrées—our server gave us "last call" for food because the kitchen closes at 9:00 PM. Expecting diners to decide on dessert or other food before their main meal has even arrived is completely unacceptable. If a kitchen shuts down at 9:00 PM, the restaurant should not accept 8:15 PM reservations. When our entrées finally arrived at 8:55 PM (a 30-minute wait after appetizers), the food was clearly rushed: The pizza dough had no tomato sauce and cheese was not melted. A steak ordered medium to medium-well arrived completely rare (my wife didn’t send it back only because it had already taken so long to get our food). My whole branzino tasted fine, but yielded barely three ounces of meat. To top it off, at 9:05 PM I asked for an iced tea refill, only to be told the bar had already dumped the entire batch for the night to close up. I have no issues with respect to waiter. I think he tried but was handcuffed by a kitchen and management that wanted to shut down early. Accepting late reservations only to pressure guests, shut down service around them, and deliver undercooked food is terrible management. If the staff wants to close by 9:00 PM, reservations should cut off by 7:30 PM. I emailed the restaurant that night to let them know. I got an automated response that someone would respond 1-2 business days. Never heard from them We will not be returning.
