Went here for dinner and had high hopes. They have good reviews for GF and have an allergen menu with clearly stated what is gluten free or not. Of note, they do NOT have a separate gluten free fryer. I told my server I have celiac and emphasized to tell the kitchen I have a gluten allergy and to be extra cautious. My burger came out with a side of fries. Remember, they don’t have a gluten free fryer. They apologized and went to remake it. Then my side salad came out with croutons. At that moment I was mortified. Definitely did not trust them AT ALL. I would have walked out but unfortunately the person I was with had gotten her food so I felt stuck/trapped. My server was sweet and told the manager who talked to me and apologized. My server did mark everything correct, it was the kitchens mistake. They corrected their mistake (we’ll see how well they did with CC based on my reaction later.. but so far I suspect likely CC because I’m having subtle signs). I appreciate that they corrected it and apologized but I’ll be honest I expected a discount, or for my meal to be comped and neither happened. I paid full price for my meal and tipped my server 20% because it was not her fault at all. Overall I will never be back and would definitely NOT recommend this to anyone with celiac. Very frustrating experience.

I couldn’t understand why the beautiful patio area was 75% empty on a Saturday at 5 pm until after about 15 minutes of being there. Our server finally refilled my husband and I’s drinks after we had to ask the manager because they had sat empty for 20 minutes. I ordered the gluten free pizza crust that was $3 more and it was the worst GF crust ever. I just ate the toppings off the pizza and my server didn’t even ask me anything about it. My son ordered 2 kids menu items, so he could take one for lunch the next day. The server never offered to refill his drink even though technically, he should have gotten at least 2. My son’s pizza was also terrible. He said the French fries were decent, that’s the only thing that was positive. It’s too bad, because Farmer and Fishmonger were one of our previously favorite restaurants. Never again.

I ordered a gluten-sensitive option of bbq mac and they not only fixed the toppings and remade it after I forgot to say I can’t have the jalapeños, but they made the chicken in the oven instead of the stove top to avoid the same surface they cook other gluten options on. Super sweet people and awesome service!! ❤️

The Paddle Bowl I got at the Minnesota State Fair this weekend was one of my favorite things I tried; so, finding out there was a location in Apple Valley made my day! The bowls are all gluten free, which is great for me, someone who is gluten intolerant. Both bowls I had this weekend were lick-the-bowl delicious. They were full to the brim, the perfect balance of textures, and incredibly flavorful. I got the smallest size, both times; as a treat to share, it was very filling. As a solo venture, it was more than enough to keep me full and satisfied until my next meal. I'll be looking forward to the next time I'm near a location to enjoy another!

Ok first, I am giving this place 5 stars because the food and cocktails were truly spectacular, and I hope this restaurant sticks around for a long time. The service, however, was not 5 stars. I’ll get into that more in a moment. I ultimately decided to give our experience 5 stars under the assumption that we just happened to be there on a night when the stars weren’t aligned for us when it came to the service. The cocktail menu features all the favorites, and the bartender clearly knows how to make them. I can’t recommend the French 75 strongly enough. Just wonderful. And THE FOOD. As someone who can’t have gluten, I appreciated the wide range of GF options, clearly marked on the menu. I had the steak frites and my husband got the scallops. Both dishes were uniquely flavorful, cooked exactly how we wanted them, and the portions were sizable but not ridiculous. The steak was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The service is the only thing that kinda failed us. Our server was lovely, but I think maybe she had too many tables or something, because it all felt a little chaotic. Our cocktails arrived well after our appetizer. And then I received the steak tips instead of the steak frites, so they apologized and said they would get my steak out as quickly as possible - which was about 20-25 minutes later, after my husband was done with his scallops. The red wine I ordered with my steak arrived another ten minutes after that. And while our server apologized, no one seemed particularly concerned by all of this. I mean, I was fine. These are first world problems, after all. It was just a little disappointing, given how top-notch the food was, to have the service fail to match it. All that said, we will absolutely be back. I want that steak again for sure, along with another French 75.
