Farmer and the Fishmonger

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.

Nice atmosphere and really good food. Service was fantastic and the servery was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options.
