Be wary if you order online. I got three plates expecting 3 injera and was given 1. I ordered two extra gluten free injera for a celiac eating with us. They assumed this meant we wanted it replaced. The only correction the restaurant offered was for us to drive and pick up the extra injera which is not a short drive instead of doing anything to say sorry. The person on the call told me it was up to me to tell them at time of pickup that selecting gluten free injera means they will replace it and it isn't just an add on. Will be wary of any future orders ever.

Wish there were more gluten free options but my go to is the Thai chili shrimp tacos. They are so delicious!!!! Their cheese dip with chorizo is yummy. Their salsa is too hot for me. It's good but too spicy. I wish they had a mild version. Service is okay. Don't be surprised if there is a little delay with your waitor/waitress. Atmosphere: I wish the music wasn't as loud as it is. But I'm not sure if the building being older and the acoustics just make it seem like the music is loud. Parking can be a pain if you're going during the hot times on the weekends.

I had the eggs benedict and it was amazing! I normally can’t have it because most places make the hollandaise sauce using wheat. But the farmhouse makes it gluten free! Amazing!!

This is quickly becoming one of our favorite places. I am living the gluten-free life and they made fried rice for me without soy sauce. It was really good, too.

The person at the counter was apparently having a rough day and seemed frustrated. I hope everything is going better for them. Maybe the place was extra short staffed. That's common these days. My one major complaint is that it took over twenty minutes for me to get my food. Again, my first guess would be staffing issues. I ordered an eggs benedict and the egg yolks were almost sold through, which wasn't the worst as i had mine bread free, having a gluten allergy. The cook might have taken the initiative to cook them a little firmer since there was no soaking material. The portion of hollandaise was a bit light, i could purpose the same hypothesis as above to steelman the chef. But other than that, it was a delightful meal. The atmosphere is excellent and the coffee bar offers a fine tasting brew. I'll be coming back in the future.
