| - I've now had dinner at Urban Farmer twice. Our first experience was great. A very attentive server, impressed with the steak and fish options, and overall good experience. My husband and I went back this past weekend and I hate to say our second experience wasn't as enjoyable as the first.
We were seated practically immediately after giving the name for the reservation. Water quickly followed as did our waitress. From the moment she came to the table I instantly had the feeling of being rushed. Quick to take the wine menu when we said we wouldn't be needing it, also took the cocktail menu immediately after ordering my first drink. I was quick to ask for it back since I wanted to try another beverage.
She was very quick to take our orders, again it felt very rushed, and not just being an attentive server.
We ordered, and after having some enjoyable convo with our beer and Moscow mule, which was mediocre at best, served not in copper mug and without a straw, which I found strange. I sucked that down and then ordered the Paloma. Which was crafted differently than I'm used to. The cayenne rim was a nice touch, but again the cocktail was served without a straw.
Our food came out quickly.
My husband ordered the 24oz bone in rib eye, the same steak he had his first visit, he said it was good, but nothing to come running back for. I ordered the salmon, which was good but strangely prepared. I typically prefer a simply prepared but amazing piece of salmon. The crusted outside was a nice feature but really underwhelming otherwise. Our sides included the Brussels sprouts, good but not as crispy as I'd like, and also came with raisins, not sure why that's necessary. Other sides were the twice baked potatoes( hubs says it was good), and fries ( which reminded me of fair fries). After we finished our table was cleared quickly, again they must want to flip tables quickly. After our waitress asked if we'd like dessert our bill was quick to follow.
All in all for the price of dinner and drinks, about $200, I expect incredible service and atmosphere. Instead we both very rushed and underwhelmed. I can't see us going back to UF. We both were happy to pay, leave and head to another spot to grab some brews.
