| - It's like all your perfectly-healthy friends who make you mindful of your own wellness, with lectures of gluten intolerance and inflammation and Mercury in retrograde teamed up and opened their own casual restaurant.
Farm & Craft, which specializes in neither farm-style comfort food nor craft cocktails is a bright, airy, health-conscious locale to have tons of fun, albeit with a little less guilt. On a Spring day, the way natural light pours in is energizing and positive. I absolutely love it!
The modest menu is comprised of mostly safe selections, but with twists designed to make them a bit higher quality (or at least healthier). For example, grass-fed beef, flax seed & whole wheat carbohydrates, and chicken/fish from small, reputable sources. I enjoyed my BBQ Chicken flatbread. With the addition of black beans, I am sure this was packed with fiber, which is cool. The chicken was unnoticeable, and what I did notice appeared to be *gasp* unseasoned, so if they ever want to just give up on that and pencil it in as a vegetarian item, it'll probably fare much better.
When it comes to the drink menu, kombucha cocktails absolutely steal the show. I don't find these to be particularly complex or awe-inspiring. If cocktails are an art, these are a gimmick. But they are refreshing gimmick you should try if for no other reason than to satisfy your curiosity. I went with the kombucha habanero, which was...kombucha and habanero vodka. I also tried the bourbon variety, which had plenty of banana flavor as well. If this isn't up your alley, you'll find a limited selection of other cocktails. Four are some decent looking fruity cocktails, and four are just comprised of basic liquors served in grapefruits or halved watermelons. These look amazing for presentation, which is why I ordered one, but the quantity of booze you're getting is minuscule.
Yes, I paid $11 to drink less than one shot of Tito's out of a grapefruit. I deserve to be made fun of.
Anyways, let's talk about the service. It's slow. Painfully slow. I felt like just one person had all the tables. Drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Getting our checks at the end (for a party of about 10) was a 40-minute process. Lunch was 3 hours.
To conclude, Farm & Craft is vaguely health-conscious and very aesthetic, but that doesn't necessarily translate into taste or culinary creativity. If you're in the mood for guilt-free food, but you also want to booze it up, this place will work, even if it does feel like you're compromising a bit on both ends. I would personally prefer to go to one place for light bites and another for cocktails. I would also come back to grab some goodies to-go. It's OK.
