| - I think I've been in the door at my place for 3 minutes. Came straight back from Farm.
Correction; Farm and CHRISTA.
OK, let's set the scene: It's April 16/2011 another stupefying, mid winter's day... yah, you read that right.
An additional slap in the chops from Winter. The last two years we've had two seasons. Winter and the last week of August.
Now, I've been to Farm on a number of occasions, and was always pleasantly surprised. EVERYTHING is so, beautifully presented, and it tastes like nobody's business.
Today they just launched a new Brunch Menu.
Tragically, they've decided to have someone well versed in Creative Writing detail everything on the Menu.
It reads like a New York Times Art Review.
OK? So try to decide.
Just try.
Enter: CHRISTA.
Imagine Julia Roberts giving it 400% while working your table like U2 does Wembley Stadium..
Incredibly engaging, involving, attentive and friend-ly, friendly... friendly.
She's a master at the art of l-i-s-t-e-n-i-n-g.
You can get a meal anywhere you go, a meal like you get at FARM is a one in ten, but you load that with French Press Coffee and the single finest service I've ever had in my entire life, (*my lady-pal completely concurred), and they had to pull me out of there with a heavy lifter.
The food was superb and so enjoyable on such a dog-fornication day, we said no way, this just ain't gonna; end....
So?
With a Rebel Yell? We cried Mo', Mo, MO-O-O!
On to the Cheeses.
Don't even ATTEMPT to navigate these.
Just indicate some interest and allow Cap'n Christa to navigate you safely to shore.
Christa?
ORDER for us.
Christa?
Pick a wine!
Keener than an Army Sharpshooter she kept knocking them down, one by one. All with pinpoint accuracy.
2 Hours later?
We had NO choice but to head home in our two separate directions.
How the Hell can you top that?
We both tipped like fiends, walked out the door and started thinking, Geebuz.... what just happened in there?
Food: Exceptional
Service: Always been a cut above until today.
Christa elevated it from a meal into an EVENT. An EXPERIENCE.
Gawd luv ya' girl.
We're humbled.
