| - Haven't been to Urban Farmer in over a year, but in that time nothing has changed: Urban Farmer still serves top notch, high quality food.
The bread they serve here is soooo good. I don't remember it being that good last time, or even receiving bread last time. You get a freshly baked roll of cornbread and two sweet wheat buns. I normally try to avoid bread at restaurants so I don't fill up, but I couldn't resist these.
We started off with the yellowtail crudo and the foie gras. The yellowtail crudo was served with grapefruit, jalapeƱos, and cilantro. I avoided the jalapeƱos at all costs, so my perfectly composed bite consisted of the crudo, grapefruit, and cilantro. Perfect combo. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, one of the perks of most ingredients being sourced from local farms.
The foie gras was served with a lemon cherry jam, cornbread, and prosciutto. The lemon cherry jam was sweeter than I expected, and less tart/acidic. It would be a great accompaniment to a charcuterie board. I really enjoyed the prosciutto and foie gras combo. The prosciutto added even more to the savory aspect of the dish and complimented the foie nicely, not too overpowering. Good, but not our favorite interpretation of foie.
For our entree, we split the grass fed New York strip. Cooked perfectly. Cooked with the perfect amount of butter and seasoning. In each bite you a blast of flavor. Very tasty. We had our steak with the brussel sprouts. I was weary of ordering a side here because last time we had, the sides were HUGE. And I mean gigantic. This time around they seemed like they had shrank, which I am not complaining about. Highly recommend.
I was hesitant about getting dessert because I felt good, not too full or gross, but I couldn't stop thinking about the date cake I had seen on the dessert menu, so we went for it. Great choice. One, you can't even taste the dates, so don't let that stop you from ordering it. Two, it was the perfect size, not obscenely large. And three, it was so incredibly moist and delicious. The toffee sauce was a really nice touch. Again, highly recommend.
Only complaint? The apathetic food server who literally looked like he hated his job and didn't want to be there. Girl, bye!
