I ate here with my boyfriend on a Saturday night few weeks ago. It was empty at the time and we chose to sit outside. The decor is cool and the patio was nice. I have eaten at the farmhouse a few times and was excited to try the new place.
In brief -
Food: I had veggie dishes (tomato and cheese salad and ravioli) and my boyfriend (being a seafood fan from gaspee) had oysters and the octopus. My food was great (really no complaints) however my boyfriend was a little disappointed with his dishes. He said they were both good, just not great. Desert was lacklustre - had the chocolate ice cream sandwich. Was really just ok - it tasted really bland somehow.
Service:
This is where the place lost points. I don't consider myself a picky patron, but when it's Saturday night and there is only one other couple eating at the resto, you kind of expect the basics to go smoothly. We ordered our mains and apps at the same time. 15 minutes later our waitress came by to ask of we had decided on food. We said we had already orderd and after a few awkward minutes she came back and said that she had not forgotten after all and had placed our orders. Not the end of the world, by any means, I mean people forget things, but kind of surprising. It was obvious that she had forgotten when the other couple that arrived after us were served before us, even when they ordered the same dishes (oysters). When our food arrived we didn't get the same schpeal she had given the other couple about the sauces with the oysters etc. just plunked them down in front of us. Maybe she thought we heard them the first time? Last, it took forever for us to get our bill because she was speaking to possibly the chef (someone from the kitchen) for 45mins with her back to us. The person seemed upset so she seemed really engaged and couldn't see our pleading looks. I get it, we were the only ones left in the resto but a glance back would have been nice. We are from Montreal and not shy about signalling for the cheque!
All and all I felt like the staff were very nice but seemed a bit juvenile somehow (I'm 28 so it's not like I'm expecting some high brow affair). The food was good and I would likely only go back on Sunday nights when things are bargain prices
