"My wife and I went to the Farmhouse Tavern for our anniversary dinner.\n\nFriends have talked it up so we went with high expectations.\n\nLet me first set the evening, I made reservations at 6:45 on a Thursday and we arrived on time. It was a beautiful evening so we decided to sit on the patio. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived, but a few couples arrived shortly after we were seated.\n\nWhile I prefer casual dining, the ambience was a little too casual for my tastes. The patio tables were made out of patio/walkway slabs, just a little too high to be comfortable. Also, the base of the table was made from old tractor parts (again, not overly comfortable, not enough space for a couple to rest their feet.)\n\nWe ordered an appetizer for sharing, and 2 mains and no dessert (I had arranged for dessert elsewhere) and some wine.\n\nThe heirloom tomato tart was very good. \n\nFor the main course I ordered the burger and my wife ordered a ravioli and both were good. There seemed to be a long time lag between courses, though we were not in a hurry. (Some diners arrived after us and departed before)\n \nOne of the unfortunate consequences of eating on the patio, you are at the mercy of the traffic, and for some reason a street washing truck decided to wash the street during our meal. It was very noisy and distracting.\n\nOur server was very attentive.\n\nThe bottom line - food was good (but with the hype from friends, I had great expectations and I don't think the food lived up to our expectations). The pasta was the best of the 3 dishes we tried. \n\nThe service was good. \n\nI would go back, but I am not in a specific rush."^^ . "0"^^ . . . "2015-08-19T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ .
