the farm house

holy deliciousness batman!!. my coworkers and i came in to have lunch this past tuesday while we were in town for business from tampa, florida. the food was so good we came back fordinneron wednesday night and again for lunch on thursday. during ourdinnerwednesday we had the charcuterie tray with the bacon compote. it was so good that i asked and begged for the chef to sell me a deli portion to bring back home. the chef was kind enough to acquiesce and i was able to share it with my coworkers today in the office.

the food is fresh.
the menu changes daily or weekly.

try the pork belly cheesesteak or the burger with corn meal bacon or the mac and cheese or the charcuterie tray mentioned above with the bacon compote and ham style duck meat or the smokey chicken wings. be sure to get some onion rings too.

the place is great!

are there fordinnerand was really yummy. the pork belly was awesome. the ribeye was seasoned well and delicious. they bring the cornbread in a cute little skillet which of course was good. the duck was good as well. no complaints. so good.

before the snow storm, i managed to visit one local restaurant, the farm house. since thedinnerwas organized by the conference i attended i had to check the menu ahead of time to see if it was blog worthy. from the website i learned that farm house is a farm to table restaurant that includes unique spins on local fare. i was all for it! my group arrived early and sat at the bar until the rest of our group arrived. while waiting i sipped on a nashville 75, their spin on a french 75. i felt right at home with their legal folder drink menu! as far as the food… i was like ohh wow with some of thhe dishes. cow tongue? and a million things i had never heard of! we were brave and ordered the charcuterie board which included things like sock sausage, pickled fennel and rabbit liver pate. i probably have all this spelled wrong, but the names of the items were crazy. despite my initial misgivings, everything was really good especially the pate!! great choice for an appetizer with drinks.

all i can say is wow!

one really interesting menu! downtown in an alley way but well worth the trip.
appetizers. small plates. anddinnerselections. according to the waiter the menu changes a bit depending upon season and availability.

pig ears app....sliced into thin strips and fried. covered in some type of a sweet sauce and a splatter of hotter paste on the side of the bowl. all at the table were so surprised and loved this. try it!

cow tongue....who would have thought. id love to describe what this tasted like but cant really tell you that its like anything ive ever had before. get over any presumptions and give this a try. served over a cheese grits with a egg on top.

pork belly poptart.... pork belly in a pastry shell. covered by another sweet sauce with walnuts mixed into it. ate every bite!

pork chop was also very good according to my dining partner.

go here if your looking for a unusual place. loved it.

went there for brunch and really enjoyed it! got the corn beef hash for appetizer, very yummy. our waiter did a nice job. the entrees were good, i was pretty satisfied with this place. i would definitely like to go back fordinnerto see what theirdinnerofferings are like! they emphasize creating all components of their dishes in house which is cool. the construction in front of them near the hall of fame kinda messes with the ambience unfortunately, but nothing they can help. complimentary valet service too!
