the farm house

dinner with family. we went to the farm house a few weeks ago while we were visiting from chattanooga, food was excellent, waiter could not
have been better, we had lamp chop, trout, port chop, just about everything on themenuand loved every bite.

thanks 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 for dinner on wednesday night and again for lunch on thursday. during our dinner wednesday 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.
themenuchanges 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!

great food and wonderful cocktail menu. nice atmosphere. themenuis creative and reminds me of some places back home (charleston). menuchanges seasonally.  i look forward to returning!

before the snow storm, i managed to visit one local restaurant, the farm house. since the dinner was organized by the conference i attended i had to check themenuahead 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. and dinner selections. according to the waiter themenuchanges 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 to the farmhouse for the first time for sunday brunch. themenuis limited but i love and understand the farm to table concept so that was all good. our table had the farmhouse breakfast, pancakes, oj and coffee. we were seated for 5 or 6 minutes before anyone greeted us. however our server was quite friendly and explained that he had been attempting to fix the coffee machine which was broken. no coffee for brunch. the food was good, the grits excellent. the service on the other hand was terrible. it seemed as though the entire restaurant was severely understaffed. we had to ask for basic items more than once and often more than 2 and 3 times. we ran out of all drinks more than once. while we were seated at our table, two different tables got up and left because they had waited too long with no one coming to the table. the restaurant was not busy- 2 larger tables and a handful - 4 or 5 other tables of two people. our server was very pleasant but paying $14 for two eggs, ham, a biscuit and grits i expect better service.

bad service, terrible manager, good food.. the food was well prepared and seasoned to perfection. the bbq biscuits were delicious and everyone in our group raved about the food. what's unfortunate is the service left much to be desired. the server was friendly but very aloof and uneducated as tomenuspecifics. our orders were brought out wrong on three occasions. the server never apologized and we contacted the manager. the manager was rude, refused to correct the issues, and seemed to care less. i have received better service than this at fast food chains. this place had potential but needs to come under new management for it to actually florish. i will never go back which is a shame as i really wanted to like the farm house.
