   I’m so sorry I forgot the name of our darling server today. She’s from Wisconsin. The only thing better than the food was the service. I can’t wait to go back.

   Outstanding service and food! We loved being able to park once in the neighborhood and walk to dinner and then the theater. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. A gem of a place.

   Booked a reservation at 8, they were closing. Told we could order but, they served a salad without dressing before drinks even came out. Canceled the rest of the food/drinks and went somewhere else

   What a lovely date night we had! The setting wasn't overly crowded, as so many restaurants are these days. The food was creative and delicious. And our server, Veronica, was a true delight. Honestly, she took the experience to another level. And not because she did one particular thing...she was just really kind...encouring...and appropriately attentive. We both just really enjoyed her. Now, to the beverages. I had the Old Fashioned. It was really good! Then Veronica recommended a Chablis...oh my. I loved it! Food: - We started with the beer cheese soup. So good! A generous portion that we shared and the flavor was exceptional. - Eric had the pot roast. He commented that "the carrots tasted like they had just been pulled from the ground." That's how fresh they were. - I had the kale salad...really good. Ricotta. Roasted squash. And the most amazing chicken breast, cooked to perfection! - The date cake was outstanding. As was the ice cream on top. Needless to say, we will return!

   Overall, we loved our experience at Farm Bar. It’s a great place to bring people visiting in town. The service is great and they have some of the best cheeses in town.

   Always love dining at Farm Bar. The service is top notch and the food is delicious. The best cheese curds in the city in my opinion.

    The food was overall very good! I got the French toast with apples and the apples were very undercooked and not soft. Good flavor though. We were rushed out of our table, they kept hinting at us to leave starting at 50 minutes in which I feel is very short. Especially with food costs these days, you can’t charge high prices and expect people to leave in less than an hour. They finally asked us to leave at an hour and a half, which was fine. It still felt rushed the whole time and not the best experience. Also, when you pay the preset tips are 25-23-21 percent. There is no option for 20% which is crazy to me since that is the standard. I guess you can manually change it but this is a scam. Won’t be coming back anytime soon based on feeling rushed and pressured to leave a higher tip (which I did end up leaving the 21%.)

    Thank you for the honest feedback, Melissa! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your farm-fresh bites, but disappointed to hear you felt rushed during your experience. We will pass your notes regarding the apples, service, and tip options back to our team and adjust where necessary. We would never want you to feel rushed as well as pressured into given a specific tip following your meal. Thank you, truly, for bringing this to our attention so we can avoid further frustrations with other diners. We hope you will give us another chance and stop by Farm Bar again soon. Cheers, Your Friends at Farmheads
