You can expect it, but you be wrong. This frankly is a dreary sports bar with a biker flavor to it. For the atmosphere you dine in the price is should not be this expensive.

i used to love the farm when it was in beverly, i'd always order their buffalo chicken caesar wrap…read moreon a weekly basis. so when i was driving home, and i saw the farm in essex, i wondered if it was the same place. turns out, it is, and it's been here all along, who knew? i stopped in and taylor was friendly at the bar. it's a cozy farm-style bar & restaurant, as the name suggests. i ended up ordering their double double burger because i wanted a bit more protein. the double double burger was good, but i do think the patties may have been frozen because they weren't able to make it medium rare. it came on a big bulkie roll with fresh toppings, and fries were decent, and plentiful, just not cooked crispy as i'd asked for. i'll try them again for the buffalo chicken caesar wrap. ambiance: 4/5 food: 3.8/5 drinks: n/a service: 5/5 the farm bar and grille: 4.2/5

The restaurant is beautiful, you would almost think you were someplace chic in Manhattan,…read moreespecially since most of the guests were from the NYC area. The service was very good. The food was not great and expensive. The pasta dish was bland, and the steak ordered medium rare was burnt outside and raw inside. I don't mind paying a high price, but the value has to be there. I guess I was paying for the ambiance. If you want to dine or have a cocktail in a beautiful setting you should go. If you actually wanted to eat a good meal perhaps you should go elsewhere.

Title: Exquisite and relaxing, a little surprise hidden on Elm Street!…read moreComment: The Birch on Elm is such an unexpected surprise! It looks very low-key from the outside, but once you walk in, you will be attracted by the exquisite and informal atmosphere. Although the menu is concise, each dish is very sincere. We ordered [your dish, such as: Smoked Duck Breast and Gnocchi], the plating is artistic, the taste is rich, and you can taste the care and creativity. Cocktail is also excellent, especially their [your drink, such as: Birch Martini], which is refreshing and slightly sweet, perfect for summer. The service is very good, the waiter is professional and friendly, and he is enthusiastic when introducing the dishes but not selling. The rhythm is just right, and the whole dining experience is very comfortable. In short, it is the kind of small restaurant that you can come again and again, suitable for dates, friends, and also suitable for sitting alone and sipping a glass of wine quietly.

Very basic and not very high quality American food…read more Vibe: Very outdated furnishing, dim lighting. Service: Server was quick, food took a little bit but we were a party of 5. Food: Complimentary cornbread and butter - probably the best part of the meal, very moist and sweet. Bang bang shrimp - tasty, good texture, came with garlicky bread which was soft and tasty. Bourbon beef tacos (2) - very sweet sauce, not the best overall, I chose beets as my side and it was literally cubed beets with no dressing or seasoning or anything. Value: Less expensive than most food these days but definitely low quality to match. Overall was a pretty underwhelming meal in a restaurant with a wholly unappealing vibe.
