    The menu for dinner.  All of it was served.
    Butch G.

    Let me start out by saying Yelp reviews are what led me to Farm. I was in town for the afternoon to check out Bluffton. What a quaint and charming town! Before leaving town, we decided to have dinner, and that is where Farm comes in. We decided to go with the recommendation of the staff up front and the waiter, choosing the Anthology menu for dinner. That selection was impossible to be disappointed with. The food is sourced locally, the taste is exceptional, and the service (shout-out to Justin) is outstanding. We just planned a return visit to Bluffton for May. This is what a low-country dining experience should be.

    We were seated quickly and found all the employees so welcoming! This restaurant does Farm to Table right using local and regional produce, products and spirits, too. Everything was DELISH! We were in the mood for oysters and their starter of Roasted May River Oysters with breadcrumbs, country ham, sherry, butter and garlic- fantastic! The Oysters on the Half shell were also yummy and in season! We look forward to their oysters sooner than later!

    Dinner was amazing. We had the oysters, steak, and the cornbread. Great atmosphere staff super friendly and helpful. We had a very fun night.

    Living in New York City I have high standards for restaurants. FAFM is probably the restaurant in Bluffton/Hilton Head that best meets those standards, My father's birthday is a week before Thanksgiving usually. He's impossible to shop for (oh another golf gadget? Boring.), but he does love a good meal. Looking around FARM's tasting menu looked appealing, so I reserved it for my parents and me. FARM is inside of a charming building downtown, with an open kitchen downstairs and a few tables (including a shared "community table"), and an upstairs (I've not been). We were seated fairly quickly and the waitress came over and excitedly explained the menu. We opted to start with cocktails and then get into the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The cocktails were excellent, with my Ode to Cornbread being quite interesting. It felt a bit like an old fashioned but with licor de elote and mole bitters. No sooner had we finished our cocktails had the sommelier (level 2)/GM come over to serve our first glass of wine. I won't go into detail on the wine pairings, but each was well thought out and beautifully enhanced the food. The first course was a winter green salad and beef tartare. The salad was wonderful, with the crisp ham being a lovely contrast with the rest of the salad. The beef tartare was mixed with giardiniera and served with potato chips, which was a fun twist on the tartare. Second course roasted brassicas (broccoli) with miso ranch alongside the wood oven clams. The broccoli has a nice bite from chili peppers, and the miso ranch was a showstopper. My mom had long taught me it's rude to lick plates, I was worried I'd have to remind her. The clams were lovely as well, especially if you get some of the roast pork with it. The third course is when you select your protein, a departure from when we had done the tasting last year. Each protein was tasty, though potentially bigger portions than you'd even want at this point in the meal. The roasted cabbage and mashed rutabaga was a nice side to break up the heavy proteins. Dessert, served with sparkling wine, was a chocolate flourless torte and a s'mores cake. Both were a fantastic end to a lovely meal. Overall, FARM might be the very fine dining on and off Hilton Head Island. The meal was so good my dad is scared to go back in case it isn't as good the second time. Highly recommend if you are looking for something that could compete in Atlanta or New York City.

    Finally tried Farm tonight. I have heard a lot of people talk about how wonderful the food is, and I was so looking forward to trying it, but hubs and I both came away disappointed. Overall, our food was fair or good, but not great. Our server was helpful & attentive, but not overwhelming. She was good about making sure our waters were refilled when needed. The only thing that she could have done better would be to explain some of the dishes, since the explanations on the menu were lacking. I am sure that if we had asked her specific questions, she would have been able to answer them, but we just didn't think to ask more questions about ingredients/food prep before ordering. For starters, we considered doing the steakhouse tasting menu, but decided just to order a la carte instead. I really liked the concept of the tasting menu, but many of the menu items just weren't things my hubby or I liked or wanted. Unfortunately, the menu for a la carte is pretty limited. Hubby wasn't thrilled with the entree choices, so he decided just to order an appetizer (ham & burrata with melon) and a small plate (shrimp & rice). The quality of the ham looked to be top notch. The cheese was seasoned with fennel, basil, aged balsamic vinegar, and benne seeds and sat on a bed of thinly sliced cantaloupe. It was served with delicious thick, rustic house-made sourdough garlic bread. He said the ham & burrata & melon was one of the best appetizers he's ever had. Unfortunately, though he did not like the shrimp rice at all. For starters, the shrimp was ground up and mixed into the rice. The description on the menu failed to mention this. The rice had berbere spice, red pepper paste, peanut and benne. He did not like the flavor of the seasoning. He barely ate half of it, which is not typical for him. I am much a more adventurous eater than he is and even I didn't totally love the flavor profile of this dish. Neither of us would order this again. We decided to share an order of the brown butter cornbread. This may be the best cornbread either one of us has ever eaten. The cornbread was perfectly cooked and had a nice crisp top, with the bottom soaking in the cane syrup and sea salt. So, so good! I decided to try the redfish entree, which was served with rice and tomato/okra kimchi. I am not a fan of kimchi or pickled anything, and don't like raw red onion so I didn't really eat any of the veggies, just the rice and fish. The fish was not overdone, but did not have much flavor on its own. My guess is that they expected the kimchi to do the heavy lifting with regards to flavoring the fish. The Carolina Gold Rice did not taste like it had any seasoning; it was very bland. Overall, it was an underwhelming dish, and I would not order it again. Since I didn't think I would like the veggies served with my entree, I ordered a side of succotash. The corn was freshly cut off the cob and was sort of creamed, there were not a lot of butter beans, and I don't know what the heck the "Umami Sparkle" was, but I did not care for it. I would not order this side dish again. We decided to split a dessert and chose the coca cola chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. The texture of the cake was very dense and the texture of the icing was very light. Overall, it was a nice balance and tasted good but was so rich. Definitely glad I split this with hubby, because otherwise, it would have been too much.

    We did the tasting menu with wine pairings for our anniversary dinner and it was excellent. We were initially seated upstairs but there were two large tables up there who were literally screaming over each other and we've never been in such a loud dining environment. Fortunately, they re-seated us outside downstairs and we noted another couple seated upstairs after us were also accommodated downstairs. They offered complimentary bubbles to toast our anniversary, which was nice. The tasting menu was four courses, 3 items for the first course and two for each of the others, a LOT of food. Didn't care for the crudo, but other than that, everything was delicious. Andrew explained each wine pairings and they were all lovely. It was a long, leisurely dinner and I wouldn't recommend doing the tasting menu if you're in a hurry. We were there over two hours. But enjoyed it immensely.

    I had the privilege of dining here again and WOW - this restaurant is even more wonderful than I remembered. They get the service, food and atmosphere right every time! Today we had the Steakhouse tasting menu with four courses. Each was wonderful! The portions are so generous and I love that the staff know how to tell the whole story of each dish. This was such a special experience and I only wish I lived closer.

    The steakhouse tasting menu offered mostly exceptional food, but the pricing was confusing and not at all reflective of the portions. At nearly $90 per person, it's simply not worth it--especially when ordering à la carte provides better value. See bottom for an abridged version of why the rating. --Ordering Confusion & Pricing Frustration The experience started on a frustrating note due to unclear pricing on the tasting menu. The ribeye option reads: "$125 for two $85 each". We (my wife and I) interpreted that as $125 total for a shared 16oz Delmonico steak. I thought we confirmed that, but it turns out it's $85 each--to share the same 16oz steak. At $125 total, it would've been worth it. At $170? Not even close. By the time we realized this, it was too late. We even confirmed this with a second server nearby. The table behind us was also confused. It's clearly an ongoing issue--not clear on the menu, and not well-explained by staff. We pivoted at the last moment before the first course and changed our protein selections. If we're paying nearly $90 each, we wanted some variety. We chose the pork chop and hanger steak instead of the shared ribeye. --Course-by-Course Breakdown (2 people - $85 & $80 tasting menus) Course 1: Spring Pea Panzanella One for each of us. A crisp lettuce leaf filled with soaked croutons, pickled onion, strawberries, green goddess dressing, and pecorino Romano. Very fresh, great balance of acidity and creaminess. Steak Tartare Served atop a delicately layered, fried pomme paillasson (potato cake). One each. Very tender steak, excellent seasoning. The potato cake was crisp, airy, and seasoned perfectly. Course 2: Wood Oven-Roasted Oysters (4 total) Similar to oysters Rockefeller, but lighter and fresher. Two per person. Tasty, but literally one bite each. Arancini (2 total) Fried rice balls stuffed with arborio rice, sweet corn, saffron, bell pepper, and cheese. Wonderfully textured and seasoned. Saffron is unusual in arancini, but I enjoyed it. The marinara was also excellent. Course 3: Main Dishes Hanger Steak ($85) Cooked perfectly, well-seasoned, and very beef-forward. Deep red interior, served with a delicious au poivre (black pepper cream) sauce. Knife struggled to cut it, oddly. Heritage Brown Sugar-Brined Pork Chop ($80) Easily the best pork chop I've had. Medium temp, beautifully rendered fat, excellent crust. Deep flavor that made for a memorable main course. Sides Asparagus spears: About 10 thin spears with chimichurri--solid, but the least flavorful element. Crispy potatoes: Four fried wedges, served with shallot crema and dill. Very crispy and tasty, but dry on their own. The crema was necessary. Course 4: Dessert Cornmeal Skillet Cake Disappointing. Dry and underwhelming. The diplomat cream and strawberries were tasty, but the base cake wasn't strong enough to carry them. Chocolate Pot de Crème Fantastic. Rich, salted with flaky sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil--like a cross between mousse and flourless cake. While most of the food was excellent, the tasting menu is aggressively overpriced and poorly communicated. The portions don't justify the cost, and you're likely better off ordering à la carte. With clearer pricing and slightly larger portions, this could be a standout experience--but as it stands, it's hard to recommend. We wouldn't have done it but before we got a clear explanation of how it worked, it was too late and are now out $200+ with tip.. For the price, portions of everything should have been doubled except for the protein.

    Hey yall, the decor and atmosphere were great. Everything was nice and clean. I was there for a Sunday brunch and order the short ribs, bacon no sugar, and the red peas. The short rib and grits and the red peas tasted as if someone over salted them. I had the grits to help with the short rib saltiness, but brought the grits home to add some rice. I would visit again. 01/26/2025

    Do they require a reservation to dine here?

    Yes they do.

    I'm going to make a reservation but what is the difference from sitting upstairs or downstairs?

    When we went there, we sat upstairs. I liked it because it was less noisy and we could have great conversations. Beautiful decor both upstairs and downstairs, but I thought the downstairs was noisy.

    I've been spending my summers in Bluffton for 65 years, and I can honestly say this was one of the…read morebest dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hostess graciously worked us in, even though they were not expecting us. When I asked if we could move outside because we had an infant with us and didn't want to disturb other diners, the manager couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. He moved our table without hesitation and made us feel like it was a pleasure--not an inconvenience. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely exceptional. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already wonderful meal. By the time we left, we felt like family. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the baked ricotta appetizer deserves a special mention--I would come back just for that! Thank you to Andreas and the entire team at Joelle for your outstanding hospitality! Experiences like this are rare, and you have earned customers for life.

    Came here for date night. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived but we didn't mind waiting…read moreand it only took about 5 minutes. We reserved a table inside but it was very noisy so we asked our server if we could move outside instead. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. For an appetizer we got the burrata - nothing special but good. I wish there had been a couple more pieces of bread with it. For my main I got the orecchiette tre porcellini and was warned beforehand that it had a slight spice to it. It definitely did have a little kick but nothing I couldn't handle. Very tasty. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great. I enjoyed my first time here and would definitely consider coming back. Someone near us got a pizza that looked amazing so I'd like to try one of those next. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 doesn't even have anything to do with the restaurant itself. Once before entering the building and multiple times while we were inside, we received stares from numerous different customers. They were all admittedly uppity-looking. It felt like we had eyes on us the whole time. One woman even did a full 180 turn at the bar to glance at us (I could see the bar area from outside when the sun started going down). I'm not sure if this restaurant is frequented more by locals who aren't used to seeing outside people; I live an hour outside Bluffton. But that just kind of dampened the entire experience and made it a bit uncomfortable. We weren't doing or wearing anything to draw attention. And that may very well have been a one-off situation but still something to note.

I had the fried scallops with green beans and grits, and my meal was good as well. I also had a bar drink that was really good. There were a few service issues. We had to ask for silverware, and my side substitutions were rung up incorrectly. I also received fries even though I had substituted them, and I didn't receive the hush puppies that were supposed to come with the meal. I ordered a second bar drink that never came, so I eventually asked for it to be removed from the bill. Our waiter was young and overall did a good job, but I think he could benefit from a little more training and attention to detail when taking orders. Overall, the food was good and we enjoyed our dinner. I would recommend giving Ma Daisy's a try, but definitely check your bill and make sure your substitutions are entered correctly. There's room for improvement with the service, but the food was worth the visit!
