Okay, I was pleasantly surprised Farmhouse Kitchen delivered 5 stars for the food, service and…read moreambience! My friends have been wanting to come here after seeing it on the socials, so I figured it would be more about the photo ops and less quality dishes. Glad I was wrong!
I mean, we were obsessed with all the floral decor, pastel and animal print plates, green outdoor patio and the pretty presentations of the cocktails.
I loved the Make a Wish drink, which was served in a an ornate genie lamp, cute glass in a gold saucer and topped with a bite of key lime pie. The cocktail is an herbal concoction of Kumiho Gin, juniper berry, blueberry, butterfly pea flower, hibiscus, Austrian elderflower, Lo-fi gentian, and grapefruit. It is soju-based so it's not that strong, but I could taste each ingredient with every sip.
My friends and I shared:
Farmhouse Wings ($21.95) for 3 Crispy organic whole wings served with basil and chili plum sauce. The wings were big, juicy and had a nicely, seasoned crispy skin. Not sure it's worth the price point though.
Volcano Cup ($39.95) Noodle stir fried with our house God-mother sauce braised short ribs, peppercorn, bell peppers, white onions,
Thai eggplant, and crispy basil. Okay, I thought this was going to be some gimmicky, mediocre dish, but it was actually fire! There were lots of fresh vegetables, the short rib fell off the bone, and it packed a good heat I absolutely loved.
Live Lobster Pad Thai (58.95) The Maine Lobster was on the small side with tiger prawns, thin rice noodles, bean sprouts, chive, peanuts, cage free eggs, and Thai seafood sauce, white onion and crispy shallots. Considering how pricey the other dishes are, this seemed reasonable for a lobster dish.
Oxtail Curry (46.95) Real Collagen BOMB! Braised oxtail in Panang curry served with turmeric rice, cucumber and yummy cilantro fish sauce. It has an initial sweet taste of coconut milk, but then the heat creeps up but not too strongly. This was even better the next day as leftovers.
The service was excellent too. We were originally going to sit outside in their calm, green patio area but it was a hot day, so they let us sit inside. Our servers took great care of us from beginning to end and gave me a little extra of their yummy cilantro sauce with my take home box. All the drinks and dishes came out fairly quickly as well!
