So beautiful! Let me start with the interior of this restaurant is so magnificently gorgeous, even if the food was sub par I'd go back. But it wasn't! The food was outstanding! I admittedly ordered what could have been a boring chicken dish but the chicken was so tender and juicy, and the braised cabbage it was served with was some of the best I've had. The staff was so friendly and on point. I tend to leave reviews especially when I am awed by staff- as an employer I know if your staff is great they are usually working in a good environment! We loved how cozy it was, the Christmas decorations... we didn't get to explore the rest of the place but we will absolutely be back! read more

The waitress was prompt about taking our order, and quickly brought our drinks. I ordered the lamb & pork meatball appetizer, and the Black Garlic Rubbed Steak (or something like that). She ordered the shrimp. I was quite specific when I ordered my steak "MEDIUM". If there's one thing you can do to ruin my appetite, it's screw up my steak. Well, hats off to you, Mr. Farm Table Chef. Because you went above and beyond! Not only did you manage to send me a RARE steak, but in addition, you served it COLD! The meatballs arrived first. I was a bit shocked when I took the first bite. It was not only bland, but it seemed cool. A second bite confirmed that it wasn't just cool, but actually refrigerated and cold! I thought, "Hmmmmm......perhaps I'm just an uncultured hick, and cold meatballs is some European thing". So I ate most of it. I was starving, having not eaten a thing since breakfast time. Next came the steak. I put my fork into it and noticed that it was pre sliced. Note to Chef: The only one who should be cutting into my steak, is ME! Don't do this.....ever! I then took a bite. I immediately noted that it too was cold. Not cold like the meatballs, but room temperature cold. It also tasted a bit off. After a few bites, I realized that it wasn't medium, as I requested, but BLOODY RARE! Now, a bit of background is needed here.....I actually enjoy the flavor of roast beef, but I can't eat it. I can't eat it because the rare meat causes me to have a gag reaction. I will literally puke from rare meat. However, I was 3/4 done with it, and still very hungry. I also dislike sending food back, for fear that it will piss off the chef, and result in something worse being sent back with my food. So, like a dumbass, I ate the damn steak. I immediately felt my stomach beginning to churn. I knew I was in trouble, so I asked for the check, and left without even finishing my drink. Here's where things get bad. Very bad. As we began the 40 minute ride home, I started to feel sick. I immediately realized that the food was not just poor quality, but I may actually be getting sick! As I drove, my stomach began to hurt. I felt nauseous. Then, as we drove along, suddenly I felt it. Out of nowhere......I was in the midst of a "CODE BROWN"!!!!! I began to panic. I had a lady in the car with me! My stomach was boiling! I raised my ass off the seat, and began to drive like a maniac, praying that I would make it home before disaster struck! The hair stood up on my arms and the back of my neck. Cold sweat began to form on my forehead. Oh God! I'm not going to make it! I began running through a mental map of the ride home. Was there anyplace open at 8 PM that had a public restroom? Could I make it there? Before I could think it through, I began to lose control. My sphincter, puckered tightly up to this point, began to contract wildly. I was in trouble. Big trouble. I hastily pulled off of the road at the opening of a walking trail in the woods! I nearly ripped my car exhaust off in my haste to get off the road! I began to furiously pull my shirt off, so that I could sacrifice my undershirt, as there wasn't a sheet of paper anywhere in the vehicle! My lady was asking "Oh my God, what's wrong! Are you okay?!" I had no time to explain! I bolted from the car, like one of those punks you see on the show "COPS". I ran like a crazed animal, into the woods. Shirtless, my favorite black tank top clutched tightly in my hand, prepared to sacrifice itself at the end of all of this. I furiously tore my trousers off! Sweating, shaking, and feeling nauseous......"Why the fuck did I wear a belt!!!???" Good lord! As I began to squat on the edge of the trail, pants still only half down, my intestines exploded with anger and fury! I must have covered a half acre of forest in shit! I was feeling sick, and I was in agony. I usually enjoy a good bowel movement, however, this was so painful, that I began to wonder if I was actually being turned inside out. I began to moan in pain as I continued to shit my brains out. It was then that I heard a voice exclaim, "Oh my God!" I looked up, and saw that a young couple, out for a stroll, was just coming around the end in the trail, about 15 feet ahead of me. There was nothing I could do. I covered my face with my hand, and continued shitting as they walked past me, visibly disgusted. I was praying that they would mistakenly think that I was just some homeless bum, crapping in the woods. So, I finished up, and feeling like a complete degenerate, I mopped my ass with my favorite black tank top, and said goodbye, as I tossed it so undeservingly into the brush. I then walked back to the car, where my lady sat.....her face buried in her hands. Humiliated, as the couple that watched me in all of my glory had just walked by her, sitting in the passenger seat. Surely, they figured out our connection. I then drove home, and immediately began this review. read more

Flew in from Chicago to bring my dad out for Father's Day. Was greeted by name from some Of the staff when I walked in (haven't been home in years) we were sat immediately had some great drinks and good food. Only criticism I would have is that it's a great place to unlock the door before actual opening To let people in and maybe grab a drink from Micheal at the bar. read more

Amazing atmosphere and food! Cannot wait to go back! We ordered the cornbread to start - and it could easily feed 4 people even though it is on the small plate menu. I also had the lentil and chickpea stew - and it was out of this world and very filling! read more

we so enjoyed The Farm Table when we visited a few months ago. The cocktails are A++ and the food is tasty. Well worth the drive. Can't wait to drop by again sometime when we are in the area. read more

Came in for lunch today, it was my second time dining here. I went for dinner a couple summer's ago and had the most memorable dining experience sitting outside on the patio while the sun went down ! Liked it so much I got my mom a gift card for Christmas. (Hoping she would take me with her, of course!) We started with a couple fun cocktails. Apple cider margarita and the mezcal mule (which is literally the best mule I've ever had). Got a couple appetizers to share - the fried oysters with a red cabbage slaw (remembered this from the first time I ate here and my memory served me well - they were to die for!) They dissolve in your mouth , so delicious! And the slaw by itself is just as good! The other appetizer we chose were the mussels, because it sounded like such a unique dish! They came in a curry coconut broth with chickpeas, fennel, and roasted corn. That broth was so good you could enjoy it with a spoon...or extra bread (which we did) After that we shared the cheese and charcuterie board, paired with a couple glasses of wine. To top it all off, our service was phenomenal! We like to relax and take our time, enjoy each course... and Rhamsses knew exactly how to take care of us. I'm a server myself and was more than impressed with him! We will be back! Worth every penny, and the trip! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants ! read more

Last week was my second visit to the Farm Table. It was a quiet Sunday night, and the GF and I decided to celebrate her birthday somewhere fancy. When I suggested Bernardston, I thought she was going to balk. But she decided to give it a try, despite the drive. And was she ever glad we went. We started with some great drinks. Strong cocktails, well made. Hers was a star, it was some sort of Bourbon, Prosecco concoction. I had a Blackberry Mule. Both very good. They were featuring fresh Duxbury oysters, so we did half a dozen of those, as well as the fresh ricotta. Excellent apps. We decided we both wanted the hanger steak. The steak was amazing, the sides were very good too. My Favorite was the Chick Pea fries. The flavor, the cook, awesome. My only knock was that they might have been a little saltier than I would have liked. But no worries. Lastly, we had a goat cheese cheesecake. It was excellent. Service was fast, friendly, and professional. Atmosphere is fantastic; quiet, romantic, good jazz playing at low volume. An excellent night. Prices are a little high for western mass, but in line with the quality of the experience. All in all, 5 solid stars! read more

This review is for the Burgers and Brews nights on Monday's. Our party only ordered burgers. Burgers were awesome and had great flavor combos! I would give them a try. We will definitely come back for this deal again. read more

Awesome farm to table food. Great for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. The place is rustic and adorable but the flavors and presentation of the food are elegant. Good pick for larger groups. The chick pea fries were a great texture and the salmon is incredible. Please order the cornbread!!! Our waitress was a sweetheart. I'll be sure to come back next time I'm passing through mass read more

This restaurant not only has great food, but the service really can't be beat! I had a delicious frozen lemonade cocktail, my boyfriend had a local beer, and we ordered the Fig Pig and Pepperoni pizzas. While we waited for our dinner, the waitresses were very attentive and refilled our water and offered to refresh drinks. Our waitress brought us over cornbread, on the house, because our pizza was taking a bit longer than expected. Honestly, we didn't think it had been long at all! It was very sweet. They brought over one of the pizzas as it was ready first, and the second was ready by the time we finished the first. The pizza was very, very good, and they provided freshly grated Parmesan cheese which put it over the top. I finished off the night with tri-colored macarons, a special to celebrate Bastille Day. They were a real treat. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff provides amazing service, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend a visit. I'll definitely be back to experience the outdoor dining option! read more

Such a lovely restaurant! Excellent, friendly and helpful service coupled with flavorful and delicious food and a solid interior ambiance and beautiful outdoor grounds. We came for lunch and it was so good we returned for brunch the following day. What a wonderful find - would recommend highly. Some reviews have mentioned the prices - while it is not cheap, it's also not that pricey (although we're from Boston so maybe it's just what we're used to!) read more

Get place to eat! I always make it a point to stop here on my way back from New York. The bar is especially nice to have a drink while waiting for a table. You can also opt to visit the high end candle shop right across the street (owned by the same people as the restaurant). If you're going to be in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. read more

WOW!!! What an amazing experience. I would like to express my most sincere and greatest appreciation to the management and staff for making our special occasion, one to remember. Curtis(GM), Kelsey (waitstaff) and the crew went above and beyond to insure our restaurant and dining experience were par excellence. The food was prepared to perfection and served with a warm smile and friendly attitude. Congratulations. You have mastered the fine dining experience without the attitude. Can't wait to join you again. Thanks. read more

The Farm Table - New American Near Me - Bernardston, Massachusetts

Where is Bernardston, MA? I am not sure. What is there to do there? Good question. On our way to a WK weekend, we got hungry, and our lives were changed. We stopped in this random town, with basically only a candle company, and don't think we will ever be the same. The Farm Table is everything we ever wanted, dreamed of, imagined. I just didn't know it existed in real life. It's this beautiful old white house, which looks like an inn. It has all these cozy little nooks/gardens when walking around the outside, with a small country store (For Kringle Candles!) . It has a big victorian porch, overlooking a farm. This was all before we even stepped inside. Inside you feel like you are in a glamorous barn, something royalty would be in, with such fine, exquisite taste but not flashy or boasting. Long factory windows, with huge chandeliers, which when looking closer, are all upside down wine glasses. Wooden beams and floors, vintage carpets, quirky and clever signs, beautiful fireplaces and fresh flowers, even in the midst of winter. We kept asking ourselves, WHAT is this place? Is this real life? This was all even before we ate food. We ordered some fun cocktails, tried the bread (yes, obviously it is to die for), and each got our meals. While I forget what others got, I got the fettuccine, someone else got the pizza, and the food was just as good as you imagined. So, to answer my question, what do you go to Bernardston for? This. I would come out of my way, heck, I would make a whole weekend away, to come back and eat here. I wish it really were an inn, as I would want to wake up, go to bed, and daydream all day here. read more

Excellent! I went while traveling nearby based on a yelp search. I was a little worried it would feel touristy because it was associated with the candle store. Not at all! Super refined and lovely. Beautiful inside and out. I sat at the bar ordering from the tavern menu. Food was fantastic- pizza was perfection. Creative and fun cocktail selection too. A place worthy of the most special occasion, and I was lucky enough to chance upon it! read more

Beautiful setting, terrific staff, and fantastic food. We stopped on our way home, north to Vermont from NYC. We shared the charcuterie/cheese plate and an amazing flatbread with butternut squash, apple, and fresh raw spinach. Washed it down with Pied Piper IPA and a Sour Cherry Ale. We will be back!! Highly recommend!! read more

A destination with lots of entertainment! The business is doing it right. They have Kringle Candle, The Farm Table which I continuously enjoy their clever drink and food menu and now they have brought in Hitchcock Brewery which is right on the property making it easy to walk over for a nightcap and catch some great live music and beers. Perfect area to visit for either a date night or evening out with friends. read more

If there were half stars, I'd go with 3.5 but I just can't push myself to a 4. Love the building and the atmosphere. Really special. Love the "fancy" food in a non-pretentious setting. We enjoyed our meal. I had the salmon and hubby had the schnitzel. Both were very yummy. Unfortunately, the service was average at best. It started off pretty well, but then our server picked up a table for 10 next to us and our service went down hill fast. We waited an eternity for our check. I actually went to the bar and had a drink while my husband was still at the table trying to get the check. If you're going to charge these prices and promote yourself as exceptional, things like that just can't happen. That said, overall we liked it, and we will be back for another try. I must add that the house vinaigrette might be the best I've ever had! Really excellent! read more

I'm not from western, ma. I was in town visiting a friend, looking for a nice, pleasant place to eat and catch up with my girl. She'd heard some amazing things about The Farm Table, so I agreed to see what this restaurant was about... I was expecting a lot when walking in; the decor is pleasant, quaint, cutesy, etc. Looked like a "classy" place. All that changed when I actually interacted with the staff. The front of house was pretentious. The servers were unpleasant. The food wasn't worth it. It's novel that all the food is locally grown, yadda yadda. But for the atrocious attitude of the staff and the price, the food doesn't live up at all to those standards. The menu is small and limited; not that impressive. It took forever for the food to come out. We ordered a salad -came out with wilted greens, and it was over dressed. Pizza - the clam pizza was decent and i can't remember what the other was (which should tell you this food is not memorable) but both came out soggy, undercooked with the cheese congealing. Not pleasant to look at or eat. Bottom line, if your selling point is beautiful locally grown food and a nice homey atmosphere, make sure you deliver what you set out to do. The only thing The Farm Table got somewhat right is the decor, and even that isn't all THAT unique. Not only would I not recommend this restaurant, I'd even go so far as to say "It's a waste of time and money. Don't support them! Those local farmers deserve a chef who'll treat their products with respect and love." read more

Opening days are often fraught with little disasters, but from where I was sitting, there were none. My date for this adventure was my father. We entered the foyer of The Farm Table and were immediately welcomed by Ruben. There was bit of a line, but when we moved to the front we were greeted warmly by Shelby. I gave her our name and reservation time and we were seated immediately, just before our reservation time of noon. We were seated in a corner of the lovely colonial dining room, which features a working fireplace, images of old Bernardston on the walls, candles (of course!), and beautifully distressed darkly stained furniture. The mismatched silver pieces and gingham napkins were an excellent touch in keeping with the farm-to-table mentality of this new establishment. Servers are dressed in blue gingham shirts and jeans which gives a country-casual homey feel. There is no pretention here, just comfortable atmosphere, excellent food, and a great deal of warmth, hearth and home. After about three minutes of perusing the menu we were greeted by our server (I would share her name, but she did not give it - she was, however, very attentive throughout our experience), who offered us house-bottled water, both sparking and still, and any additional beverages. I asked for seltzer, which in retrospect was silly - I could have had Farm Table sparkling water instead! My father ordered a Rusty Nail, which is generally his concoction of choice. Our waitress went away to place our drink orders and give us a moment to peruse the menu. After about 4 minutes she returned and asked if she could take our orders as she was waiting on our drinks at the bar. We ordered a charcuterie platter to share. My father ordered scallops and I ordered a delicata squash filled with risotto. Shortly after this our waitress appeared with my Harmony Springs seltzer and an apology - there was no Drambuie available for my father's Rusty Nail. This actually seems to be a recurring theme in Bernardston lately and I am beginning to wonder if there isn't a shortage in the county or something ;) Dad adapted readily and ordered black coffee instead, which was promptly delivered. The charcuterie was very good, plated on a lovely distressed cutting board. Speck, proscuitto and sopresestta were there, along with their friends warm marinated ripe olives, figs, dates, and a dish of whole-grain mustard and four slices of what appeared to be an artisan sourdough type bread. As I can't eat gluten, I didn't indulge in the bread but it appeared to have a nice crisp crust and was riddled with air bubbles. The meats were lovely, particularly the speck (for me) and proscuitto (for dad). Presentation was delightful, and the add-ons of dried fruit and olives made for an excellent starter - one that left us wondering if I would have room for lunch! We found room. My half of a delicata squash, plated simply on a white dinner plate with a side of braised greens, was perfectly roasted and filled with a delicious autumnal risotto. Very flavorful with a hint of white truffle. My greens were perfectly braised, flavorful, and not bitter. The scallops were similarly plated, perched on a bed of something I could not see (and did not taste because I did not know if it was gluten free) with a side of broccolini. The scallops were of reasonable size and prepared perfectly. Scallops are, I think, a huge test of a restaurant's ability to properly prepare tricky things. These were beautiful; tender, cooked through, seared on the outside and melted in my mouth. The broccolini was a tiny bit bitter to my father's taste, but I think he is unused to this particular vegetable and it's nuance. I found it to be very well prepared and delicious. Ruben appeared in the dining room throughout our experience; he is very attentive to diners, often stopping to engage in conversation or impart a bit of knowledge about a particular aspect of the menu, or - on one case - delivering a bit of birthday cheer to a neighboring table. Waitstaff were, from my vantage point, very attentive to customers, there was no feeling of rush or hurry, just comfort and attention to detail. Once empty tables were quickly and efficiently and quietly cleared and re-set for the next service. In all, excellent customer care, delicious food and an attention to detail all wrapped in a homey, classy, casual package make this my new favorite place. read more

We love this place. We have always left happy and completely satisfied with both server and meal.

Fantastic decor, great service, amazing food. The manager was a sweet-heart, came to our table to greet us personally. Went there on a lovely Saturday afternoon, and had a great time. I didn't even had to worry about vegan choices, they had it all. I felt very welcome, very at easy. Extremely energetic and enthusiastic staff. Thank you! Ps: I had the mushroom risotto, it was to die for! and for dessert I had the sorbet trio paired with my tea...wonderful tea and wine selection! read more

Beautiful place, great service but food very disappointing and over priced. Soba salad was mediocre, a lot of vegetables and very few soba noodles. Dessert-blueberry crumble sounded good, was a bowl of hot blueberry soup with ice cream that melted instantly with a few sprinkles of oatmeal on top for $12.00. read more

The farm table is a lovely spot on the grounds where Kringle candle is. We went for lunch on a Saturday and it was not too busy. We did have a reservation just in case. The service was quite good with the server being knowledgeable and friendly. Our lunch included a puréed pea soup which was delicious. Salad with farro and quinoa needed dressing but was still tasty. Salmon was perfectly cooked. The tea choices were a highlight. Definitely worth a trip and I would return again. read more

I booked a reservation at The Farm Table for my wife and I for a valentine's dinner, for 5:30pm by way of Yelp's reservation system. We arrived a few minutes early and were quickly seated, but at a 4 top in their larger dining room. I had also put a note in the reservation that this was our final valentine's day dinner before my wife gives birth to our first child. Through the meal, our waitress tended to check on all of her other tables several times. We were ignored, excepting our initial order, and when food was delivered. Even the restaurant manager was walking around checking in on people but passed right by us. I watched several tables get set up with complimentary champagne (not that my wife was looking for that, as she's not drinking alcohol right now), and told that it was part of their wishing people a happy holiday. Keeping in mind that holidays are busy for restaurants, we were in early for their dinner service. Maybe it was because we are a young couple? The meal itself was OK. I had some very good (albeit overpriced) Wellfleet oysters at $3/pop. We shared a pretzel fondue, and the wife got herself a Ceasar salad, which she said was good. For entrees she had a pizza (those were reasonably priced around $12-14). I got a $31 portion of duck, which was cooked to medium rare, as I'd requested, but came lumped with what looked like risotto mashed with cherries and herbs. It didn't taste bad, but I was not overly impressed on portion size or flavor based on what we paid. The wife ended with a desert special, custard and a chocolate tart that looked like a cupcake for $8. I did myself enjoy a grapefruit IPA which was probably the only thing I was impressed with. In the end we paid about $133, and thankfully had a $65 gift card to offset that. I tipped a standard 20% as i always do, because servers make $2.63/hour in this state, but would have gladly given more if we'd been treated like everyone else was. If you are going to go, you're probably better off sticking with their pizza and sitting at their bar if you're between 20 and 40, unless of course you're well-connected. 2 stars because although it wasn't the worst experience I've had, it certainly didn't meet expectations for a dinner that should have been special. The food was 3 stars at best, and the service a solid 2. Really nice atmosphere and decor, just really fell short with the experience. It is close by so I'm sure we'll be back for a family dinner, but I won't be making my way there on my own after that experience. read more

We had a great meal, the only thing that stunk was the number of giant flies divebombing us the whole time. We started with the cheese and charcuterie plate which was huge and offered a good amount of cheese unlike other plates we've had. My fish tacos were pretty good but I wish I got the burger instead. My husband's skirt steak was delicious, but most of the plate was grilled onions vs steak. read more

I don't know how anyone could ever give this place less than 5 stars. It's as close to perfection as a restaurant can get. First, the restaurant is beautiful. It's rustic charm is so warm and inviting. Our waitress was outstanding from the get go. She was so friendly, but not over the top and fake. Her service was quick and pleasant, thus making the experience even more enjoyable. Then, there's the food. THE. FOOD. Mouthwatering perfection. I had the lobster eggs benedict, and my friend had the croque madame. Both of them were cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and so tasty. The hollandaise was so tasty that I was tempted to lick my plate after taking the last bite of food. Dessert was that "need to close your eyes with each bite" heavenly. I'm counting down the minutes until I return. read more

I returned to Farm Table after a lengthy absence last year. The owner had reached out to me to re-visit based on my non-complimentary previous review (part of a large group during holiday season) and a change in restaurant management. I really, really wanted to write a very positive review - and to quite some degree it is... The restaurant and its small "campus" are impeccably clean. Beautiful buildings all gleaming in the sunlight.. which had me slightly confused as to what door to enter (a pet peeve of mine). The hostess was lukewarm but I must say we were seated in a very comfortable table and chairs in the tavern about a dozen feet off from the bar. Very cozy atmosphere. I was a bit surprised in the limited menu - especially since my companion informed me that the "pizza" (a significant portion of the menu) is actually flatbread and as such quite small in size. Setting aside the "pizzas" left me looking at entrees with mid $30s being median price. Now, I have eaten in posh restaurants (my husband is a foodie) but I was a bit surprised that there was no entrees listed in the low to mid 20s especially for the area where the restaurant is located. I nudged my companion into going a bit rogue - we ordered soup and some appetizers to share. The French Onion Soup was disappointing. Flavor was fine, but soup necessitated taking knives into the bowls to cut the bread - awkward! We expected to have our socks blown off - my companion stated "I've had better at Panera's" - ouch! The pretzel appetizer was a nice size, but expected a little something extra to set it apart from the norm. Pear Pistachio Salad was awesome. The salad was a bit unique and a bit pricey but definitely elevated the fare. Veal Sliders were very juicy. We just wish there was a hint of a seasoning added so I could truly rave. Chocolate Torte was great, just enough chocolate, beautifully delivered. We induged with two Spring Sparkle drinks which were quite lovely. Ended with a couple of hot teas with our Tortes. Total price $100 (pre-tip). With exception of soup (and drinks), all appetizers were shared. We had the perfect amount of food for two women with moderate appetites. I think the food ranges from good to awesome... but these prices in this area would lead one to expect cross the board awesome. I also believe portion size is a bit on small size (esp remember from entrees in previous review). I would definitely rate it more as a 3.6 as it would need a bit more work on menu offerings and food quality to consider me a real fan (as 4.0 star rating suggests). Service was acceptable but not stellar. Atmosphere was gorgeous and really pushed me to be comfortable with 4 star rating. Beautiful restaurant where we were allowed to linger over our meals in comfort. read more

Came to farm table tonight and listened to some wonderful jazz piano. Had great drinks and oysters. And the some wonderful butternut ravioli. Again a wonderful evening. Wow desert was great. I recommend the chocolate cake. It is vegan and amazing. I hear if you ask the manager Curtis he will play you a song on the beautiful grand piano. read more

The Farm Table - New American Near Me - Bernardston, Massachusetts

I've been remiss in posting a review of this place. I've gone a few times now, but I'll use my latest experience as fodder for the post. Every time I've gone here, we've had amazing food, exceptional service and a wonderful time. We went the day after Christmas for dinner this past year and the Chef even came out to chat to us at our table...a little love goes a long way. This past Saturday, I went with my Mom, sister and a friend visiting the area for the first time. Of course, we stopped in a Kringle Candle first and then made our way over for a 5:30 PM reservation (the 6:00 PM time slot fills up FAST because that's the time that Kringle Candle closes, so if you are making reservations, keep that in mind). On this visit, we started with the Crispy Fried Oysters (of which, there were eight) plated atop a cabbage slaw and drizzled with creole mustard remoulade. The perfect bite. Also ordered the summer caprese salad as well. Delicious. Huge helping of burrata cheese. The best, most unexpected part were the bits of fried shallots. Such a good idea. We then ordered three pizzas to share: Proscuitto Peach (fontina, prosciutto, local peaches, honey, goat cheese, endive and balsamic reduction), Rainbow Veggie (basil pesto, mozzarella, beets, red onion, cherry tomato, red and yellow peppers and broccolini), and the Margherita (straight up basic). Check out the pictures. Hands down, the best pizza was the Proscuitto Peach. Goat cheese and peach are meant to be married and have loads of babies. The most beautiful presentation goes to the Rainbow Veggie. Absolutely gorgeous. And beets on pizza? Who would have thought that combo could be so tasty!? The margherita was a basic b!tch and we all loved to pretend to hate her, but really, we can't get enough of her and would order her every time. You know how that goes. Finished up with an array of the desserts (Peach Shortcake, Lemon Verbena Panna Cotta and Chocolate Almond Torte). All the desserts were amazing. The shortcake biscuit...I could eat one of those every day for the rest of my life. Light, fluffy, sweet and salty all at the same time. The only thing that I would mention...we made the reservation through their website (which turns out, they use Yelp SeatMe) and in the notes, it was mentioned that the dinner was a special occasion - my birthday - yep. All about me. My Mom had requested a candle to mark the occasion. Additionally, when we were seated, the waitress asked if we were celebrating anything and my Mom specifically indicated we were celebrating the great day of my birth. But outside of a cursory acknowledgement, there was nothing special (outside of the great food, the great company and the amazing location) done to mark the occasion. Now, I'm perfectly fine with that because I abhor being sung to in public, especially by strangers, but since my Mom had made some specific requests, she was a little disappointed that they were overlooked. That's my one suggestion: make sure that you aren't overlooking requests made with Yelp SeatMe! read more

As someone who is familiar with a restaurant environment I often find myself accidentally critical of my service. Half the time I find that my server can add to my experience and here I was not disappointed. The service was on point. It was personalized and I didn't feel like my server hated their job and wanted to spend as little time talking to us as possible. And they were on top of refills! The menu was simple and accommodating for my group of friends. Some of them are picky eaters so being able to find a restaurant that makes everyone happy is sometimes impossible. Since they had a little bit of everything here everyone was satisfied, which was a big relief. One of my girlfriends who is picky ordered pizza and I'm a big seafood person so naturally ordered the salmon. Both dishes were delicious! Lastly, I go out to eat fairly often and the one thing I am always disappointed by is the cocktail list. For some reason most places think four different martinis on a drink menu is good enough. As someone who is not a martini fan I often feel a little let down. When you go out to eat you want to try something new. When I saw their cocktail list I was impressed. There were tons of options to choose from. I went with an apple margarita, something I've never tried before, and ordered a second it was so good. My friends and I had a great experience and will be coming back again soon! Great service, food, and drinks. read more

Our experience at Farm Table was 5 Star, from the moment we sat down until we left. The cocktails were delicious, some of the best we have ever had. I had a Jasmine infused gin drink, and my friends had a jalapeno whisky drink. Unbelievably good. We split 7 small plates among the three of us, and it was the perfect amount of food. Highlights included the cheddar corn bread with fresh honey butter, the fried clams, the beet salad (dressing was out of this world!) and a special pizza with Duck Bacon (duck bacon?????) Service was impeccable, ambiance was beautiful. We were so impressed that most everything was locally sourced. Truly, one of the best dinners we have had in recent memory. Wish we lived in Western MA so we could make this a regular spot!! read more

Had the Thanksgiving buffet dinner there tonight for the first time. The meal was absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough how delicious every single item was. To start, there were salads and a small raw bar (shrimp & oysters). The orzo salad and the Caesar were fantastic as was the seafood. As someone who isn't the biggest turkey fan, I was thrilled that prime rib was on the menu. It literally melted in my mouth. The sides also exceeded my expectations. It was the right blend of homestyle/traditional dishes and others that were more inspired. Nothing disappointed. I was so full that I wasn't sure I could even eat dessert, but that is the only reason I took off a star. While I liked the idea of small bites for desserts, I would've liked something like an apple pie/bar. Regardless, the desserts I tried were tasty. The service-- from the hostesses to the bartenders, waiters, and meat carvers (is there a better name for them) was perfect. They were so nice and made us feel welcome. Not to mention the ambience. I really hope we can have another Thanksgiving here!! read more

Visited The Farm Table on a Sunday night. Very much enjoyed the ambiance, service and food. The entrees were creative, well prepared and delicious. We will certainly return, hopefully on an evening where more time is available for a drink at the bar. read more

We had the warm cornbread for and appetizer which was very good, moist and not dry like most cornbread. I had the cubano pizza which was excellent. Pizza crust was light with Dijon mustard, chopped pickles, slight amount of marinated red onions, ham and pork chunks, and cheese cooked perfectly.. I am use to the the authentic Cuban sandwich out of Miami, and this was a nice change as a pizza. Just remember this is a farm fresh restaurant, and the prices reflect that. Service was very good and attentive. A must redo.. read more

Had a very nice meal up at the Farm Table this weekend. Pros - attentive and enthusiastic staff, beautiful location, yummy food. Cons - Yelp reservation thing said no tables until 7:45 - call and get a reservation and the place was only half full the whole time we were there (6-7), waiter choose not to write down our order - neat trick except he had to come back twice cause he forgot elements of it, in my humble opinion it's 20% more expensive then it should be. Still a great place to go for a social occasion. read more
