Everything about the experience was fantastic. The food was beyond what I was expecting. I think this may be the best restaurant in town. I will be back.

Our first experience at Farm & Table was excellent. We appreciated the menu choices while not being overwhelmed by too many options. Our server wqs very friendly, with her recommendations perfect for us as first timers. The long stem rose for the ladies for Valentines Day was a great touch. We will definitely be back.
