I’ve only been to this restaurant once a year ago and found their charcuterie plate absolutely ridiculous. I was given one slice of cheese, one scoop of a jam and 2 crackers for like $15-$20. However, the mains that we ordered were delicious. Small portions but the price point was reasonable for what we got. I liked the overall local, casual, farm to table feel and the flavourful food for each simple dish. However, I had taken my mom that day and she felt at the time that there wasn’t much service.
The Farmer’s Apprentice comes highly recommended, so of course we had to try. Their prix fixe menus change seasonally, and are divided into Omnivore and Herbivore. Our group of three all chose the Omnivore set menu.Service was excellent — the server and kitchen were wonderfully accommodating when notified of dietary restrictions, and reworked some of the courses completely instead of simply excluding the ingredients. Servers were also pretty knowledgeable about the dishes (which was helpful in many cases). Portions were small, which was expected of a tasting menu, but the entire meal ended up being pretty filling. Everything was fresh and prepared well, but opinions on the courses varied within our group. Overall a satisfying experience, but we probably wouldn’t recommend this to everyone.
Overall a disappointing experience. We went there for brunch and ordered the beef tongue hash and brioche. The beef tongue was nicely done but overall the dish was flavorless and unsatisfying. The brioche was quite well done, great flavour to mouth and nice texture with really wonderful subtle flavours. However portions were so small I was hungry within an hour.
A charming small restaurant on 8th and Granville. Serves up Pacific Northwest flare with simplistic playing. Seasonal menu is offered to bring customers the freshest ingredients to the table. Food are light in both flavors and portions alike, its almost like having a nice big appetizer.
My friends and I ordered three different dishes yesterday. I tried the pulled pork with buttermilk biscuits and fried egg and my two friends tried salads. All of the food tastes good and fresh. Knowing that the food was organic. I did not feel special about eating the food though. For my dish, it surprised me that their pulled pork was not too salty. Buttermilk biscuits were great. My friends were late, so I had to wait for them sitting at the restaurant by myself. A staff asked if I would like to drink something else until my friends arrived. I ordered a cup of coffee. The coffee was Elysian. It was alright. The kitchen was open and clean that customers could see everything inside. Many chefs and helpers as well as waitresses were working together.
