In late November we met an old friend for dinner at the Farmhouse Cafe on Adams Ave. ( http://www.farmhousecafesd.com/ ).
It is a small place, and gets very crowded, but we had a nice table, and didn't feel too squished in, though I could see how other tables might feel that way.
Farmhouse Cafe offers country French cuisine, and uses as much sustainable, local, seasonal and organically grown food as possible.
We started off splitting some of the soup du jour, which was a potato and leek soup. It was very tasty, with a little bacon in it, and nice bits of potato and leek.
We went from there to our main courses, which we all tasted. We ordered the Grilled Flatiron Steak...a pasta dish with boneless short ribs, and a special of the day, a grilled fish. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out as excellent, and we all agreed, most everything was too generously salted, except for the fish. In fact, that was our biggest problem with the meal...just too much salt did not let the dishes natural flavors really blend.
We did split a dessert three ways, and it was excellent, and Almond Panna Cotta that was amazing...subtle, smooth and delicious. With just the right amount of sweetness, it was creamy and really nice.
I would be willing to give Farmhouse Cafe another shot...I think it is good, with the potential to be excellent. And maybe we caught them on an off night. But, unless we get less salted food on another visit, we would not go back again.
