   Breakfast did not meet our expectations. French fries with our breakfast meal was a bit disappointing. $13.50 for french fries, a piece of bacon and some eggs.

   Sitting in the restaurant was like being in the move “Valentine's Day”. Cute! The service was okay, pleasant but pushing guests through the process to quickly. The food was the most disappointed part. The calamari was over cooked with a burnt oil taste and had way to many Red Pepper flakes making it un-edible. They ran out of LOVE APPLE BISQUE and substituted a butternut bisque with the same basil mousse on top. The basil did not go well with butternut! The sirloin steak (ordered rare to medium-rare) was cooked medium, and way over seasoned. You couldn’t taste the flavor of the meat at all. I really wonder if it was just because it was Valentine's day and they were under to much pressure. I'm still unsure if I would be willing to try it again on a normal day.

   Farm Restaurant booked more customers than they were able to serve well. Hot dishes were not properly hot.

   Farm Bloomington has intriguing decor, great servers, and somewhat variable food. A chicken entree I'd had and very much liked before was a little overcooked this time, and my husband's filet mignon wasn't really well done as he requested (and as the toothpick-label declared). (It was, however, tasty for someone who prefers medium.) The amuse-bouche was very nice, and the chocolale mousse was superb. As the place filled up, it got noisy enough that we had some trouble hearing each other.

   Very good service and good food. Unlike other areas of the restaurant, though, the back room could use sound dampening. Very loud and tight between tables.

   We love to eat here. It’s the first time we had bad service. Our drinks remained empty. She never checked in on us. Very disappointed. Thank God she wasn’t cooking because the food was delicious!

    Overall it was a good experience, but a common them I’ve experienced for probably 20 years occurred which makes me hesitant to return. I asked what salad options I had and there was 1 on menu and a smaller salad not listed on menu- server told me what all was on it and asked if I wanted to add cheese. It came out with a large chunk of Chicken which I do not eat. I don’t know why restaurants struggle with salads so much. Server said it was supposed to have gone to another table. Really set the tone. Bloomington has many vegetarians.
