Crispy chicken very good; Wine selection fine though too expensive. Waitress we had was excellent. Not desperately keen on the somewhat unkempt male servers; one baring tattoo arms--we don't need to see that. A proper sleeved shirt is required. Otherwise, a nice place with very decent decorations. Easy parking.

Farmstead Table should be everyone's "go to" restaurant when you need a special yet unpretentious restaurant. The staff are friendly (but not seeking to be your new best friend) and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is low key, nicely decorated, and NO TV! The food is very creative and extremely delicious, and with offerings that you would not find elsewhere. Farmstead Table is a favorite for brunch or lunch. I have not yet enjoyed its dinner menu but have no doubt that it's equal to the task if not better.
