   Fern changes the menu often. A few old favorites are gone a few new favorites added. The cheese board used to be great, now it was a few tiny pieces of cheese, hardly shareable. Spaghetti squash and shrimp appetizers were awesome. The snapper with pea risotto was super tasty as was the short rib with Japanese sweet potato mash. Preparations are elegantly plated. Our favorite dessert, the S’mores were no longer offered. Service was well paced. We had very noisy neighbors and it was enjoyable once they left. Owner is accessible and attentive but didn’t apologize for the excessive noisy table.

   I've never had to write a review like this. But the management needs to wake up. We had a 5:15 reservation for four and ordered shortly after being seated. Our wine arrived promptly but the food was not to be seen. At 6:15 we were told that the kitchen was backed up but our appetizers should be arriving soon. (They were cold appetizers: burrata with Wagyu bresaola and a salad of spaghetti squash, lettuce, etc.) But then the manager came over and said that he didn't think they would be able to deliver our entrees (lamb strip loin, Wagyu tartare, and Linguine with braised Wagyu, truffle cream and fresh winter truffles) by 6:45. (We were going to the Palm Beach Opera at the Kravis Center.) We said "fine, do the best you can." One of our party asked if she could have the burrata appetizer instead of the lamb loin she had ordered and the manager said he couldn't promise that, because her order would automatically go to the end of the line. However, he did bring two burrata appetizers and the spaghetti squash salad a few minutes later. And then he announced that he had cancelled all of our dinner entree orders. Needless to say, we were shocked and NOT pleased. Although we had inquired about bread earlier and were told that they didn't serve it and didn't have it to order, they did manage to bring some grilled bread and butter to the table, for which we were grateful. But we all left hungry and disgruntled and disappointed by what held the promise to be a wonderful evening, but fell far short. What is a reasonable amount of time to wait to be served the food you ordered? And how can I review the food we ordered if it was never served to us? The kitchen must be severely understaffed or there is something wrong with their procedure. As for the two appetizers we were served: They were fine, but not extraordinary. Our server was very pleasant, but was put in the unfortunate position of relaying bad news repeatedly. I hope Fern gets their act together soon.

   Amazing farm to table meal. Service and ambiance were perfect. This was one of the best meals I have ever had. I ordered the cobia. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

   The food is delicious and innovative. The environment funky. The staff very nice. The back of the restaurant could use more lighting.

   Food was exceptional. Noise level very loud and service was slow. Would recommend sitting outside next time.

   Excellent service and beautiful presentation! We enjoyed the burrata for our appetizer and devoured the filet, which was cooked to perfection.

    The food was amazing… the squash appetizer and shrimp avocado pineapple appetizer were both amazing. The service was outstanding! We will definitely make this a repeat restaurant to visit.
