    Cajun swordfish and scallops+shrimp were excellent as always. They've expanded their beer selection on tap to include some nice dark brews. Great for winter sipping. They were happy to customize our meals to accommodate our food preferences. Food is always served as soon as it is cooked.

    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.
