Had a wonderful dinner last night at Farmers and Chefs. The outdoor seating is fabulous, service excellent. The Pulled Pork and fries were sinful. My only negative comment is the parking, very limited. I highly recommend this restaurant. Cannot wait to go back.

This is such a cute place! It is near the water and you can even eat outside. My food was delicious!!! This is truly a hidden gem!!! The wait staff were amazing as well!!!

I really wanted to like this place but was underwhelmed. The menu looked really good and my husband and I decided to go this past Sunday based on the great reviews. We called two or three days ahead and were easily able to get an early reservation but they advised they were not having brunch because of the college graduations, which we were fine with. Since we had an early reservation, I had no issue parking in the strip of spaces next to the restaurant. Since it was humid, we dined inside. Our server was fantastic, very attentive, friendly and personable and contributed to the experience. We started out with the burrata crostini appetizer which was tasty. It was actually a nice contrast having a thin slice of slightly sweet apple under the cheese. The scallions were good, but the pink peppercorns on top detracted from the flavor of the dish. I understand the approach for contrast (very sweet fig jam, slightly sweet apple, sweet balsamic reduction, cheese) but I didn’t agree that the peppercorns worked. It was a nice appetizer but nothing I couldn’t recreate myself at home. For entrée, I had the pan roasted duck breast. The waitress asked me if mid rare was OK but the duck came out way overcooked and dry. I probably should have sent it back. Everything on the plate tasted good but the meat and asparagus needed salt (duck was nicely seasoned except for salt and being overcooked, mash was delicious). My husband’s burger was cooked properly but also needed salt. My bohemian passion cocktail was fantastic. There were a lot of interesting flavors that worked well together and made a delicious drink (but I like sweet drinks, and it was definitely sweet). My husband’s Results May Cherry was fine, he’s definitely had better old fashioneds and has had higher end bourbon at home. Overall, there was nothing terrible about our meal but also nothing that would make us return.

Talk about feeling welcomed!!! Amazing arms wide open from Sarah. Been a few times and this is most likely becoming my favourite spot in our new neighbourhood. Let’s talk about the outside/inside bar counter. Brilliant!!! During the week we sat out with Kelly for dinner. Today while on a walk we stopped for a beer. Once we saw the cocktail menu we had two phenomenal drinks from. Even the guest were kind and welcoming. Of course having Kelly the dog helped a LOT. GREAT SPOT

Amazing experience here! The staff was lovely and welcoming, the menu is fabulous - ever-changing with the seasons. The food is FRESH and delicious and clearly made with care. I'm so glad we found this spot and we will definitely be back!

First time dining at this restaurant since it changed names and everything, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The aesthetic is laid back and chill and the food was really, really delicious (we had the hot honey chicken and the musssels). I will 100% go here again soon.

We enjoyed the food, for the most part. My spouse has soup, octopus and ravioli. I had snails and a hamburger. Everything was delicious, except the soup. It was just a little off. I haven't had snails in over 40 years, and I loved them. The burger was very good, except they for got the bacon. I guess I really didn't need the bacon. My spouse said she loved everything. The wait staff was very nice and accommodating. I didn't ask for much, but they were very attentive. I will be going back, hopefully with my children (they are very busy people), but we recommend checking it out.

OUTSTANDING! From the friendly ladies to the comfortable environment, outstanding service and amazing food! We even made Mother’s Day reservations!
