Came here with my staff. Nice place - great drinks, good food and reasonable prices. Service was great as well
Delicious and so much fun! The food was creative and excellently prepared. Our waitstaff were so friendly and fun - the service was flawless!
Really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was great; I had the braised short rib and ate every bite. The cocktails were delicious as well! The service was excellent. Would absolutely come back.
Milanese, short rib, and drinks were all delicious. Staff was excellent and knowledgeable. Great spot - will be back to try more of the menu
Wonderful dinner! Delicious food and great service. The outdoor patio dining was so pleasant & relaxing. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday with my husband. :)
It is truly rare when a restaurant’s food and hospitality battle for the title of superiority over one another. Two fierce competitors refusing to budge as they strive for perfection. To an outsider, both sides ascend to a level that transcends normality. The staff however clearly hold themselves to this standard daily in both their professional and personal lives, and it shows. If you are looking for a place for any occasion, look no further than The Farmhouse. Situated in the center of the bustling yet humble town of Needham, The Farmhouse is anything but quaint as its name would imply. It is a place to develop friendship, find love, and celebrate it all in the process! Special shoutout to Zach at the bar!
Really delicious entrees and appetizers. They have mocktails if you ask. Its a small restaurant, no big partys. More 2 hour parking in the back. You can enter through the back door. Food is REALLY REALLY good. Its a little pricey but it IS worth it.
The lunch we had was delicious! And the Farm Water has to be my new favorite drink! I had fish tacos. They were the perfect combination of flavors.
The place is way swankier than it looks. Very nice place to get a meal. Lunch menu is limited but options were great. Got the Baja Tacos and you THINK two ain't enough. But they are
Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Farmhouse! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfectly balances upscale with cozy. The service was outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The food was on another level. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can tell real thought and care goes into the menu, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. The cocktails were equally impressive. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.
