The Farm Table

"Our meal at the Farm Table will unfortunately go down in history as the worst meal we have ever had. As hard as we may try- I don't think we will forget this one. We just went for the "New Years prix fix menu". The food was really awful...not just bad...worse. The lobster bisque was fishy in not a good way- with no noticeable hints of "heavy cream, sherry or 'lobster claw' garnish" as advertised in the online menu. Picture attached. Chose duck as my entree- I have never had tough chewy duck before. I thought the chocolate cake dessert would be pretty safe choice - but it was filled with sickeningly sweet bar cherries and syrup. On the bright side- it was so so bad that it was actually comical. Seeing my husbands new grimaces with each course delivery was really funny- so we at least had a good (albeit expensive) laugh about it!"

"So good to come back after it reopening with the new staff and mgmt. Excellent food, perfect service, familiar cozy classic atmosphere we have always loved! Well done! And thank you!"

"Rustic New England elegance in a cozy and romantic dim light setting with old world style tufted leather furniture, two fireplaces and a seasonal rotating menu (for people who love an establishment but enjoy different options) which is absolutely amazing!!!! I’ve been here twice in two months. My first experience blew me away, it doesn’t feel like you’re going to just any restaurant, it was an entire great experience. There was live music and soft songs like “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young being played that really contributed to my first time here with making it a perfect evening. For cocktails, I had the Spiced Pear Blossom (gin) and The Root Issue (Bourbon) both were delicious. I tried the seafood risotto which was a good portion, filling and good. The Harvest Bisque soup was savory. I was excited for the Arugula Salad because the ingredients sound delicious but there barely any toppings. My second visit here I ordered the Grain Salad and it was loaded with toppings, so pleasing and satisfied with this choice. I selected the Fried Chicken with an Apricot Jalapeño glaze and it was delicious but I would’ve actually liked to taste more spice in the heat of the jalapeño finding it to be more sweet than an equal balance. Overall my entree was plated presentation perfect served over mashed potatoes with brussels. There are two seating areas, a smaller dining space and the more spacious room for larger parties that is more spread out with high ceilings. The service both times was excellent. Shana was suggestive and familiar with the menu items, was friendly and had a great personality. The restaurant being so beautiful, a rotating menu (can’t wait to try spring) and creative food components are exactly what I search for when dining out. Definitely check out The Farm Table."

"My boyfriend and I love this place. We both had been here many times before and were so pleased to see it opened back up after a long few years of being closed. We thought the pandemic took another great restaurant. To our surprise they’re back! So, last Saturday we decided to go there for dinner for the first time in years and it was still as good as we remembered! Everything was fantastic. I got the scallops and he got the filet and oysters of course because I haven’t stopped hearing about them from him since the beginning of time! Well…. My boyfriend ended up leaving his wallet on the table when we left because we both got so distracted reading the book our check was delivered in with all the customers signatures from over the years. We didn’t realize it until the next afternoon that he was missing it. Unsure of where we even left it, we traced our steps and realized that had to be where it was and we called the next day they had it. Everything in it. If I could give 10 stars I would, just for that! That could have been a really stressful situation on a holiday weekend. Thank you to our server for keeping it safe! I am sorry we can’t remember your name! But, I hope you get the recognition you deserve!"

"I wish I could give 4 and 3/4 stars. The foodie in me noticed a few things, but overall the food was great. The sweet pea cocktail was just ok. The fried chicken was amazing and the cornbread appetizer was good but very heavy. Over-beaten, likely, but a tasty concept with the garlic sauce. Atmosphere can’t be beat and for small town Bernardston, this is a treasure. Bar opens at 4, dinner starts at 5. And boy does the place flood at 5! Definitely worth your trip. Pick a sunny day, sit outside and enjoy the gardens and a craft beer."
