Let me start out by saying Yelp reviews are what led me to Farm. I was in town for the afternoon to check out Bluffton. What a quaint and charming town! Before leaving town, we decided to have dinner, and that is where Farm comes in. We decided to go with the recommendation of the staff up front and the waiter, choosing the Anthology menu for dinner. That selection was impossible to be disappointed with. The food is sourced locally, the taste is exceptional, and the service (shout-out to Justin) is outstanding. We just planned a return visit to Bluffton for May. This is what a low-country dining experience should be. read more

This was our last dinner before flying home, and it was the best by far. We had reservations early on a Tuesday evening. We opted for the tasting menu with optional wine pairings. Portion sizes of each course were just right, not too big, not to small. It is a decent amount of food overall, so come hungry. Prices were on par with other fine dining restaurants. Service was excellent. We appreciated that they were quick to clear our dishes and keep our water glasses filled. Since their menu changes frequently, I won't go into detail about the food, other than to say everything was well-presented and delicious. read more

Living in New York City I have high standards for restaurants. FAFM is probably the restaurant in Bluffton/Hilton Head that best meets those standards, My father's birthday is a week before Thanksgiving usually. He's impossible to shop for (oh another golf gadget? Boring.), but he does love a good meal. Looking around FARM's tasting menu looked appealing, so I reserved it for my parents and me. FARM is inside of a charming building downtown, with an open kitchen downstairs and a few tables (including a shared "community table"), and an upstairs (I've not been). We were seated fairly quickly and the waitress came over and excitedly explained the menu. We opted to start with cocktails and then get into the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The cocktails were excellent, with my Ode to Cornbread being quite interesting. It felt a bit like an old fashioned but with licor de elote and mole bitters. No sooner had we finished our cocktails had the sommelier (level 2)/GM come over to serve our first glass of wine. I won't go into detail on the wine pairings, but each was well thought out and beautifully enhanced the food. The first course was a winter green salad and beef tartare. The salad was wonderful, with the crisp ham being a lovely contrast with the rest of the salad. The beef tartare was mixed with giardiniera and served with potato chips, which was a fun twist on the tartare. Second course roasted brassicas (broccoli) with miso ranch alongside the wood oven clams. The broccoli has a nice bite from chili peppers, and the miso ranch was a showstopper. My mom had long taught me it's rude to lick plates, I was worried I'd have to remind her. The clams were lovely as well, especially if you get some of the roast pork with it. The third course is when you select your protein, a departure from when we had done the tasting last year. Each protein was tasty, though potentially bigger portions than you'd even want at this point in the meal. The roasted cabbage and mashed rutabaga was a nice side to break up the heavy proteins. Dessert, served with sparkling wine, was a chocolate flourless torte and a s'mores cake. Both were a fantastic end to a lovely meal. Overall, FARM might be the very fine dining on and off Hilton Head Island. The meal was so good my dad is scared to go back in case it isn't as good the second time. Highly recommend if you are looking for something that could compete in Atlanta or New York City. read more

We were seated quickly and found all the employees so welcoming! This restaurant does Farm to Table right using local and regional produce, products and spirits, too. Everything was DELISH! We were in the mood for oysters and their starter of Roasted May River Oysters with breadcrumbs, country ham, sherry, butter and garlic- fantastic! The Oysters on the Half shell were also yummy and in season! We look forward to their oysters sooner than later! read more

I had the privilege of dining here again and WOW - this restaurant is even more wonderful than I remembered. They get the service, food and atmosphere right every time! Today we had the Steakhouse tasting menu with four courses. Each was wonderful! The portions are so generous and I love that the staff know how to tell the whole story of each dish. This was such a special experience and I only wish I lived closer. read more

Finally tried Farm tonight. I have heard a lot of people talk about how wonderful the food is, and I was so looking forward to trying it, but hubs and I both came away disappointed. Overall, our food was fair or good, but not great. Our server was helpful & attentive, but not overwhelming. She was good about making sure our waters were refilled when needed. The only thing that she could have done better would be to explain some of the dishes, since the explanations on the menu were lacking. I am sure that if we had asked her specific questions, she would have been able to answer them, but we just didn't think to ask more questions about ingredients/food prep before ordering. For starters, we considered doing the steakhouse tasting menu, but decided just to order a la carte instead. I really liked the concept of the tasting menu, but many of the menu items just weren't things my hubby or I liked or wanted. Unfortunately, the menu for a la carte is pretty limited. Hubby wasn't thrilled with the entree choices, so he decided just to order an appetizer (ham & burrata with melon) and a small plate (shrimp & rice). The quality of the ham looked to be top notch. The cheese was seasoned with fennel, basil, aged balsamic vinegar, and benne seeds and sat on a bed of thinly sliced cantaloupe. It was served with delicious thick, rustic house-made sourdough garlic bread. He said the ham & burrata & melon was one of the best appetizers he's ever had. Unfortunately, though he did not like the shrimp rice at all. For starters, the shrimp was ground up and mixed into the rice. The description on the menu failed to mention this. The rice had berbere spice, red pepper paste, peanut and benne. He did not like the flavor of the seasoning. He barely ate half of it, which is not typical for him. I am much a more adventurous eater than he is and even I didn't totally love the flavor profile of this dish. Neither of us would order this again. We decided to share an order of the brown butter cornbread. This may be the best cornbread either one of us has ever eaten. The cornbread was perfectly cooked and had a nice crisp top, with the bottom soaking in the cane syrup and sea salt. So, so good! I decided to try the redfish entree, which was served with rice and tomato/okra kimchi. I am not a fan of kimchi or pickled anything, and don't like raw red onion so I didn't really eat any of the veggies, just the rice and fish. The fish was not overdone, but did not have much flavor on its own. My guess is that they expected the kimchi to do the heavy lifting with regards to flavoring the fish. The Carolina Gold Rice did not taste like it had any seasoning; it was very bland. Overall, it was an underwhelming dish, and I would not order it again. Since I didn't think I would like the veggies served with my entree, I ordered a side of succotash. The corn was freshly cut off the cob and was sort of creamed, there were not a lot of butter beans, and I don't know what the heck the "Umami Sparkle" was, but I did not care for it. I would not order this side dish again. We decided to split a dessert and chose the coca cola chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. The texture of the cake was very dense and the texture of the icing was very light. Overall, it was a nice balance and tasted good but was so rich. Definitely glad I split this with hubby, because otherwise, it would have been too much. read more

The steakhouse tasting menu offered mostly exceptional food, but the pricing was confusing and not at all reflective of the portions. At nearly $90 per person, it's simply not worth it--especially when ordering à la carte provides better value. See bottom for an abridged version of why the rating. --Ordering Confusion & Pricing Frustration The experience started on a frustrating note due to unclear pricing on the tasting menu. The ribeye option reads: "$125 for two $85 each". We (my wife and I) interpreted that as $125 total for a shared 16oz Delmonico steak. I thought we confirmed that, but it turns out it's $85 each--to share the same 16oz steak. At $125 total, it would've been worth it. At $170? Not even close. By the time we realized this, it was too late. We even confirmed this with a second server nearby. The table behind us was also confused. It's clearly an ongoing issue--not clear on the menu, and not well-explained by staff. We pivoted at the last moment before the first course and changed our protein selections. If we're paying nearly $90 each, we wanted some variety. We chose the pork chop and hanger steak instead of the shared ribeye. --Course-by-Course Breakdown (2 people - $85 & $80 tasting menus) Course 1: Spring Pea Panzanella One for each of us. A crisp lettuce leaf filled with soaked croutons, pickled onion, strawberries, green goddess dressing, and pecorino Romano. Very fresh, great balance of acidity and creaminess. Steak Tartare Served atop a delicately layered, fried pomme paillasson (potato cake). One each. Very tender steak, excellent seasoning. The potato cake was crisp, airy, and seasoned perfectly. Course 2: Wood Oven-Roasted Oysters (4 total) Similar to oysters Rockefeller, but lighter and fresher. Two per person. Tasty, but literally one bite each. Arancini (2 total) Fried rice balls stuffed with arborio rice, sweet corn, saffron, bell pepper, and cheese. Wonderfully textured and seasoned. Saffron is unusual in arancini, but I enjoyed it. The marinara was also excellent. Course 3: Main Dishes Hanger Steak ($85) Cooked perfectly, well-seasoned, and very beef-forward. Deep red interior, served with a delicious au poivre (black pepper cream) sauce. Knife struggled to cut it, oddly. Heritage Brown Sugar-Brined Pork Chop ($80) Easily the best pork chop I've had. Medium temp, beautifully rendered fat, excellent crust. Deep flavor that made for a memorable main course. Sides Asparagus spears: About 10 thin spears with chimichurri--solid, but the least flavorful element. Crispy potatoes: Four fried wedges, served with shallot crema and dill. Very crispy and tasty, but dry on their own. The crema was necessary. Course 4: Dessert Cornmeal Skillet Cake Disappointing. Dry and underwhelming. The diplomat cream and strawberries were tasty, but the base cake wasn't strong enough to carry them. Chocolate Pot de Crème Fantastic. Rich, salted with flaky sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil--like a cross between mousse and flourless cake. While most of the food was excellent, the tasting menu is aggressively overpriced and poorly communicated. The portions don't justify the cost, and you're likely better off ordering à la carte. With clearer pricing and slightly larger portions, this could be a standout experience--but as it stands, it's hard to recommend. We wouldn't have done it but before we got a clear explanation of how it worked, it was too late and are now out $200+ with tip.. For the price, portions of everything should have been doubled except for the protein. read more

Simply a fantastic experience - what a great brunch!! Perfectly paced service with a friendly smile. I ordered the fried chicken Kare Kare, with an egg, sausage dumpling, and some strawberry beignets. Execution was simply excellent from personable and prompt service to food preparation and presentation. I can see this as one of our repeat stops during our annual visit. read more

Hey yall, the decor and atmosphere were great. Everything was nice and clean. I was there for a Sunday brunch and order the short ribs, bacon no sugar, and the red peas. The short rib and grits and the red peas tasted as if someone over salted them. I had the grits to help with the short rib saltiness, but brought the grits home to add some rice. I would visit again. 01/26/2025 read more

Food was varied and different than a typical restaurant. We went with the tasting menu. However we were not awed by it. For example the flank steak was a bit tough and the catch of the day - red snapper had a slight fishy taste. The kale salad was loaded with bacon bits and the broccoli/cauliflower course had to much creamy sauce negating the point of having a vegetable. Atmosphere was loud as it's a small restaurant with hard surfaces and the open kitchen adjacent to the dining room. The service was excellent and attentive. Overall good but not great and certainly not worth the price. read more

Love this unique farm to table menu. Great service. Try brunch. You won't be disappointed. !

Food and service were exceptional. We were upstairs which seemed roomier than the first floor. It was very lively and at times difficult to hear (esp for someone in our group with hearing aids) but overall a great experience. Recommend the brown butter corn bread! read more

Bartender was awesome and made great cocktails - there weee many nice food offerings and the atmosphere is perfect.

Second time was just as good! That statement I am happy to share as my wife and I were worried - it has happened to us with restaurants before, but a truly good establishment is consistent in what it does and thats FARM FARM offers a Quaint and intimate rustic eating environment. We chose the main dining room to see kitchen activity, but al fresco, upstairs and bar dining is available Not necessary to add more to this review as FARM was as good as it was the first time However musts !! If you like sweet (that's me) you must try the cornbread - one word DECADENT! My wife was taken with the burrata- incredibly craveable and the Ballotine chicken was rich with its tomato and goat cheese tart over mushroom dispersion Our server Daphney was excellent and the ownership was happy for feedback read more

Curious. The word applies to our visit in early January, to celebrate my wife's birthday. We'd heard and read of the reputation of FARM and felt blessed to have secured a table for 5:00p, far earlier than we usually dine, but apparently, tables were scarce! We're lucky! This was to be special event birthday dinner for my wife. We'd read of and heard of the good things to treat ourselves to at FARM in Bluffton. We arrived and the place had just three tables of customers, including ours, now just claimed. We waited to be seated. Once down, we noted that as the evening progressed couples continued to be turned away at the door although there were many tables open. The mystery of the 'unavailable tables' continued throughout our stay. While the server was attentive, the drinks were perfunctory, as were the dishes we ordered. The fact that there wasn't much going on in the kitchen either made us feel that we were there on a night when the 'A' team was not. That made sense of the open tables to keep pesky customers at bay and the production volume of plates down for the kitchen to manage better. I hope this was not a typical experience, but sad that it had to occur on our planned special dinner. read more

I went there with my lady friend and another couple and had a different experience from my previous visit. My lady friend had the cannelloni, which was very spicy to the point that she did not eat most of it. She offered some to the other female in our party of four, who likes spicy foods and she spit it out into her napkin. The other female ordered the pork belly and did not finish it, which is very unlike her. On the other hand, I opted for two appetizers: The tuna and some Oysters on the half shell. Both where good and the oysters where perfectly shucked. I even mentioned to our server Isaiah to give kudoo's to the shucker. Isaiah was very attentive, without being intrusive. I left him a 30% tip. As far as the ambiance was concerned: Unfortunately we were seated upstairs next to a ten women that were celebrating a Birthday for one of them. They were so loud talking over one another that the four of us had a hard time holding a conversation. Based on this experience I will NOT be back. read more

Reservations are recommend. However, my husband and I went there for a last minute Sunday brunch without reservations. We weee surprised to be seated right away. You have a choice of where to sit; outside upstairs, inside, or downstairs outside. Tho the inside was nice, it was a beautiful Sunday morning so we choose to sit downstairs outside. I do not think you could go wrong with your food choice. Everything was pleasing to eyes and to our stomach. We will definitely come back again. Perhaps for dinner upstairs. read more

Had a delicious dinner at FARM last night with my husband and dad. Our reservation was for upstairs which has a quieter ambience and felt a little chilly last night; I wish we'd been in the main dining area because I think it would've been a bit more lively and I always like seeing the kitchen. FARM's concept is farm-to-table, so everything is fresh and local - but the menu does change frequently (our menu edition was #685). They also make their own cocktail mixers in house which we had to try - I had the Lemongrass (vodka, lemongrass, lime, St. Germaine, jalapeno) which was very refreshing and summery; my husband had the Down the Rabbit Hole (clarified bourbon, lemon, bitters). Do not skip the cornbread. Served in a cast iron skillet. It's perfection! For dinner, I had the Wood Roasted vegetable Salad which had an AMAZING berbere oil sauce, the Gemelli & Sunday Gravy small plate which was ok. My husband devoured the Buttermilk Fried Chicken with creamed peas and a biscuit with honey rosemary sauce. My dad also enjoyed his Grilled Pork Chop with butterbeans, apples, and sausage. Overall, it was a lovely night. The service was a tad slow (part in course to having to bring food and drinks up from the kitchen, so again I wish we'd been downstairs), but the delicious food and friendly waitstaff made up for it. read more

April 7,2024 Brunch July 12, 2024 Dinner Waited awhile to write this review and we had three visits under our belt. The first time we came for brunch with no reservations on a Sunday as we just moved here and had no refrigerator yet at home. Luckily that day we were allowed to sit at the bar to eat. Hubby and I both felt the food was very good. But of course we were extremely hungry. I had an Aperol Spritz and Chicken and waffles. Note very small portion of chicken. Next attempt was Sunday evening of Memorial Day weekend there appeared to be many seats available however we were turned away as we again had no reservations. We went to Nectar across the way who gladly fed us and took our money. Our latest time here was this past Friday evening friends had made reservations to sit upstairs at 6:30PM. We were greeted in the usual cold manner and my friend led the charge for the table she reserved. I stayed quiet as this was her choice and I could tell already the hostess here had a certain tone. Once upstairs the waitress got us our drinks. After reviewing the cocktail selection I decided on an Aperol Spritz as that seemed great my first visit and still was. As for the dinner selections the main courses were limited. So hubby and I shared the corn bread with brown butter, corn bread pudding, chicken and dumplings. He had the steak main course I had a piece. It was already cut up which was nice and flavorful. We ordered another dish with mushroom that never arrived until I saw the waitress finally after we were nearly finished and then she brought it out. By that time I already wanted to box my leftovers. We were never offered dessert so I don't even know if they serve any here. When the check came the waitress said they removed the mushroom dish that never arrived not when it did come did we eat. Would I come back? Blufton is a very small town so I say never say never. Also their help could change so there is hope. But definitely would not be my first choice to eat at. read more

Great atmosphere, excellent cocktails, not kid-friendly. We were excited to eat here and had reviewed the menu ahead of time. We assumed that kid friendly food might not be on the website since the restaurant is in a vacation area. We were wrong - the only off menu item or simplified dish for kids is pasta with butter, no other options. This worked for one child and the other just had to wait us out We enjoyed it, but would not recommend for families with strong preference children. read more

My wife and I stopped in a few days ago. Very clean and when you walk in the door the amazing smells hits you right away. The menu had a lot to choose from and everything was priced right. We ate and had enough to have for lunch the next day . Stop in and check it out . 5 Stars !!! read more

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. We live in Savannah, but we had to attend an event in Bluffton, so we made a spur-of-the-moment decision to stop at Farm for dinner. The restaurant staff was great and our waitress (Tierny) was outstanding. We had the burrata and ham, the Little Gem Salad and the Sweet Cornbread for our appetizers and the Pork Ragu for the main course. Every dish was excellent and left us wanting more. For dessert, we opted for the espresso martini and the chocolate empanada, which were both to die for. We will definitely make the 1 hour+ drive back to Bluffton, just to eat at Farm! read more

I came here for a work trip during the tourist off season. I sat at the bar and was presented with the most friendly staff. The inside atmosphere is rustic but classy. You dress up or you can dress a little more casual. I wouldn't wear sweatpants. I wore a vintage tank top and Jean shorts and I didn't feel out of place. There is also outside seating at the front of the entrance. Food: The food here was wonderful! The Corn bread is enough for 2-3 people to share. It's the best cornbread I think I've ever had. The oysters on a half shell I had were very good. I wish I had gotten a lemon slice with them though. That's my own preference! The tempura okra was very good. The sauce that it was laid on was a bit too spicy for me but if someone likes spice then it's for you. The flavor of the sauce was really good though. Lastly the steak tartare was good. I'd never had steak tartare before and I'm glad I tried it. Overall if I ever find myself in Bluffton again I'd love to come back. The area is so quaint and beautiful. read more

This spot was a fun find on a girls trip to Palmetto Bluff. The food was excellent - highly recommend the brown butter corn bread.

My husband and I had dinner here while visiting Palmetto Bluff/Bluffton. This was far and away our best meal of our trip. We had the steakhouse tasting menu, sharing the delmonico rib eye. We thought the tasting menu was a great deal and was a substantial amount of food for a reasonable price. The first course, which was a beef tartare and panzanella lettuce wrap essentially, was exceptional. The lettuce wrap was fresh and bright, balancing nicely with the heavier tartare. The second course was oysters and arancini. I am allergic to oysters so my husband had my share also and said they were some of the best he's had. The arancini were delightfully crispy and the tomato consome had excellent flavor, although I would mention this was my least favorite of all of the dishes, even though I very much liked it. Everything was just that good! The rib eye was perfectly cooked and the red wine just was a perfect compliment to it. The crispy potatoes and roasted squash were excellent sides. At this point, we were so full we thought we'd have to roll down the stairs, but the desserts were still to come. The berry crumble was out of this world with diplomat cream was something this pregnant lady will crave forever. The diplomat cream was perfection and offset the tartness of the berries- both enhanced by the crumble itself. The flaky sea salt on the chocolate pot de crème was the perfect addition. Excellent iced tea for me and my husband was very pleased with the cocktails and felt like they were generously poured. Service was impeccable. The servers were friendly and attentive, without hovering. We never wanted for anything, even though there were several big parties around us. Our bill was significantly less than we expected after a few days in this town and our experience and food was exceptional. We will definitely be back! read more
