Farmhaus in St. Louis is over here redefining dinner theater. Quite literally! The Salad of the Year goes to them! They come table side with a shaken up mason jar full of bright veggies and then dramatically dump it onto a plate. I've seen Broadway shows with less flair. And with all of this action, service is naturally friendly and up beat. Naturally, I got the tuna steak because, as the self-appointed Meat Police of St. Louis, I have a duty to keep it pescatarian. #StLouisPescatarianApproved and proud. This place is another underrated spot in STL. I've been before, but it's been way too long. Here's your official reminder to put this spot on your list. The location is also adorable, surrounded by every possible type of restaurant and bar so you can make a whole night of it. read more

Farmhaus Restaurant - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We chose Farm Haus to celebrate our daughter's birthday and were not disappointed. Standout (besides the food) was the service which was personable but not hovering. Be prepared though to have a leisurely dinner. All three of us chose the chef's tasting menu (4 courses + dessert) and all total we were there nearly three hours. There is no lot or valet, but it's in a neighborhood, and we had no issue finding parking on street right in front. The space is on the small side with a bar area, which had a limited selection of liquor. The emphasis here is farm to table fresh with wine pairings. The tasting started with asparagus, then pasta, then fish, then beef. It was all very good but the beef was amazing. As the restaurant filled the kitchen got a bit slower but the wait for each course was worth it. The angel food cake served at end was delicious but nothing memorable. All in all - a nice evening and we will go back. Ambiance is a blend between formal and casual. More of a special occasion restaurant, with a small menu thoughtfully presented. I would give it a 4.5 but since that's not possible with the stars, settled on a 4. read more

Farmhaus is literally my favorite restaurant in the globe (actual) It has a small town vibe with a big city feel when it comes to the food. Dress up or keep it casual you are welcome. Always. And the staff (even over the years) become family. I'm here regularly, the menu changes frequently because they have such a massive focus on a local farm to table concept. Dishes may change day of based on what is available. I recommend all of it, but if you've never had a tasting menu this is the spot to do it. It's 6 courses with the option of adding wine pairings and it changes so frequently you don't need to worry about it getting "old". Dillon and Kevin will introduce you to flavors and textures you never expected and it will always exceed your expectations. I've attached some photos of the last standard tasting experience I did (about two weeks ago) but I will admit I'm here about once a month to do the tasting simply because it gives me a chance to try so many items off the menu. That said, I do personally believe the menu is VERY reasonably priced for the standard menu as well. It's a wonderful spot for dinner too, not just the tasting menu. I always have extra portions and I try something new nearly every time I'm there. Pro tip: ALWAYS order the empanadas as an app. Tasting menu or not, you must start with these. Pro tip 2: always make reservations. Pro tip 3: always get dessert. (Pot de creme is a staple in my life). Please note, it's a small restaurant, I'm seeing some reviews speaking to the pace of the establishment. I strongly encourage folks to be present and don't rush through this meal. OH! And always order dessert. It's small, it's local, and when they are busy, keep in mind many parties may be having a 6 course meal. Join in the fun and show this cozy neighborhood hotspot some love. I don't personally consider this a slow dining experience, but I don't rush through meals either. Just some food for thought. read more

Been wanting to try this place for years, finally did. Jill was our server and she couldn't have been any more friendly or accommodating. We shared the Ozark mushroom salad, grouper collar appetizer, and flat iron/flank steak. Food was all delicious. Ambiance wasn't what I expected, but overall it was a nice experience! read more

"Ooh, that's why I'm easy...I'm easy like Sunday morning That's why I'm easy...I'm easy like Sunday morning" First off, a little background on me...I'm a 44 year old renaissance man that's starting to look like that bag of potting soil that you keep in the garage for "yard projects" that you know you'll never actually use ever again and every year there are more holes in it so stuff keeps falling out. Farmhaus is legit. Rock hard 5 stars. Chef Dillon and his staff presented a tasting menu that reminded us how good we are at eating while also drinking heavily. There were 15 of us, which is usually a disaster of chaos, but Farmhaus handled it easily. The table app was what I'm assuming was a fancy pork rind that was awesome. I can't stand pork rinds and I ate a chunk of that thing. I chose the wine pairing option, so every course came with booze. I don't drink wine, so it was fun to get surprised with booze all night. No clue what it cost, cause I was moderately drunk when I made that decision. The first shot fired was a gazpacho. I'm a stupid person, so I blew on my first spoonful then realized its supposed to be cold. Once I got over that, I could appreciate the flavor. I'd compare it to a cold, creamy salsa soup. I ripped through one small bowl and then used a second one as a dipping sauce for the pork rind thing. If you're thinking it, you're right...I'm classy. After that, it's kind of a blur...pasta, booze, fish, meats, sauces, booze, sorbet, booze, ice cream, booze. Each round was better than the last. If I had a gun to my head and was ordered to pick a favorite, it was the pasta. It was this awesome ravioli in a creamy sauce that was so good it would make Chef Boyardee climb out of his watery grave to shake the chefs hand then go back to the cold abyss, knowing his pasta is straight up garbage and he should be ashamed of what he's done to all of us.. For a few hours I was in fat man-baby heaven. As I've stated multiple times, you get what you pay for. Farmhaus is on the higher end of the cost spectrum, but it's worth every penny. I used the commode only once, but I found it to be clean and inviting. They earned the coveted 5th star, which is rare. read more

This place was amazing! The vibe was chill, great for date night, or just a night out to enjoy some wonderful food and drinks. We did make reservations as it was a Friday night and wasn't sure how busy they normally are. We were seated immediately and our server came over to take our drink orders. I had a glass of wine. We opted for the a la carte menu and started with the braised beef neck empanadas. They were excellent! You can tell they were freshly made and had really good flavors. For my entrée, I had the black Angus prime ribeye. It was prepared to my liking and was served over smashed sweet potatoes and green beans. Quite delicious and filling. Of course, the night was not complete without a dessert. And I ended up getting a semifreddo served with strawberry meringues. To die for! Service was wonderful from the moment we were seated to the time we left. Our server was lovely and we were checked on a few times by the host, he even stopped to chat about their offerings. It was easy to tell they are passionate about what they do here. I obviously cannot sing enough praises about this place and I cannot wait until my next visit here. If you haven't been, go... now! read more

Made a reservation a few weeks in advance for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were sat on the window wall in the bar area set with white table clothes and candles at each table. Our waitress was prompt to go over the menu and enter our drinks as we waited for the tasting menu to begin. Everything was served at the perfect pace, was made fresh and we left perfectly full. read more

My wife and I came here for our 6th anniversary. We had gone to Ivanhoe Sno shaved ice which is attached to Bubba's Deli a number of times. We had never realised that Farmhaus was on the same block. It is a relatively quiet area with a handful of bars and restaurants spread across Ivanhoe. Babe's Tavern, Vinnie's Italian Beef, and Pizza a Go Go are just north of Farmhouse. It is actually a nice bock that we will come back to and try out some more restaurants. At Farmhaus we went ahead and did the pre fixe menue and wine pairing. The three courses were a pasta dish with roasted tomatoes (very good), a fish dish (good), and then a steak dish with broccoli and roasted onions (outstanding). The wine pairings were a proseco and then two red wines. The wine with the steak was dryer than we would normally drink but worked very well with the meal. For dessert we got Chocolate Pot De Crème which as its name suggests is a "pot of custard." Think a chocolate creme brulee but without the carmalized sugar crust. The service was attentive and helpful, making a reservation was easy to do online, and the atmosphere was intimate. Since it was our anniversary they also gave us an extra class of proseco. I could not have been happier with the service. Overall it was a great anniversary dinner. The one drawback was that it was relatively expensive. With tip the bill for two ran over $300. A big chunk of that was the wine pairing. In retrospect we should have just done one glass per course and split it between the two of us. There is an a la cart menu which would be more affordable for those not wanting to go all out. read more

Great fresh local ingredients. The ambiance inside lacks a tad but the food surely makes up for it. I always go for seafood plates

Can't believe this farm to table place has been open for 14 years...located in a small city neighborhood. Friendly staff. Rotating menu. Great fish dish. Unique shareables. I recommend the tasting menu. read more

Our first time at the restaurant. It's a small, cosy environment. They try and make all of their offerings with locally produced ingredients. The food was great! I had the filet mignon with a deglaze, broccolini that was seasoned just right, lightly steamed then apparently flash seared. It had a bit of meatiness and was quite savory. It came with mashed potatoes intermixed with sweet potatoes. My wife had the spaghetti with a béchamel sauce with Parmesan corn and scallops. Desert was pot de crème. It was fantastic! Whipped cream with ancho chilies and a nice dark chocolate topped with cocoa nibs. The service was prompt and our waitress explained everything quite well and in depth. I did have a little trouble hearing her, but that may be on me. Be prepared to spend a good amount of money, but well deserved! Sorry, I took no pictures as it seemed uncouth at the time. I would definitely recommend this local business read more

10/10!!! I recommend the tasting menu for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary (everyone in your party has to order it). Every single dish was amazing from appetizer to dessert in taste and presentation. The blackened red drum fish was my favorite! For my food allergy, they were very accommodating. We will definitely return for an another date night! read more

Farmhaus Restaurant - Blacken Red Drum - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Very low-key, classy restaurant located in a quiet neighborhood in St. Louis. Overall, each dish had great flavors, the staff was very welcoming and friendly, and the wine and pomegranate martini was on point. Their menu changes on the daily as well. I like that I left feeling perfectly full and satisfied but not stuffed. 4.5/5 stars Ravioli dish- served with pine nuts, delicious sauce and flavors. Unfortunately, this dish was lukewarm/ bordering cold. But again, sauce and the textures were amazing. Served hot would have been outstanding. Wish the portion was slightly larger and I would have had it as my entree. Shrimp- Wasn't expecting this level of spice. Was almost too spicy for us but all the flavors and textures worked well together. The polenta was to die for! A little bit warmer than the ravioli but still lukewarm. Came with about 4 shrimps, perfect appetizer to split with 2 people. Lamb- Chefs special of the night, cooked medium rare, perfectly seasoned. Trumpeter fish- Good portion of fish and again perfectly seasoned and cooked and perfect temperature. Gnocchi were great but got soggy very quickly because of the sauce underneath. read more

I did the chefs tasting - perfect portion sizes. It's the best of ingredients you know well but turns up to 11. The building is fine. Trust me you won't even note that you'll be too busy with taste to notice. Street parking is plentiful. Place got mildly loud about 7:30. We could still have a solid convo just 6-7 we had the place mostly to ourselves. Service was that perfect like of attentions without being hover-y. They will happily split checks. You gotta call for reservations but then the email back (hold onto the email for r/s or your second reservation b/c there will be a second). read more

Excellant! Outstanding! Food, service, ambiance all A+. Last visit date and I shared 4 appetizers and an entree, each darned near perfect. Not sure why, but vibe always feels as tho we're on vacation, Portland, OR, ME or even TX. Although not inexpensive due to restaurant seating only 50-60(guess), it is very much worth it! read more

3.8 - we went here on NYE. When we entered we were promptly greeted: however, it was made clear we only had a 2-hour time limit despite the restaurant only being half full throughout our entire meal. We were sat at a table that had paper over the table cloth. We did love our waitress. She was sweet and personable. We opted to order a la carte. The food was delivered promptly. While it was good, I don't feel like it was anything special - the New York strip steak entree was divine though. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees - again although the price w as up there, we left feeling satiated not necessarily full. Overall we gave a 3.8 stars for prompt but rushed service. I don't know if we would go back. read more

We went all out tonight since we just received our yearly bonuses. This is the first time we went for a 5 course chef designed meals and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every bite. We also order wine pairing- that is a lot more wine than we are used to . We really enjoy everything and thanks for an unforgettable experience. read more

I'm sad to not leave a 5 star review because we were really excited to go here for our anniversary and do the tasting menu. The pasta and kebobs were barely warm when they arrived to our table and instead of the scallops we got a piece of fried flounder. It was very underwhelming. The steak was great and the dessert but for spending $400 (2 tastings and a bottle of wine) we weren't thrilled with the experience. If you get sat in the bar area you are pretty much sharing a table with your neighbors as well. The couple next to us said it was their favorite restaurant so maybe we caught them on a bad night. read more

Great food and atmosphere. We ended up doing the pre fix meal that had 3 courses. I really wanted to do the wine pairing, but there is always next time. I love the farm to table aspect of the restaurant. The time between each entree was a little longer than we are used to, but it honestly worked out better because we got to spend more time together at our table and just talk. My only thing was that with the smaller area it can be hard to hear the people you are sitting with. read more

I absolutely love visiting this restaurant. The staff always makes you feel like an extension of the Farmhaus family. I appreciate the ability to wear a camo hat while enjoying 5 star food. Don't forget to purchase some brews for the crew. If you haven't visited this restaurant then make a reservation now. You won't regret it. read more

Great food. Friendly service. It was quiet on a Monday night but perfectly intimate. A St. Louis staple for date night.

I do want to love this place, but it leaves me baffled. This is our second time and we always have one incredible thing and 4 mediocre things. Tonight the carpaccio was exquisite. Truly. But cornmeal battered fried morels?!! What an awful thing to do to morels. Alas, I don't think we'll be going back. There are so many great options in town. read more

Humble and non-assuming environment with simple decorations, open shelving and a separate bar area. We had the chef's pre-fixe menu and they were able to accommodate my boyfriend with a different gluten-free first course. The food was amazing and all had fresh produce and was very tasty. The menu has some items that can be hard to find in the Midwest such as nice seafood options. We also had the wine pairings which included 2 German white wines and a red wine and they were all lovely and new wines I hadn't tried before. I recommend this to all foodies and wine lovers! read more

If you don't follow your favorite restaurants on Twitter, I highly recommend that you do. If I were not following, Farmhaus on Twitter, I would have never known that they were preparing one of my favorites on Mother's Day weekend. When they sent out the tweet that they were serving, Soft Shell Crab that week-end, I responded back with a simple, tweet. "I'll be there." Arriving on Friday night, I seated myself at the bar. Being a lone diner, I hate tying up a two-top table from the servers. Besides, other fun people also dine at the bar and I like a good company. Sitting at the bar, I of course had to start my evening out with a cocktail. I'll have a, Manhattan, please. Farmhaus is not known for its' cocktails, but I will say they do an excellent job making a classic Manhattan. As I read the menu, I got doubly excited. Not only were they serving one of my favorite seafoods this evening, they were also serving one of my favorite vegetables - asparagus. Life is good and I know this dinner is going to be delicious. If that were not enough excitement, on the dessert menu was, Lemon Poppy Seed cake with vanilla ice cream. I am so glad I am a Twitter follower of Farmhaus. My asparagus was served, "loaded". It had prosciutto, Gouda Espuma, Shoe String Potatoes and Spring Onion Ash. The asparagus was prepared to the perfect tenderness. To my delight, I enjoyed two soft shell crabs split in half and corn flour fried. They were served with a soy-lime aioli, pickled ramp and english pea salad. Some may frown upon eating a shell, but this is my second favorite seafood, right behind scallops and they are a very close second. Dessert completed the evening. To accompany my Lemon Poppy Seed Cake, I enjoyed an after dinner Grand Marnier. The LPSC was basically a pound cake and it was moist. It was served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and pieces of orange meringue. The fresh citrus taste made this a very refreshing and lite dessert. Service at the bar is always attentive. I still miss the, Blue Plate lunches of years gone by, but dinner at Farmhaus is always a 5 Star experience. I'll be back? - Absolutely, it's one of my favorites When: May 11, 2018 Why: Soft Shell Crabs read more

Farmhaus Restaurant - Dessert so delicious I had to stop and do the unthinkable... photograph my food. - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

First visit and what drove me here was the receipt of a gift card. My friend and I had a reservation for 6p on a Tuesday. Arriving on time, we were the only diners, so fair to say that walk-in would have been fine this day. We both settled on the Filet Mignon entree, as is no substitutions. We were a bit surprised at the wait time for our meals, it seemed to take longer than we expected and as a result we asked for some bread, which was provided quickly. When our meals came out, we were immediately excited by the plate. Our first bites resulted with pleasant Mmmmm's!! I ordered my filet medium well and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce/glaze, while very light was perfect for the meat. The carrots.. oh the carrots!! They were awesome! A light glaze, slightly sweet and outstanding. I ate all of them on the plate first. The mashed potatoes (a mix of russet and sweet potato) were wonderful as well. I have nothing but glowing comments for this dish. It was well worth the wait. Our server for the evening was attentive and very pleasant. Overall a wonderful evening on a Tuesday! read more

Farmhaus Restaurant - Filet Mignon....Superb!!! - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Very worth the experience. I recommend the tasting menu and of course buy the kitchen some beeers while you slam some NICE dessert.

This place is located in an unassuming residential neighborhood. It's pretty small with some bar seating. I would really really recommend a reservation. The chef was nominated for a James Beard Award and it is extremely well deserved. Most items are from farm to table. They have a tasting menu and then an al la cart of small and larger plates. At first, the description of the winter menu didn't really catch my eye. But everything and I mean everything I had was delicious. Pros: 1) Ozark Mushroom Salad (get this!!!) 2) Crab-cakes - lots of citrus and flavorful 3) Parsley noodles with clams (Yes, I'm a believer) 4) Duck with veg. roots and it was a sweet, savory, flavor. The trick is to mix all the sauces together! 5) Dessert- homemade ice-cream/apple tart There was nothing I didn't like and strangely enough - my fav. thing was this mushroom salad! And the service is impeccable, friendly, and non-pretentious. Cons: 1) They have tight quarters - especially if you are a table of two. Just be aware that you might be able to smell your neighbor's food - but that could be a good thing. This place is truly awesome. Next time, I might be more adventurous and try the lamb head stew or some sort and trust the chef! read more

Farmhaus is a south city favorite. It's literally a hidden gem as the building is super unassuming from the outside. Watch your step upon entering. The atmosphere is generally cozy. Good for groups as well as private dinners. We had the most pleasant waitress ever. Everyone including manager, possibly owner, buss boy etc. played their part to ensure our table had a great dining experience. The shrimp and grits I had was delicious and well seasoned. Portion was just right. I washed it off with a Monastrelle (red wine from Spain) which I was able to try first before deciding to order. 5 stars for sure. read more

Recently enjoyed a family dinner to celebrate an anniversary at Farmhaus. We were graciously provided a glass of bubbly to toast to the occasion. The table decided to do the Chef's Pre Fixe meal and wine pairings. While we were excited to try this menu, we have decided it seems a bit overpriced. Don't get me wrong, the food is delicious, the freshly made butternut squash agnolotti was great. The 2nd course of flounder was fantastic and the tri-tip steak was also very good. But we believe ordering apps and entrees from the menu would have been the better option. The wine pairing of 3 glasses of wine is priced about right. Will definitely go back, but won't be ordering the Chefs Pre-Fixe menu. read more

Incredible as always. More app heavy meal with the soft shell crab, tuna dip and the best morel mushrooms there are. Ozark mushroom salad is always a must and the spaghetti bolognese was fire. Bagel bread pudding and drinks on point read more

Great experience! Started with the wok fried kale appetizer, garnished with toasted almonds and finished with honey and it was so good my dining partner asked if I was going to lick the plate (well, maybe...). Then had the halibut. Served perfectly, delicious with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Fabulous. Would have given 5 stars as I'm more of a "don't stack my food together" girl but that's on me. Really good food, atmosphere and wait staff. read more

I did a bit of research on top chefs in Saint Louis for a trip in October and found Farmhaus and I am very glad I did. Chef Kevin Willmann is doing fantastic dishes and supporting local farms. The restaurant is very cozy with simple yet elegant look and feel perfect for a date night or a special celebration. I believe the menu changes regularly depending on what is fresh and in season (seafood, meat, veggies etc). I cannot say enough about the service either. From the minute you step in the door the staff is incredibly nice and helpful with recommendations. The Chef was even nice enough and took time on a busy Friday evening to come by our table to say hello and see how we were enjoying the food. read more

After the last visit being less than remarkable, this visit more than made up for it. We had the there-course prefixed menu along with the added fish spread. I could have eaten the entire plate of the fish spread on my own, it was spectacular. The first course, agnolotti, was good, but not amazing. It could use some acid or red pepper to brighten it up. The second course, red snapper, stole the show. This was fantastic with a wonderful celery root purée. The third course, fillet of beef, was very good, cooked to the perfect mid rare, and was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife (which oddly enough is what was provided), but could use a touch of salt. Not to be out shinned by the red snapper, out server Kurt was fantastic as well as the food runner whose name I failed to get. He was attentive, funny, and a pleasure to have. This visit more than made up for the last. Can't wait to come back! read more
