Our second visit. Nice restaurant, friendly staff, but service for the second visit is on the slow side (there were only 3 other small tables seated) My wife ordered the highly recommended Asian salad which was bland and could have used more seasoning or dressing. I had the Chicken wrap which came with a side of homemade chips that seemed more like a processed chip out of a bag. read more

Ate here several times on my last trip. There was a miso soup with delicious fresh mushrooms, there was a BLT to die for, everything they make has that little unexpected twist that takes it up another notch. They make healthy things involving squash and zucchini ... that I actually enjoy eating! I don't know who is responsible for their menu, but do yourself a favor and start exploring it. The staff is friendly in spite of being crazy busy, and the food is consistently fabulous! read more

In general our lunch was good. We all ordered different meals: I had pick 2 with 1/2 Harvest Sandwich and cup of French Onion Soup. The sandwich was crunchy as I like with fresh pita bread. My soup was very heavy on onions and extremely light on broth. Our server had a difficult time entering a few changes on the order which made it a slow process. When I added a side order of fries was difficult for him to realize I wanted 3 things. Finally he said it would be an extra charge which was fine with me. I'm assuming he was new and struggling with the device. Drinks came out after our food. read more

We went to this restaurant on a work trip. So glad to have stopped here for dinner. It was a group of 6 and we were attended to very nicely. Service was great. We all got salads, each different but the farm salad was soooo delicious, I got it with their citrus vinaigrette. Pizza crust was a little cardboardy. But the mushroom pasta was delicious!!! The sauce was so good and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. I'd recommend this place & if I ever found myself in Cortez I'd stop by again. read more

Vegan friendly! We had the black bean burger, the carrot soup (so yummy!) and a garden salad. There was also a beet salad on the menu. We'll try that next time. We didn't have reservations, but got there early enough to be seated. Very nice place! read more

Cute place, but service was kinda slow and waited a bit to be acknowledged and seated. Then after paying, it took a while for the waitress to return with our credit card. I ordered the turkey pita with fries, which was pretty dang tasty! It was a pretty large serving so I was able to take the other portion to-go and snack on later that evening. My husband got the green chili stew. That was disappointing. No flavor whatsoever. It tasted as if it were watered down, with no green chili flavor and no salt. Maybe they were just having a rough day. read more

Beautifully appointed Farm to Table restaurant wi th spectacular food and food selections. Gracious, welcoming staff made us feel very welcome and explained the re-purposing of the charming historic building and careful selection of ingredients from local farmers within the county. Our table enjoyed every one of our lunch items. Highly recommend the green chili poutine and the grilled chicken sandwich. These dishes sound modest but they're stunningly delightfully wonderful read more

The desserts were delicious, and the rest of the meal was "good". But there was a weird moment with the owner of the business yelling across the restaurant at one of the staff members loudly about a seating issue. It was strange and made us all a bit uncomfortable. Maybe he was having a bad night? Otherwise, the eclectic decor was cute and homey, and the local brewery selections were nice! Glad I got to try an elderberry cider from maker in Mancos. read more

We were there late on a Tuesday evening and were sat immediately. Tanner, our waiter, was attentive and personable. We had the side salad with the most incredible, flavorful, garlicky croutons and we shared the lamb meatballs - they had a great combination of flavors! My husband had the Old Cowboy and I had the lemon basil martini. Both were wonderful additions to our meal. read more

Phenomenal local fare! Friendly staff, adorable little place! Bread to start was flavorful, homemade butter. Kids loved their meals, our steak was awesome. Could go on for days.. Plan to return tomorrow read more

I have a very mixed feelings about this restaurant. When my daughter and I went there was just one main server, and a bartender manning the bar, but also manning some tables in the back. We were seated at the very front seats next to the window, which was fine. It took a while for the server (older woman) to come get our orders. If it wasn't for the complimentary focaccia bun I would have being very "hangry". I was interested in their burgers, but it came in pretzel buns. I asked if I can substitute with other types of bread. She proceeded to kind of twist her face as if I was asking something ridiculous. She said pretzel buns are the only bread. So I ordered the lamb meatballs instead. My daughter ordered chicken sandwich in pretzel buns with roasted peppers. The food took close to 40 min to come out... once it came out I cut the meatballs to eat, and realized the centers were still raw. I had to call the server and ask for the kitchen to really cook the meatballs through. She once again twisted her face and said these are the way they serve their lamb meatballs (slightly raw in the middle). I insisted nicely that I preferred well done. She did take the meatballs back to the kitchen. Once the meatballs came back out they were fine. The flavours were good, but kales a bit too salty. I understood she was the only one serving the front part of the restaurant. I did thank her for making sure my meat was cooked through. She was not a rude or mean person, but the long wait for the food took come out, her twisting her face when I asked her something fairly standard, and raw meat in the center was not what I had planned after a long day... I would give a 2 star, but I really think I went their when they did not have enough servers (and the place was busy). read more

What a cute place to stop in while on my road trip! The service was great and the atmosphere was adorable! Very rustic farmhouse and perfectly quaint. I love the emphasis that they placed on sourcing their local organic farmers! That is a great way to support your local economy! The yak burger was fantastic! The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked! The pretzel bun was delicious. It was so good! The salad was fantastic! I got the apple cider vinaigrette and the veggies were so fresh! If I ever find myself in Cortez again I will for sure be stopping back by! read more

The Menu is good but the food is underwhelming. I consider it overpriced for what you get. Service was standard, nothing delightful. The building is really cool read more

Interesting that a customer should wait 6 minutes before anyone comes to talk to them. Seems snotty to complain about but after obviously having trouble seating ourselves at a window table with a table that was too small for its space, we shouldn't have had to wait at all for some assistance with this overbearing piece of restaurant furniture that had us both sucking our guts in to make the space work. Actually the industry standard is 5 minutes. I didn't know that until it was explained to me by the owner/manager of Farm Bistro and that I had only been seated for 3 minutes. Meaning that I was well within the time for any waiting-too-long-at-table complaint to be ruled a foul by the manger/owner to the customer. Yes, that's what I was told. Instead of "we'll send someone right away", which would have taken care of all of it, my request to have someone visit our table was invalidated by the owner/manager or some mercurial title like that. I was told that anyone visiting my table in the time I was there would have been an industrial indulgence. Was looking forward to eating there as I had planned on it a month prior coming out from LA. I'm disappointed that my lack of patience caused the owner/manager to treat me like a child about what true customer service looks like. I believe the subtext was that the sever had been slowing down for a while and that she was being timed by the owner/manager. Thats why he knew how much time we had been there. He was wrong about the time though as my daughter who accompanied me that night has a knack for timing intervals of off-beat occurrences. So the owner/manager took his anger for the waitress's slowness out on me. I didn't want any of that, I just wanted someone to see we were having a tough time with the wobbly table and to simply say "I'll be right there". Was that asking too much regardless of how long we had been sucking in our guts to wait for someone? read more

This a a small downtown restaurant. Walked in and was seated in the front window . Ordered one of the special margaritas, pineapple jalapeño with salt. It was good but not spicy. For dinner I had the chicken fingers with a dinner salad. The blue cheese dressing had chunks of cheese and the salad had the sweetest tomatoes. Very good. The best part was the fingers. They were cooked to perfection. There were 4 large ones and were made fresh. The batter was crisp and the perfect amount. The cut so easily with a fork and was juicy and tender. Would highly recommend. read more

I had the Brat sausage and sauerkraut, & red potatoes... cooked to perfection. So delicious Could possibly be the best I have ever eaten. My husband had the hamburger patty with green chili stew & cheddar cheese over fries! The meat was so tasty! He really enjoyed the meal The hostess & server were beyond nice! We live in New Mexico and will definitely be back. read more

I think they were having some technical issues before we arrived that slowed down service, but I still think this could have been a better experience. We ordered potato skins and were brought potato fritters, which were good, and just didn't correct the waiter as we could tell they were a bit overwhelmed. The yak burger was not worth the $24...it didn't have sauce and I asked for medium well and my patty was dry..my dad ordered the chicken fried steak which was great but the veggies with it were colder than my salad. I was super excited for a farm to table experience...maybe it's better when they aren't having other issues arise. read more

This farm to table restaurant had a versatile, promising menu. The older, exposed, stone-walled interior was charming. The service was excellent. Curiously, both our entrees were lacking a key element. My farm salad was missing the apple slices. The feta cheese thus overpowered the dish. My husband's bratwurst meal was served with a mayonnaise based aioli instead of the mustard with beer cheese ( a common accompaniment to bratwurst) listed on the menu. When he asked the served about it we were told it was the correct condiment. read more

Lovely little lunch stop. Looked cute inside, we got food to go. The service was good. Food was yummy!

The ambiance is wonderful and everything in the restaurant is unique and thrifted. From the different tables and chairs to the glasses and silverware. Our server told us about the special of the day and started us off with some bread and butter. You can tell the bread is homemade in house. The butter was a little salty. My mom got the potato skins but the chef messed up and we got a different appetizer that wasn't good. We eventually got the potato skins. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and it was really good. I could tell the fries were homemade too as they were all different sizes. Service is great! read more

Clean casual atmosphere, right on the main drag. Locally grown and raised products in a unique menu. (Lamb was the special, you could also get Yak, that kind of unique). If you're an adventurous diner you'll love it; traditionalist you may not. Food was good. My companions said the fries are great! I had the chicken fried steak which was very good. Chicken tenders with fries seem to be a unanimous choice as to what you should order. Service was mediocre. We were early for dinner and one of only two tables but had to ask for drink refills. When asked for iced tea refills the waitress brought tea - no ice. Iced tea - it's 102 degrees and ice is literally in the name, but she brought no ice. I am giving four stars because the food was good. If rating solely on service I wouldn't have been so generous. I'd have leaned closer to 2 stars. I give the atmosphere, restaurant decor, cleanliness and food a five. I give the service a 2. So 5 + 2 = 7 / 2 = 3.5. I rounded up. Mediocre service is understandable when it's swamped, not appropriate when wait staff are just hanging out chatting. If you're adventurous and not in a hurry I recommend it. Personally I doubt I will be back. read more

Exceptionally friendly service from Wendy. Comfortable and spacious venue. Didn't have reservations but it was early and they seated us...suggesting a reservation next time, however :-) I had chicken pot pie and there were no leftovers! Husband had bratwurst dinner and ate every bit. We both loved the dinner roll. Were told how it was made by a baker using local ingredients, grain/flour, etc. Didn't have room for desert. Worthy of a visit. read more

Passing through on our way to CA we stopped in Cortez for the night. Got an early reservation here based on reviews and we were not disappointed! You feel like you're entering someone's cozy home bar. Pat was our server and he was super knowledgeable and fun to talk with. Service was excellent as was the food. We wanted to try a few things so we started with the Greek Salad...excellent...and the Carrot Coconut soup...also excellent! My husband had the Yak burger med rare, and I had the Spicy Sausage pasta. Both were winners. The food was fresh and delicious, we will be back!!! read more

The food was amazing. I had Butternut Squash soup with the blue corn muffin. My husband and I split the pizza. It was a perfect size. From the moment we walked in until we left the staff was so friendly. They were busy. read more

Amazing little spot. Fresh delicious food and friendly, knowledgeable service. We had the burger and the chicken sandwich. Amazing!! The fries are to die for and all of the salad dressings are made fresh in house. A must visit it in the area read more

We had dinner and sat up at the bar. Had the green chili pork soup. I thought this lacked flavor so was a little disappointed. They served bread and butter and the bread tasted like pizza dough and it was yummy. Got the pork special with an apricot sauce and it was really good. My only nitpick is that the sauce wasn't hot and therefore the pork wasn't hot. It was cooked perfectly though. We also got the lamb meatballs. I Ioved the curry sauce and the crunch crisped kale. Server was friendly and the place had a nice feel to it. Not a loud place and you could have a decent conversation. read more

The Farm Bistro is clearly a neighborhood favorite with a packed dining room that required a 30 minute wait on a Monday night in September. Admittedly, some of the contributing factors might be due to the fact that the place could use a bit more staff which further reflected in the wait time for the food - though, the overall service experience was still quite good. Taste: 3/5 Service : 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 My friend ordered the Farm salad whereas I ordered the Mesa Chicken. The Farm salad was as expected: fresh and exactly what she was looking for. The Mesa Chicken was interesting -- individually, the ingredients and the components of the dish were great. However, the meal didn't quite come together. I'm not sure the vegetables were a nice complement to the rice or the cheese was even meant to be on top of the chicken. Either way, I'm told repeatedly by other patrons that this is better than other local options, so take that for what it's worth. read more

I excitedly entered the Farm Bistro after a day of travel and hoped for a healthy meal after many days of not so healthy eating while traveling through some northern parks. Mixed results. I enjoyed my meal, my husband did not. I had the baseball sirloin, it was tasty but a bit overdone. The mashed potatoes and fresh grilled veggies even better. We also shared a salad (romaine) and it was very good. My husband had the green chile stew. I don't know, maybe because we are from New Mexico? But he said it had no flavor. Service was good, ambience very relaxing. I would go back, not sure I can bring my spouse. read more

Their lunch menu consists of sandwiches, pizza, and pasta. Not my go to, but I already sat down and the reviews were good on Yelp. I was originally enticed by what I suppose is their dinner menu. I ordered the sausage with fries. The restaurant concept is sourcing from the local area. I usually only order artisanal sausages as there is usually less fat. This one met that criteria but timid in seasoning, which is why I was glad for the garlic dipping sauce. Served on a pretzel roll with pepper and onions with a side of fries. With such a simple plate there is no room for errors and everything was excellent. Toasted bun and crispy fries. Pleasant homey decor with lots of natural light and artwork on the walls. read more

what to do when driving across america, but stop in tiny cortez co and eat at the best restaraunt in town. unfortunately for us, the lounge lizard next door was closed, so we settled on the farm bistro instead. it was pretty good however, maybe even better than the lounge lizard, but as we'll never come back, who's to say. the menu was pretty well laid out, the cocktails were splashing and the very young servers all seemed too young to be making us cocktails, but we are not to judge, we are only to be served and enjoy. there were many meditereanian options on the menu, which of course, we were overjoyed to try, zuccinni balls and goat balls, hell yes Cortez! i believe we had some green chili chicken as well, and when we were done, we were overjoyed at our luck that not every cool place in Cortez was closed on Sunday. read more
