In Short – The front deck and backyard patio offer a beckoning urban oasis amidst the billboards and neon of Burnside Avenue and SE Seventh Avenue. The candlelit interior romantically merges Portland's past and present with oversized leather chairs and a handmade bar. The seasonal menu reflects the bounty of Oregon. Entrees range from meaty, grilled citrus halibut with aromatic saffron basmati rice to the house-made vegetarian Farmhouse burger. For dessert, there's the molten chocolate souffle, blissfully cooled by coffee ice…

not worth the hype
by honeyowl at Citysearch
Too many shortcuts are taken at Farm - a place that was recommended to me for its seasonal, local ingredients focus. Well that's all fine and good but if a kitchen can't perform using those ingredients, then the time, care and money spent selecting them is a waste. A goat cheese ravioli married simple, good ingredients well then ruined it with an abundance of heat on the tongue. Two servers confirmed that it came from red pepper flakes. Really? Red pepper flakes belong on a slice at a corner joint, not as a finishing ingredient at a place claiming gourmet street cred. The veggie burger drowns in butter - the bun, patty and carmelized onions oozed it - and didn't come with the pickled zucchini described on the menu. It was a soggy, buttery mess. The one bright spot to our dinner was the grilled halibut, which was cooked perfectly and accompanied by a lightly seasoned, fresh assortment of shucked corn, peppers and zucchini. If you can make it here during half-priced appetizers at happy hour, then your money is wisely spent. Otherwise, skip Farm until the kitchen performance meets up with the quality of the ingredients.
- Pros: beer/wine list

our family favorite
by ciaociaocarina at Citysearch
this is my family's favorite spot in portland. whenever we're all in town, it's the first place we have a family dinner. my mom is a vegetarian, so the fact that they have great options for her is a major plus. for the rest of us, the decision making process is a bit hard, but for good reason. lately though, all i crave is their baked brie. i'm tempted to order it for my appetizer and again for my entrée!
the atmosphere is intimate and special, and makes you feel like you've been invited into someone's home. love it.
- Pros: great options for vegetarians too
