Farmers Kitchen + Bar

Caught dinner and cocktails before a show at the Guthrie. Great location, cute decor. Service was quick and competent. I wasn't thrilled about the menu initially, but their specials included a hanger steak and a French onion pasta which sounded good. Our bison meatball appetizer was tasty, with wild mushrooms and a rich gravy. The hanger steak was very bitter -- it had char which we usually like but the bitterness was overwhelming. The potatoes it came with were undercooked and under seasoned. The French onion pasta was better but very rich and could have used some acidity to balance it out. Cocktails were fine but nothing too special.

It's a little confusing how and where to order, but once we got that figured out, I'm very happy we stopped here. The food is so fresh and delicious. The staff didn't pay much attention to us since we sat ourselves, but I still think this is a 5 star place. I love that they use food sourced from the farmers market.
The craft sodas are hit or miss, probably skip those unless you feel like a splurge.
Easy lunch spot before or after hitting the museum or us bank!

Amazing food, fair prices, gorgeous space. They manage to make it feel so open and airy despite being quite small. I had the Fern+Dale with a side salad and a Rosemary Palmer. All fantastic (even the side salad, which had no business being that good. I could have eaten an entire plate of just that!). The fact that you're supporting local is like a cherry on top. Def recommend.
