Wow!
We're in New York City and there's no getting around that. There's no
such thing as rustic here. So if you want to have a rustic-feeling
restaurant, the best you can hope for is authentic faux-rustic. Friend
of a Farmer in fact carries that off. It's a fun, rustic-feeling space
complete with folk music. Overall, a very fun space enhanced by the
piles of fresh fruits and veggies lying around.
The food was
also good. We went for a late brunch on a Saturday and everything was
of the highest quality. We had the apple pancakes (highly recommended!)
and a nicely-stuffed omelet which was cooked perfectly. To go with
that we had some mulled apple cider which could perhaps have been more
mulled but was nonetheless just the thing for a cold NYC afternoon.
Service was efficient and friendly.
This
place is probably too friendly to attract the attention of the serious
snooty foodies -- Michelin will never give this place a star. But it's a
great neighborhood place and if you've been shopping at the Union
Square Farmer's Market you can't do much better than to stop by this
place on your way home to see what a good restaurant can do with all
those nice fresh ingredients.
