If you didn’t know this is one of St. Louis best places to eat. The chef is serious about his craft and he will come tell you about the details that make him excited. There’s love in this food.
My husband and I had dinner at the Farmhaus in St. Louis. I called first to see what they were serving.
It occupies a storefront in a neighborhood much like where I lived as a kid. It was nostalgic.
We ordered the chef’s tasting menu.
The tasting menu is reasonably priced at $75. There was an optional wine pairing supplement. We didn’t choose that option.
We started with an interesting small cheese plate; an emulsified sharp cheese and fresh green peas, lavosh, and an in-house made coppa. 😋 The tasting menu included halibut and sirloin. The first course was white asparagus with morel butter sauce. 😋
The second was halibut, crusty on the outside and flaky inside. The chef plated the fish atop slices of in-house-made knockwurst, a small portion of rich spoon bread, and green asparagus, all topped with a buttery hot sauce. Though it doesn't sound like the ingredients go together, the combination was tasty.
The sirloin was a bit too chewy. But by then, I was full and well-satisfied with the meal. It was delicious. ❤️
I’m not a fan of meat in general, so consider that. Even so, I don't think one meat cut diminished the meal.
All that said, we want to eat at Farmhaus again.
The gracious host doubled as a server and described the dishes in mouth-watering details that included sourcing the ingredients.
Many thanks to my brother for suggesting this place.
My husband and I both had the chef’s prefixe for his birthday dinner this evening; he enjoyed the wine pairings. We thought the three plates were very good, red snapper being most exceptional. Our server was such a sweet girl, and all staff were so kind and enthusiastic! Plates were coursed out appropriately time-wise.
