Reviews for Farmer's Apprentice Restaurant in Vancouver, BC

We planned on going to grapes and soda but ended up waiting for a table at Farmer's apprentice and were very glad we did.... indoors was full but the server was super nice and prepared a table outside for us + turned the heater on (this was lateOctober). While the menu is small it has great quality items and we really enjoyed everything we shared and the cocktails werealso good (we wished the Martini's had been more classic and dirty but they were still good). It is important to highlight thatthe portions are quite small but you can taste the high quality of the food. We had a good server who was engaging throughoutthe dinner, the service was a bit slow but that's expected as it was a busy Friday night and they were packed inside. Read more

Nice little spot but the server seriously needs an attitude adjustment. When you?re selling a sausage on a little bit of rice... for $42 at least pretend to care under your mask. Sat without a drink for a while multiple times. The bread was nice and theother server friendly but simply not worth it. Very disappointed. Read more

Opted for the family style menu for six people. Everything was delicious. The fish was some of the best I?ve had. We were able... to experience ingredients that we?ve never seen or heard of before as well. I?m rarely impressed by restaurants and think thisplace is severely underrated as a few other reviewers mentioned. Read more

The picture can tell a lot. I took this picture at 7:39pm dinner time. There were only two tables including mine. I had really... bad experience in this "used to be famous" restaurant. The food was mediocre. The server came checked on our table about thefood, we told them the food was too sour to our preference he was so ignorant and just replied with "oh" and left. I guess theyare too famous to take care of their customers. Read more

Amazing overall. Food was unique and delicious without being pretentious. Servers really cared about what they were serving. ... Go! Read more

Another great spot for sharing food. I love the atmosphere! It has a farmhouse hipster vibe. They have house-crafted bottled... cocktails. I had the Empress gin and tonic. We shared most of the items on the menu. There was a heavy vegetarian influence. Themenu is small. We tried everything I was intrigued by and find no reason to go back. So, hopefully they change the menuregularly or you may only need to go once for the experience. Read more

Came here for happy hour. They have happy hour from 3:30 to 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays. We had the bottled daily cocktail... which was delicious. It had calamansi and grapefruit soda. Would definitely recommend it if you want something light andrefreshing. For snacks we had the blistered padrons and cauliflower. The blistered padrons went really well with the horseradishaoili. They were very smokey and meaty. Strangely addicting. The crunch of the almonds paired really well with everything andbalanced out the bitterness of the padrons. The roasted cauliflower with the walnut muhammara was equally as delicious. Theycooked the cauliflower so that it made it somewhat meaty and gave it some bite. Both snacks were great and paired well with thedrinks. The service was also great. We sat for around 1.5 hours and weren't rushed out or anything as the dinner reservationsstarted to come in. Would definitely recommend them for food and drinks. The place isn't very big so make reservations or comeearly Read more

The place was cool. My friends loved their food. I got 21 day aged pork belly. Not my favorite as it made me feel a bit weird... after. The taste is good but maybe it was my fault to order it as it tasted really fatty and oily to me. I know it is pork bellyso I should have expected it. Still, when I walked in the restaurant, the smell of oil was very pronounced and not my jam. Maybeothers would like it. The dish cost 40$. Personally I don?t think it should have cost that much as it wasn?t that good. I?vepaid 40$ for dishes that were definitely more mind blowing. This wasn?t blowing my mind. Still, the vegetables that came withthe dish were good. I tried my friends food as well and it was good. The menu for this place is on the smaller side, there weregluten free and vegetarian options but there?s no adjustments as well as no options for desserts. As cool as it is, if there arepeople who couldn?t find what they want to eat, they?ll just be left hanging. I?m sure in other times with different curatedmenu, it would have been good for others who come here. But maybe check the menu before you go to make sure you like the optionsthey have. In conclusion, I?m not sure I?ll come back here. It?s a cool idea to partner with bc farms and bring farm to tablecuisine. I might have expected too much and left disappointed. The place itself is very cool. Just wish the menu is a bitbigger, more fresh dishes to choose from and flexibility in adjusting them to meet the need of picky eaters like me. Thanks forthe food.
