We came here on a recent Sunday afternoon. Amazing oyster selection, friendly service, but man was it busy. We were seated at the table between kitchen and raw bar where we had the wait staff constantly running by us which made for a very hectic experience. And still, 4 stars for a great meal (lobster role and pasta dishes were excellent), and the dessert was absolutely outstanding. They have a strict reservation policy- you don’t show up they charge your card $25/person. Better be there…and we will certainly be back.

Love this place!! We took a little detour to explore the town and this cute place caught our eyes. Glad we made a plan change last min and came to this place. Outdoor seating is indeed beautiful we sit inside though given we have no reservation and obviously this place is popular. Service is kinda “cool” style but my server def recommended me an amazing dish - Tuna spicy fried rice maybe? LOVE LOVE LOVE Gonna come back again . This is a perfect brunch or dinner place for people live in westchester or even CT area. The waterfall nearby can be another casual hiking before or after the meal :)

Atmosphere and staff were wonderful! Very attentive and friendly. Food was very good - large portion sizes and nice presentation. We got mussels (my favorite), fish sandwich (not a fan but my husband enjoyed it) and a special

Incredible food, the service was a touch inattentive but honestly it was busy and the setting was so beautiful it lent to a leisurely pace. The surrounding farm is gorgeous, the oysters were fresh, the Amish Fried Chicken was absolutely spectacular, and our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The outdoor seating has a beautiful semi wild summer garden just overflowing with lush flowers which filled the air with their scent. I loved it, as did my date.

Lively 18th century atmosphere, luscious libations, and an inventive menu make for a fantastic dining experience. Definitely makes our top 3 list for this area. From start to finish, the evening flowed effortlessly, and it’s clear this restaurant takes pride in delivering a consistently high-quality dining experience that makes every guest feel valued and every meal feel memorable. Don’t forget to take note of their specials, there are often some real gems waiting for you here!

This was my second time here and it did not disappoint! THE DEETS: A community-oriented restaurant with reasonably priced, locally grown food and high quality seafood. You can't get more local than the food grown on your own farm and more than three quarters of all the vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen are grown on the farm. That makes for a very small carbon footprint and really fresh food! Farmer & the Fish is located within the 22 acre Purdy Land Trust in North Salem, New York in a beautiful 18th century house that dates back to 1775. You are literally dining in a historic house and it is such a nice vibe. FOOD & BEV: We were a party of three and we started off with some bevs of beer and wine with the house bread and delish salted herbed butter. We respectively got a lobster roll, clam chowder with a side of polenta fries, and the tuna burger. Everything was on point and really good. We finished off with a coffee, espresso, and cappuccino. The foam on the cap was so tight & probably on of the best I've ever had. SERVICE: Our main server was amazing but they practice team service and everyone working today touched our table at some point and we felt the love. AMBIANCE: The house itself is one year older than the USA and there is a fireplace in each nook. There is a quaint little bar when you first enter with a small raw bar at the end of it. What a treat and this will not be my last visit! As always, support your local small biz & this is it!!! Cheers.
