Lobster club. Polenta fries. Heavenly . Seating could be more comfy, but at least people don't linger...

Met friends here for a weekend lunch. Kind of tight seating inside. Was a bit sorry we didn't reserve for outside because it was a beautiful day. Appetizers - shrimp cocktail (3 jumbo), crispy calamari which was excellent. A bit atypical of the standard Italian restaurant. Southern fried chicken was a bit bland. Had a thick crunchy coating. Halibut was tasty. Scallop salad (had the dinner portion which was still small) The scallops were amazing. There were all kinds of surprises in that dish. Something that looked like purple grapes were pickled green tomatoes. If I was a meat eater I would have gotten the steak salad which looked incredible with mouth watering rare slices. Service was excellent. Plenty of parking. Nice farm store

We went for our wedding anniversary on October 13th. It was a gorgeous night so we sat on the porch. The grounds are beautiful. Plenty of fall flowers and lots of amazing pumpkins. Did not sit at the firepit but it was very inviting. Food was amazing and service was great. We had the clam chowder and bacon rib to start. Both were amazing. For entrees we had the halibut and the salmon. Yum! Dessert was the bread pudding and chocolate mousse cake. An all around great experience. We will be going back soon.

Rustic charm. I suspect you'll find those two words in 99% of reviews of this restaurant. It's an accurate descriptor, but the experience was more true to form than I expected, not just some interior designer's interpretation of "rustic charm." For me it touched on something nostalgic. I spent a decent amount of my childhood on farms -- those where my friends lived or where their grandparents did, or where I tagged along with friends to multiple-day religious conventions. These farms were functional, not movie sets. Garden furniture, if it wasn't plastic, was always a little rusty, slightly askew on uneven ground. Paint was always peeling a bit (or a lot) somewhere. Glass windows were opaque with dirt. This is the vibe that PFATF evokes even though the restaurant itself is scrupulously clean and the sweet and capable wait staff are dressed in button-down shirts and ties -- far more presentable than we ever manage to be at dinner. The restaurant sits on a working farm and it feels that way. There is an old fashioned root cellar dug into a hill behind the main restaurant building. There were, in September, just a few rows of herbs (Thai basil, dill, etc...), late greens, and maybe broccoli plants in the garden by the parking lot. Given the on-location provenance of the produce on the menu, it's not surprising that we found just about everything vegetal at this restaurant to be delicious. ROASTED FARM BEETS ($19; goat cheese, cashew's & farm chili) were remarkably sweet where flavors and sugars had been concentrated by a long, slow roast. I loved that they were well tossed with goat cheese, which essentially melted into the dish. Cashews added some pleasant texture, chili kept the chevre from lulling your tastebuds into complacency. FARMER'S SALAD ($16; field greens, shaved farm veg, candied walnuts, manzanilla olives & feta) included a mixture of lettuces that the website tells me were grown on the farm. The greens were fresh, tossed with crisp, mild, thinly mandolined radishes, cucumbers, summer squash. Dressing was restrained and the remaining ingredients were in good balance, despite the candied walnuts being a touch burnt. BUCATINI ($26; farm basil pesto & sungolds, parmesan) was cooked al dente and generously tossed with basil mint pesto and freshly grated Parmesan. Oh -- I would be remiss not to mention the lovely strips of rosemary focaccia that the restaurant was kind enough to bring to the table at the start of the meal. It came with homemade, creamy farmer's cheese, flecked with crunchy grains of black salt, schmeared onto the plate for dipping. Where we found the menu less strong: the proteins. A generous plate of AMISH FRIED CHICKEN ($29; tangy red cabbage, scallion mash & herb gravy) was quite the vision. I half expected angels to break into song as the plate lowered to the table. But although the golden crust was thick, competently fried + blotted, and the chicken inside perfectly moist, everything was undersalted and seasoned . This could not be entirely counteracted by more saline elements on the plate such as the very buttery mashed potatoes or the red cabbage slaw -- quite acidic -- which had been tossed with thinly mandolined radishes, summer squash, and cucumbers in a lettuce-free redux of the Farmer's Salad. KINDERHOOK FARMS GRASS FED BURGER ($24; hudson valley farms cheddar & smokehouse bacon, frizzled onions & special sauce) came with a very thick, patty cooked to the requested medium rare temperature, topped with thickly sliced bacon (maybe short cut or Canadian bacon?), butter lettuce leaves, and cucumber quick pickles. The bun was excellent, fresh, fragrant, barely toasted. Perfect burger? Almost. Sadly the meat was under salted again and relied on its sidekicks for flavor. Maybe the greatest disappointment of the evening was the NOVA SCOTIA HALIBUT ($38; farm caponata & toasted walnuts, saba). The good: sweet, syrupy, raisiny saba was just lovely with the toasted walnuts, some of which had been turned into a puree I think and smeared attractively on the plate. Caponata included eggplants and garlic only as far as I could tell -- not the medley of tomato, eggplant, sweet peppers, onions and herbs that I expected, but delicious nonetheless. Less great: Halibut was rubbery in parts, undersalted and very bland, though the top and bottom had been pan fried to an attractive brown. I speculate that the texture was a result of improper defrosting -- perhaps something involving a microwave. (Not that I've ever done anything like that.... Definitely not me.... ;) Interestingly, the fish came garnished with carrot greens. Given the seafood heavy menu, I have to wonder if the kitchen just had an off night. There were enough wins at the meal to get us back at least once. In my fantasies, it will be in the spring when asparagus and ramps are coming up...

TLDR: crafted, well-portioned food/cocktails, great ambiance outside. on the expensive side and with some stricter policies / added fees when my partner suggested this spot for his bday dinner, i was a little hesitant based on the reviews. we also drove about 45 minutes for this place, but once i made the reservation, it was too late to cancel- as they charge a $25pp cancellation fee. the ambiance was quite nice- there's bonfire pits, music playing and outdoor lounge areas if you want to grab a drink before dinner. drinks will set you back around $17 each, but the cocktails are innovative. we thought we'd be able to wander around the farm, but seemed that wasn't the case really. had dinner in the garden- - bread (complimentary) really tasted home made rosemary focaccia, 1 slice per person - calamari- very tasty, tahini sauce, with crispy chickpeas - shrimp cocktail -3 shrimp for $22 made me roll my eyes - fried chicken entree- massive portion, delicious and hearty mash with a tangy slaw - swordfish with escarole/beans; fish was lovely with a great char. beans great. did not like the sausage added, very bit odd texture and reminded me more of ham hocks. the broth also had a bit too much acid for my taste. escarole was lacking and I wouldve enjoyed more than the 2 pieces in my serving. This could be considered nitpicky commentary but I was a bit surprised the dishes were not more veggie forward being as its a farm. I was also a bit surprised there was only one special (an appetizer), again- advertising as farm to table you would suspect the menu would be a bit more fluid and rotational with the season. from what I reviewed beforehand, it seems this menu is relatively the same always. service- upper-mid tier. bartender was friendly and enthusiastic, waiter was polite. just seemed to wait a long time without waters being refilled throughout the experience. additionally, our interaction with the farm storm cashier was a bit unfriendly there is a 4% added fee to your bill which is not tip and instead "to support the kitchen"- this annoys me, please just increase the prices in your menu vs tacking on an added fee in total with tip but excluding drinks, about $165 for a dinner for 2. fair considering it's a special occasion.

Purdys Farmer & the Fish has been in my periphery for a while; while it was never on the front burner for me, I had always heard good things about it and one of my colleagues in particular would always laud it. My cousins and I were looking for a place to eat and catch up, and since Purdys was centrally located for all of us, we decided to check Farmer and Fish out for dinner. PF&F very much epitomizes the whole farm-to-table concept (though it did not originate it). In addition to the property here in Purdys, they also run a similar restaurant in Tarrytown (called Hudson Farmer & the Fish). In addition to the actual restaurant, the property also has a farm as well as a farm shop. The restaurant itself is in what looks like a farm house - it's cute on the exterior with a front porch for outdoor seating. The inside is smaller than I thought - it's lively and a little tight with a good amount of tables packed in there as well as a bar. The decor is rustic with dark wood tones cast against white stone tabletops. Judging by the name, I was expecting a good selection of seafood on the menu. I found that, however it leaned heavier on fish than I had initially thought; non-seafood dishes were limited. The menu has a good selection of dishes broken down by apps, salads, mains, sandwiches (called "fries on the side"), raw bar selection, and sides. We started with drinks - I went with their version of a Moscow Mule which was smooth and refreshing. For my app I went with the crab cake; this was really good - not overly bready with lots of crab. It was paired with a tasty aioli and these thin crispy noodles to add texture. For my main I went with the lemon sole; again, this was super tasty - the fish was flaky and came with a corn-parmesan risotto that had a lot of flavor. We also decided to get two sides to share - polenta fries and shrimp fried rice. The fries were good - they kept their shape and came with a tasty dipping sauce. The rice was great - it was less rice per se and more shrimp and broccoli, but I wasn't complaining; it also had a lot of flavor. We opted for dessert - I got the key lime bar which was the perfect size and a good finisher to the meal. Service was spotty; everyone was friendly, however not all of the apps were served at the same time, and there was a delay in one of the sides coming out with our mains. That's a pet peeve of mine, so IMO they can tighten it up a bit in that department. Service was also a little slower than I'm used to, but I'm not sure if that was a one-off when I was there or just how the restaurant operates. Despite this, I had a good time at PF&F; the food is definitely the crown jewel here - it was all fresh and high quality with great flavor. This is definitely a highlight in Northern Westchester, and I would return to explore more of their menu.

We had a really great experience here! We started off with getting some baked goods from the shop. Everything we got was really good!! The baked goods change on a daily basis. The menu also changes but item that stood out to me was the scallop salad. OMG I would order that alone as my entree. It's so delicious! Service and vibes were both really good. Highly recommend!

Oysters were perfect! Sat in the garden for the first time. Honestly preferred it over the tightly squeezed tables inside and on the porch. Servers were pleasant and super engaging! Shout out to the Matthews squared and shwimby???!! Does tend to close earlier than most places; especially weekends. Props to the new additions to the menu

When visiting friends in upstate New York we went to this restaurant for dinner. We went later into the evening so we weren't able to see the full grounds of the establishment but the farm feel was very evident. We dined with our pup so we ended up sitting outside. With jackets, hats and the heat lamps we were plenty warm. Amazing clam chowder and mussels to start, excellent cocktails and wine by the glass selection and my steak was perfectly done. They also gave ample parking and a small store on site too. Lovely place for a night out.
