    A perfectly lovely evening of beautiful wine, excellent food (the green salad was a highlight and fresh and delicious!) and lovely ambiance and service. Highly recommend going to Farmer's Daughters while on an evening out in the CBD.

    Not sure if it’s because I got there early (I’ve seen some negative posts), but the service was great, food came out in good timing and was yum. I would rather pay for that than some of the food options downstairs.
