It's a pleasant experience to order good ravioli. The atmosphere is exotic, as clients find it. Based on the visitors' feedback on Google, this bar deserved 5.
Lovely family owned restaurant in Wonewoc, Wi. Happy smiling service. Great food: my locally sourced salad with tasty blue cheese dressing and french onion soup was outstanding. My husband thought his steak could have been better (less tough) but the deserts, a raspberry cobbler and chocolate pudding, were delicious. Lovely touches, like a welcome sign at our table. I highly recommend.

Superb dining experience beginning to end. This hits all the marks. Friendly greeting the moment we entered and that added touch with our name chalked in the reservation marker. They are only open a few nights a week for a couple hours and they absolutely optimize it with the fresh farm ingredients. We had the special swordfish, walleye, and salmon. Each was excellent full bodied and delicious. I have asparagus and a mashed sweet potato. Every bite beginning to end confirmed the choice of visiting. Halfway through the chef checked on us stating if anything wasn’t up to standards he could adjust. If you are around on the weekend…DO NOT pass up the opportunity. You’ll be thanking yourself without a doubt.

We had the pleasure of our first dining experience at Farm and Hearth Wood-fired Bistro tonight and we were beyond impressed.
They offer a charming, unique, and relaxing environment, and welcome you as their personal guest, not just another customer. They literally have a hand written reservation waiting for at your table (which was I felt was a really cool touch of awesomeness); and you can watch the meals prepared in their old style stone hearth oven.
Aside from the warm old country atmosphere, the quality and taste of the meal was superb. With seasonal entrées and drinks available, we left with satisfied appetites and will return again with friends and family.
This is a family owned and operated restaurant, and it reflects the quality and personal touch from a time when dining out was an intimate experience, not just a meal away from home.
Excellent farm to table restaurant with options for every palate. We had the teriyaki chicken and the seasonal ravioli as entrees and the crostini and gumbo as an appetizer. Delish! The wood fired vegetables had a distinct and unique flavor - superb! The cocktail menu was extensive and service was prompt and comfortable. I loved the easy atmosphere and historic charm. One of my favorite things was watching them cook in the oven through a window…it felt like being privy to something intimate and fascinating. We will definitely be back!
If you’re thinking about going, don’t think - JUST GO! This was one of the best meals I've ever had and since I am a big foodie from Milwaukee, that should say something! We didn't make a reservation but went on a Thursday night around 5:45pm and the waitress, Iris, (Chef Jeff's daughter) greeted us with a warm smile. Right as we walked in we felt at home, smelled AND saw Jeff cooking in the hearth through a glass window, and I just knew it was going to be a memorable meal.
Iris gave us menus to look over and I was very impressed with their list of cocktails that were both unique and affordable. The Spiced Cranberry Old Fashioned was sweet and warming and the Black Cherry Sling with their house made black cherry syrup was fruity and refreshing.
Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs for sure, but I don't regret a thing. My husband and I immediately decided on the bacon wrapped dates. They came 4 to an order, were crisp yet tender, and still sizzling in their cast iron dish. These were the best we ever had! The wood hearth made the sweet, salty, savory, crispy, smoky, and creamy flavors just sing. The roasted brussels sprouts came in a light olive oil and apple cider mustard glaze with cashews. Another layer of flavor from the fresh green apple slices on the side gave it a little zing and tartness to balance out the dish. The french onion soup was incredible! The onions were cooked perfectly, the broth was well balanced and not overly salty, with depth from the red wine. The provolone cheese was browned and bubbly on top.
Entrees: They had a local rainbow trout special and I couldn't recall the last time I had rainbow trout (if it all). It was cooked perfectly: flaky, moist, and the flesh slid away so easily from the skin. It was super fresh, mild and seasoned perfectly with flecks of sea salt, pepper, herbs, and butter topped with grilled lemon. The wood fired oven cooked the fish beautifully leaving the edges a tad bit crispy with a light smoky finish. That is all this fish needed and Chef Jeff did an incredible job knowing how to elevate this dish without adding heavy sauces that distract from the fish. For my side I chose their "sweet potato Crème brûlée" because that just sounded insanely good and I was not wrong. Soft, fluffy, buttery, and sweet served in a skillet. The entree also came with seasonal veggies and the carrots were slightly charred and tender. The wood fire really brought out the natural sweetness of the carrot. The dinner roll even deserves a shout out because that was also so good!
My husband ordered the seasonal ravioli and we were blown away yet again. The presentation was beautiful with four round raviolis topped with shaved parmesan on a bed of greens. Now these weren't just any bed of greens - the spinach was sautéed in the wood fired oven with red onion, sweet peppers, mushrooms and olive oil in a small skillet which created a byproduct of little crispy sweet vegetable morsels that I absolutely loved. I believe the filling was some sort of mushroom filling which was creamy and delicious. Don't you dare leave those greens on the plate. They’re not just a garnish!
The wood fired s'mores was a chocolate lover’s dream so it put my husband on cloud nine. The house made graham cracker was topped with a generous dollop of their house made marshmallows, plus a ton of chocolate. The graham crackers were my favorite since they added a slight saltiness to the sticky sweet dessert.
We were the last ones in the restaurant so we got to talking to Jeff and Iris. They brought us behind the glass window so we could see where all the magic happens. Jeff is so knowledgeable and charismatic and we could have chatted all night! Most importantly, Jeff has a deep passion for his craft which is evident in every single bite. There's something so natural and true about watching Jeff cook fresh food with fire and you need to experience it for yourself. Thank you so much Jeff and family - we will be back!
What a lovely, fantastic place! Service was top notch and our food was absolutely delicious! We look forward to coming back again! What a jewel to have such a place in our local community!

The food is amazingly delicious. We traveled a bit to get there and were extremely happy with that decision. The family run restaurant is warm and inviting, relaxed pace and local ingredients. If I lived in this area ( we were traveling through) I would be a regular. Watch for thier special events, one coming this September 2023.

Wish I had photos of the amazing food. Was too busy eating it up so quickly. The owners are so kind, a family run business with everyone involved. The cocktails were just as good as the food ☺️
This place was awesome! The food was cooked and prepared with tender loving care. The waitress was awesome as well and I thoroughly enjoyed this location. Great job!
