Farm House Cafe Revisit: Ok but not great

Revisited Farm House Cafe with great anticipation...had such a spectacular meal last time I had instantly named it my 3rd favorite restaurant in SD.

Tonight: ok, not great. Probably wouldn't make the trip to go back.

Bread: still very good

App: Ordered the burrata salad. Someone on yelp said it was boring, someone else said it was amazing. Took a chance....it was tasty but not anything special.

Entree: DH thought his steak was just ok. I went for the veggie entree. Menu online showed an amazing-looking risotto with lots of Crow's Pass veggies. Instead, the veggie entree tonight was essentially corn three ways: corn cakes (corn + polenta + corn broth), with more corn on top. No other veggie on the plate. I like corn, but I'd rather not eat a plate full of starch. They were very good corn cakes, though, the highlight of the meal.

Dessert: Respectable flourless chocolate cake, with a tasty strawberrgy sorbet.

Wine: $13 glass of Terlato Cabernet Franc. I liked it, but it wasn't spectacular for $13.

In sum: enjoyed meal, but no need to rush back. And it has lost its post on my faves. New list!

#1: Searsucker still (after 3 revisits)
#2: Alchemy still (because Ricardo Heredia is and always will be a badass - hasn't let me down yet)
#3: Charisma: still loving it after 2 meals
