Epiphany Farms - Bloomington

The food was absolutely amazing. Chef Ken stopped to say hello and explain some of his philosophy behind the courts that was cool. Everyone orders the potato gratan one of the best things I've ever eaten. The bar was secured, and the drinks came out very slowly, but otherwise it was a great experience.

We had reservations for 4 at 6:30. When we arrived, we were told that the kitchen was behind us and it would be at least 20 minutes before we could sit. There was no room at the bar, so we stood in the entrance until we finally sat at 7. Once sitting, our waiter was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, very entertaining. He helped with a microbrewery and wine selection. Then we waited. At 8 we started to ask for our meals. The kitchen sent an appetizer to keep us. At the end, meals were 8:30. Problem was, we had plans at Jazz UpFront to be around 8. So we started to worry about being at the table in the club. The food was well presented, but not delivered to his promises. It wasn't really bad. But it just didn't hit the taste notes you would expect for presentation and price. The meatballs were dry. Duck's chest was Bland. Gumbo was good, like the butterfish. Pig meat was moderate. As the title suggests, a mixed bag of results.

Our meal was excellent with a couple of exceptions. The food preparation and presentation were very well done. Highly recommend having the corn bread as an appetizer. It was great as a starter. The entrees were excellent especially my duck which was the best I have ever had. No fruity toppings here, just a well cooked duck breast with good spices. The other entrees were also well enjoyed. Why not 5 stars for food, the vegetables were only just warm and they received a mixed reaction. Of course the restaurant is dealing with winter vegetables which are not the most exciting. Also, it was very crowded which probably affected the kitchen and the restaurant was rather noisy. The service was also excellent. The amount of attention to the needs of the diners was evident and not intrusive. Will definitely return and recommend. Wish we could add half stars as the restaurant is definitely 4 and a half.

First time dining at Epiphany Farms, and it was fabulous. The pan seared butter fish in coconut curry was the best I've had. The vegetarian chef's entree was great too. My new favorite restaurant in B-N.

Very attentive service with a great grasp of the menu and the food preparation. Highly recommend a visit!
