Farmer's Table opens for dinner
Tonight is opening night for The Farmer's Table restaurant, located in the old Mim's spot on Commercial Street. When I stopped by this morning, food was being delivered, lights were being hung and chef/owner Jeff Landry was still smiling. Landry, who is the former executive chef of Eve's at the Garden and has worked at Cinque Terre and the Harraseeket Inn, is partnering with his wife, Suzie Altemus-Landry, on this venture. He also told me that the two of them are looking into possibly purchasing the Old World Gourmet in Freeport, which would allow them to offer catering since there's no room for it at this spot.
The interior looks really great, with muted tones, white linens and an open kitchen. There are seats for 40 downstairs, 16 upstairs and, come summer, another 45 outside. I could hear the relief in Landry's voice when he told me the city approved his liquor license just this morning.
Here's tonight's menu, which will change daily. It emphasizes locally-grown, raised and caught food. The restaurant's not taking reservations this weekend, instead seating will be on a first come, first served basis. Doors open at 5 pm and the restaurant is located at 205 Commercial St.
