New Digs, Same Philosophy: Farmer’s Table Re-Opens on Restaurant Row

By |

After a short move across Forest St. and a lengthy renovation to the former Bistro Bonne Nuit space, Farmer’s Table quietly re-opened for business last week. “I love it here, it’s really, really nice,” chef/owner Robert Ubaldo told NewCanaanite.com.  “We’re kind of moving along slowly here because we have to accommodate all the changes we’re going to make. “

The most notable change is the space itself. The new Farmer’s Table has 46 seats, nearly three times as many as the previous restaurant.

Farmer’s Table To Reopen with Expanded Seating, Menu in New Forest Street Space

The Farmer’s Table restaurant on Forest Street on Tuesday closed its doors at number 21 as it started moving equipment and furniture across the road to number 12, where it’ll open within a couple of weeks, its chef and owner said. “That ought to be confusing enough, flipping those numbers around,” Robert Ubaldo said with a smile from the sunny sidewalk of New Canaan’s “Restaurant Row.” Ubaldo said a part of him is sad to leave the spot where the restaurant started three-plus years ago—formerly the Lindner motorcycle shop located next to the old Griffin Ford dealership. “It still had parts in the basement when we moved in,” Ubaldo recalled. A mixed residential-and-retail space is planned for the second half of the downtown Forest Street block.
