Vancouver Magazine's Timothy Taylor heads off to Farmer's Apprentice and finds "...an interesting room: equal parts hole-in-the-wall comfort station and mad scientist's lair" which presents as "...gastronomically geeked-out comfort fare". Does he like it? Well, the octopus "(only) came to life only when every component of the dish was precariously combined into a single bite" and the risotto "a brilliant Melmac green and perfectly cooked, though I'm not sure the bits of sea cucumber added much." Overall he declares it "never being quite so boring as to be merely lovable.'[Photo via Andrew Querner] [VanMag]
