We went to Agraria for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised. It is the sister restaurant of Founding Farmers, another new family favorite. The restuarant is located on the Georgetown Waterfront and many of the seats have a clear view of the windows which allows patrons to take in the beauty of the harbour. The service was a little slow especially considering there weren't many people in the restuarant.
Overall, the food was pretty good. We were encouraged to try to chocolate covered bacon lollips. No that is NOT a mistake. The waiter talked it up and we decided since it was restaurnt week, why not try something completely ridiculous. They were a nice balance of salty and sweet and completely unlike anything I've ever had. I think the fact the chocolate is dark and not milk made the combination work well together. My husband and I shared this interesting appetizer and a salad. The salad was excellent; made with extremely fresh ingredients! Our entrees were also fairly good. My husband got the cowboy pan fried chicken (the portion was too huge) which was very tasty and I got the grilled salmon, also very good. Be sure to ask for the salmon medium if you don't want it dry and overcooked. My fresh berry cobbler was good, but my husband's carrot cake completely missed the mark. Stay away from the the carrot cake!
The bathroom was great! It was very clean, a little on the dark side and nicely decorated. There was a changing table in the last stall and it was placed a lot lower than most changing tables. This was a plus for me for two reasons. 1. I'm short so it was easier for me reach the baby. 2. It allowed me to use the facilities and keep my hand on the baby. They have a state of the art hand dryer and no paper towels for drying. Ordinarily I would like this, but my daughter does NOT like loud noise, so I had to leave with wet hands.
Overall a good place, but I think we prefer Founding Farmers.
