Farnham's is better in many ways than Woodman's. The help is much nicer for one thing. It's on the water side too. When I asked for a teeny cup of tartar sauce there was a charge at Woodman's and looking over the drink prices while waiting for our order a manhattan was $5.25 for godsake! I put Woodman's right up there with Legal Seafoods as the biggest rip-offs of there individual type. The Village was always good, but haven't been in years. Lewis's on 133 in Essex, though not in the thick of the tourist area and not at all picturesque, is a very decent meal at a realistic price and drinks are reasonable.
