The food was great, but it was so busy that you end up waiting hungry to get food when gaggles of people walk in at once. They were quick to replace food that ran out. Drinks were so-so but I think we just picked drinks that weren’t for us.

This was my second visit to Ashling. It is a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly. Shout out to Carolina who responded to and anticipated needs. The food was served in a timely manner and hot. Even my delayed guests were able to get their food pretty quickly. Everyone loved their dishes and I will be back!

We couldn’t have been more impressed with the service and the great food. Everyone in our party of four had something different and each meal was delicious and came with more than ample servings. The service was top notch across the board from our charming waitress to the busboys delivering and clearing our plates. Without question all of us will come back and spread the word amongst our local friends that The Farnhouse is a must for lunch or dinner.
