Food and service was top-notch. We had a fantastic 16th birthday dinner for our son. Not somewher we can afford to eat regularly, but for a special occasion it was worth the splurge.

Farmstead Table should be everyone's "go to" restaurant when you need a special yet unpretentious restaurant. The staff are friendly (but not seeking to be your new best friend) and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is low key, nicely decorated, and NO TV! The food is very creative and extremely delicious, and with offerings that you would not find elsewhere. Farmstead Table is a favorite for brunch or lunch. I have not yet enjoyed its dinner menu but have no doubt that it's equal to the task if not better.

Neroli's is wonderful! This was our second time there. We had the chicken under a brick and the carbonara. Both were delicious. We had three flavors of gelato for dessert. So creamy and delish. Our waitress was amazing! We had lots of laughs with her and she was so nice. We'll be back next week! New favorite place!
