    The atmosphere at Julep Farm was amazing...soothing and comforting, and service was amazing. My server Melissa and bartender Brice went above and beyond, patiently answering all my inquiries and making every effort to accommodate my requests (quote from Melissa when I asked if I could get a side Caeser salad not on the menu: I can make it happen, I work for you! :)). The trout was seasoned to perfection and my cocktail was delicious and crafted with care. I can't wait to go back on Thanksgiving and taste all of their amazing dishes on the buffet! This is my new favorite restaurant.

    Food was spectacular with a wide variety of choices for any palate. It was hard making a decision on what to order because everything looked delicious. Ended up getting the scallops with cauliflower risotto, the shaved Brussels and carpaccio. Wow. Can’t wait to go back and see what else I can try. Five stars all the way! Congrats to Chef Andrew Featherstone for another bright spot on Main Street. You’ve outdone yourself! And, Roula always makes everyone feel so welcomed and special.
