    The bartender, John, was absolutely great! My friend and I dined at the bar for a girls night out and John was very friendly and the drinks were top tier! We will definitely be back!

    Service was AMAZING!!!!! Food was NOT good. 2 pasta dishes - BOLOGNESE and KALE & BASIL PESTO PASTA and they were AWFUL!!!! Dry and over done - barely any sauce, absolutely no flavor. Waste of a lot of money! When this restaurant was FARMHOUSE, it was GREAT food, now it sucks. Will not be returning.

    It was the most moist flavorful chicken I’ve ever had. My daughter loved her fettuccine Alfredo . Our server was delightful and informative.

    Good service and atmosphere. Loved the N/A drink options. The $45 pre fixe was a great choice; good value and well executed dishes. Can’t wait to return

    After seeing the positive reviews we decided to try the brunch. I think they are still getting the schedule adjusted, cuz it took a few minutes to be asked for drink order after we got seated. We had the bottomless mimosas. The staff are friendly. Two out had the Land benedict, smoked salmon instead of ham. They come with great country potatoes. One of had the burger with an egg. It was huge and done perfectly. We brought half of it home. We were able to take our time. The bottomless mimosas have a 1.5 hour time limit. That was perfect time for us. This place has definitely upped its game.
