The Farmhouse at Turkey Hill has been our go-to place for special occasions. The food and service are always top notch. While not inexpensive, the pricing is reasonable for what you get. The menu varies over time and contains enough options that everyone in the party should be able to find something to order. In fact, figuring out which dish you most want is the hardest part of ordering. They do have vegetarian options. We are not vegetarians, but the cauliflower wings are a great appetizer. We usually go for an early seating, which makes for a quiet atmosphere. They do get very busy, and you will need to reserve well ahead of time for popular holidays such as Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. We will return here for most celebrations in the future. Every time we try another supposed up-scale restaurant, we end up disappointed.

The staff was amazing. We were seated promptly for our reservation and chose a great wine off of their tremendous wine list. Our charcuterie appetizer pleased the group as did every entree presented to us. Ask about their own Elijah Craig bourbon too!

Exceptional! Arrived about 10 minutes before the kitchen was closing and they were happy to accommodate us. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks and apps. Beckie and Mercedes provided outstanding service. And special shout out to Mario for the round of free drinks. In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger (sort of), “We’ll be bahhhckkk!”
