    Neat place to eat. The service was fine. Food was not good at all. Got a steak and the cut of meat was amazing but it had absolutely zero flavor. Had grits and they were dry and zero flavor as well.

    We enjoyed our brunch at Castle Farm! A warm welcome, great food and service has insured our return visit. It was also very nice to take advantage of all the photo ops at the Castle. A perfect day.

    The castle has been one of our favorite dining places since opening, especially for special occasions and out of town guests. This was our first visit of the year, and we were disappointed in the food and menu for the first time ever.  Our signature favorites were no longer on the menu and food was average at best (and we sampled much of the menu!). Definitely not the level of wow we have been accustomed to.  The price has always been worth the food, but left much to be desired. Not sure we will be back for dinner- it’s quite a distance from us and the quality and value left much to be desired. Would consider brunch at some point in hopes it is a better experience.

    Food took over 1-1/2 hours to arrive. The entrees were way over priced. The sharable sides were even worse. The food was unremarkable. The staffing was inadequate. The castle was different but not justification for the poor food value. The end comment is ok we did that and don't have to do that again. We would recommend a drive by to see the castle.

    The waiter said the food is 15 mins behind. It took an hour and a half for my food to come out. It could have been because there was a wedding going on at the same time but 1 1/2 hours is excessive.

    The wait for drinks the wait for salads to wait for entrées was miserably too long. The restaurant was not packed. The food was fair. Nothing I would order again, but fair the price displayed nothing but greed on the part of this establishment. The young lady that waited on us was very kind, the appearance of the staff, the quality of the food and the level of service did not align with the price on the menu or the ambience of the castle. The score right now is Castle one me and my date zero. We won’t be back.

    Best Farm burger I have ever had. Although our appetizer, soup, and my coffee was mildly warm, on the verge of cold, and I thought that was odd. First place I’ve been to were all the food is…pretty much cold.

    It was delicious! We started with lamb meatballs, for the main courses, we had the filet and the salmon. Amazingly tender filet, salmon was hot from the first bite to the last. Split a side of crispy sliced beets, if beets always tasted like that, I'd eat them daily! Split apple cobbler with cinnamon ice cream for dessert. Fantastic.

    Poor service. Waitress kept disappearing and manager would see us looking for her and send her back. Never got drink refills. Hamburger was bland and so I only ate half of it. Waitress asked if it was okay and I told her and she okay and walked away. Our table was in a corner that smelled and we sat next to a 1 year old that screamed for the entire hour. Glad to say I went but I won’t go back.

    Everyone was very polite. They were understaffed, so we waited almost an hour to get our lunch. We were lucky a waitress explained they were short staffed in the kitchen and dining room. The food was excellent and the facility was beautiful.

    Great food and once again a great dining experience. I enjoyed a romantic dinner with my spouse to celebrate our wedding anniversary and i was very satisfied. A perfect night out. The staff helped make our night special by accommodating my special request for some flowers to be available for our table. I like that small bit of courtesy to make our night together even more special with a little personal care and touch.

    Our first time visiting the KY Castle and restaurant, what a wonderful experience! We had a party of 9 with not one complaint. The food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. We all enjoyed our brunch orders, a favorite was the blueberry cornbread starter and the white chocolate waffle. Drinks were delicious too! We will return!

    My wife and I went for a late anniversary dinner. The experience of being at a castle was everything I expected it to be. The grounds and the decor on the inside were spectacular. It truly is a breathtaking place. With that being said, let me say the dining experience wasn’t up to par. Our waitress was nice, but wasn’t as attentive as she should have been. We sat with empty glasses, during the majority of our dining time. She did apologize for this towards the end. The bread board was wonderful, the presentation of the entrees and sides were great, but they tasted terrible. We definitely left disappointed. I had the local beef filet it was charred on the outside more than it should’ve been. Our macaroni and cheese side was cold and tasteless. I was really hoping that the food and service would’ve matched the rest of the experience. If you’re gonna to offer upscale dining then it needs to be just that. We paid well over $100 for our meal and it should’ve been one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten, but sadly it was one of the worst.

    If I could give a negative star for the food I would. It was extremely overpriced and truly bad. It was actually difficult to force myself to eat it. The servers were very nice and the property is beautiful. The expirence was nice, just avoid the restaurant.

    The service was amazing! The food left something to be desired. The steak was overcooked, noodles and potatoes were undercooked and the price was high for the quality. The rooftop was closed but overall, we had a good time. We will return in the future for a cocktail and rooftop pictures, but will not reserve for a meal in the future
