   We had a reservation for outside dining. Yet when we arrived the hostess told us it was too hot to get servers to work outside. Then why take reservations that way? We went there for the very purpose of dining outside. Of course it’s warm, its August in Washington! Embrace it. Ultimately they sat us outside and our server Chris was a great. Food was OK. We had 2 entre salads and an appetizer - shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls were not really spring rolls as they were deep fried and long tubes with almost no filling. True spring rolls are light and healthy. Being in China town, I would expect you to get it right. Cocktails were vey good. They were out of tuna for me salad and and no beers were available.

   Despite booking I was left standing round near the entrance for 10 minutes while groups who hadn’t booked were seated first - not great when you’re on your own on business travel and feel uncomfortable dining out anyway. The food was ok, but over priced and I wasn’t provided with a steak knife with my meal - it was brought out after I’d started. There was no beer on tap as they were broken. And to top it off, while I was finishing my cheesecake, a mouse was scurrying round my feet. This was pointed out to my server who didn’t seem too worried and explained it was due to the heavy rain we’d had. First time in the US and first time at one of these restaurants - not the best.

   We had a nice meal with pretty good service tonight, other than the mussel pot…mussels were sandy and overcooked.

   Overall this place is great and highly recommend. It was a bit busy while we were there and it took a while to get some of the drinks we ordered. That’s really the only critique I have of the place. Server was very friendly, food was outstanding, drinks were unique and good, and for downtown DC the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place worth trying and that I’ll go to again.

   We arrived on time. Placed order for drinks. Then apps. Then our entrees. The drinks came out. They were just ok. The apps come out, we ordered the garlic & pepper wings and fried green tomatoes. The wings were good, the tomatoes were ok. They were super big and the had panko instead cornmeal which made the tomatoes have to much breading. They bring out the entrees. My sister had the southern chicken salad fried. It was dry. She said the chicken tasted like croutons. My order is placed in front of me and it’s wrong. I ordered the Glazed Cedar Planked Salmon. The order that came out was the Seared Tuna. It took a min for our server to come to the table as the restaurant was getting busier. When she did I told her the order was wrong and she took it back and said it should be out shortly. We weren’t paying attention to the time but our server came back with my order and it was wrong again. They did get the protein right but it was the salad entree which I didn’t want. She took that back and we again weren’t watching the time and she came back and my food still hadn’t arrived. She was heading back to find out what happened and I told her to just take it off the bill. Server was good just behind. And a manager NEVER came to the table to apologize or see if there was anything they could do to accommodate me. I’ve worked in the food service industry for over 10 yrs. And with this many problems a mgr would’ve visited the table at least once.

   Farmers & DistillersResponded 4 days agoHi, Cheryl. I am terribly sorry that we did not give you a great visit and we just could not get it together with your entrée. I am happy to read that we were able to take off the item from your bill. I would love the opportunity to connect with you further.

    My experience was horrible and I will be following up with the corporate office. The manager, Geneva, was extremely rude and ruined our dining experience. We requested booth seating and were told we were not allowed to sit there because we were a party of two. However, the entire section was filled with parties of two sitting in booths. This manager created a huge scene and was very nasty about the situation. I have dined with Founding Farmers for years and have never experienced anything but great service until this past Sunday.

    We were sat when the reservation time was without any wait. However after being seated no one ever came to get drink order or anything. After 10 minutes I asked the host if we had a server and she didn’t seem to know. We ended up serving ourselves at the buffet and also getting our own silverware. Finally someone came over and got the drink order. The buffet was good but looked like it had been ransacked hours earlier. Most items were gone or half gone. Not sure it’s worth the price tag compared to other restaurants.

    Farmers & DistillersResponded 6 days agoThank you so much for joining us for our brunch buffet. I am so sorry to read about the delay in being greeted. As well as the buffet not being replinshed during your visit. It seems we gave you a bumpy experience. Hopefully, you will give us an opportunity to give you a great experience from start to finish. We look forward to you giving us another try. -Tiffany

    The menu did not specify that the facility only provides a brunch buffet on weekends and their regular menu (displayed on the website) on weekdays only. Additionally, the buffet was also not covered during an active pandemic, this was very concerning as customers were actively walking in and out of the facility and up to the buffet.

    When we travel to DC, eating at Farmers and Distillers is always a must. Before today never had an issue. However, today we went to the Sunday brunch buffet. Food was not kept hot, many items were not being replenished quickly, and what we did get to try was of poor quality. Eggs Benedict was over cooked and eggs were Like boiled eggs. Biscuits, when they finally came out, were dry and tough. Nothing I tried was good. Service wasn’t great. Hard to get waitress attention and drinks refilled. I think they do amazing food, but buffets are not their forte. I will go back but for regular menu. I will say the manager was nice and wanted us to be happy.

    It took about 50 minutes to get our food after it was ordered. The food was really good and so were the cocktails. It is also located in a good spot. I would return even though the wait for the food was frustrating.

    No. Just no. I’ve never rated a restaurant so low. I went here pre-Covid and the service was terrible, but decided to give them one more shot yesterday - 0 improvement. No one greeted us at our table or brought us water for at least 15 minutes and they weren’t even that busy. I’m very easy to please food-wise but the food was hardly edible (do NOT get the shrimp scampi / gnocchi - the gnocchi was GREY and suuuuper soggy) The whole experience was terrible from start to finish. Never again!!

    We had our entire family there for dinner and we all had a great time. The chicken was fabulous and the other dishes were good as well. We had a good service person. It was available a lot until the very end when it seemed he got busy and was not around as often. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. Great time.

    I've been going to this family of restaurants for more than ten years and I sadly feel like the quality of the food has gone from good to so-so. I appreciate that there is something on the menu for everyone but my last few visits have left me with a disappointing salad and very overcooked beef in a french dip. The service has been inconsistent. One server was pretty good and the other forgot we existed (we sat outside both times). It's nice that they have outside seating but it's bare bones in that there aren't umbrellas for the tables or anything to make it look even a little bit decorative. We go here for work lunches because my team has a history of going here and there's some nostalgia to it but I wouldn't be going here with my friends.

    Farmers & DistillersResponded on July 30, 2022Thank you so much for your feedback, Lisa. I am so sorry we have not been up to par these recent visits. I will be sure to share your review with the team. Hopefully, you will return to give us another try. I know our team can do better, and give you a great experience from start to finish. -Tiffany
