I am frustrated with the experience because with a few service improvements this restaurant experience could have gone for okay to great. First, the staff consistently brought more plates out before clearing the old ones forcing us to find a room to set them down. Second, the staff brought out a steak without a steak knife requiring me to request one or cut with a butter knife. Also, it seems like a nice enough restaurant where I would expect the restaurant to box up leftovers instead of the diners doing it themselves. On top of that I asked for the wine menu back when ordering dessert and the waiter came with the bill instead of the menu. Finally, this my smallest complaint, but when the reservation asks the reason for the visit and I write down it is an anniversary, I expect someone at the restaurant to acknowledge the anniversary. I saw many other tables with celebratory things for the anniversary but for us it was a normal dining experience. To add on, the tiramisu came in a plastic dish instead of glass. Overall food was good but I expected an elevated experience. The additional cost wasn’t worth it even though the atmosphere is beautiful.

Flies were all around us while eating. Waitress finally brought a fly fan. Food and service were not fantastic. A huge disappointment. Cannot believe such a beautiful place was not better.

I returned on a Friday night for dinner with my love 😌 and we had a new server named Anna who was so kind and accommodating and made sure to stay in communication with us so that everything was to our liking. The outdoor sunset and live music band was great with an amazing music choice lineup. The food as always was delicious. Definitely a night to remember.

The restart is gorgeous! Ambiance beautiful! Landscape serene. Their only downfall both times I’ve been, has been their service. The servers are unprofessional on every level as well as disheveled appearance. Sloppy hair and makeup and no smiles or personality at all. All aspects of service were wanting. Yet the place is so amazing! I have not idea who does the hiring or management of staff. Please get some professional servers in there and the place would be a hit!! It has everything going for it! Food is fantastic as well! Won’t be back due to staff though. They are losing out on high end clients for sure.

We reserved a Table for 4 at Farmers Commons on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at 12:00 pm. Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Our table was waiting for us with a "Happy Birthday" sign as we had invited two friends to celebrate their recent birthdays. The waitress and food were awesome. She brought our guests free birthday desserts and very sturdy boxes for us all to bring our delicious leftovers home. After our meal, we visited and played games at a table outside. The view outside was lovely just like it was inside. also, the bathrooms were clean and easy to find!
