    Everything was very pleasant. Servers were very good, food was excellent. The only thing I did not enjoy was the Saxophonist who was TOO loud. It was impossible to hear one's partner speak because of his music. He was not necessary.

    Good service. Peter was very nice and on top of things. The food runner young lady with grey highlights was not as friendly but I guess everyone could have an off day. Our brunch arrived 2 minutes after our appetizer! Didn't really give a chance to enjoy it before food arrived. But food quality was very good and the saxophone player definitely elevated the ambience.

    Our reservation was found immediately and we were seated right away. However the server starting taking care of the guests that arrived behind us first. When she arrived at our table we ordered coffee with some biscuits to start. Biscuits arrived, coffee did not, had to ask as she hadn’t noticed. $9 biscuits were so hard, dry and salty - could not eat them. Lavender honey had no lavender flavor, orange butter about the same. We both ordered omelets which were very nice, but not extraordinary. Smoked bacon was fun to receive and tasted great. Best part of the meal was the live saxophone player. He was extremely talented and played the most lovely music which no one (other than me and my husband) applauded. I don’t know if guests forgot how to be polite or were just too pretentious- either way, this is likely our last visit.

    The reviews did not disappoint. The food was outstanding! I love pizza so I had to try and it was delicious! I couldn’t put my finger on what ingredients were making it taste so good, because it all looked so common. The wife had the stake and OMG! Never had stake taste so good. Don’t take my word, it’s a MUST try. Great place to take the significant other!

    Wait service was not the best. Food showed up right after appetizer. All orders were not complete. One of the couples food came out together. We had ordered a salad and a pizza. We had finished our meal, with no pizza. If we would not have reminded waitress about it, it probably would have been missed altogether. Not the typical level of food or service as we have had in the past.

    Charming beautiful setting in the country! Loved the ambience, decor and the food! Perfect place for special dinner, celebration or romantic evening. Scharina, our waitress was delightful and knowledgeable. We sampled two appetizers the Shishito peppers and the foccacia bread... aaaamazing! The seasonings were perfect blends and really enhanced the flavors. We enjoyed cocktails and wine with dinner. Two of us sampled the hamburger and fries and the fries were the BEST! One of us had the fresh fish and it was delicious. Many gluten free options for those of you looking. Highly recommend the restaurant and drive in the country!

    We were there to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and our anniversary. Unlike other restaurants I have been to, when they know someone is there for a celebration, they wish the person a happy birthday in some way. I was hoping they would have said something to him. We both enjoyed the biscuits with their lavender honey and orange butter. I had the loaded croissant which was excellent. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles and they were okay. I had tasted it too and it didn’t taste like there was any salt, pepper or anything else for flavor on his chicken. Waffles were fluffy and pretty good. I wanted to say something to the waitress about the chicken but didn’t want to have him wait longer for his food. I understand the reviews now where it sometimes seems the food is hit or miss here. I want to return, perhaps for pizza, but I am hesitant. We’ll see. The staff there is friendly, they let us know we could walk the grounds and enjoy the game room and other areas on the property. It is a beautiful place for a special occasion. Thank you

    First of all, the food was fabulous! Towards the end of the meal we ordered coffee with dessert. I asked specifically for cream and was told you do not have cream but do have milk. I’ve never been to a restaurant of your caliber that didn’t have cream. My husband inquired at the hotel desk about the rooms (libation, how many, etc.) as we thought it might be a fun get-away. The response was to check the website for any hotel information. I stopped at one of the restrooms before we left and it needed cleaning - toilet paper on the floor and the toilet itself was dirty.

    Ki, our server, was very good. Can't beat the Vineyard for a beautiful place to enjoy a meal. Disappointed in the food: the chicken was extremely dry and we did not eat it. It actually seemed that everything (biscuits, waffles) were just not as good as they should have been. The kitchen was good to adjust the bill. I am hoping this was just an off day as well will give it another chance

    I love this restaurant for the atmosphere. It’s beautiful and special. The food is good. The service has never really met my expectations. Today the server didn’t provide accurate information on how the egg would be cooked. Told me over easy. It was scrambled. When the server came to take my plate she dropped the flatware in my lap leaving a mess on my blouse. The croissant sandwich was tasty although I would have preferred the egg over easy and eaten it with a fork and knife.

    We had a wonderful evening out at the Vineyard. We had reservations for dinner at Farmer’s Commons and hung out listening to music for a bit. Our server, Georgia (from Georgia!) was great! She was very personable and knowledgeable. We chatted about lots of things throughout our dinner. She was attentive and very upbeat! We had a coupon and when it came time for the bill it slipped her mind to apply it. We didn’t catch it, but shortly after a manager found us outside and told us they were going to make it right. The restaurant was quite generous with us. Georgia brought our new bill out to us and tried to not accept a tip because she forgot to apply the original discount. Of course we tipped her!! We’re all human!! I highly recommend the Vineyards at Florence, Farmer’s Commons and Georgia!

    We had a reservation and were seated promptly but the first thing the server said was "I'm running behind and I'll be with you shortly." That was the last time we saw her and ended up being waited on by her assistant waiter. My drink never came and I was told it was delivered to another table. It finally came out but wasn't comped. The food was just okay and menu is fairly limited. Our waiter assistant tried hard and we tipped her well but honestly the service was just a little off. Beautiful place and nice ambience. I wish food was better because we really loved the setting.

    This is a gem in Florence. We drove 40 minutes on a Friday night for a special date night and it did not disappoint. We started in the tasting area with a flight of whites. Georgia was our server for our dining experience and was amazing. She provided us with great descriptions of meals and cocktails. She did not steer us wrong. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. Special enough to jazz up any date night or dinner with great friends. They are true to their word about farm to table. All aspects of our meal tasted fresh. Well worth the drive and we left with a great bottle of wine. This will definitely be our destination for our out of town visitors or special occasions.
