    While the food was good, the service was S L O W. I don't know if it was a staffing issue -- not enough waiters, or there were problems in the kitchen.

    Truly baffled that my noted “special occasion” (on open table) luncheon, table of six, was exiled to a corner of the restaurant where extra chairs are stacked, the bus boy station is in full view and hot uncovered windows allow outside 96 degrees heat to beam down. It was quite an unspectacular experience for a ladies luncheon that included out of town and out of state guests. Once our food was delivered our server never even bothered to ask or check how our meal was or if there was anything needed.

    One pasta dish seemed like dough and undercooked, the next was hard and unflavored. Drinks were nice.

    Thank you for your honest feedback, Sarah. We’re sorry to hear the pasta dishes didn’t meet expectations but glad you enjoyed the drinks. We’ll share your comments with the kitchen as we work to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try. -Tiffany

    We were left at the table unattended for over 30 mins. That's unacceptable for a fine dining restaurant like Founding Farmer.

    Hi Michael. We are sorry to hear about the long wait and lack of attention during your visit. This is not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will address it with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the service you deserve. -Tiffany
