    What a lovely evening with delicious from scratch courses! Excellent customer service and small portions to allow a blend of a 3 course meal. Loved the paired flavors and cute intimate atmosphere. Will be back and highly recommend! I had the dumplings, filet minion, and panicotta.

    This is not your place for a cheap quick dinner with large quantities, hubbub, and large TV's. Quiet, romantic, Farm Kitchen style, incredibly well prepared. Friendly, accommodating staff. Pricey, but well worth the taste and the experience!

    Sunday Easter Brunch was definitely excellent from service to menu selections. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable about items on the brunch menu. We always enjoy eating at Midlothian Chef’s Kitchen or their other restaurant 1870.

    Easter brunch - our waiter was delightful and perfect in every way. Mimosa was good. Appetizer of sweet potato bisque with sage and bacon foam was delicious 10/10. First time eating soft shell crab...soft shell crab Benedict with poached egg, sundried tomatoes and spinach on toast. Just a tad too many sundried tomatoes but still delicious 9/10. Vanilla-basil panna cottage with strawberries 9/10. Overall, except for the sundried tomatoes, really delicious. For having some small (very well-behaved) children and lots of conversation, it was not that noisy/loud at all.
