    Great place for brunch, but I really do feel that the Omelet guy needs another helper. It is a lot for him to control and take care of making omelets, waffles, etc. I would have quit a long time ago.

    Overall the experience is enjoyable. The waffles tend to be tough since the man making them cannot resist the urge to continually mix the batter, thus increasing the gluten and making the final waffle tough. The peg wall with donuts is just stupid. There is nothing appetizing about picking a pastry off of a plinko board. I expect to see the ghost of Bob Barker hovering overhead. Many of the deserts taste as though the were frozen and thawed for the morning. Many of the pastry simply are not fresh and the little menu board next to them does not reflect the actual selection variety available. And it's a bit pricey.

    The food is fresh and sourced locally with the menu changing every couple of months. It was delicious, creative, and had decent portions. The selection was also good. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and the location was charming with just the right blend of elegant rustic with modern touches.

    We love Farmer's Daughter. We often come here to celebrate a special occasion or just to meet friends for lunch or dinner. Our hostess, Tabitha, was so sweet and friendly. All of the Managers were attentive and kind. Our server was Megan. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We never felt rushed. The chicken salad and corn beef Raechel were delicious and the sweet potato fries were the absolute best especially with the special sauce that comes with them. Our friends had wedge salads with salmon. Everyone finished every bite. For dessert I had the salted caramel ice cream and it was the perfect end to a wonderful lunch. We can't wait to check out the new fall menu!

    An outstanding dining experience for my daughter's 24th birthday. Everyone was delightful. We were pleasantly surprised to see a birthday card on the table. Although to some a small gesture, to me - it was beautiful. The meal ended with a small birthday treat with a candle! Love, love, love! Highly recommend.

    The lamb chops were excellent with a great side. The salmon was over cooked and dry. It was served with a side of corn and mushrooms that didn’t seem to go together. The atmosphere was nice and we didn’t rushed. I witty it again but not the salmon!

    We ate outdoors and the ambience was very pleasant. We should have checked the menu online in advance because I was looking forward to having a shrimp cocktail and it was no longer on the menu. My wife ordered the special steak and asked for the hollandaise sauce to be left off and the meat cooked medium. The sauce was added and the meat was very rare. It also was quite pricey. We have enjoyed Farmers Daughter in the past and will definitely check the menu before going again.

    We sat outside on the terrace on a Friday night. The braised ribs were not that tender, the filet was perfect and the crabcake was lacking flavor. All in all I would try it again. The margarita flat bread was terrific!

    Excellent salad and gazpacho. Dining room tastefully decorated although the Ball canning jar drinking glasses I felt were odd in an upscale restaurant. Well maintained in a beautiful building (A former stable). Patio eating was available on a lovely late summer day.

    We loved the live music on the patio. Our appetizers and salads were delicious, my husband also had a steak that he enjoyed very much. I had the shrimp and jalapeño flatbread, and I did not think it was the best, I was disappointed, but the overall experience was very nice. We will be back.

    Service was disinterested, at best. Menu was fine but greens on our appetizer plate were “tired” for sure. Scallops a bit over cooked. Very limited options from the bar. I expected something more / different.

    The staff went above and beyond. We visited for our anniversary and upon arrival, we were greeted and wished a happy anniversary. There was also a card on the table wishing us a happy anniversary. Service was superb! The food and drinks were delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It was also like we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. It was a beautiful evening and most diners sat outside but we requested to sit inside. It was cool and quiet. We will definitely be back!

    I thought everything was delicious! My boyfriend felt mixed on the scallops dish and I felt like the mashed potatoes were a tad salty, but we both enjoyed our bone marrow, our wings, and I really enjoyed my short rib and vegetables. It was clear everything from the menu to the services was very thought through. We definitely plan on returning to try more delicious menu items.

    Went there for a business lunch. A young man was our waiter and he seemed ok to start with but started to hurry us up an hour into our dinner. we had ordered drinks and some appetizers. He wanted to get off his shift more than anything. It was a slow wednesday and there were may be 4 other tables that were occupied. My business collegues and I felt pretty awkward with the waiters attitude. He started making comments like "can i bring your check" 90 min into our dinner. We got there at 6.30 and by 8pm he wanted us to wrap up. Overall food was Ok. wine and beer collection was fine. The service was miserable, may be I was just unlucky. Not sure if i will go back.

    Beautiful set up, the omelet, waffle and carving stations were great, the food in heated trays were hard / dried out (French toast). Lots of variety. The desserts / pastries were also a little dried out / stale I guess from sitting out. Great salad and fruit options.

The food was phenomenal, you can taste the the freshness of the ingredients and the seasonings used. We will come back for sure. It's a hidden gem.

    Lovely dining experience. The outdoor dining space was very pleasant, the service was excellent and we enjoyed the food. The spinach and strawberry salad had a great combination of tastes and textures, and the scallop entree was also excellent. My husband enjoyed his roasted romaine salad, and thought the short ribs were just ok. He reported that while the sauce was tasty, he needed to request more of it as the meat was a bit dry. We both also enjoyed a delicious cocktail, and can’t forget the great assortment in the bread basket! Will definitely be back and will bring visiting guests.

    Our server was wonderful, front desk was ok, had reservations for 7PM , was told it'd be a bit of a wait for outdoor seating despite the fact that there were several open tables. So we sat indoors, nbd, Ordered the cheese board and cocktails to start. The person that brought our cheeseboard (not our server) gave no description of what were were being served. Just set it down and walked away. The cocktails were correct. My wife ordered a $40 porkchop and I ordered $40 crabcakes. My wife was told it's best prepared medium , and we agreed. So she order the chop cooked medium. The server said that would be like a hot pink color inside, we agreed. The chop was served well done to possible beyond well done (zero pink , zero hint of pink). the crabcakes were OK, the accoutrements were meh. I'm not a food snob, but if an expensive dish is ordered medium , it should arrive medium. And i'm not going to send something back , then wait. And i'm not going to try to get it removed from the bill. It is what it is. And therefore , my review is what it is. To be fair , we went on a Thursday night, maybe the A-team isn't on staff Thursday nights.

    We always have a good experience at Farmer's Daughter. We ate in the courtyard on a beautiful summer evening and enjoyed drink, the food, and the ambience. Even though it was not crowded (Monday evening in July), it took a little longer than anticipated to get the food to us, which is why I'm rating 4 stars instead of 5. Nevertheless, we will return in the near future.

    I suggest a better serving team. Not as professional or polished as a restaurant of this quality could be. My guest and I were surprised when our used silverware was removed from our plates and laid on the table. I would expect that we would be brought clean silverware considering the Farmer's Daughter presents as an upscale restaurant - not a local diner. The buffet options are very good. The food is delicious, so I would recommend the Sunday brunch to others.
