   Historic building, very nice setting, both inside and outside. Good sized portions. Farm to table with fresh and local vegetables.

   The service was disappointing and a concern as the last few times we’ve been in, seem to always have a server in training. There seems to be quite a bit of turnover.

   The Mother’s Day brunch buffet at The Farmhouse was fantastic - a superb selection of appetizers, including shrimp and Alaska King crab legs, main entrees, and deserts, along with excellent service. It was fun and the food was so good that all of us over indulged and ate too much. Would rate it as one of the best we have had (even though they did run out of coffee cups). Would definitely recommend.

   There was not enough server working that day and the service was very poor. They gave us a table with no cloth on, it was a prefixed menu for Mothers Day, little expensive for the quality of food .

   This was our first time here. There was quite a line to check in so good thing we had reservations (it was Mother's Day). We were initially seated at the terrace (brrrrr). Heaters were not doing the job. One of the water glasses was filthy. I mean crusted with brown stuff on the glass. Not to mention, our table was wet. Not a good first impression. We were finally move to a new table. The server was really nice. The manager, not so much (we were reseated in the high traffic area - she said "this OK" with a smirk). Ugh. At our new table... onto the Mother's Day buffet. We went on to pick our food. It was fine. Some of the brunch dishes were tasty, especially the lunch type items. Pasta, seafood were good. Breakfast items were variable. Eggs Benedict tasted ok. Waffles were good but my daughter had one with a big chunk of sugar. Not to mention, she found a hair in her potatoes. The biggest issue with the brunch was that they were constantly out of food, so you would see people hovering around waiting, frustrated. Not one dish, many. Waiters were pleasant. They tried their best. Our family pledged to pass on buffets in the future. For the price we paid for the brunch, I'd say we were underwhelmed. Certainly fell flat.

   We love a big buffet, in my family. Choices, drama, great food, Service, and time to enjoy it all. Add to that, crisp, colorful linens with flowers 💐 on the table and Farm to Table tastes, swizzled down with your favorite beverage- heaven! Get there! Make a reservation for any occasion.

   I go to the Farmhouse once or twice a month and I have to say I was disappointed this time. The food was just ok, the staff was disorganized and I would not quickly recommend this place as I have before

    The food was good. The service was sketchy. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Our friends were waiting at the bar when we arrived. As the hostess led me and my wife to our table, she stopped to tell my friends we had arrived and asked if they wanted to be seated. Which, obviously, they would because they were waiting for us. Just odd way to start a night. The service was professional and polite. Everything served quickly. Not intrusive. The only issue came when a margarita was knocked over by the waitress and it emptied on to my wife’s lap. The waitress did apologize and bring napkins and bar towels. But I was a little put off that the manager didn’t come over too to say something to us or offer a reduction on our bill, something. The tables are not very wide. The combination of glasses, the hummus/veggie plate, small bread plates, and the dinner plates takes up a lot of table space which I think lead to the margarita spill. The food is very good and the selection of drinks is outstanding. It’s a beautiful restaurant.
