    Great food, great service. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed our brunch outside. The lobster cakes were delicious! We also ordered the bananas foster on pancakes instead of French toast and it was amazingly good.

    Good food, only okay service but I think that was due to a cultural difference between us and our waiter. Food was good - not outstanding, but a good place to go for a good meal with a nice atmosphere.

    Although we requested outside seating on the reservation, we had to accept inside seating to be able to be accommodated at the time requested. The sangria was excellent. The waiter was patient with the men's questions on various beers and provided tastings. The burrata appetizer was excellent. The balance of dinner was good, not uniquely outstanding.

    We were seating in close proximity to another table making it uncomfortable to have a conversation. Our waitress who was not the most pleasant forgot our order and came back about 30 minutes later to ask again, the staff seemed hurried in collecting the tableware. Not an enjoyable environment to relax and catch up with a friend. I was trying to be generous in my rating. I love the decor, food and location so I would recommend with a disclaimer.

    I was just in Japan and was really spiked badly by the quality of the steak. Had in it been spoiled, I still would have been underwhelmed by the Filet Mignon. It was slightly over cooked, no biggie, but wasn’t very tender. Sides and apps were great and all of my colleagues enjoyed their food. Overall, a wonderful evening! I’ll chalk it up to a bad piece of meat. Everything else was really good. I’ll certainly be back. This is a wonderful experience!!!!

    I realize that it is hard for you to control this, but the flies were terrible. And this was in the inside dining area. It really made for a pretty unpleasant experience. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wouldn't want to deal with that again.

    Came here with reservations for breakfast. Was seated right away. Almost asked to move from outside to inside since it was so loud! Inside was probably worse. No need to have music that loud- can’t hear people talking. The food was good but nothing that left me feeling it was the best ever! Service was quick and good. I would go back eventually and try a bloody mary next time.

    Arrived for our reservation on time with our full party of 9 and was told a larger party was seated just before us so we'd have to wait 30 minutes or sit separated groups outside on the sidewalk - it's the end of July and we had little ones with us. When asked to speak with a manager or someone in charge, was told there was no one on site. It was a busy Saturday morning, so that seemed very strange. Was not happy that we had to continue to question the hostess instead of being accommodated for a reservation that we made way in advance. It could have been handled in a much more professional manner. Since we didn't give in and accept it, we ended up getting seated 20 minutes after our reservation in a tight area where they put a couple tables together. No apologies, nothing for our birthday girl, and two of our family members are in the restaurant industry so overall we were disappointed knowing the general operations of a restaurant and how to provide good customer service. The food was good, and our server was friendly, but we will not be doing reservations for this restaurant again.

    We went on a Sunday at 3:30 so we could miss the brunch crowd and have an early dinner after having a drink or two.  However, the place was almost completely empty. There were a few people, and it took a while for the hostess. about 10 minutes later, she came over to check on us and told us that we couldn’t order anything except salad. that they were switching kitchen staff and they’re overwhelmed with brunch and so they only sell salads until 4 o’clock.  so we decided we would stick around until 4 o’clock and then about 355. She came back and asked us if we wanted to order anything and we said no we would wait the five more minutes so we could order other items.  She glanced at the kitchen and kind of chuckled and said OK. I don’t know when they’re going to be here because the kitchen staff isn’t even here yet. 😒 so we waited 10 more minutes we didn’t see anyone go into the kitchen and we were starving so we just had to leave and they didn’t seem to mind at all they were just like OK see ya. Bummer!!!!

    Excellent food and very attentive staff; flatbread pizza was outstanding; beet salad with fennel delicious; both wild boar pasta with papparedelle noodles and grilled salmon entree v. tasty. Good selection of beers and wine, and the summer housemade sangria was good. Only the dessert selection was "meh" -- nothing special to say about either the chocolate volcano cake or the bread pudding, and nothing on the menu featuring seasonal fresh fruit (despite the Farmer's Table name). Fun place to have a meal with friends.

    Got the 4 cheese pizza for the kids Be aware one of the cheeses is “Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola” not pleasant at all ! It’s a cold cheese for crackers, salads but hot pizza ?! It was awful. The blue green color was off putting as well on top. Just plain odd all around

    Our reservation was at 7:45pm. I got a drink while waiting for my friend to arrive which was around 8. My friend got a drink and we ordered oysters. The server kept coming over to ask what we wanted for dinner and we said we would like time to visit and in no rush. 8:25 the server comes back and says the kitchen is closing so if we want more food to order. I ordered carbonara and NY friend ordered the duck wings. Needless to say we weren't impressed. The oysters just weren't good. The carbonara's sauce was completely broken so it was like eating noodles in a bowl of grease. The duck wings were sad and skinny. The only thing good was the overpriced drinks. Apparently since it was slow they let most of the staff go so not great service. We had a good time chatting with the lovely ladies next to us. They too felt rushed to order. I definitely will not be coming back.

    As always the food is delicious. However this is not the 1st time we have had subpar service. With the prices that they are charging they really need to iron out their service. It puts a damper on the whole experience. We had someone who was new and recently trained as a waiter. People make mistakes and that’s ok it was his attitude and the way he handled the situation that frustrated me. We then had our server swapped out mid service. Not our choice. She was good and knew what she was doing but the damage was already done. Even the table next to me had issues. When they asked for the manager he came to my table not theirs. It was frustrating. But again food was excellent. The issue is your food can not be the only good thing about a restaurant. The service is part of it.

    I like this restaurant. I will say our wait person had a very difficult time figuring out our checks. He made a number of errors. We are party of 8 and it might have been easier if He could have given us separate checks instead of putting serveral people on a check. He kept getting that all mixed up. The food is good the noise level was very loud so it was difficult to have a conversation. I would go back but maybe a quieter table.
