   The menu is complicated and over priced. The service was lack luster and the food was not that great.

   Attended during restaurant week. When we arrived the cheese board wasn't included but it was listed on line. The pimento cheese plate on line came with crax but was served with celery and cukes.

   Came for restaurant week. Food was good, not small and risotto was just barely warm. Asked for inside with reservation. We were on enclosed patio in direct sunlight and chairs are quite hard. Only one large party when we got their and they sat us right next to them. They were very loud so hard to have a conversation.

    Celebrated a friends birthday and it happen to to Lexington Restaurant Week and what they offered was a great price and great selection. My girlfriends ordered the salmon and I had the pork we also split their grilled peach salad which was AMAZING. For dessert we had their seasonal cobbler (peach) and it was delicious.

    Food very good. Lamb a bit fatty but tasty. Other dishes good including dessert. Patio was a bit loud but we had been able to get inside. Patio is nice though for younger people. Lovely nice place. Wines were excellent from Jean Farris winery.

    Expensive for the quality of food. Brochette burned, mushroom risotto cold not good consistency, shrimp and grits had lumpy grits, cobbler was huge amount of breading with very small amount fruit poured over it, the wine was old (not in a good way). I won’t ever dine at the winery again. Disappointing to say the least since past dinning experiences had been very good and worth the cost.

    This was my first time to the winery. I had read a lot of mixed reviews, so I kept an open mind. The drinks were good, the apps were also good except for the toasted bruschetta bread that was completely burned.. I mean it was burned black. The couple that we dined with had been there before and recommended the mushroom risotto as it had come as one of their side dishes. I ordered it, it was a very small serving, very dry, more like the consistency of Spanish rice, it was not creamy at all. The person that had it previously as a side dish said that his side serving was bigger than what I received as my main course and that his was very creamy. It tasted bland but otherwise okay, for the price I really expected much better. The rest of my party order lamb and pork loin which were decent sized servings and tasted great. We all ended the meal with peach cobbler which was also very good. (It was larger than my risotto!) I will go back again to give it one more try as I try to never judge on just one visit and most of the food really was pretty delicious.

    We sat outside on the patio where it was quiet and there was a nice view. For appetizers, we shared a cheese board and the pimento cheese, both were delicious. My husband had the shrimp and grits and I had the BBQ pork loin with jalapeño cheese grits. We both loved our meals and the wonderful flavors. We both thought the crème brûlée was the best dessert. Our waitress was attentive and helpful.

    We had a reservation on the patio, and was seated right away. The service, food and wine was all top notch. Our server, who we probably assume was the owner, led us in the perfect direction as far as what wines to try. Don’t even get me started on how beautiful it is out there!!!This was our first stop for Lexington Restaurant Week, and honestly we should have made it our last. We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful spot! Great service with southern hospitality attitude. The food was delicious, including made from scratch biscuits! Drinks and entrees were a bit expensive but given the experience and quality, they were priced appropriately. 10/10 will return.

    We had a fabulous time celebrating our two year anniversary at Jean Farris. If you like a smoky, and sharp Cabernet, the Cabernet Franc is for you. The evening was stunning and the ambiance was perfect! We definitely recommend the butchers board as an appetizer. Everything was incredible. The chocolate martini is to die for. By far the best in Lexington!

    Pleasant Sunday afternoon interlude. A friend & I were looking for a place to be outside and enjoy a drink and appetizers. Though not exactly outside, we were in a tent covered area, with the tent sides up. Nice view of vineyards. To drink, I ordered the JF Old Fashioned (made special with cherry bitters and orange rind) and my friend ordered an Italian Pinot Grigio. Both drinks satisfied our palettes. To eat we ordered a couple of the boards. One was fried green tomatoes, with the house made pimento cheese on top. Though tasty, I felt the pc overwhelmed the taste of the tomato. The other board was heirloom cherry tomatoes in olive oil and a nice blend of herbs, served with crostini. Delicious! The service was great.

    The wine was the disappointment of the visit. We ordered a couple of tastings to get a sense of what the winery offered. Many of the glasses had the dregs from the bottom of the bottles which ruined the experience. The food was good but not good enough to make up for the disappointing wine. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

    Friday night at Jean Farris — it doesn’t get much better. There were 5 of us for cocktails, dinner and wine. It’s a bit hot for us to sit outside so we dined in the sunroom. We tried the Rose´wine and all really liked it. We’ll be having it again this summer. The grilled peach salad was a huge hit! Also back on the menu is the pea hummus - yum. Fried green tomatoes, rib eye steak, chicken and the tomato tasting rounded out our meal. We had a great time and will be back.

    Unexpected selection of tastings including bourbon, port, beer, and wine. Extensive appetizer menu required we try one of each. Loved the Butcher’s Board most of all. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. We had an amazing time and enjoyed several games of corn hole on the lawn.

    Excellent place! Our waitress was a bit slower to check on us compared with the other waitresses tending the surrounding tables. But other than that great experience overall.
