First time at this location and it didn’t disappoint. Went out for a holiday date night and it turned out perfect. Both of us ordered the main filet mignon, one with scallops and the other with crab. Both were cooked to perfection. Had a fantastic bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from Frank Family Vineyards with it. And for dessert, the New York cheesecake with strawberries. Our waiter Jeffrey was very attentive but not overbearing and made sure we were taken care of. Thanks Jeffrey!

Jack from Scotland was our server and did an excellent job! He was very engaging and really seemed to enjoy his job. They have so many food choices and a price point for everyone and the restaurant is beautiful! We had the lemon cesar salad, avocado fries, wagyu burger and veggie taco plate. Everything was so good (besides the French fries that came with the burger, those need some work). Otherwise, the experience overall was an A+! We’ll definitely be back to try additional menu items.

Always a special treat to dine at The Farmhouse! Loved my burger, our table also loved the Jidori Chicken, and the mussels. The Butternut Squash Soup was reportedly meh. Desserts a bit disappointing today (not usually) — can’t recommend the berry sorbet (odd-tasting), and the Vanilla Pot de crème was a bit bland according to the friend who had the soup. Our waiter was like a warm hug, the kind of server you look forward to his check-ins!

Food was great and fresh. Lots to choose from too. Service was very attentive and courteous .
