   We were so excited to have a nice dinner here for Thanksgiving and unfortunately left extremely disappointed. The restaurant is a beautiful space but the service has something to be desired. Once we were seated for our reservation it took our server easily 25 mins to take our drink order and another 15 + to deliver the drinks. We then placed our order when we got our cheese board. Another server delivered our dessert first which we sent back informing them we hadn’t gotten our meal yet. The same server returns with our main course and sides (one of which was missing based on the menu). Our main server came and asked if we had gotten our first course yet which we said we had not and he removed the main course from the table and returned with our first course. The temperature on that was on the colder side, shortly after our main course returned to the table. The meats-prime rib and filet had incredible flavor. The sides were on the blander side and cold. No one came back to check to ask how our meal tasted, when we were finishing our server came back and asked if we wanted more wine. Next flaw was the dessert, we had both ordered the chocolate cake (which was initially delivered before the meal). Our server drops two random plates off and says “we had to sub the chocolate cake for an espresso cupcake” and proceeded to walk away. One of us is a coffee drinker and the “cupcake” was so dry and grainy. Another server came and asked if we needed anything and he replaced one of the cupcakes with pumpkin pie. Our server never returned to deliver our check, or pack up the left overs. Another server brought the check and packed up the left overs. We left incredibly disappointed and half full on marginal food. Based on this experience I don’t think we’ll be returning or encouraging other people to go there.

   Went for Thanksgiving dinner for the second time. Meal was very good, however, portions were noticeably smaller and service was very rushed. Don’t think there will be a third time for us.

   We went for thanksgiving the service and ambiance were amazing, but the food was not very impressive for 95 a person. The turkey was dry and they gave us the littlest dibble of gravy for the turkey and mash potatoes. Overall the meal was good but would not say great.

   Fourth Thanksgiving since 2018, some Aspects are not as great, the service is not as good pre pandemic (but that’s where the industry is now). The food was a little too staged, but a product of holiday, plus busy. Everything did taste good and we had a good time, although my review might seem critical, it only because in the past you set the bar high. Thanks for being open and good restaurant in the city!

   Always a good, but an amazing choice for Thanksgiving that’s become a tradition in our family. All the favorites only better, plus some elevated options! Very nice wine list. And a butter pecan Old Fashion that we think about all year! Many thanks to the staff for making the holiday special!

   Okay, I did not post this immediately after returning from our Urban Farmer Thanksgiving because of the L Tryptophan, but . . . WOW was this place worth shirking family traditions for a new one! First of all, EVERY staff person we observed, whether through direct interaction or just from across the restaurant, was hard-working, kind and obviously glad to be there. The maître d', hostess, waiter (Riggs) and bus persons clearly and genuinely wanted for us to have a great experience. My partner's dairy free requirements were meticulously accommodated with absolutely sumptuous alternatives. Every bite of the bountiful meal (and I do mean there was SO much food - whether dairy-rich or dairy free) was luxurious and delicious. The ambience and interior décor were inviting, comfortable and warm. Because this was a special, prix fixe menu for the day, it's probably pointless for me to rave about the specifics, but trust . . . it was all so, so yummy! We shall return, we shall request Riggs as our server, and we shall never forget this absolutely spectacular Thanksgiving day indulgence!

   Service was excellent, however we have to say that food was a little on the ordinary side. Prime rib was excellent but sides and desserts were definitely not on par for the price.

   I was expecting to be overwhelmed with this experience but it was very subpar. We went for a friend’s birthday and the waiter couldn’t get rid of us fast enough. It was like pulling teeth to get Brett to talk to us which was really unfortunate given the experience we had hoped for. Food was ok but nothing to write home about. Meh overall.

    Great Farm to table in the city. I would recommend giving this place a real shot.
