Wonderful setting! Our serving staff was professional and caring. We were each given a post card to address and write a note on. We were told that the Farmhouse would mail it for us. We had a delicious meal. The soups and pizza were exceptional! We always return! Thank you!

Great overall. We were sat outside, which was a little chilly, but the heat lamps did well enough. The waiter was a little quiet and didn't come around too frequently, which honestly worked for us very well as we had a lot to talk about. Food was certainly the highlight, unique and tasty offerings, artichoke eggrolls were unexpectedly good and my pork chop was fantastic!
