    We celebrated my father’s 56th birthday at Seray and it was one of the best meals we as a family have ever had. As we were sitting down enjoying our meal we were discussing the next time to come back and dine here. Our server, Sam, was incredibly kind, entertaining and joyful. He made our whole experience 10x better. The owner of the restaurant also greeted during and after our meal making us feel very loved and part of the family. The restaurant had a very intimate family feeling to it, making us feel incredibly comfortable and at home while dining there. We will absolutely be dining here again and we recommend that everyone try this lovely restaurant as soon as possible!

    This is our 2nd year trying the Christmas Buffet..all I can say is "we are another a happy couple (my husband and me). " Founding Farmers did not disappoint. The food is outstanding!!! Over 50 options to choose from. My one suggestions is make available "well done" red meat options. Everyone does not like to see blood draining from their food.

    Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.

    Another terrific experience at TFK! Samantha was my server today and did an absolutely stellar job. Not only was she extremely attentive despite her entire section being full, but she was also spot-on with refills and other requests. I could not have asked for better service! I know I can always count on excellent, high-quality food and service whenever dining at TFK. As a foodie, this is crucial for both myself and any guests I may bring along with me. Thank you TFK team!
