Flies were all around us while eating. Waitress finally brought a fly fan. Food and service were not fantastic. A huge disappointment. Cannot believe such a beautiful place was not better.

I returned on a Friday night for dinner with my love 😌 and we had a new server named Anna who was so kind and accommodating and made sure to stay in communication with us so that everything was to our liking. The outdoor sunset and live music band was great with an amazing music choice lineup. The food as always was delicious. Definitely a night to remember.

The restart is gorgeous! Ambiance beautiful! Landscape serene. Their only downfall both times I’ve been, has been their service. The servers are unprofessional on every level as well as disheveled appearance. Sloppy hair and makeup and no smiles or personality at all. All aspects of service were wanting. Yet the place is so amazing! I have not idea who does the hiring or management of staff. Please get some professional servers in there and the place would be a hit!! It has everything going for it! Food is fantastic as well! Won’t be back due to staff though. They are losing out on high end clients for sure.

We reserved a Table for 4 at Farmers Commons on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at 12:00 pm. Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Our table was waiting for us with a "Happy Birthday" sign as we had invited two friends to celebrate their recent birthdays. The waitress and food were awesome. She brought our guests free birthday desserts and very sturdy boxes for us all to bring our delicious leftovers home. After our meal, we visited and played games at a table outside. The view outside was lovely just like it was inside. also, the bathrooms were clean and easy to find!

Anniversary dinner - lasagna and salmon. Both were delicious. Nice table, good wait staff, and a wonderful jazz band on the patio for after dinner drinks. A really good evening.

It was our first time. We decided at the last minute to go check out the vineyard: neighbor had recommended it when we said we were going to Georgetown. We went for lunch. It was hard to decide what to order since everything on the menu sounded so good. Our server Ethan was very nice and helpful. He recommended a wine to my husband and brought a couple of bottles to try out: really liked the one Ethan had suggested. We ate outside on the covered patio. They also have an other outdoor area with fire pit tables. Such a pretty atmosphere. It’s very quiet. Little river/pond where they have chairs on the lawn for guests to enjoy. We liked it so much that we decided to book a room for Father’s Day so we can enjoy their dinner and brunch. The food was really good and very fresh. Definitely recommend this restaurant. It took almost an hour for us to get there but so worth it.
