"I stopped by for drinks on Sunday, August 27, during the afternoon. The atmosphere was dark and dreary, giving off a vibe that seemed stuck in the 1950s, a time when the swimming pool was supposedly renowned. One of the restroom door handles was broken, forcing guests to awkwardly stick their fingers into the hole just to get out after entering. The food being consumed by the staff at the bar looked like it had also been around since the 50s. We entered through the back, as indicated by the sign, but were met with a dim hallway leading to a shadowy staircase, reminiscent of a B horror movie set. The drinks were overly sour and sweet, and the margarita glass was rimmed with small table salt instead of the more appropriate kosher or sea salt. It was truly awful—just no standards at all."

"This place has so much potential, but the management ruins it So many rules to where you can/can't eat, where you can/can't sit. It's ridiculous! According to their website, walk ins are accepted before 5pm. But once my group got there around 2pm, we got rejected to get a table. Even though there are so many empty tables available. We even told them to let us know if they have any no shows to take their spot. They said no. Only TWO people out of your whole group can sit at the bar ... We were forced to sit in one spot where we're allowed to drink alcohol, but not allowed to eat... whaaaatt??? ‍ Our party had to be separated in two areas of the farm. Cider is good. Bar service takes forever. Service in general is not good. Understaffed. Not well trained. Confused. The bar ran out of glasses to serve drinks They weren't even that busy!!! It's too bad, cuz the farm looks so nice. Won't be coming back until they change their management."

"I dined at this establishment for a special meal and overall, it was a mixed experience. **Price per person:** $30–50 **Food:** 5/5 **Service:** 2/5 **Atmosphere:** 5/5 The highlight of my visit was definitely the food; the Vegan Spring Rolls were exceptional. The flavors were vibrant and fresh, making it a dish I would highly recommend. On the other hand, the service left much to be desired. The staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, which detracted from the overall experience. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful—inviting and stylish. If you're looking for great food in a lovely setting, this place is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a slower service."

"We had our wedding celebration at The Farmhouse in May 2023. Overall, it was a very positive experience; we were treated well and got what was promised and paid for. We toured the venue with Debbie K. and worked mostly with her throughout the planning process. She was extremely responsive to all questions, accommodating to our reasonable requests, and followed-thru on what she said despite the venue undergoing some changes from the time we booked until our wedding day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and a big part of the reason we liked the venue so much. She said she wanted her brides to be relaxed and have the best day; she, without a doubt, helped to make this happen! The property grounds are beautiful. Despite the highway (Route 78) being across the street, there is minimal noise when in the back of the building for the ceremony. There are several different spots to take pictures on the grounds. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to utilize the front of the building, which has a cute fountain and porch area, as there was unfinished landscaping. There were several flowers left in their plastic containers placed on the ground all throughout the space with some of the flowers in poor condition. Fortunately, there were other areas that made for great backdrops for our pictures. The “kissing tree” and swing in the back is where we took a lot of photos. The cocktail hour space and reception room worked well for our guestlist of about 170 people. The patio was a big hit during cocktail hour as we were lucky enough to have perfect weather. There were candles all throughout the cocktail hour and reception rooms which set a nice vibe. The bridal and grooms’ suites were perfect for getting ready as well as having a quiet space to retreat to when needing a break during the reception. The food/drinks at both the cocktail hour and reception were delicious. The menu changed from the time we booked the place to when we were choosing our options; however, we were able to choose from both the old and new menus. There were certainly more creative options on the old menu for cocktail hour, but we did end up going with a few things from the new menu as well. We opted to serve dinner a little later given the amount of food offered during cocktail hour and timeline for our reception events. Some of our tables were served dinner far later than we planned; I had one guest ask if the venue ran out of food as the time between the first table and last tables being served was a bit too long. The food was well prepared though. The bartenders were also great; one bartender had a heavier pour than the other, but both made delicious cocktails. We opted for cupcakes rather than cake; the bakery contracted with the venue did a nice job with the cupcakes and also provided a personal cake for the bride and groom. We live close to the venue and noticed the construction that started a few months before our wedding date. While no formal notification was provided, we were given an explanation about this and how it would not impact our wedding day when we arrived at the venue for our tasting, which was scheduled for March 2023. I would have preferred to be informed as soon as construction started."

"This restaurant has a nice atmosphere with decent food and live music. It attracts a regular crowd and the food is good, although not quite deserving of four stars. The chicken parmesan is tasty and the sauce is not too sweet. The calamari is average, but on busy nights the service can be slow and the tables are close together. I have tried the pizza twice and did not enjoy it - it was too hard to eat. I do not recommend ordering pizza here as it was not a pleasant experience. Due to a long wait for my food, I had to take everything to go and plan to try it again in the future to provide a more updated review."
