The restaurant had just reopened after a renovation so they should not have had guests. We were the only diners in the restaurant and we sat for almost an hour before getting our salad We heard constant yelling from the kitchen and on top of that the server disappeared for for 45 minutes and did not check in.  We tried to order a bottle of wine but they did nor have the key for the wine fridge so they were not able to serve us wine (ironic being we were in the middle of wine country).  All that said when the food finally did arrive, it was quite tasty.

We ate of Farmhouse Inn on Thanksgiving Day. It was superb. We had a lovely dinner and the wait staff was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a nicer holiday.

Excellent food and service. Menu succinct, so kitchen can concentrate on the foods for that evening. They have their own interpretation of foods which makes it enjoyable and exciting. Foods or pairings you don't think about, which was appreciated, and gave my wife and I ideas about our next meal. Admittedly higher bill, but well worth it!!! We will be back!!!

The service was very good. The food and ambience were good. But the prices were just too high for what they provide. $9 for a latte? $21 for a basic ham and cheese sandwich? Won't be back.

I went here with some friends, a party of 4. It was a nice evening, but we left a bit disappointed and would have ordered differently in retrospect. For a Michelin rated restaurant, we expected a pre fixe menu, so I was a bit surprised by the a la carte menu when we arrived. A note on sharing for groups: The entrees were plated on very, very oversized serving dishes which made it rather cumbersome to pass dishes around, and turned the experience of sharing into a bit of a fiasco. Even the server at one point acknowledged this issue and tried to help us make more space on the table. It would have been much more relaxed and enjoyable if we ate individually. I hope in the future, servers here advise against sharing everything as a table. But even so, the food was good but not in any way exceptional––nowhere near the other Michelin rated restaurants we have been to. French-inspired Californian cuisine, that you can get just about anywhere in the bay area for a much lower price point. The highlight on the menu was the flat iron steak, which was cooked to perfection. But other than that, most things fell flat. I think this is a solid farm to table restaurant, but am shocked it has any recognition by Michelin.

What a beautiful property and experience. I was a bit disappointed because they were out of 1 of the 3 mains, leaving us with just 2 meat options. But it's small and niche so that makes sense. We did enjoy our meal and we are staying at the property and it's gorgeous.

We were very disappointed to find out that the previous chefs had left. We flew in from Hawaii and had great expectations to treat our daughter for her actual birthday. We came to have the full experience we had twice before. We feel we should have been informed in advance so we'd could make our own choice and not “end up” there by default.

Opentable Diner

Beautiful location. Staff was very kind, if not super attentive. It was quiet, which I prefer, and seating is spread out a bit so you are not sitting on top of your fellow diners. Our appetizers were great (susur salad and raw venison). My bucatini amatriciana main was far too salty. My wife's flat iron steak main was good but not superlative, which one should expect for $95 for a single course. For desert, the choux pastry desert was tasty, but choux was not delicate like one might hope for. I hope I don't sound overly critical, but when a place charges the premium the Farmhouse Inn does, the food should be a bit better. We had three glasses of CA sparkling, and 2 glasses of red wine, all from the wine by the glass menu (so nothing exceptionally expensive) and the price was over $400 before tip.

extremely short menu, just two sandwich options. Service was poor. A party of four should not have paid $215 for nothing. Will not go back; beware!

Exquisitely prepared gastronomy celebrating the best of Sonoma County with influences of myriad world cuisines. Precise, modern, delicious, gorgeous food. 100% deserving of at least one Michelin star...Chef Craig Wilmer rocks!

What a hidden gem! I showed up for lunch without a reservation, and with two huskies in tow to boot, and appreciated the staff’s accommodating us. Warm, professional service from Jimmy, Jocelyn, and Oscar; fun cocktails; and an equally fun menu. My only regret is that I came without other humans — I would have liked to have been able to order more items. Appreciated the nice array of vegetarian options and the property was absolutely stunning. Looking forward to coming back for dinner at the fine dining outlet. (I was told they can offer a vegetarian tasting menu with a little notice. Excellent.) There are rumors of a resident cat, too, but I’m sure my dogs deterred him.. Heidi let me know he has his own Instagram account, though, so I still got to meet him virtually.. Handsome devil ;) See charlie_the_farmhouse_cat I’d been meaning to visit for awhile and am so glad I finally did.
