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.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the courtyard @ the Farmstead @ the Farmhouse Inn! Especially delicious dishes were the grilled Caesar salad (we added chicken), the yellowtail sashimi and the grilled artichoke. Beautiful location, especially if you're already winetasting in the area!

It happened to be an exceptionally hot night so the usual concern of chilly nights was the opposite of what we encountered. We could have used some fans instead of the heaters and blankets. The venue is very small and the outdoor deck seating makes for a nice intimate summer evening. We tried the caprese salad. The tomatoes didn't disappoint and the basil smelled like it had just been picked- but why ruin it with pancetta? I overheard the diners next to us also complaining as they didn't eat pork. We also tried the trout which was excellent. We tried the meatballs but probably a mistake for a hot summer night. They were tasty but served at room temperature ( not sure that was on purpose). The wine list had some small boutique wineries that were a pleasant surprise.

The Farmstand and Cinema night was magical and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed many shared dishes with our table. We loved the meatballs, charred Ceasar salad, grilled artichokes, tater tots and the crudo. Everything was beautifully plated, perfectly cooked, and delicious! We had a little wine and a cocktail too. Both lists offer something for everyone. We can't wait to return again.

Farmstand is a smaller ala carte menu, compared to the prix fixe menu in the main restaurant. But the food is just as good, and the setting is serene and inviting. I would have booked a table at the indoor portion instead of the patio, it was unseasonably warm that day. But we will definitely be back.

The food was mediocre to poor. My steak was about 4-6 oz and came to the table cold, and the greens it came with were a pile of undressed, dry salad greens. I was told it was normally served that way and meant to be dressed with the bearnaise sauce. What? The trout came warm but slightly overcooked. The bread came stale/underheated. We were told that the bread comes from Sonoma but that it's frozen. My guess is that our first batch wasn't reheated enough. The second batch was better. Tater tots were...tater tots. Crudo was fine. Drinks were tasty but not very boozy. Our server was nice and apologetic but the timing of the meal was a bit off. The whole experience was disappointing. I sent the steak back and didn't order anything else. We paid $120 (tip was automatically included) for crudo, bread, tater tots, trout entree, and two cocktails. Smh...

So happy that I got to know this location through a promotional discount card given out at a local food and wine event. My friends and had a great experience. I will be telling many locals what a gem this is.

The pizza was amazing, the trout was great and the chocolate dessert was fantastic! We also loved the Chalk Hill Chardonnay! The service was perfect! Can't wait to get back! ❤️

Food is outstanding. Pizza is unknown until the day you are there. Pizza of the day for us was Bacon. Personally do not care for Bacon rind, not the meat, on the pizza, Artichoke was average with a good sauce. The Crudite is so good but... very small portion. With vegetables farm to table reasonable in price, the small amount you receive makes no sense, but..... it was sooooo good. The emulsion dip is outstanding. Make sure you have the Gingerbread, so fresh!

Most of our dishes were quite good, with fresh ingredients paired and prepared expertly. One of our two main dishes wasn't prepared on time and came out significantly after the other.

Loved our dinner - food was stellar and the adorable patio area was perfect for eating out (though we did have to deal with the wildlife a little bit - mosquitos). All in all, a 10 out of 10. My trout dish was amazing, though I was missing some kind of bread or starch to help me soak up and consume that amazing sauce. My husband loved his flat iron steak. We loved the veggie credité to start. The desserts were delish. I loved my gingerbread cake, and husband loved his chocolate chrémeux! Our server was amazing. She was handling so many tables on her own for most of the service time we were there. Another person finally came, but he didn't seem to be so much a server, but a host. Anyway, she was amazing/awesome. She just handled a ton in the short time we were there and she was so nice, didn't skip a beat. Really trip drawer staff there.

Very good, but definitely overpriced. As long as you know ahead of time you will be ok with the pricing. Corkage is $50/bottle which I feel is outrageous. Food was delicious. The grounds are beautiful. The different seating areas are very nice.

What a joke. We ordered a starter of baked artichokes. Inedible. I should have been a little concerned when we laughed about the roasted carrots for 18 bucks. Very friendly staff but bad.
