Food was ok, pasta dish was a little bland and overcooked, service was poor, not a lot of attention from server

A little too loud and the food was average. The waiter admittedly said that the pizzas are average and appreciated his candor. The drink too awhile to come because they didn't have the cubes of ice ready. Overall an average experience.

Food was amazing!!! I go there every year when we are in wine country.. this was our fifth time going... I was disappointed to see the hostess greet us in jeans!!! When the restaurant had a resort wear dress code!!! Someone had a child approx 3 years old was running around in the restaurant and someone with a dog came thru. I must say paying that much for a meal you want a relaxing environment . The food was excellent!!! And our server was great .

Phenomenal restaurant with a beautiful patio and delicious food! I recommend getting there early and sitting outside with a cocktail before your reservation.

Service was excellent, great positive attitude from waiters at brunch. Cocktails were quite good, at minimum $15 each of course they should be. Indoor seating was odd, each chair had a pillow that was needed to sit comfortably but the pillow kept slipping out through seat opening in the chairs. The food was surprisingly disappointing. There are many choices so perhaps we were unlucky in our choices? Ribeye was very fatty, cold and not served in any way that 4 people could really share without making a huge mess. Eggs in purgatory - - an interesting idea but really seemed to be eggs served in an "okay" pasta sauce with hunks of not great sausage; supposed to be served with focaccia which we had to ask for several times and seemed to be burnt toast when finally arrived. Lobster roll was average, waffle was good. Then the bill... for 4 people we were at $400+, 2 cocktails for a few people and coffee drinks added up! Sorry, I rarely write a negative review but for that cost, this should have blown us away on food.

I had one glass of wine with the lasagna bolognese. Very tasty. I had a tiramisu with a summer twist to it with cherries and Carmel corn. It was delicious! Service was excellent! Nice for first time in Napa!

As a general note, we all came away feeling like we had bad bad food prepared with no care. Our server was charming, but a bit talkie. Specifically, only one of our dishes could be called good and that was the side of brussels sprouts. Caesar was meh. Caprese used unripe tomatoes Pizza was terrible. Tasted like the crust was par cooked and held. It had the consistency of cardboard. The sauce was overly thick and the cheese was both low quality and unmelted. To enhance this experience, it arrived at the table cold. Chicken (diavolo) consisted of 2 small, skin on breasts (perhaps), charred and garnished with a charred lemon slice nestled in a broken pan reduction. Dry, disappointing. Also served room temp. Lasagna was not cooked through. Bad cheese, unmelted, unseasoned. Sat in the pass. Eggplant parm meh. Better off getting it at your local joint. Lobster risotto is a must pass at this establishment. In addition to its tepid arrival, lobster was cooked to death (including the small claw arm pieces mixed into the risotto). Poorly seasoned, overcooked rice set in a swamp of bright yellow, sickly sweet corn pudding. $450, we chose not to stay for dessert.

We had a Sunday brunch there. Got to choose 4 from several options. The lobster rolls, shrimp polenta and French toast were our favorite. Great atmosphere, excellent food and service.

I was celebrating my Birthday with my family. We were waiting for my guests to arrive, Oscar the bartender, immediately came and took our order for drinks. He is super person and very friendly. Justin, our dinner waiter, was great too. The Manager, Simon Vinay, seated us in the area we wanted. Thank you, Simon. On the wine menu, the bottle of wines we wanted, was not available. The atmosphere was super. The food was not so great. I ordered steak but it was two pieces of meat, size of my reading glasses lenses. The side dish, potatoes, were too dry.

The way you order is funny, they make you order 4 things off the menu to share. It was a really fun and interesting thing to do. It didnt seem like a lot of food but it was so filling for 3 of us.
I tried their tasting menu a while ago. Overall, it was just okay. The wait between courses was a bit too long, and nothing really stood out to leave a strong impression. I’d say it was average, though I did appreciate some of the creative elements in a few of the dishes. The building itself is beautiful, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant.

Best food I had in Napa all weekend! We did the shared brunch.

Terrible service — we had to call the manager just to get a waiter to our table. Our entrees came out almost two hours after we sat down. The food was good, but the service ruined the experience. Definitely not coming back.

I was invited to celebrate my birthday here. We arrived early by 7 minutes and were asked to wait for our schedule time even though there were 5 empty tables. We didn't question it then due to the beautiful atmosphere. Once seated we ordered an expresso, latte, and regular coffee to start our morning. The coffees took 20 minutes to arrive at our table. Then we went on to order beignets.
While waiting for the beignets. Two tables left and 3 tables were assigned to new customers. These customers received a full course meal in 20 minutes and their beignets arrived in 5 minutes. We didn't recieve our order, of only 6 beignets, an hour later. At this point I was very upset and discriminated at. I was wearing a birthday crown and ribbon so the staff knew it was a special day, but ended up making it the worst breakfast with their poor customer service and urgency. Never felt humiliated.

FARM was everything I had hoped for at first, the gardens were pure magic, the setting truly stunning. As we walked to our table, the dishes carried past us looked absolutely delicious, and I felt a genuine excitement to celebrate my cousin’s birthday and savor the experience. But after waiting over an hour and a half for simple coffees and beignets, while others around us, seated later, received full meals with ease (including beignets), that excitement slowly unraveled into deep disappointment.
It became clear we weren’t valued because we hadn’t ordered the fixed-price brunch, which, in fairness, I should have researched more carefully. Still, having made the reservation, I wanted to support the restaurant, even if only in a small way.
In the end, beauty means little when kindness is absent. I left not just disappointed, but with a quiet sense of humiliation. Admittedly, that may sound dramatic, but this was one of those rare experiences so baffling and disheartening that it replayed in my mind again and again, leaving me to wonder if I had imagined it.
The true shame is that the beignets were excellent, and the food we saw around us looked fantastic. The kitchen clearly has talent, but even the best food cannot redeem service so lacking in basic hospitality.
