Much of our dinner at the Farm was very good, the server for our table had a wonderful attitude and did all she could to make our meal very nice. Unfortunately when the meals were delivered there was a huge gap as the plates were delivered. At one point four of our party were just waiting to eat as the fifth plate continued to be missing. I finally had to ask where the missing dish was and our server ran and found it. As a result the manager, without being asked, did take that entree off the bill. However that was a really an unacceptable hiccup to our experience. Eating out is quite expensive and in Napa there are so many great restaurants to choose from. I always maintain that service is at least 50% of the overall experience and unfortunately The Farm did not deliver last night. Our overall experience for dinner was good, but not as great as it should have been.

Perfect experience! Love the concept of sharing numerous plates at the table. Brandt beef was tender and juicy. Grits had just the right amount of spice. Waffles were the best ever!! My only regret is that I no longer live in CA and thus can't become a regular. Job well done, Chef and team!
Food was average, ribeye tasted and looked like smoked pork tenderloin. Service was decent though a little slow. Value was low, no way that that food should be $165 per person. It looked like caviar and wine pairings were included in price, however, they turned out to be additions to price. We added wine pairing but not caviar. No way this meal was worth over $550 for 2 people. I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants that didn't cost that much.
We ordered caviar but why was it served with regular spoon and not the pearl spoon? Wine pairing - we used the same glass throughout the course (whether pairing w white or red). No explanation why it was best paired w the meal/courses. And why aren't they changing our wine glasses? Main course - steak came out cold & chewy. Very hard like it sat in the kitchen for hours Scallops were small and somehow had very sweet taste in them (than usual/normal) Dessert - we had to remind them that they forgot the wine pairing (dessert wine) to go with our meal/dessert as we ordered “wine pairing”. Well at least this time they served w a different glass Service - our reservation was at 6:45 but got out of there at 10pm. The wait between our appetizer to the next course was at least 45-to an hour long w/o anyone checking up on us. The wine came before the meal and just sat there. People who dined in/came in an hour from the time we sat somehow were getting their meals before we were. There were a few tables/diners that were there when we arrived who were also still waiting for their food. receptionist - as we were leaving and noticed we were taking selfies, he came out and offered to take our pictures (he was very nice) Water service- the lady always made sure we had enough water throughout the night and even offered us another round of bread and butter (also took lovely picture of us while dinning)

We dined here for Valentine's Day, so it was a 5 course Prix fixe menu, $165 per person. The CAVIAR & ROSE OYSTERS were very flavorful. The BEETROOT CANNOLI was exceptional. The TAGALATELLE AND MEATBALL was good, but there was an off putting flavor we didn't recognize in the meatball. The DRY AGED BRANDT RIBEYE was misleading. There were 3 slices of a ribeye, nowhere near a full steak. The SEARED DIVER SCALLOPS were very good. Both of the main courses were small, and served on massive plates, which made the portions appear even smaller. The PASSIONFRUIT CARAMEL CHEESECAKE was just ok. While the cheesecake was good, the caramel mousse tasted burnt and completely dissolved in your mouth so fast it reminded us of cotton candy, so that was very disappointing. The staff wrote in a 20% gratuity, so after 2 beverages and tip the bill was $489. This was in no way worth that kind of money.

I must say it's been awhile since we have been there. We love the remodel and the new menu. No surprise. We especially love Solange. She has taken care of us since Farm opened.
Great experience. Very friendly, courteous and attentive staff. Gorgeous setting. Gnocchi was excellent. Crisp potatoes fantastic. Dessert was coconut ice cream with waffle and macadamia nut sauce great. The half chicken was not great. Everything else was fantastic. Pricey

During our visit to the Napa area we made a reservation for a New Years Dinner and after party at Farm. The price was steep at several hundred dollars, but we thought worth it for a New Years Celebration. Unluckily, I ended up with Covid early on in our trip and we had to cancel this reservation within the 24 hour window. Their "policy" is that they do not reimburse anything! I can maybe understand the dinner, because they expect a certain number of people and order a certain amount of food, but the after party made no sense. They could easily sell any unused alcohol at another time. I could not believe they couldn't even provide a partial refund. I would have been happy to share a photo of my positive Covid results if that would help but they refused. We had to cancel several expensive reservations because I was ill and this was the ONLY place who refused to refund ANYTHING. Just not the kind of venue I want to support or recommend to others.

Super disappointing meal. Had the restaurant week deal and the trout was super fishy, absolutely no flavor. Way overpriced.

went here for christmas brunch and a dinner another time. food & service were solid, but the desserts were just ok, though i would come back again.the entrance door to the restaurant isn’t marked so it’s common for people to walk into the wrong door and then have to walk across the restaurant to the front desk. to avoid that, use the leftmost door from the courtyard through the patio.
We started with the meatball as an appetizer and must say- it was probably the best meatball I've ever tasted. My wife had the trout and was VERY happy with it. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly but were definitely on the cool side by the time they came to the table. Definitely not the best scallops I've ever had and the combination of textures was actually kind of off putting. Service was on the slow side but the ambience is excellent.

Wife and I came for a vacation and could not have had a better experience! Justin was our server and made great recommendations with the help of Texjas the Somalia. Amazing experience, will be back again!

Restaurant is refusing to issue me a refund on a pre-paid reservation ($480) that I had to cancel for tomorrow night due to someone in my party falling ill today. I canceled the day before and was told that no refunds are given for cancellations within 24 hours. This policy IS NOT stated on Open Table and is completely unreasonable. I understand that it’s New Year’s Eve and certain protections have to be put in place, but it’s not like I canceled same day or just hours before. A partial refund for 24 hours notice should be given at minimum.

It was lovely food and presentation was great although the cost per person for brunch was $95, a bit steep plus tip $250! Maybe that was why the restaurant was only 1/4 full, if that. Great place, ambiance and food if you want to afford it.
We celected the Farm to have a different experience. However, I was very disappointed with the food. My wife and I have travel to many parts of the country and we have had breakfast in 5 star hotels, and for this place to charge $95 per person the breakfast was not to that level. At most the breakfast should be $30. The good quality was poor and the service needs improvement. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
