The presentation was beautiful and the favors were perfection. Can’t wait to return!“

“Farmer's Daughter Restaurant is a five-star restaurant all the way around.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC! You can tell they pay attention to detail, truly know flavors and how to cook. I didn’t know a gyro was supposed to taste like this! Absolutely delicious, I highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes!“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“I had a lovely lunch with my friend. The food was delicious and the staff were so sweet and friendly. It felt like grand dining room at a gorgeous country side. I was very happy dining here today. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We were there several times. It was great. Service was great as well.“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“

“We celebrated a milestone birthday in the dining area next to the terrace with delicious food and great service. The bar had a large selection of beer, wine had a dozen options, plus mixed drinks. The staff let me taste a couple beers before I chose one to go with my calamari appetizer which was very large and well prepared. I do think the standout appetizer was the tuna which had an amazing citrus flavor. For my main I had the sea bass while most of the others had streaks. I thought it was delicious and the rice delicious. Maybe a tad too much butter for me, but no complaints. I skipped desert but the chocolate cake and apple tarts looked amazing. Service was top notch, my water glass was consistently filled and the staff present but not too much so. A great late afternoon dining experience.“

“September 26 2025 we had a 50 person wedding at Alice’s I can’t not say thank you loud enough, to the entire staff. The most professional, caring staff I have ever seen. The food was amazing the buffet was never empty, came in well in our budget and the views and that sunset. A special thank you to Emily she does the event planning for Alice’s from start to finish she was there with the greatest personality and smile. Being in the Event world my self for 25 years she’s definitely in my top 10 planers I have worked with..“
