    The restaurant was a wonderful experience. The only issue was that bathrooms were not clean and maintained.

    The food was yummy however our waitstaff was training a new member and at our table teaching her how to open wine bottles. NOPE! Additionally, 5/6 rec’d our meals at the same time. One waited at least 5 minutes later with out a a word from our staff member. NOPE. It was bad service.

    This was the perfect evening to celebrate a personal accomplishment for my wife and I. The atmosphere and ambience was soft and pleasant. The service made us feel well taken care of. The food was exceptional. And the wine was the perfect pairing. We enjoyed a memorable conversation and toast to our marriage and life progress. This venue became an instant favorite of ours with which we plan to share with great friends. Cheers to life!

    The property and restaurant was absolutely beautiful! The restaurant was clean, trendy, but had a timeless feel. The food was okay. Nothing outstanding, but good enough to go back. The shrimp Mac and cheese was amazing, but both pizzas we ordered were pretty bad. Our waitress was nice, but oblivious and unprofessional. She had no knowledge about the menu and the food. She also had really poor table management skills. But she was sweet. The live musician they had playing was very skilled, but his sound system was to loud making any table conversation almost impossible. Overall it was okay. We will come back and try the dinner menu, as we visited this time on a Sunday for brunch.

    Definitely the best steak I’ve had in the last year…. Possibly the best steak in my life. The pizza was fantastic. Asparagus spot on. View and ambience lovely. We’ll definitely be back. My only complaint was the cheesecake was not key lime flavored or cheesecakey at all but our lovely server Nicole took it off our bill so we were content with that solution. Oh and the vineyard Ophelia wine was our fave. All in all completely impressed.

    First visit to Farmers Common while staying at The Vineyard at Florence and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed some great Tempranillo and stellar Smoked Old Fashioneds from Bartender Chloe before being seated. Then we sampled a few choices from the Menu and all were extremely tasty and well presented. We wish we had left room for dessert as they all looked amazing….maybe next time!!

    Decided to go for brunch. My all time fav is the shrimp and grits. But the menu does change so I’m hoping to come again when they’re serving that dish. The French toast was prepared beautifully. However I would go without the orange marmalade. It was a bit overpowering.

    This place is beautiful. Food was very good. Compliments to the chef. Server was not very knowledgeable and a bit arrogant. One of the wines was a bit musty, but the name wines were good.
