The holiday motif / decorations make a big impact ! They did a great job of getting into the Christmas theme. The brunch food was pretty good - the breakfast pancake tacos and crunchy French toast were our favorites. The service was slow because we said we needed a few moments. We waited for some time for coffee to start us off - we warned if you ask for a few extra moments to think you are likely to wait double to triple that & then the wait staff don’t always check in on you even when it’s not fully busy ! also if you ask for real sugar for coffee you might be better off bringing your own - they had plenty of artificial sweeteners though ! Overall the company of friends and convo always helps any place - glad we celebrated the new year together with a pretty view :-)

Absolutely loved Farmhouse. It was out of our way but sooooo worth it!!!! Literally everything we ate was delicious. And their singer, Andrew, was fantastic. At first his amp was too loud but we asked him to turn down slightly and then it was not only the perfect volume but great to sing along to!!!
