   My first time there and here are my thoughts. Ambience and service were exceptional. Communal dining is interesting, but found that there were several loud diners at the table and it was difficult to have a discussion among ourselves. Food was the big issue for me: beef carpaccio was tasty, but that earthiness was lacking. Scallops and the puree were served lukewarm to cool. I was looking forward to a seared and sizzling scallop so was disappointed, BUT the flavor was excellent. The chicken entree was well seasoned and interesting, but it was again, lukewarm and a bit dry. I was hoping for a succulent roasted chicken. The miso sweet potatoes were delightful and the best thing on the plate. Unfortunately, the amount allowed for only several small forkfuls. The best dish of the evening was the sticky toffee pudding and it was perfection! I came expecting a perfect gourmet meal since this restaurant is so hyped and left a bit disappointed. That being said, I would go back and give it another try - maybe a different season.

   The hamburger, grilled cheese and salads are superb. We had a great lunch after an extremely wonderful spa experience. What a beautiful way to spend the day at Horse Shoe Farm.

   We are never disappointed when we visit the Silo Cookhouse. It is a treat for us to dine there and our family always has to go when they are visiting us. Such interesting food and we just love the service and quality of the whole evening. Thanks so much for a nice evening.

   All of the hype I had read about the Silo................became fact! It's outstanding. Went with friends for drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. All 5 star. From welcome when opening the door to a high five on exit, it was great. The rib eye, greens, and cookie are to die for. It's not cheap but it's decent value for your dollar.

   The Silo was warm and welcoming on a cold rainy day! Loved the fire in the fireplace. We ate at the communal table but were seated away from others. The food was great. The prawns were char-grilled and so tender and tasty. They were huge! All in all a wonderful lunch. We will return!!
