There was indoor and outdoor dining at its finest! The food was cooked perfectly and served beautifully! After lunch, we were invited to tour the gardens on property where they grow their herbs and vegetables. We were also allowed to tour the wine cellar. The outdoor dining was absolutely fabulous, if one didn't know any better, you would not realize that you're eating outside.

We were delighted to stumble upon this gem! In town for a get away and this was gorgeous! I felt like I was on swept away to a vineyard type atmosphere but close to town. Cannot recommend this place enough! Would be a gorgeous event space for any occasion. The food was excellent and I’m such a foodie, very impressed.

Our evening at The Hope Farm was truly special; an experience made even more memorable by the way Morgan, our server, and the owner, Robert Evans, treated us. At one point during the night, there was a small misunderstanding that left us feeling a bit overlooked. It wasn’t anything major, and honestly, it could have easily gone unaddressed. But instead, Robert made the effort to personally connect with us. His approach was genuine, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent — he sought not just to smooth things over, but to truly understand. It was clear that he cared about how we were feeling, and his kindness turned what could have been a small blemish into one of the most memorable parts of the evening. His warmth and sincerity left a lasting impression. Beyond that, everything about The Hope Farm was a delight. The food was inventive and delicious, each plate clearly crafted with care and creativity. Morgan delivered exceptional service throughout the night. He was attentive, friendly, and well-paced, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine hospitality. Robert Evans and his team have created a place where not just the food, but the people and the atmosphere, make you feel cared for. We left with full hearts, full plates, and a deep appreciation for a restaurant that truly understands what hospitality means.

We went there for Brunch on Sunday. We didn’t have reservation but they were able to seat us quickly as it wasn’t too busy yet. We have been to The Barn and thought of going there but we wanted to more selection of food so we decided to come to this side. I was happy we did! Everything on menu looked so great and it took us a while to decide. We got the Wagyu smashed burger and brisket French dip and mine was some type of egg dish which I thought it was very good with tortilla chips. We would love to try it at dinner time one day.

The restaurant is really classy and has a nice ambience, both inside and outside. The servers and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The homemade pop tart was really fun! My wife got the short rib hash and I got the chicken and pancake, both were flavorful and well-portioned. I finished off the meal with one of their lattes which was so good. I’d love to visit again the next time I’m in town.

A really nice food and hospitality experience overall. Creative and fresh. The cocktails are delicious, the food is amazing. The service that we enjoyed at dinner and then at brunch were exceptional. And then I asked the pastry chef to give us a little behind the scenes look at the garden, really topped things off. The attention to detail in the buildings and grounds and even the plates and bowls, did not go unnoticed.
