Reservations & Walk-Ins

We’re open daily at 11am, with pub-style service offered all day. Join us for lunch anytime, no reservation needed.

Dinner reservations are available Friday through Sunday from 4–7pm for groups of up to 10 guests. During all other times, we welcome walk-ins—just drop by and we’ll find you a table.
If you’re bringing little ones, please include them in your reservation so we can save the right spot for your whole family.

Please Note:

We don’t take reservations between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. During these hours, we welcome guests on a walk-in basis. Just stop by and we’ll be happy to find you a table.

Our hours have changed: Monday through Thursday, the Farmhouse is now open 11:00 AM–6:00 PM, with last seating at 5:00 PM, as we transition to our harvest hours a little earlier than planned.
