Great food, nice location, good service, and a casual/nice atmosphere. I am surprised this place is not rated higher overall. The food was excellent, I had the big foot, and I gotta say that it was the tastiest pork I've had in the US... nothing beats a fritanga from Bolivia... the crab cake appetizer was perfectly cleaned, not one shell in it. The steak skewers, the chicken breast stiffed with pork, and the tacos were tasty as well. Definitely will be back to try their other offerings.

From farm to table, it's not a bad place to stop by and experience for yourself.
The food was good and they got some of the farm right there surrounding the restaurant.
It's a busy location, so plan accordingly.
I did have the runs afterward for a few days.
But I guess that's expected when you're missing your daily dose of preservatives.

Excellent service and great food options… came for dinner on a Wednesday when they release their weekly menu… place was busy for a rainy weekday… had the key lime pie and it was smooth…

We went on a Tuesday night, no reservation. The place was quiet with just a few customers when we showed up at 5:30 but I think most of the tables were full by the time we left.
I took a gamble and tried something out of my norm and I wasn't wild about it, Tuna La South. The tuna was excellent, veggies were good but a bit salty for me, and presentation was beautiful. I missed that it had a Sriracha sauce, that was the part I didn't care for but it's clear on the menu I just didn't read things so 100% my fault. My instinct was to try the "Hog in the Hen House" which someone else at our table did get and it was excellent.
The seasonal appetizer, a Pickle Flight, was fun. Some stuff I wouldn't think to pickle which was actually really good. The Mozzarella Logs was also awesome, plan to share them though cause they aren't your typically dinky sticks.
Everyone in our party enjoyed things. It's really a special occasion type place for our budget unless you get the sandwiches which are very reasonably priced for today's standards. I got a bite of the Apple Brie Chicken Sandwich and that's what I'll get next time.

Everything was absolutely wonderful.
Easy, laid-back atmosphere. We had the treat of being seated in the porch area, which was very quiet with a wonderful view of the garden area. We actually loved all the natural light when we arrived.
We were visited just enough to be comfortable. The young lady who served us was wonderful and made sure we knew what was in the food so as not to set off my food allergy.
Food was amazing and very flavorful. Definitely recommend the Beast Burger and the Tuna and Truffle. Tuna tasted fresh, seared to perfection, and perfectly seasoned. Burger was cooked as requested and was packed full of flavor! The minced red onions, peppers, and mushrooms balanced perfectly with the meat, and you couldn't even tell they were in the Burger. It was juicy and worth everybite.
Time passed quickly, and we were bid a farewell by their friendly feline as we left for the evening. We are looking forward to visiting again when our kiddos come back next month. Can't wait to see what's on the menu.

Delicious! Seems like a farmhouse walking in with live stock and a vegetable nursery available to veiw. Then you step into the dining room which is upscale and comfortable. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. The food: eclectic selection and original recipes . Well prepared and seasoned. Drink selection was again original and tasty. Truly a 5 star restaurant. Well done 👏.

1st Timer Review, a little off the beaten path you can miss this place; if you're not looking for it. Backwoods sources local ingredients a.k.a geared around Farm to Table concept. We started with a cup of blue crab corn bisque, it was quite savory, but not what I was expecting taste wise so I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. Next, we enjoyed the stuff crab balls which were very tasty and was paired over Woods sauce 10 out of 10. Lastly, we shared the "Big Foot" and it lived up to its title! The Smoked Pork Loin over sweet mash was "Everything" it was tender and gave me the taste of smoked ham vibe in a sense. DELICIOUS!!! Portion size is definetly shareable and we still had leftovers. Oh and let me not forget we had a side of the collard greens..YUMMMY as a southern girl the greens were on point.

Favorite restaurant I’ve been to recently, and that’s saying something. Wish I lived in Tallahassee—I’d be here all the time. Everything we ordered was amazing. The property itself is beautiful and makes for a lovely post-dinner walk. Highly recommend the Gulf Shrimp with Spirit salad, the black bean burger (or patty added to the salad), the thick n thin sandwich, and the beast burger. But really, there were six of us and we all ordered different dinner items and loved them: you seriously can’t go wrong

The best farm to table experience. I had the apple brie chicken sandwich, and it was fresh and delicious. My daughter had mac and cheese and loved it, which is saying a lot. Now, the peanut butter Cheesecake was perfectly balanced and not too sweet and don't get me started on that whipped cream. Yummy!
