    Food was good but it was so cold where we were sat that it really detracted from our enjoyment. We asked for the heat to be turned up. It did not get much better. All 5 of us had to keep our coats on for the entire meal. This is unacceptable.

    We went to the Castle and we were treated like Royalty. It is evident as soon as you walk into the restaurant that the team at the Castle are total "PROS". Our server Summer was wonderful and the food was even better. Thanks to the Castle Team for a marvelous dining experience.

    We stayed at the Kentucky Castle and decided to eat here our first night, as it was our anniversary. We were not disappointed, from the ambiance to the friendly staff, everything was wonderful. The star of the show was the food. The Lamb sliders with goat cheese were a great start and the pork chop was amazing. If you have any room left for desert, you have to try the bourbon crème brûlée, your taste buds will thank you. Afterwards mosey over to the bar to hang with Jordan the bartender, have some laughs and a few cocktails.

    Lovely castle but the dining room was bleak with white tablecloths against white walls and only a couple plants to break up the monotony. Food was good overall but a bit heavy on the mustard on the Caesar salad. Coffee was excellent and the staff accommodating.

    We had the barbecue brisket. The taste and texture was that of little bits of shaved beef jerky. Hard to chew and hard to cut. One of us left a whole piece on the plate. Wish I had sent it back. Disappointing to say the least. At first I thought part of it was burnt but then I realized that all of it was almost impossible to eat.

    A fun experience, brunch prices relatively reasonable. I enjoy brunch here fairly regularly but unfortunately this last experience was not the best. Don't know if it was because we had a larger party, but the food just was not up to the usual standards. Will definitely be back though.

    We were disappointed with lunch. Service was fine until it wasn't. I ordered a second glass of prosecco when the meals were served but it never came. There was a dried piece of pasta in my wife's hash. When we [pointed it out to the waiter, he responded that it must have fallen in when the chef was assembling the meal. Nothing further was mentioned. We didn't see our waiter after we mentioned the dried piece of pasta. After quite a wait the hostess finally cleared our plates and - it was clear that my wife had eaten very little of her breakfast but the hostess made no comment. We had to ask the hostess for our check since we still had not seen our waiter. He finally brought the check - when I asked him about the second glass of wine, he indicated that their bartender had been too backed up to process the request. Overall, very disappointing.

    We had a tour yesterday (3/3) that got cancelled due to weather but we still decided to make the 60 minute trip for our lunch reservation and I’m so happy we did! I can’t remember our servers name for the life of me but he was amazing! Everything was timed perfectly while not making us feel rushed. Our food was delicious and everyone in our party of 7 was impressed. I’ll definitely be coming back again! Thank you Castle Farm for an amazing experience.

    My husband and I stayed a night in the KY Castle and had dinner here. I loved the farm to table menu, fresh bread, and the unique menu selections. Our service was excellent and appreciated that the manager came to each table to check on our dining experience. I ordered the rabbit and dumplings and it was a really delicious entree and I was pleasantly surprised how good rabbit was. My husband ordered the elk and we ended with a scrumptious moist strawberry cake. This is definitely a unique experience and would be great for any romantic celebration.

    The portion of the chicken biscuit doesn’t make sense. My sons grilled cheese was missing the grilled. It was just bread with barely melted cheese. Quality if the food did not match the price. Service was fine. Ambiance was ok. The menu needs a lot of work. I’m sure most people come for the concept. Not the food.

    For the price of the meal and hype, we expected to sit in a proper dining room with an elegant experience. Instead we were sitting at a table in a bar area, stuck in a corner with stacked chairs next to the table. I would not recommend.

    Had to wait an hour for someone just to ask what we would like to drink or starters. Then when finally got drinks. The cappuccinos ordered at the table were not hot. When we asked for 2 more to come with our food they were not the flavor we had ordered. The food was good. But had to wait 45 minutes just to pay. Service was nothing to brag about. Would like to add that management has reached out and apologized for the bad service and as asked for us to come back and have brunch on them. Greatly appreciate them trying to correct the issue. Foods is great.
