   Unexpected selection of tastings including bourbon, port, beer, and wine. Extensive appetizer menu required we try one of each. Loved the Butcher’s Board most of all. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. We had an amazing time and enjoyed several games of corn hole on the lawn.

   Excellent place! Our waitress was a bit slower to check on us compared with the other waitresses tending the surrounding tables. But other than that great experience overall.

   Friday night date night at Jean Farris Winery & Bistro. Jeanie makes the best peach jalapeño margaritas and they are a perfect weekend drink. The rib-eye was perfectly cooked. The fried green tomatoes with house made pimento cheese and pickles continues to be a favorite. Tonight one of us had a salad. It was fabulous and the locally grown greens (just down the road) were so fresh and tasty. Don’t forget to order some of the home made crackers.

    We sat outside with a beautiful view. The service was friendly and quick and we loved everything we had. The butcher's board had a great variety of meats, cheeses, and accoutrements and the wine flights were a nice pairing. The bruschetta was fresh and bright. We had a great experience!

    Took granddaughter and my lady friend for a graduation present for my granddaughter. We each had different entrees and deserts along with wine. Margaret was our host, and everything was first rate, food, service and venue. Highly recommend you try them. The only, and minor, complaint I could have was the chairs were wire and hard seat which got a bit uncomfortable after a time. But, small price for such a nice dinning experience. Will definitely go back.

    Friday evening was a perfect time to have an early dinner with friends at Jean Farris. It had been raining off and on Friday and we were happy to be seated in the sunroom and not under the tent when the heavens opened up for a short while. Fortunately no one was dining under the tent. The cocktails were amazing and the wine fabulous. The fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese continue to be a favorite. One diner had the Farmhouse Caesar salad and liked it very much. The filet was perfectly cooked and we tried the (new to the menu) fava bean hummus - yum! JF is our favorite spot.

    We like going to Jean Farris for the food and the beautiful setting overlooking farm land. The food was very good but the wine just didn’t meet our expectations this time. The wait staff (except for Margaret, who was great) was dressed down and detracted from the whole experience. Maybe a ‘uniform’ of some sort would be appropriate. For a nice dining experience I expect more.

    We had friends visiting from out of town this past weekend. So, dinner was at Jean Farris Winery & Bistro. Our guests always love going and Friday evening was a perfect night. The fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and house made pickles were a big hit. The filet was as good as ever and our guest ordered the salmon and stated that it was great. We also greatly enjoyed the pea hummus with vegetables and cheese board. The JF Cab Sav was our wine of choice with dinner and we had peach jalapeno margaritas (our current favorite) for cocktails beforehand. We will be back!

    Mother’s Day fixed menu was disappointing at best! Overpriced ! Salad was a major disappointment. A blob of spinach on a plate with 1 strawberry with a small sprinkle of goat cheese — ridiculous. Really chicken and gravy on mashed potatoes, lamb on hard stale waffle, salmon with grits, and a dessert for a price of $55. Very disappointed!!

    Overall, the starter, entree and dessert were tasty, but our dining experience was disappointing for celebrating Mother's Day. Unfortunately, our server was not having a good day or was preoccupied. I asked for a variety of wine upon seating, but was not given what I had asked for. Server didn't check with us to see if we needed anything while dining on the entree, she had two other tables to help. For the price point, our family didn't feel like the serving size was a good value.

    This menu was terrible. The salad was a few spinach leaves with a strawberry. The kid’s chicken was undercooked. There was no beef option on the menu. We spent almost $400 on 4 kids meals and 3 entrees. Everyone had water to drink and one cocktail was ordered. The portions were so tiny and everyone left still hungry. It was so disappointing for what we had to pay. We had no idea when we made this reservation that it was a prefixed menu. I went there thinking I was having a filet. Open Table needs to state that on the app. I found out that I could not leave after I saw the menu or I would be charged. Basically I had no choice when I got there.

    We attended for Mother’s Day on a prefixed menu and food was cold sparse in amount and rather disgusting. None of the four of us ate our food as is was lukewarm at best a horrible experience and they were not even busy. We drove an hour and half to hopefully enjoy a wonderful meal - unfortunately not remotely the case.

    Setting is beautiful, service was very good but soup and salmon both came out cold. Several people at our table and another table commented on that. Price was high for what you got. I would recommend it for the regular menu and not for the prix fix menu.

    A breath of fresh air and great personal service. Enjoyed studying the grape vines at close quarters by taking a stroll around the vineyard with 'elderberry beverage' in hand. Questions answered by staff who worked both on the land and in the bistro.

    It is hard to beat a Sunday evening at Jean Farris in May. We had a date night at our favorite spot. The ramen was back on the menu and it was wonderful. Kudos for the beef stroganoff and the fried green tomatoes also. If you haven't tried the house made crackers, they are delicious and we always order them. Other favorites are the peach jalapeno margarita and any of the Jean Farris reds. Summer is coming and we will be returning.

    We always have a great time when we go to Jean Farris! The atmosphere is like no other… You really feel like you’re on vacation and having dinner at a winery is romantic. We enjoyed the dinner and got to meet the chef so it was a personalized experience. The weather was perfect. We sat outside under the tent and the open flame fire pits were on so it kept us at its perfect temperature. Our waitress was very cheerful and Jean came out to greet us to make sure we were being well served. What more could you ask! We actually got to talk to some other people that were there and had a great time chitchatting. All in all it was an enchanted evening.

    Sunday was a beautiful evening to dine at Jean Farris. We had requested to have outdoor seating and were accommodated by being under the tent on the patio. Jean Farris wine was discounted by the glass until 6:00, so we all had a very good glass of Cab Sav. The new chef is doing a fabulous job. The pork was wonderful, the filet amazing and the vegan mushroom risotto was also very good. We will be returning - especially now that the weather has gotten warmer.

    Food was great. The service was very slow. I think they weren’t prepared for the keeneland crowd. We still enjoyed ourselves and weren’t in a hurry but had we been paying a babysitter, we might have been a little frustrated with the 3hr dinner.

    We had a festive Easter dinner with a pre fixe menu. Everything was delicious! The farm to table meal was healthy and tasty and everyone at our table ordered something different and left thinking that they had ordered the best selection! Thank you for making Easter for the family easy for the cook! Me! We had a great meal and a great time!

    Everything was delicious and the service was great. We had the butcher board and pork entree . Both excellent. The salad tasted straight from the garden so good. Peanut butter pie is to die for. Also recommend the cab franc if you like dry cabs. Will definitely be back soon!
