Visited here for the first time last weekend and was very pleased with our experience. The old barn type atmosphere was cool, but be sure to get a table away from the stairs and host stand. It can get a little busy there. The beer and wine list is more than adequate and features a number of local microbrews. Much of the food on the menu is raised on the attached farm, and they try and source all ingredients locally. I had mahi-mahi, however, and I don't know where you would catch that in central Indiana. Our group had a selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts. The general consensus was everything was good, although a couple of the main dishes came out a little less than hot. Not a big deal though. Service was good, overall I would recommend.
So we decided to spend an evening listening to Gordon Bonham and his superb bluesy music while having dinner, so we went to Traders Point, actually, to The Loft, which is the restaurant they operate. When we realized the prices were obscene, we decided just to order one dish along with two glasses of wine, so we went for the pork, described as "Pork - Rolled roast, sorghum baked beans, Brussels kraut, poached apples, mustard-cider-onion gravy" for $28. We sat and watched the servers run back and forth from the back, cramping dishes of food up to four of them on their arms, plates touching other plates' food while dangerously oscillating between falling down, rolling onto the other plate below or worse. We saw food being "repositioned" in the middle of the plate with the servers' bare hands, and we waited patiently although our appetite was gone by now.When the food finally arrived, it was the worst disappointment we've had in a very long time. The pork was reduced to a tiny piece of rubbery meat, cold, impossible to cut, thrown on top of cold nauseating beans. No flavor, no presentation, of course, no salad or a decent basket of bread and butter. Absolutely nothing but a white plate with a 4" x 4" piece of dry, inedible pork.I was so incredibly disgusted, fueled by the complete disregard and disrespect for their customers' enjoyment from whom appear to be the woman owner and her daughter or granddaughter -- I could be wrong on this --walking around, staring at the tables and the customers.The wine servings were below standard, and at $9 a glass, I would expect to be poured a little bit more than the substandard amount we were given.All in all, it was an atrocious experience, we will make sure all our friends know to avoid this place and its mediocre business practices and I hope people who read this review do not reward bad businesses with their hard-earned money. I know we won't.Visited January 2015
If you are north of Indianapolis then you may want to stop off here to get a nice meal and insights into an organic cattle farm.The service was excellent and being able to walk the grounds afterwords was a great way to end our brunch.Try the cheese platter!Also in some states you can get their products at your local Whole Foods; it was a nice surprise to visit this place on a whim to be surprised that its a brand you already know and enjoy.
One of the worst experiences of my life. Horrific. Took 3 hours to see Santa Claus in a hay bale. Unknowledgeable and unhelpful staff. Poor crafts. Overal awful. Would not advise anyone to go to this event!!!!!!!!
We went for brunch: expensive and dispointing ! Eggs benedict hard boiled/ no muffin- fruits without taste/ small portions with high price.
The is a true gem in the wild. Go visit the farm, eat their food and enjoy yourself. Treat yourself for something special.
You could spend hours here with an ice cream in hand watching the cattle grazing and looking at the small farm that lies in front of the shop! We just freaked out and bought ourselves big scoops of all the flavors of the day which were strawberry chocolate and vanilla when we visited. The strawberry was awesome with just a slight hint of sweet, the chocolate was decadent and filling, the vanilla just right both in terms of flavor and taste. I would highly recommend this place to families, as an outing for couples with kids and just even a romantic trip out. The creamery also has a small store which stores products that promotes local artisans and farmers.
This used to be amazing! Best and freshest food in town. The last three times we have been there service was awful and rude AND we had to send all of our food back for various reasons. We kept going back because we have been so happy in the past but the last 6 months have not been good. Ice Cream is still amazing!
If you want a nice upscale dinner with farm fresh concept, this place is for you. Sit outside Set in Zionsville, Indiana, this quaint restaurant and creamery is beautiful and scenic. They use fresh ingredients. They also have festivals around Christmas and Halloween/Oktoberfest, which are so fun! These are good for kids. Polka boy plays sometimes. Fun times.
Here's the scoop: Loved the look and the atmosphere of the place, the staff was great, the pricing was ok, the quality of the food was great (organic, local and natural), the execution of the food could use a few tweaks. Would love to see more flavor.I would recommend at least trying this place for its charm. We had Sunday brunch here.
