Stephi,  from The Black Sheep Vineyard, suggested I visit The Farm for dinner which is located just around the corner from the winery.  She mentioned that the restaurant provided home-style cooking and recommended the prime rib with their homemade butter.  That sounded absolutely fabulous so I purchased a couple of bottles of wine and made my way over to the restaurant.

I was greeted with a warm smile by the hostess, who led me to a table close to the fireplace.  The atmosphere was electric as waiters kept busy with a full house.  My server was helpful in providing me with a list of specials which included a Shrimp and Scallop Pasta with Grilled Vegetables & Alfredo with Salad for $22, Baked or Fried Cod with two sides for $14 and a twenty-ounce Cowboy Steak with two sides for $32.   There was also a Berry Chicken Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing for $14.  The vegetable of the day was Broccoli with Cheese.  Everything sounded so fantastic, so I splurged on the Alfredo special and ordered ranch dressing with my salad.

My salad was perfectly chilled with mixed greens, beets, green beans, cheese and croutons.  The dressing, a homemade ranch, was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned with ground pepper.  I checked out some of the orders passing from the kitchen to the tables where I noticed homemade noodles and stuffed Italian peppers.

I could sense my dinner was arriving as I smelled the creamy cheese sauce.  There were plenty of meat, vegetables and topped with fresh Parmesan cheese.  With so much food, I requested a take out box ahead of time, so I wouldn’t overeat and have leftovers for the next day or two.

Before leaving, I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Sally, the owner of the restaurant.  She is the epitome of hospitality and what a fabulous cook.  She learned that I was interested in writing about The Farm and wanted to introduce herself to me.  I thanked her for the delicious meal and before I could pay my bill, she met me at my table with another package….she was so excited to share with me her pot roast and wanted me to try her notorious bread pudding.  I would have loved to have tried the meal at the restaurant, but I was quite full from my delicious meal.  I needed to make it back to Columbus and thanked her again for her generous hospitality.   While I didn’t have room for dessert, I was happy that I saved time for the sunset.
