Barn8 on Hermitage Farm

Barn8 was full on a Thursday evening. We felt lucky to get our 6:45 pm reservation! The atmosphere was warm and the decor was interesting throughout. The fresh salad with baked pears was excellent and large enough to share among the three of us. The ravioli dish, however, was a bit underwhelming for the price. The trout and bison entrées were both amazing, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The miniscule icecream dish was flavorful. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The music and lights show along the boardwalk is a unique and memorable touch.

Such a unique experience. I know many reviews have mentioned the old horse stalls already, so I won't go into that. However, I do want to mention the unquestionably unique food offerings. Many items to list, but I am going to recommend the bread platter, the cauliflower, and the NY Strip steak. Make sure you try the black garlic butter. My only regret was not putting some on my steak. The desserts were also very good. The four of us ordered something unique so that we could try a bite of everything. Whichever you choose, you can't go wrong.

Barn8 is a truly special dining experience—elegant, intimate, and full of character. Set inside a beautifully restored horse barn, the atmosphere blends rustic charm with modern sophistication. The grounds are incredible from flowers to herbs! The menu is simple, creative and truly farm to table. We weren’t drinking and felt our server didn’t appreciate it and overall was absent but otherwise, it was a lovely visit and we’d return. Last note - the chickens clucking in the restroom was a whimsical touch.
