Barn8 on Hermitage Farm

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 delivered on every level—exceptional ambience, outstanding service, and truly delicious food. The setting is beautiful, with lovely grounds that we’d love to come back and explore more. We dined in one of the semi-private horse stalls, which made the experience feel both unique and intimate—such a special touch. The wine and bourbon selection is incredibly extensive, perfect for pairing with the meal or just enjoying something new. From start to finish, the staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. This is the kind of place that’s perfect for a celebration or a memorable evening out. Highly recommend if you're in the area, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

A unique dining experience! Food and service were excellent. The cocktails were creative and beautifully presented, as were entrees and desserts. We had a party of 8 and sat in one of the 'stalls' I reserved a month in advance for a going away get together. It was private and quiet. Highly recommend.

Amazing Gem of a place. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. We had a party of 9 - 6 adults and 3 10-12yr old boys and everybody loved the apps, entrees, and desserts. Staff were so friendly and great at their job. Walking the grounds afterwards added to the evening.

Barn8 is a very interesting dining experience. You can have your dinner served in a horse stable, which was very unique & cool. The staff was excellent. The food was OK, we had the pork chop entree that was a nice portion but a little over cooked, the mesclun salad & cornbread were very good. The banana tres leches dessert was also very good. If you have the time take the horse farm tour before dinner, it is excellent! We would gladly go back to try some of their other dishes.

This was our first time dining here and we had a wonderful experience. Everything was excellent from the food to the service. It is a really neat concept and our party thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress was very patient with a big party and we really appreciated her service. Awesome place to visit.

I have no bad comments or opinions of this establishment. The staff is welcoming, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The barn is designed well and the space is curated in such a way that it’s enjoyable and fun. The farm grounds are beautifully maintained and worth a pre-dinner stroll or an after dinner stroll. The fields are filled with firefly’s which is such a delight. The food was exceptional and it fit the ambiance of the stables. My party basically ordered the whole menu and we sampled a little of everything. My main dish was the pork chop which was moist, tender and grilled to perfection. The red cabbage that accompanied the chops was delightful and reminded me of my mother’s cabbage. The steak was a real treat and was mouthwatering. I could’ve devoured one on my own. The real show stoppers included the appetizers. I truly loved the Brussel sprouts which has a nice giddy-up kick in spice. The broccoli was also delightful but I could’ve recommended to the chef to make them a tad bit crispier. All of the desserts were delightful and had nice plate presentation. The flavors worked well and everyone enjoyed them equally. Service was timed perfectly, there were no faux pas and the manager came by to do a table check. Do yourselves a favor and make the trek out to this beautiful farm and enjoy the sensory delights of Hermitage Farms. It’s worth it!

Beyond bucket list! If you love Kentucky, you must go! If you love good food, you must go! If you love an authentic experience, you must go!! This was beyond….from the dining experience in an old horse stall, to the exquisite drinks, and then the after dark light / art show, it was amazing!!
