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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We dined in here for a fun NYE dinner tonight and I will say I was impressed every time our waiter, Lindsey, came to the table. She was very nice, relaxed and informative. We appreciate her watching out for my boyfriend’s mushroom allergy when he accidentally ordered something that had mushrooms in it. Everything we ordered was timely, delicious and cooked to perfection. Truly a fantastic dining experience. Thank you Lindsey! Also house made tonic was YUM!!!

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!
