The Farmer's Daughter, nestled in the historic Normandy Farm Hotel, is a culinary haven that embodies the principles of modern farm-to-table cuisine. Under the expert guidance of Nathaniel Ibarguen, Chef de Cuisine, the restaurant has become a benchmark for culinary excellence. With 13 years of service to the company, Chef Nate has honed his craft, creating menus that pay homage to the Lady of the manor's heritage while showcasing his own innovative style. The Farmer's Daughter is a paradigm of Modern Farm Cooking, where locally sourced and heirloom ingredients are transformed into culinary masterpieces. As part of the esteemed Normandy Farm Hotel, the restaurant is a testament to the hotel's dedication to excellence. The spacious 2,100 sq. ft. bar is a refined retreat, complete with plush club chairs, a crackling fireplace, and an extensive array of artisanal cocktails. With its sophisticated decor, reclaimed wooden farm tables, and warm candlelit ambiance, the restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Went here on a sibling date to celebrate my sister’s birthday! I was pleasantly surprised at the quaint atmosphere, but more so, to find my old friend from high school as the owner along with his mom! To Alex: thanks for making our experience together so sweet. To see someone make such an impact to this town is inspiring! You’re a very talented cook. Thank you thank you. Overall, this place is such a treasure that has a great aesthetic. The food is was insanely good. OUTSTANDING actually and worth the money. Marissa, our waitress, is the most joyful person too! Wish I lived closer because I’d make this a monthly spot, but already can’t wait to come back!

We attended Sunday brunch for Father’s Day. It is the best brunch buffet we’ve had in years ... possibly ever. A wide variety of fresh, delicious food, nicely presented and well stocked. A special shoutout to the guy running the omelet/waffle station. He was welcoming, efficient and just a really positive & uplifting presence.

We went here to do our wedding taste testing. The place is amazing we love Normandy Farms in general and the restaurant was great. We had a fantastic server who took great care of us during our tasting and made sure to either answer our questions or find someone who could help us. The food was very good their Sous-Vide Chicken is something you have to try if you are going there. The steak was cooked to my liking and the sides paired very well. Definitely excited to have my wedding here in the summer.
