Never had a bad meal at the Cooperage Inn. I think I've eaten everything on the menu and loved it all. If you're a fan of baked clams and crab cakes- order them both immediately!!! Those alone will make you come back!

Our waiter was amazing! The noise level wasn't bad, even when fully booked for Valentine's Day. The food was very good. There was a guitarist providing very good live background music. In all, a very nice date night.

Had heard a lot of good things about Farm Country kitchen and was anxious to finally go there and it did not disappoint! Beautiful space and surrounding grounds. Food and service were top notch. Can't wait to go back, especially in warmer weather, when we can dine outside :)
