    Due to our advancing age and the handicaps that causes, we have a hard time at any restaurant. WFAS was very understanding of that and very helpful. Add to that an excellent dinner with special attention to minor changes in the menu items we ordered. Result was an excellent dinner for two. A little costly but well worth the price. Really good, caring service and attention to detail from every staff person we saw. Who could ask for anything more!
    Wm. Farmer and SonsResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Leonard, Thank you for taking time to leave us feedback. We aim to be a welcoming space for all, and that includes people of all ages and abilities! We’re happy to hear that you felt welcome, cared for, and were able to have an excellent dinner because of it. Talking about changes to menu items is something we’re always open to. It’s good to hear you felt pleased with the way dinner went. We hope to see you again soon!

    Our go to place for going out in Hudson. Really the best spot in the Hudson valley. Our kid visits from NYC, and it's our family tradition to visit, eat oysters, drink yummy cocktails, eat lovely food, enjoy the fire. Always an incredible time. Kristan and Kirby are truly amazing people, always cordial and welcoming. Really my favorite spot...
    Wm. Farmer and SonsResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Clark, We’re all about family traditions, so it’s an honor to be a part of yours. Knowing our food, cocktails, oysters, and fire make for a go-to family gathering spot brings us a lot of joy. Thank you for sharing your experience and continuing to dine with us all these years! We look forward to seeing you and the family again soon.

    Cosy spot…wanted to love it. Lasagna ok but did not love it. Served by itself on an unadorned plate. Had a side of squash tempura. Large pieces of squash in batter. Not inspirational.. My son had the trout. Was served battered with a side of peas. Nothing special. French fries were great though…
    Wm. Farmer and SonsResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Karen, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re a little discouraged that you felt the meal was just ok, but it’s helpful for us to know which dishes were a hit and which weren’t as we plan for future menus. We appreciate your time!
