my guest and i are beyond disappointed at our experience here. pacing/timing of dinner was awful. it took 2 hours to get just the first 2 courses. service was terrible. our server wasn't attentive to us while i feel that he checked on the other guests more. i will say the girls refilling the water and setting the silverware were very great though. food was subpar. not worth the $88. we left hungry and got something else after. the food was bland or too salty, plating was inconsistent, and overall difficult to eat. not sure if i caught them on an off day but i will not be returning. read more

What a gem you have there in Wichita, KS! We were passing through town and what a fantastic joint we had found at the elderslie farm restaurant. Everything was exceptional. Started off with a wonderful fresh herbaceous salad with crisp asparagus and a lively house made vinegar dressing. Although the menu described it as a soup, we were still very happy with what this course and we enjoyed it immensely. The homemade bread was beautifully crafted and had subtle Indian spiced tones. It was warm and fresh. The second course was 3 perfectly cooked scallops on a bed of heavenly mushrooms and oats with a light mushroom sauce. 10/10! I could eat that everyday and it would not become tiresome! For the entree, I had the short ribs, which were melt in your mouth delicious. Meanwhile husband enjoyed the beautifully prepared pork belly. Deserts were not a let down at all. Notably the Carmel sauce and rich chocolate torte was perfectly balanced. We did enjoy the wine pairings, although did wonder why the establishment would choose to serve a heavy red with the scallop course. However it did seem to work in some degree. Points of refinement: I wish the server was more educated on the wines we were served. For example she could only tell us it's a great Cabernet. And when probed for more information, she was not prepared to explain more. Additionally a more detailed explanation about the courses, the ingredients, and the preparation would have been so appreciated. And wrapping up leftovers as a service should be customary. Small points of refinement would elevate the dining experience. The restaurant is warm and welcoming with an abundance of natural light. The decor is beautiful and inviting. The farmhouse factor definitely screams fresh. I hope the chef continues on their journey as this was an unexpected experience not soon to be forgotten. It really was a 5 star meal and i look forward to returning here should I ever return to Wichita. read more

I wanted this review to score higher as it is a local eatery but they struggled. We went for Saturday brunch at 10AM and the counter staff had no clue the lemon ricotta pancakes were not available. 12 minutes after being seated they approached our table and broke the bad news. The biscuits and sausage and gravy had a bitter taste like the gravy was burnt. The scones were under baked. Portions are small and way over priced. $120 for 4 people. Atmosphere is second to none. Maybe dinner was the better route to read more

Food: The food was very casual and gave hard farm to table vibes. Everything felt curated and intentional. I liked my drink and the small plates we ordered were delicious but slightly more expensive than I would normally like. The food was well appointed and it all felt very fresh. Service: The server was ours alone and she did a wonderful job of being available without making us feel uncomfortable. Honestly, her ability to do this was probably the most impressive thing about the whole experience. Ambiance: We sat outside so it was really warm. Be sure to make a reservation before planning to dine here. The folks inside seemed to be having a much better time of it. read more

Always love Elderslie! Food is fresh and delicious, ambiance is great. We have been going for years, one of my favorites.

This is a review on there fine dinning restaurant. This farm to table small restaurant is worth the price. With amazing food that is sourced with care and the service. Every course is unique and is described to you the intricacies details that went thru in making it. Defiantly an experience. Perfect for a special occasion as it is on the pricier side. Defiantly keep in it in mind anytime I'm in witchita and deciding where to go. Plus you must check out the creamery barn! I'm be visiting that everytime in near. read more

This is an amazing experience. Pricey yes but worth every penny for how thought out the menu is. Each course was absolutely full of flavor. The service was absolutely wonderful and informative about each course you were eating. We went around Christmas in the evening it was decorated and homey feeling. read more

I had dinner there for the first time and I was unsure of what to expect. I knew it was going to be on the pricier end, but I don't mind paying for something different to try. I was pleasantly surprised. The food presentation was perfect and while the portions seem small, we all got full! It was a great date night. read more

Fantastic ambience, food, and service -- just stellar all around! My hubby's still declaring how wonderful his Linzer torte was! We took home some (from the shop portion) some terrific goat cheese and top rate charcuterie. Thanks to friends from Wichita who first told us about Elderslie Farm! P.S.: I can now honestly say now that we've been to a place whose name, apparently, is pronounced as "Key-Chye, Kansas." Hell -- I'm from Oklahoma and have been to Gotebo (pronounced as "Go-Dee-Boh"). I'm hardly one to freakin' talk. read more

UPDATE: This was nothing like my first visit. We were sat in a tiny room by a cold window. Every table had a light over it except ours. The menu was not good. The scallops were extremely overly seasoned with an everything bagel seasoning. There was one less course than last time and we all left hungry. The service was the worst part. We didn't know who our server was. We were shared with a guy and a girl. The girl spilled water all over the table. Then when she brought out the cheese plate, she dumped the crackers all over the table. When the first course came out, the three of us were expected to split it. I asked the server if I had come by myself would I get the same amount and he said yes, but it's a bonus when you eat alone because it serves 4. Absolutely ridiculous. It took forever to get our dessert entree and it was filled with a cheap raspberry flavor. Also, my friend didn't take one bite of his duck because he wasn't feeling well and he asked for a Togo box for that and his eclair. He never got them. Money wasted. Evening wasted. As good as my visit was last time, that's how embarrassing it was this time. I built the place up for my friends and left disheartened. read more

Customer satisfaction is the difference between perceived performance and customer expectations. I wish I could say I was satisfied with my recent dining experience at Elderslie Farm, but I was not. Either their performance was too low or my expectations were too high, probably both in this case, so shame on them and shame on me! Experienced family members had raved about this place so I was anxious to try it. I expected to pay handsomely for a very special dining experience. They certainly exceed my expectations with the final check (and it could have been much more!) but the only thing special about the rest of the experience was their Charcuterie Board appetizer - their cheeses are outstanding! Although the fireplace was glowing, the main dining room was uncomfortably chilly on this snowy night, but then, so was the food - not a single course was served hot! It doesn't take long to consume a tiny portion so there were long pauses between courses. There did not seem to be a single server in charge of our table. Someone handled the water and drinks and while others showed up with the meal courses. One member of our party had to finally leave the table to order a second drink. But the final straw was the check! I knew about the high (relative to value delivered) fixed price and the conveniently included 20% "service fee", but they also had the gall to add an open gratuity line. Seriously? I guess I would say dinner at Elderslie Farm is not my cup of tea! They can surely do better and I will be sure to stay away. read more

I expected something more for the price. My porchEtta (pork roast $28) was not warm enough for my taste and was tough. It should have been served with a serrated knife or better yet, cooked lower and slower for a tender dish. the white bean cassoulet accompaniment was excellent as was the raddish slaw with pineapple vinaigrette. My husband chose the spare rib ($34) was a better choice though he found the chermoula (like chimmichurri) to be quite spicy. We enjoyed the mussels very much. My son chose the Sliders and was happy with this selection. We also shared a piece of chocolate ganache cake that was okay. I knew in advance that there would be a 20% service charge added but it takes some balls to still have a line for tip on the check as the service is not anything special. read more

I've loved their cheeses I'd bought before, I think it's the Ayre that was my favorite. I was very excited to try the restaurant. We'd gone there for my birthday and done the price fixe dinner. The dinner was lovely, the location is lovely, we sat in a corner near a gorgeous huge window. But for the price the portions were not very generous. Delicious but tiny. We debated grabbing a fast food burger on the way home. I still love their cheese and would love to go back to their beer garden set up, but I wouldn't do the price fixe again. read more

We dined here and had the chef's tasting menu. There was 6 of us and we had a great experience. The food was fantastic and each course was described nicely and the presentation was great. Our servers were attentive but also not too much. Drinks were good. They timed the meal nicely. We love long dinners together and this was an almost 4 hour dinner and the servers never seemed annoyed by us taking our time. We made sure to add extra gratuity to show appreciation. This is a high-end dining experience and we will definitely come back. read more

We passed by and dropped in to see if they had Limburger cheese. They did not. They do have a selection if goat cheeses.

Disappointed that no activities were available when we got there. Everything has to be done online with reservations. The café was open so we decided to have an early lunch. The café itself is an outdoor covered area. Very shaded and very neat. Self serve drinks, a nice addition. The menu is small, but delicious. Ended up having the pork belly sandwich.!! Delicious! Perfect cook on the pork belly !! Interesting variety of vegetables on it. Highly recommend. Wifey had the chicken salad wrap. Ridiculously oversized. Can feed two people. Delicious as well. Great experience. Service was outstanding. Quaint and intimate location read more

Exquisite taste, lovely atmosphere, service is wonderful and top notch. Would definitely recommend this place.

We have had their farm to table dinner a few times and loved it. They are doing family meal take out during the quarantine and we chose to support them this weekend. What an amazing meal. It was easy and quick to reheat and the instructions were spot on, including throwing the cookies in the cooling oven to get warm and gooey while your family eats the main meal. While the meal was heating we nibbled on some of their bread (french boule) and goat cheese. It was so good. Our take-home meal was barbecue ribs, which were good enough to make me forget that I don't usually love barbecue ribs. The star of the show for the adults was definitely the wild garlic potato salad. Shout out to Sarah Jane for providing the mustard. I would pay a silly amount of money for a cookbook with that recipe. Literally the best potato salad any of us had ever eaten. The kids were utterly in love with the Mac and cheese and the dark chocolate chip cookies were a hit all around. You can't go wrong with the Elderslie Farm family meal. Please consider supporting this amazing chef. read more

Visited here for brunch on a Saturday. Food was delicious! Ordered the breakfast bread pudding and beans and eggs skillet. Quite savory. Reasonable prices. Even though you order outside, the restaurant itself is very nice; appears to be a modified home. Being able to play with the goats was an extra plus! The creamery is a must do. The cheeses and froyo are phenomenal. Would highly recommend making a stop here when in town. read more

What a cozy, inviting, delightful place for a romantic dinner! My husband and I went for our 5th anniversary and had a very nice meal with wine pairing. The food was so tasty, the wines were great, servers were very nice! We've been to several Michelin started restaurants and the atmosphere and quality here was on that level. Will definitely be back! read more

We might try it again at some point, but this experience was not good at all. We had a reservation and arrived on time. Our party of five sat down at a table that was already set and ready to go. Aside from fighting off the bees, it was a lovely environment and view. After 20 minutes, our glasses were still empty and not a single person had even said hello. My husband went to the host and asked if he could tell us who was supposed to be taking care of our table. The host apologized, said the waitresses were really backed up, and then said, "I'll just do it myself." We hoped things would turn around, but they really didn't. The drinks were fine but not great. We ordered three appetizers to share. The focaccia was good but the other two were just meh. The host asked if we would like to order entrees, but there was barely anything left on the menu to order. Having called the day before, we had been told of the truncated menu, but were told there was a special that would be available. No special was shared with us, so we opted to go elsewhere for dinner. I was extremely disappointed that for a table of five that had such subpar service, a mandatory gratuity was added. For a single drink each and sharing three appetizers, my bill was over $150. We ended up having dinner and dessert at another restaurant. It was a disappointing start to the evening but ended up being great. I don't know if I'll be back to Elderslie, but everyone else seems to rave about it, so maybe it was just a rough night. read more

The goats are the stars! Love them. The cafe is excellent, just remember they do not take cash. The restaurant was a disappointment. The food was just ok and service was kind of slow. And then, the bill was amazingly expensive for what we got. I would go back to the cafe and to buy cheese, and of course pet the goats! Hope to pick berries too. read more

We had a fantastic family birthday dinner at Elderslie. We made a reservation for the patio night but it rained so we were moved inside, but the ambiance was beautiful anyway. Everything we ordered was spectacular and very carefully prepared. The sommelier and server were very kind and informative, and helped us select the perfect pairings. One family member has a severe wheat allergy, and they cared for her needs attentively. Highly recommend! read more

Every year we look forward to blackberry picking and trying delicious new recipes with them after! The cafe is so cute although the line can be tedious with little kids that are impatient but thats what you can expect if you go on a holiday-busy weekend. I should have known better haha! Great on most mornings for a nice scone and cup of coffee. We went to the creamery this year and loved being able to try and buy fresh local and tasty fromages. We still would like to try the farm-to-table dinners there that look fantastic! So much thought went into this place and you can feel the pride and love when you're there. read more

I knew going in that this was going to be expensive but i was shocked when i got the tab. For that amount of money I expect to be blown away, by ambiance, food & service. Ambiance was nothing special. It looked like an old sprawling residence. We sat in a small room that had several other tables in it. The food was fine. The menu was either halibut or short ribs. We choose halibut. Obviously presentation is more important than portions. Our service was good. If you want to spend allot of money & you're not too hungry, in a different setting, then this is your place. read more

I love it all ambiance, service and food a place to play for children animals to see horses as well

Bramble Cafe is a beautiful setting for a Saturday morning breakfast. We had good service considering how busy they were. That said -- you might stick to their baked goods, which were all excellent. The hot items we ordered were only barely warm -- not really what you want with something like biscuits and gravy. Everything else was very high quality and we would go again. read more

Finally. The goats get their time in the spotlight. Live goats are milked onsite to provide the foundation for all kinds of treats. (I don't think you can milk dead goats...) Goat milk ice cream! You must try it to believe it. Excellent. Then you have the fresh blackberries. So good. All kinds of baked goods made with goats milk. You can also pet the goats that made the milk that you are enjoying. This is a great place. FYI: I did not try the dinners, but they are very expensive (the dinners). read more

We had breakfast and the farm is charming as can be. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Early mornings are better -coffee are free refills- that's a plus. The baby goats are adorable to feed. I suggest wearing gardening or rain boots , baby goats poop happens. I'm looking forward to the blueberries picking come summer. During Covid it's nice to be outside enjoying the sun fresh air and seeing children's happy faces running around! read more

Always a fun experience with their wine pairing and multi course menu. Food has great flavors (although the steak was pretty chewy). Love their cheese and highly recommend staring with the cheese flight! The lobster tagatelle was delicious! read more

Absolutely amazing. Every course was near perfection. Wine pairings matched well. They have a no tipping policy. Absolute must try.

A fantastic place to visit from start to finish! I had breakfast at the cafe (they open at 8:00 am and it gets busy so go early) and it was gorgeous. I had endless coffee and biscuits & gravy which was 10/10. Not only was it lovely scenery but every staff member I encountered was so pleasant and helpful! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary, and it was incredible! The ambiance is like coming home. The restaurant feels cozy and inviting. The food was delicious, and I was impressed with the variety of food being that it is farm to table. The service was impressive, and we got some free goat cheese to take home. I will be back! read more

A one of a kind experience. I went months ago and I still think about the food every day! Can't wait to go back.

It's small and quaint, but very charming. I went one night they were selling goat cheese. We were able to see the stables, walk the path to the restaurant, and see some horses. There isn't much to do, but the location is beautiful. read more
