Had a great night with my wife for her birthday. The food was excellent! The appetizers were very tasty. The dessert was so yummy! The drinks were a bit small but good. The service was friendly and quick.

This was a great fine, for are get away in the mountains. Going down the dirt road to find the place is part of the fun. The staff is great so nice. We started upstairs with conversation and cocktails. Moved downstairs for a great dinner, I had the shrimp and grits, something that I would never order but wanted to try some thing different and it was like WOW!! Everything was so good if you can try it.

My boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner and it was wonderful, from the ambience, service and food! Our drinks were delicious, the complementary cornbread with fresh apples was great. My boyfriend got the chefs special (duck!) and I got the Apple prosciutto chicken on the waitresses recommendation. The restaurant has a 20’s theme while remaining classy. A very nice experience!

The Bad Apple completely exceeded our expectations, and they were already pretty high! The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is DIVINE, the cocktails are outstanding, and the staff? *chefs kiss.* They really round out the entire experience — they’re attentive and warm without being overbearing. We recommend the prime rib bruschetta (and complimentary homemade cornbread), filet, and jerk chicken. If they have the crème brûlée on the dessert menu, GET IT. The old fashioned and whiskey sour were a hit, too. We will absolutely be back, we’re already scoping out the menu for what to try next!! Do yourself a favor and make the reservation!

The power was out when we got there but the staff made the best of the situation and with a generator running. Service and food were great. The appetizers alone are worth going for!

It’s a dirt road leading up to the barn so if your vehicle is low to the ground, you may scrape a time or 2. No problems in our sedan.

Loved driving way out on a farm and having dinner in a barn disguised as a speakeasy! The idea was one thing but the execution was better! The food was very well prepared and the menu hosted many unique dishes to try from. This is a place you don’t go and jyst have dinner but you have an experience!

We were celebrating a couple of significant accomplishments. Drinks were spectacular, dinners were delicious, wines perfect the complement. Desserts decadent. Canary spoiled us with her attentiveness, without being intrusive. BTW- the tenderloin bruschetta will change your life.
