We decided on the loaded potato skins for the appetizer and the ribeye steak medium rare with grilled asparagus for me and sautéed green beans, portobello mushrooms, and the addition of grilled shrimp for my husband and salad bar for both. As we sat enjoying the atmosphere while sipping our wine we decided to venture up to the salad bar. The options of toppings were many and everything was fresh and well stocked. We gathered our salads and returned to our table. When we were almost done our appetizer reached the table brought by a pleasant young man dressed in black. As he placed it on the table he inquired if we needed anything else and true to form I requested a bottle of A1 sauce. The young man looked puzzled but obliged my request. Even though I and my husband have eaten steak at some of the best chophouses and steakhouses across the nation and some in other countries I always found that A1 was needed to bring much needed flavor and moisture. The loaded potato skins were absolutely delicious!!! The melted cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon was perfect! While we finished our appetizer the same black clothed young man placed our main course in front of us. The fragrant, ribeye steaks that adorned our dinner plates wafted to our noses and mixed with visual cross seared markings that glistened caused us to salivate instantly!!! The asparagus and green beans were bright and beautiful while the grilled shrimp were scrumptious. I grabbed the well weighted steak knife and my fork making the first cut into this luscious piece of beef before me. I don't even think the knife was necessary as this perfectly cooked, buttery beef was effortless to cut with a fork. The sear and crust of this steak was unlike anything I've experienced. I took that first piece and placed it in my mouth and just closed my eyes while savoring the perfection that was the most perfect steak I'd ever eaten in almost 50 years of life! I sat and savored every single bite like it was the only food need for living. The asparagus was like butter with absolutely no chew or fibers of the stalk and the green beans had a beautiful snap with the mushrooms were flavorfully perfect. At the end of our meal we ordered dessert which was cheesecake. I opted for the sweet potato, maple and my husband opted for chocolate. As we spoke to Stephanie our amazing waitress I requested to speak to, meet and shake the hand of the master chef that cooked the amazing meal we had. After receiving our coffee to accompany our dessert a tall, pleasant bearded man in a black chef coat walked over to our table. James who is not only the master of his kitchen but he is also the owner of this amazing establishment. He shook our hands as we showered him in praise regarding his beef cooking prowess. James was warm and jovial accepting our praise some humbly thanking us for our kind words. He asked to take a seat at our table to continue our conversation and we quickly motioned for him to take a seat. My husband and I told him about the national article written about him and his restaurant leading us to drive there just for the steak. He was so surprised because he had no idea this article even existed. My husband handed James his phone so he could email the article to himself. The conversation continued and James told us the story of how he and his wife built their staff and how they all have become such a supportive, loving family always watching out for and caring for one another. It was truly one of the greatest experiences we have had in a long time! The food, the atmosphere, the company and conversation was perfect. It was an honor meeting James and his staff and we will definitely return every chance we get. Anyone in the pursuit of the perfectly cooked steak needs to make a trip to FarmVille North Carolina and allow James to change your mind about how beef should taste! By the way, that bottle of A1 remained on the corner of our table and was never opened. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the amazing steaks we ate because we were to busy eating them. I didn't take photos include photos of the cheesecakes.

The service, food, and cocktails were exceptional. We were a party of 8; there was a party of 50 in the back room. The waitstaff and the chef (who came to our table) made certain that we weren't overlooked. We will definitely return!

Wife and I made our first visit here this past weekend.01/14/22 We did not have a reservation but we were able to be seated immediately at a bar height table in the bar area, which was fine for us. Our waitress, Theresa, was very helpful and attentive. Our food come out quickly. I had the BBQ Pork Chop which was cooked perfectly to order and was so juicy and tender. Very good. Wife had a burger that she said was wonderful. Appetizer was potato skins which were good. Drinks were well made also. We ordered a Chocolate Confusion dessert to go. We had it later on and it was fantastic and not too rich. Thanks to Theresa and the rest of the staff for making our first visit a great experience.
