I love Richmond, but it’s a city where, at times, I’ve seen Olive Garden selected as Best Italian Restaurant and Red Lobster as the best spot for seafood. High dollar restaurants suffer while the parking lot is filled at Golden Corral. Hmm, maybe if they tore out some of the walls in that old Farmhouse, there’d be room for a buffet line.

Sad news indeed, I loved the concept of Edible Garden and ate there several times this summer for lunch, but the slow service is what kept me from being a weekly patron. I wish if their business had been waning they would have addressed that aspect before closing. I often noticed several diners in addition to myself seeming a bit frustrated with the wait to get drinks refilled or the check after they ate; but the concept and food were worth the trip to the restaurant on a more sporadic basis. It will be missed.

I want to say I was one of the last customers. We had a baby shower at The Farmhouse…. In July!

I even thought something was up when we had a hard time reaching them. I guess my hunch was right.

I will say, the food was beyond excellent and the staff put things together very well. It’s a shame to see them close their doors.

That is disappointing. Though, my husband and I were interested in trying out the Edible Garden this summer, but when we called to make reservations, we were strongly discouraged from wearing jeans. “We won’t throw you out” the woman said, but ultimately we decided to go somewhere more casual. I’m now surprised to hear they were hurting for business this summer.
