We frequently go to the Wheat Cafe to celebrate birthdays. The food is superb, the service is excellent, and it is a good value. There are always fresh flowers on the table and white tablecloths, so it makes our luncheon feel special. I especially like the creative way the food is prepared and the desserts are always delicious.

A great moderate price restaurant with excellent foods and service. Also, the gorgeous lighting at front of Mac Art building is a bonus for you to walk around after dinner. Book reservation now because they are opened at very limited day.

I was looking forward to the Central Farmlands menu and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and so fresh. The portions were just the right serving size for a lunch so I was able to indulge in a dessert. The service was friendly and attentive. I can't wait to return for the Mid-Atlantic offering in December.

The beef stew was superb. The pumpkin cheesecake had a great crust and really good flavor. Kristopher (KC) provided excellent service. Overall, great place, great food, and great service.

I found this place to be very nice. It is small, so it's not load when you are there. The lunch is served and cooked by the COD students. You only have 2 choices for each course, but they both were very good. They seam to have different menus' about every 6 weeks, so I will be going to have another menu later this month. I'm looking forward to it. The price is great for the amount of food that you get.

We have been to the Wheat Cafe several times, generally to celebrate a birthday, and found it first rate in every way. The food is delicious, the surroundings lovely, and the service excellent. I particularly like having fresh flowers on the table to make the experience feel more special.

Our server Catherine was excellent! Would have been nice to see a menu beforehand. Only issue we had was using opentable--the program has its challenges!

Wheat cafe is a favorite - the food is always good and imaginative - we especially like the vegetable sandwiches and roasted pepper potato salad. Value is good, and its a great way to support up and coming chefs. The dining room is very attractive with a pleasant view, and the pace of service is just right.

Our lunch was delicious! One enjoyed the beef stew; other enjoyed the chicken entrée. The beef barley soup and the arugula salad were very good. I enjoyed the wild rice and fruited sauce served with the chicken. Both of enjoyed the delicious tiramusi and biscotti. Service was excellent. The servers worked together very well, providing assistance to other servers when needed. Other servers cleared items from our table and refilled water glasses when our server was busy helping others. Our server was professional, attentive and personable. Just a note.....servers could be more courteous and serve the women at a table before serving the men.
