Great fried chicken, excellent fried yucca and fried plantains. However the flan was nothing to write home about.

Very friendly and very clean. Will visit again!

Seven Oaks Lavender Farm in Catlett, VA

Seven Oaks Lavender Farm
8769 Old Dumfries Rd
Catlett, VA 20119

Bought a Groupon and decided to give them a try today. We were quite disappointed with Seven Oaks Lavender Farm. When it said farm, I thought good size... well, it's actually quite small, it's more like a garden.

When we get there, we went to the little house to turn in our paid groupon. After getting to the lavender area, there was no one there to help. No instructions on what kind of lavender they have and no one to answer questions, so we cut our 120 stems and return to the little house to check out and move on.

Very friendly service. Bought Kettle Korn and tried cider. Both very good. Too bad they no longer sell at Gilberts Corner because that's where I got it.

Only tried the ribs so far. They were very friendly and funny and the food smell and tasted amazing. Unfortunately the hot sauce was out that day.

Would definitely go back to try other items.

Our server were excellent. However not so much with the food

The chili were good and so was the beef brisket. The mini pitcher drink were cute.

Brunswick Stew was not so good. Not Loaded but watery. Pulled Pork was dry. Cole slaw was not creamy and was tasteless. BBQ beans was very watery also. Cornbread would need butter.

Music here is good though.

Friendly tasting room staff and owner. Had a great time tasting their wine. Love the wine slush. Also a great place to have a picnic. There are plenty of picnic tables around the place. Very well maintain and comfortable feel to the place.

Got a bottle of Table Rock White. Love the mango flavor in it. Obsidian was not as sweet as I hope.
