"Farmhouse is the new all-day restaurant at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, and while it overlooks more plants than we can identify, eating there doesn’t require a ticket to the gardens as it’s open to the public. The menu puts an emphasis on vegetables, including cumin-spiced carrots and a gratin with braised greens and mushrooms, but there are also entrees with short rib and pork tenderloin." - cathy park
