At the Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens, the chef showcases the best that the season has to offer from the region’s many producers, which means ever-changing takes on dishes like sea scallops, as well as shrimp and mussels served in a tomato-Pernod broth with a polenta cake made from blue corn sourced from the Tehachapi Heritage Grain Project." - Jenn Tanaka

LA Times Critic Finds Convoluted Cooking at OC Hit Restaurant Farmhouse - Eater LA

"Co-critic Patricia Escárcega found a lot to dislike at the spendy Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens in Corona Del Mar, the tony coastal neighborhood along the Newport Beach coast. The restaurant offers loads of al fresco seating and is situated inside a “seven-acre luxury nursery,” but even the closeness to nature can’t help to elevate chef Rich Mead’s takes on “field-to-fork” cooking. Escárcega can’t get past a “convoluted” bowl of rye berries with Chinese sausage, shrimp, kimchi, and caramelized onions, noting unhappily that it has been “crowned with a rubbery fried egg,” and that it all just “quickly slips into a brown, salty torpor.” Another signature vegetable bowl doesn’t fare much better: “The bowl⁠ — a dense, sluggish welter of fibrous things⁠ — is a slog.” Other dishes like a pork tenderloin come off as “unappealingly tangy” thanks to a port-dried cherry sauce, and the Icelandic cod is “conspicuously underseasoned.” In all, there’s not much to recommend beyond the helpful service and gorgeous setting." - Farley Elliott

This restaurant is located inside Roger’s Garden. As I walked thru the garden. I enjoy a beautiful scenic garden with all kinds of flowers, plants, cactuses. Those are for sale as well. The setting of our table was beautiful. There was an arrangement in the middle with fresh flowers. Love their deco, ambiance. We were there for lunch/brunch but we also ordered off the regular menu as well. We ordered so much food from Chile Verde to Grilled Asian Beef Short Ribs, Roast Beets Salad which I forgot to text pic lol. Sea Scallops Shrimps Mussels linguine dish, Grilled Hoisin Soy Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Herb Roast Jidori Chicken, Panko Curry Crusted Icelandic Cod, Today’s Pizza, Steak. Couple Dishes of Salad. Overall foods were tasty, beautiful restaurant. Recommend rsvp cuz they are very busy.

Packed at all times, definitely make The Farmhouse a stop for a great lunch when in Newport Beach. We got lucky and found the last first come first served seat at the bar. Lucky day because everyone else was waiting a long time to get in. They have a great take on American classics. Rest assured, the garden salad is unlike any you have ever tasted with super fresh fruits and veggies that offer tasty surprises bite after bite. Truly no two forkfuls of the salad are the same We got the tuna steak burger and the hamburger. Both are extremely well done and terrifically prepared. I wish I could say why the tuna steak was so refreshingly awesome from the first bite to the last, but I can’t be 100% sure what was in that made it so. And the sweet potato fries? Yeah, you have never had them so good. Delicious. Simple yet sublime. The burger was great too. Yes, there is only so much you can do with a burger, but the fresh buns and toppings with a perfect preparation left me ideally satisfied. Sometimes you get a burger and you are like….. why did I bother? Sometimes you get one from the farmhouse and you remember, oh yeah, I could never get one this frat elsewhere. It’s really really good.

Not what I expected in a good way! Food was really good! The ingredients were very fresh and well prepared. I’m a full blown carnivore so I had to get their burger and it was very juicy and their ketchup was homemade and had a nice flavor to it! Portions are huge by the way.

Recently, my sister and I went to the Farmhouse for lunch during our trip to Roger’s Gardens. The setting for this restaurant was absolutely lovely and we both love the farm-to-table concept and this location did not disappoint. Everything we ate was bursting with flavor and freshness, our drinks were well crafted, ambiance was stunning and our service was impeccable. Our server, Luis, was knowledgeable and gave excellent advice on the menu, fast and efficient service, and had the best attitude while taking care of us. During my week long trip, this location was easily our #1 favorite spot and I hope I can come back in the future because I can’t stop dreaming about the amazing dishes we tried!

Farm to table fresh is the main draw at this very popular eatery. We haven’t eaten here for a couple of years and it looked like it had added many more tables. Our reservation for lunch was at 1:45 p.m. and the place was close to capacity. The food was fine (the tomato and the lettuce in my bacon burger were definitely fresh), but it’s the ambiance in a beautiful nursery that was something I truly enjoyed. The service was friendly and acceptable.

We were able to get reservations at 11:45. Tammy was a fabulous waitress. Very knowledgeable. The settings were beautiful. Sitting in the garden. Nice and quiet and peaceful. We turned the cauliflower steak into a meal by adding avocado and shrimp. A perfect suggestion. Very yummy. My brother had halibut and thought it was delicious as well

Beautiful garden-esque setting for a romantic dinner date! Their food is delicious, service was great once server shows up. Food is not pricy, quality of food is superb! With great patio setting, it's makes a beautiful place to enjoy the meal. Ample parking, reservations are highly recommended!

Went here on a weekend and it was PACKED!! I highly recommend getting a reservation. The restaurant is beautiful and gives off a cozy vibe like you're eating at a... farm house. This place is also dog friendly since I saw a lot of people bringing their dogs. The food was delicious and cutely presented. The servers were very friendly and attentive so no complaints from me. :D After you finish your food, you can go to this restaurant's beautiful garden in the back. Lots of roses and different kinds of flowers. Definitely a wonderful place to visit.

I came here for my birthday dinner and was surprised by the attitude of the staff. I thought this was supposed to be a high end restaurant that served farm to table. However they had a pretty good amount of vegetarian options. The food was great, but would only eat here again if it was for pickup. Because the service was more interested in challenging me when I asked why they cleared my table before asking me first as I had stated I wanted to save some left overs for later. Yet the staff challenged me and said that the butter alone was $6 and I only felt confused. The food was 5/5 stars. The ambiance was 3/5 stars (didn't like the LED lamps and the furniture was basic outdoor furnishings) The service was 2/5 stars.

Went here for a celebration. We are from the area and it was our first time here. Cute outdoor/indoor restaurant. The tables and chairs could be nicer. They have farm to table here which is why we chose to dine here. We ordered a lot of veggie sides, veggies enchiladas and dessert. All of the food was 10/10, I highly recommend trying the food here at least once. The service was 1/10, not great and not anything close to the Montage, the Ritz or similar. The staff acts like things they choose to do are your fault, it's very weird! First of all, they hand you boxes to box your own food, is this not a high end restaurant? Then they take your food away while you're talking to someone, sometimes without asking at all! When we said we were going to get that to go after they decided to throw it away, they don't even care. They don't get it for you to box it up or make it right. I find the service very bad here, they're not good at talking to customers and they're not good at problem solving. The patio lights are blinding LED lights and not nice warm amber lights like the nice restaurants in the area have. Very odd. I highly recommend ordering food from here To Go rather than dining here.

I cannot in good conscience, leave a good review to a restaurant that serves food cold. Despite everything else going well. That's Foodservice 101. We were excited to try the Farmhouse because the food is supposed to be awesome, plus its located in a nursery. And everything was going well, up until my burger and fries were served cold. OMG... that's a pet peeve if there ever was one. Any drive thru place, despite its shortcomings, at the very least will serve you a hot meal 99% of the time. When you're paying $30 for that burger, it should come out hot and fresh 100% of the time. Am I right or wrong on this one?

The ambience and service were immaculate. I totally forgot our server's name but she was a pleasure to have as a waitress. She was very friendly and informative. Despite the great ambience and service, the food was not up to par. Presentation was 5/5 but flavor was nonexistent. It's very unfortunate that everything was so nice about this place but the food was just not what I expected. The 2 stars go to ambience and the service.

Our server Erica was very welcoming and explained everything on the menu thoroughly. Our food and drinks came out quickly but you have to ask for water refills because they're trying to save water. Apricot French Toast: very rich and loaded with lots of fruit. It was hot off the stove and lots of tart apricots with fresh whipped cream and a side of syrup. There was even jam too but I thought the toast was sweet enough without the sides. The chicken pate was a little too strong which is fine if you enjoy heavy pate but not beginner friendly. Some crackers would've been nice too. Friend ordered the prosciutto and peach pizza which was delicious. I've heard a lot of hit or miss reviews but their brunch was solid. Definitely get reservations and it was very nice to sit outside with the flowers.

Such a beautiful restaurant surrounded by flowers and greens! Heard reservations usually take 2 months in advance but we were able to get a table once it opened at 11:30am. There was already a line in front of the gate but good thing we were third in line. The food was amazing, light and fresh. Our waitress did a great job explaining the menu and everything tasted delicious! Our favorite was the pizza of the day.. prosciutto with peach pizza. SO GOOD! The savory and sweet was a great balance. If you love or hate pineapple on pizza , try peach! Everything else was great, pork tenderloin , seafood linguine , burger.. YUM! Great vibes and beautiful mood dining and surrounded by greens and flowers at Roger's Garden.

Bday lunch with neighbors!! Farmhouse has the most beautiful ambiance definitely feels like your dining al fresco in Italy. We were a party of seven and all 7 of us loved our meals and cocktails. Desserts were a plus as well. I ordered the special menu Mediterranean salad but I think our server messed up and brought me the Chopped grilled veggie salad but I didn't realize it until I already took a bite but honestly I loved it so much I didn't complain and kept the other salad. I chose the SO NICE YOU HAD IT TWICE cocktail and that's exactly what I did so refreshing and yummy I had it twice. Overall had a lovely lunch and looking forward to coming back and enjoying other menu options

Took this off of my bucket list! Awesome setting, very ornate. However the wait time for your food takes too long, I know good food takes time but while I was waiting on my food time kept passing and it kept getting closer to their closing time. Even though I had just received my meal, they were beginning to put things away and turn off lights, mind you I came with a reservation at 8:00pm. Food is okay, not something I crave or really remember. It is more for the ambiance, staff was friendly as well. Just slow service met with them trying to close so I felt rushed out.

It's always a good time to visit the farmhouse at Rogers garden right now. They've got all of the lavender in season. The stores are just overflowing with beautiful springtime colors, Fourth of July goodies, candles, books, chocolates, gourmet, goodies, and all the plants you could ever want.. As for the food, the restaurant deals in some of the freshest flavors of the season and we were able to enjoy a summer seasonal menu. I had a delicious fresh orange and salmon salad. All the salads are so delicious as are all of the dishes. Super dog, friendly plenty of parking . Heaters for everybody. This is such a wonderful place to come and enjoy with friends and family. We ended up staying three hours. The staff members are on point with great service.

Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens is a lovely restaurant. We came for a special occasion and had reserved the gazebo, which was originally at Disneyland. Service was great! The food was decent - not exceptional but was presented nicely. My fave was the pizza of the day with prosciutto and peaches, which we ate as a shared appetizer. Lunch entrees range from $23-$46. I ordered the grilled albacore tuna sandwich ($25), topped with arugula, pickled ginger and red onions and basil aioli. It came with sweet potato fries and a papaya mustard dipping sauce. It was fine, but I would probably order something else on my next visit. You can walk around their beautiful nursery before/after your meal. Free parking lot on site.

Our favorite spot for Mother's Day. Reservations a must! Although there was a special Mother's Day menu, some chose from here, some chose off the regular menu. MIL chose the appetizer braised short ribs (julienne slices) served lettice wrap style. Plenty of butter lettuce, pickled daikon radish, chili, rice vinegar sauce & hoisin on the side. She LOVED this. Also had the chicken salad. VERY generous chopped salad with chicken breast, nappa cabbage, cucumber, mini bell pepper, mandarin orange, edamame, etc. with an Asian style sesame dressing. This is a winner. SIL had the braised short rib & scrambled egg item from the M.D. menu. She was very happy with her choice as well. Tender sliced braised short rib...yeah. Real good. The oinker has 2 appetizers. Why two apps instead of an entree? Because IT'S MOTHER'S DAY. The cheese board- 3 cheeses-Maytag blue cheese, & other cheeses. Sliced Granny Smith apples, fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, green grape raisins, dried cranberries, strawberry co & candied walnuts. Grilled bread basket on the side. Nice compliment with tart & sweet fruit. Also had the pastrami style cured salmon plate. Pickled red onions & capers compliment the salmon. Cucumber & tomato for texture contrast. Another winning appetizer. Ended up sharing the lemon tart. The taste was great (dense lemony curd), topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream, the crust wasn't good. Not flaky, not crisp. Maybe it was boxed while still warm? Too bad, because it LOOKED great. Lovely setting, great food with a well trained wait staff. Great combo.

This farm to table restaurant in Newport has amazing ambiance and food. Most of the seating is outdoors so it's perfect during summer because it's not too hot since you're near the beach. We came here with my girlfriend's mom and brother for her birthday and everything was SO GOOD. We each had the How You Like Them Apples cocktail which had green apple, tequila, amaro, lemon and lime. This was really tasty! For food we started with their pizza of the day which came with pesto and prosciutto, Prince Edward Island Mussels, Watermelon, arugula, and burrata salad, and a chicken tortilla soup. Those mussels were my favorite, along with the watermelon arugula salad. For our main course, we had the pork tenderloin over rice, swordfish special, and their RB Burger. Normally I don't like ordering pork tenderloins at restaurants because they tend to be very dry, but not here! This dish had some Asian influence because it tasted like the Chinese roast pork and the rice was made like Chinese clay pot rice with shiitake mushrooms. The burger was interesting. In a good way! It was the "cleanest" burger I've ever had. Meaning, it did not taste greasy whatsoever! The burger had bacon and cheese but somehow I didn't feel greasy after eating it. The swordfish special was made with fingerling potatoes and Chinese broccolini. For dessert, we ordered their peach crisp with vanilla bean ice cream but our server also brought out a birthday dessert which tasted like a crème brûlée that had a thyme shortbread on top. Both were super good! Overall, this would be a great date spot to come or to have a nice and fresh meal.

Such a great place in OC to eat! Beautiful outdoor patio seating inside Roger's Gardens in Corona Del Mar. Ordered the frittata, Mediterranean salad, cheese board and a few glasses of wine - perfection! Erica (aka All My Children) was the best!! She was super attentive! And finally the vanilla bean pot de crème for dessert - delicious!

Love the atmosphere here, it's mostly outside with little tables, umbrellas, plants, and fountains. however the menu is a little funky. I had a hard time choosing my dish, nothing much appealed to me and I'm not usually picky. I ended up picking the tuna steak sandwich, but it was bland and a little overcooked. The accompaniments were just ok. My friend had a salad and added steak to it. The steak was $18 making her salad $38! She said it was really good however. For dessert we split a berry cobbler which was very good! Service was fine, but I probably won't return.

What a great way to spend a beautiful day! Walking around the gardens was so relaxing and getting ideas to recreate in your own home, even better! The ambiance of the restaurant was spectacular. We got to sit on the sidelines where we could still enjoy the beauty of the gardens as we dined. The food was light and pleasant and the three of us shared a nice salad and pizza. I also ordered a bowl of nice tortilla soup.

Absolutely beautiful experience. I heard so much good stuff about Farmhouse at Roger Garden's and was happy to get reservations there for my birthday last year. We chose to celebrate outdoors for a family luncheon (my puppy included!), and absolutely loved it there. Farmhouse is beautiful! To dine within Roger's Garden is quite an experience in itself. Service was great. Atmosphere was nice and serene. Lot of great menu options of farm fresh food and drinks. I ordered their Salmon Salad. Daughter ordered Ahi Tuna Burger. And hubbie ordered their steak. Both hubbie and I felt our plate was good (not the best, but still good). Daughter loved her plate. Still a beautiful experience, and definitely want to come back. Curious to try other options, and definitely want to come back for the atmosphere.

Farmhouse Roger Garden is a place one goes to for ambiance and environment. The neighboring garden center-esque location is often open for shopping. The restaurant itself also has a fairy lights garden gazebo feel. The service has been very good the times I've been. They're not pushy. In the last visit, we even got a free dessert. The food isn't exceptional or anything. But I haven't had anything too bad. It's worth a visit!

Loved the ambiance. A very relaxed lunch - with much of a holiday vibe. Staff were very friendly especially after we ordered a lot of food and drinks ! There was ample sun shades and the tables were not too close so we didn't have to listen in on neighboring tables. We would definitely go back again if it's not that difficult to reserve a table.

I took my friend to Farmhouse to celebrate her birthday two weeks ago. It was a hot summer day, but luckily, we were seated away from the sun. In spite of the beautiful garden setting, our dining experience did not meet our expectations. Our waiter was not very attentive, so we had to flag down random servers just to get our water glasses filled. We enjoyed our salad and appetizers, but the seafood plate smelled slightly fishy and didn't taste fresh. To be fair, we were dining in the middle of the afternoon in August, so maybe it's difficult to keep seafood super fresh. It wasn't our first time at Farmhouse, so we were very disappointed with our experience to say the least.

Came here for dinner. Sat outside with a heater. Great ambiance. Service was very good. Ordered drinks and their special salad of the day. Bread was $8 for rye bread which we did not need. Salad was a peach, Burrata salad. Very light and fresh dinner was seafood pasta and veggie enchiladas. Both very good dishes and very fresh. Dessert was a peach crisp with vanilla ice cream. Again pretty good. Waiter also gave us a scoop of the caramel ice cream which was good as well. Prices reasonable for this area.

Ambiance was definitely amazing! Love the outdoor scenery and lights surrounding the dining area. Food was quite delicious as well, very filling, and the portions were huge! I think it was a really nice date spot. Service was also very top tier. Pork Tenderloin *Loved the array of flavors and textures for this dish, but it was not that memorable for me maybe it is just a preference thing! Still very good, so no complaints Sea Scallops *This was eh for me, but my friend loved it! Confused and Dazed *This drink was a little sour, but I'm naturally drawn towards sweeter flavors so maybe I'm biased. *Drink didn't seem strong at all

Loved the place! Sad we went late at night and missed walking around a little bit. The place itself is beautiful, the service was the best and the food was delicious AND they are dog friendly, so we got to have our baby with us! I loved our server (I forgot her name) she was so incredibly kind, really all of the staff was. Everyone was helping each other and very polite, I loved feeling that energy there. My husband and I were there to celebrate my milestone 40th birthday and we ordered so much food that we decided to "save" half of the amazing specialty pizza for later. We stopped to take pictures at the entrance at the end of the night and he forgot the box there! He was so bummed when we got to the hotel that he actually drove back to get it, but it had already been thrown away. We contemplated going back the next day to get another one but were too busy and had to leave. I'm still dreaming of it and we'll just have to go back again soon to have it again. I was also impressed that they had autonomy farms meat (I purchase their products from my local farmers market for years) so great to see a restaurant really caring about what they are serving. We'll have to make it out there again soon and would love to walk the grounds.

Emily the Hostess is lovely! I took my Sister from Siesta Key to lunch. We sat at the Bar and was served by Allan He is at the top of his game. I highly recommend the Chopped Salad and please get the bread..it is worth the price! My Sister had Grilled Chicken on top of her Salad and loved it! What a fabulous experience and THANK YOU Emily!

We came in on Super Bowl Sunday, so it wasn't crowded at all. They did have the game playing at the bar area. From the ambiance to the food--everything was AMAZING! The quality of the food and the balance of seasonings were phenomenal. Nothing was too overpowering. I left feeling like I ate a very healthy meal. I will definitely be back. It's such a cute little farmhouse setting (hence the name haha)

Booked 11:45am reservations weeks in advance to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a beautiful day and we got seated in the gazebo, which was perfect for our girls luncheon. Our waitress was sooo nice and helpful, and although the food was pricey, it was well-portioned and tasty. We ordered mussels to start, and had jidori chicken, steak, and cod to share. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Our main disappointment was that the food took forever to come. Not sure what was going on and hope it was a one off. This is overall a great brunch/lunch place, and it's so nice to explore the gardens before or after your meal!

We have frequented Roger's Gardens for over 20 years, but never dined at The Farmhouse. We got a last min rez for 2. Got there 10 min before and waited at the bar for our table. We absolutely enjoyed our "starters": Que Rico and Summertime's Close. What a treat! When we got seated, found out it was the first day of OC Restaurant Week. We still opted for menu items. Starter: chicken pate - very nice and enjoyed everything on the board. I got the Coco cocktail and my husband got the Swig. We both enjoyed our secondi rounds of cocktails! What we ate.... Main course for me - shrimp, mussel and scallops in a tomato Pernod sauce and it was amazing! I had a glass of Alexandr Paso Robles red blend which was a tasty pairing with my meal. Main course for husband - meatloaf with mash and side of maple Brussels sprouts. He paired this with cigarettes and coffee (he was not a fan). He enjoyed his meal, he was quiet and focused on finishing every last bit. LOL We took Uber from our hotel to the Farmhouse. There was a lot of parking but I can't recall if it was self parking or valet. The parking lot was dark, We most definitely enjoyed our meal. Service was great and our server made great recommendations. We were too full for dessert. The table next to us ordered the restaurant week special and the couple told us they thoroughly enjoyed theirs as well. Advance reservations is a must. Do it, you won't regret it.

During a recent business trip to Newport Beach, CA, I had dinner at the Farmhouse at Roger's Garden with several colleagues. The restaurant is really cute!! We sat outside in a covered section. Our waitress was AWESOME!! She was attentive, funny, knowledgeable and had a great personality!! I can't remember her name but she shared with us that she is from Brazil and we talked about learning English as a second language, which was fascinating. For dinner, I ordered the Herb Roast Jidori chicken which was delicious and very flavorful!! If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely be back!!

This place continues to be a family fav of ours. My recommendations are the pizza, short ribs, and you MUST try the vanilla pot de crème for dessert. Honestly everything is good but those 3 are a must order in my opinion. Atmosphere and design is one of the cutest in OC and service is always great. Such a perfect restaurant for a cute dinner or a celebration. Definitely make reservations bc this place books up fast

I have wanted to eat here for quite awhile. Finally got the chance today to have lunch. I made reservations yesterday. I had one of the best vegetarian dishes I've ever eaten. It was spaghetti squash and braised greens enchilada. (roast, butternut squash, cauliflower, béchamel, potatoes, and caramelized onions, Tehachapi grain project blue corn tortillas Guajillo-lemon verbena sauce and white cheddar cheese, chorizo, spiced, cauliflower rice, roast, carrots, Cipollini, onions, broccoli, cherry tomato, avocado, relish ) I only ate 1/2 and my mouth is watering thinking about eating the rest for dinner tonight. My husband had the RG burger and french fries. The homemade ketchup was so good I had to buy some to bring home. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the delicious vanilla bean pot de creme. Our server Martin was great. Lots of wonderful suggestions and fabulous service. Came home with great purchases from the gardens too.

While shopping at the garden center we walked in to see if we can have lunch here. We did not have reservations but we gave it a try. The hostess told me we can sit at the bar are which is first come first serve. There was a table for four available so we took it. Aram was our bartender/server. He was friendly and attentive, made sure we had all we needed. I ordered a starter salad which tasted amazing with fresh greens and strawberries. My husband got the steak that was served with broccoli and potatoes. Amazinggggg. He loved it so did I. Of course I had to try a piece. My boys and I ordered the burger with fries. I wish I got the steak too. The burger tasted like the gas grill after you bit it and had a bad aftertaste. It was great quality but I wish it didn't taste like that. It wasn't horrible , we ate it but I wish we isn't order it. We hate wasting food so I don't complain or sent it back. It's a beautiful restaurant grey for lunch or dinner. Also half of the restaurant was empty so I couldn't understand why they couldn't seat us at a regular table in the garden area. But of course my husband went and asked the hostess and she said it's because they don't have enough staff to occupy all the tables. That is just unfortunate. They lose so much business in my opinion rather than hiring more people unless no one want to work there. I don't know. It's a lovely place.

Relaxing, charming garden setting with attentive service. The Roast Beet Salad was a delightful mix of arugula, goat cheese, walnuts, and a tangy horseradish & dijon vinaigrette. The asparagus and burrata special was fresh and creamy. The Halibut special was perfectly cooked - the fish and/or overall dish could've used just a touch more flavor to stand out taste-wise but it was a gorgeous dish visually. The Spaghetti Squash and Braised Greens Enchiladas were delicious - a wonderful vegetarian dish. Overall, the dishes were light, fresh, and beautifully presented. The lemon tart was the perfect dessert to finish our meal - perfectly tart with just the right amount of sweetness complimented by juicy blueberries.

This space was recommended by a local and did not disappoint. The environment is spectacular as you are surrounded by flowers, greens, and natural colors. As you walk in under the lights and hear the water features, you are greeted and seated in an outdoor type venue. There is a full bar to your left and lots of seating options to the right. The service was prompt and not pushy. Our server was attentive and informative of the menu. They have a unique drink option, large wine selection, and a full bar. Veganz vegetarian and full meat options are available. We tried a delish flatbread for an appetizer, Spagetti Squash, and braised green enchiladas and the steak dish. All were excellent!

I've been wanting to eat at Farmhouse for a few years, ever since I went to Roger's Gardens and smelled a delicious aroma while walking to the rose area in the back. For weekends, you need to make reservations so I made mine 60 days in advance as that's the earliest you can do it through Open Table. Took my cousin for her birthday and so glad I did! It's all outdoor/open patio and we were seated in the little alcove to the right when you walk past the hostess counter. We had a little fountain and the area only had 3 2-person tables so it was definitely more quiet and intimate than the rest of the place which is actually really big. Samantha was our server and she was great. We ordered the country bread and butter for $8, the pork tenderloin, and the flat iron steak. The bread was soooo good that I didn't even feel bad that I had to pay for it and the food was delicious. We split everything and still had leftovers. I got the paradise ice tea which was yummy and the guy who pours your water never left us wanting. She also got a little birthday dessert which was their vanilla bean pot de crème, which was soooo good. The entire meal was really fun and Samantha was great. Afterward, we spent a couple of hours walking around Roger's Gardens. So much to see and I can't wait to go back to Farmhouse!

Had a pleasant experience eating at Farmhouse with the family and 5 month old baby boy on a Sunday afternoon. I've been to Roger's Garden many times, but it was my first time dining at Farmhouse - the restaurant is surrounded by green bushes and mandarin trees and decorated with cute LED lights. The menu is quite large with several smaller/shareable dishes, salads, and main dishes from cod, to chicken, and steak. I really liked the Korean short ribs with lettuce wrap, Asian Chicken Salad as well as the pastrami cured salmon (very unique flavor). Everything tasted fresh and had a good balance of savoryness and brightness. I was surprised to see many little kids and infants at the restaurant - they are super family friendly and it was nice to take the baby and walk around the greens when he became a little impatient sitting at the table. Service was a little slow since they were quite busy but an enjoyable environment to be for a Sunday afternoon as long as you are not in a rush.

We had an exceptional dining experience at the Farmhouse, from the service to the cuisine. The farm-to-table aspect is what drew us in. The seasonal menu is imaginative and full of gems. For starters, I highly recommend the mussels (not pictured). We got a heaping bowl, enough to share between four people. I really enjoyed my Icelandic Cod dish. The base was a hearty vegetable medley with Thai-inspired flavors. It was very memorable. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in recent times. I didn't feel rushed, the dining area was expansive, and the server was super attentive and helpful. I was never out of iced tea... I think she re-filled my glass four times! It's the little details that go a long way.

Magical surroundings and scrumptious meals are claimed here by the Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens. Service and staff match the charm of a truly charming experience. Humble boujee is the vibe. Luxury meets comfort and I love it! I always look forward to my next visit. You won't regret this epic establishment.

I'd been hearing so much about this restaurant, so I finally went. To be honest, I don't get what all the buzz is about. It's located in a garden store not a big deal. The food wasn't anything special either. The gazpacho tasted like it came straight out of a can, and it had way too many raw onions at the bottom. And get this, a small beet salad cost $17, but the beets were overcooked and mushy. I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon.

Love the ambiance, such a great outdoor area to eat. Very large and spacious and it's covered but open. The service was pretty slow, but we also came with a party of 6 adults and 1 infant on a Saturday brunch (2:30 pm). We came a little early and were able to walk around freely in the nursery and shop a little beforehand. The price of the dishes were around $25-40 per person, the whole bill for all 6 of us and 1 infant was $424 after tax and tip. There were a lot of baby friendly foods like carrots and potatoes. It's an ok place to bring a baby, but it is a bit fancier so just depends on what you're looking for.

We came here today for a business lunch and I was not disappointed at all. First the vibe in this place is just so serene, the gardens and the outdoor but cozy decor makes you feel as if you're having a meal on a patio in some perfect world. I love the fresh flowers on the table and in the food! Every single thing eater here was beautifully plated and to be honest the quality and taste lived up to the surface. Service is wonderful, attentive and helpful but also just warm. We were really sad we were too full for dessert.

Have always enjoyed our meals and the ambience at Farmhouse. Last week, not so much. Service was definitely off; perhaps they were short staffed(?). We had an early dinner reservation and still felt very rushed throughout the meal. Maybe our server had too many tables to attend to(?). I was the last to finish eating (with our party) and waitstaff cleared the others' plates before I was even finished. The server then brought over dessert menus, while I was finishing the last of my dinner(!)......SO not like the Farmhouse:(. Needless to say, we did not order dessert. Really disappointed. Again, hope it was just an off night, but we were truly disappointed.
