This was one of my favorite restaurants from our week in Orange County. The atmosphere is just magical at night. The food was great, and a good selection to please everyone at the table. Wait staff was exceptional. We tried to get reservations on line,...but they weren't available. We were able to get them by calling the restaurant directly.More

We arrived appropriately 1 hour before dinner so that we could enjoy the beautiful greenhouse. So many unusual plants and gorgeous garden accents. We had a beautiful table outside nestled under an old evergreen filled with fairy lights. Our waitress was attentive and helpful while...we tried to pick our dinner from the extensive menu. She suggested the sun choke appetizer and pork tenderloin. Both were delicious!!!!More

Been here a few times for both date nights with my husband and night out with girlfriends. Always a lovely experience. Especially love their cocktails and as a vegetarian appreciate all the veggie options they have. Everything I've tried here is delicious and very fresh....Also love the ambiance.More

Imagine terrific food and service in a beautiful setting amid acres of colorful and beautifully arranged flowers and plants and you’ve got the Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens. We had no idea that such a restaurant existed until our friends took us there for lunch when...we were visiting. What a unique dining experience! My wife was especially pleased with their perfectly prepared PEI mussels, steamed in white wine, butter, and herbs with the unique addition of bread crumbs in the broth. The mussels were on the menu under “small plates” but the dish was enough for a meal, especially with the addition of four large slices of thick toasted garlic bread. I loved my grilled albacore tuna sandwich, seared ruby rare and topped with arugula, ginger, and red onions on a sweet Hawaiian bun. The generous cut of fish was served with fried sweet potatoes which were crisp on the outside and moist inside. I also enjoyed their market salad, a large plate of fresh mixed greens, lightly dressed with balsamic vinaigrette, with a tasty combination of diced peaches, cherry tomatoes, radishes and pickled blueberries. Our server was friendly, professional and attentive and made us feel welcome. The Farmhouse opened within the Rogers Gardens nursery in 2016 as a sustainable open-air restaurant featuring innovative farm-to-table cuisine. The nursery was first established over 50 years ago and remains a family-owned business. As far as we’re concerned, The Farmhouse is a destination restaurant so we’ll definitely return whenever we can.More

The ambiance of this restaurant is hard to beat. Nestled in Roger's Gardens, this place establishes tranquility for the diner the minute you enter. Their creative vegetable and seafood dishes impressed me the most, and their cocktails and wine list are a nice compliment to...the food. Enjoy!More

Really lovely venue. Quiet, pretty and lovely plants/flowers. Our waiter was a bit rude and slow but the location more than made up for it. The food was delicious as were the wines. Would absolutely return.

GREED MUST ORDER THE FULL MENU We arrived around 3:15 p.m. after an extensive walk and purchase at Rogers Garden. A young lady offered us seats at the bar and I declined, I requested one of the empty tables at the fireplace to our right....Please wait. Another lady stated we can get seated at table number 42. Ready to walk there she stopped us and stated “You must order regular full meals. I declined again and stated it is after 3 p.m. She replied I can only seat you at the bar! My wife and I were very disappointed and left. Our plan was to order a couple of light appetizers, a dessert, and coffee and enjoy the surroundings. But no worries there are many other places that want us as guests. We ended up in Santa Monica Seafood – with much better food options! MeuterMediaMore

Love the atmosphere. The photos don't do justice to the various areas you can sit and feel private to hear each other. It was 50 outside but each table can have a heater so very comfortable. Menu is extensive for carnivore's to plant based preferences....Had the special fish and salad. Great presentation and flavors. Tom our waiter made positive suggestions and knew when to come by or not. A good ambassador. Definitely would return.More

I highly recommend visiting Farmhouse for a full experience. Take some time to visit the greenhouse and garden offerings before your meal or drink. All of the produce is fresh and delivered with care and it’s so nice to see a menu with a point-of-view....I chose the chopped salad and added some salmon. My friends had an assortment of items: the burger and we also shared the sweet potato fries which were packed with flavor. We found the staff to be very friendly and attentive. Kudos to the team here!More

Pleasant sourroundings and attentive servers. We really did not find anything on the menu that suited our taste. We ordered one salad and one grilled tuna sandwich. Too light for our normal lunch but nothing on the menu seemed interesting. Tuna was tasty but sweet...potato fries on the side were greasy and overcooked. We would not return except for a drink to enjoy the different and pleasant surroundings. Location is very convenient with ample parking.More

I met 3 friends at Farmhouse yesterday. They were visiting from Los Angeles. The service and food was disappointing. I’m a local and have been proud to suggest this restaurant for many years to visiting guests to Newport and Rogers Garden’s. I’m sad to say...that the food and service has steadily declined over the last few months. Server was not attentive. Waited too long to order, too long to get water after requesting it as it was a hot and muggy day, no offer to order additional drinks during the meal or water refills. He never came by to check on us and I had to flag down a server to tell our waiter to bring the check. Asian Chicken Salad was served with dressing on the side as requested - which was just oil, no Asian spices. Asked for a replacement and same thing - only oil. My friend ended up not eating the salad. I had the special salad with melon, shrimp, prosciutto and greens ($34.00), which was just ok. No prosciutto on the salad and the melon was warm & overripe, shrimp was rubbery. Definitely pre-made and not great for the price. Thankfully the Ahi Burger and veggie salad were liked by the others at our table. I’m a fan of Chef Mead’s and have been a customer since his “Sage” days. Will be recommending another restaurant from now on…More

Unique restaurant set inside an upscale nursery, average food, smaller portions, but very tasty food. Would be a 5 but for the tattooed/bearded caricature of a guy behind the bar with a " trying to be cool/inattentive bar tender" attitude and slow/sloppy bar counter service...was an element of an otherwise relaxed and lovely setting.More

This is a nice venue on a warm night, but you need more than that to make for a satisfying restaurant experience. I arranged to meet some friends there and arrived a little early, so I tucked into the bar, a mostly comfortable space overseen...by a couple of hunky barmen whom I found aloof and condescending. The first bartender took my martini order as if he were doing me a big favor and then looked insulted when I asked him to stir rather than shake it--he may have been planning to stir it all along, but why get huffy about it? I've been to dozens of bars where you have to be specific to be safe. So he made an obvious "screw you" gesture by over-stirring the drink. He didn't speak to me again, ask me how the drink was, whether I wanted to keep the tab open, or anything, and he sent the busboy to give me the check. Haughty bartender number two took the order from a couple next to me who wanted margaritas and then asked if he could "put strawberries in them." "Yes," the barman said, "but we don't recommend it." The customer asked "why?" and the barman said something like, "Well, you may like it, but a lot of people don't. But if that's what you want.." I think strawberries in margaritas is a bad idea, too, but if I were a barman who works for tips I wouldn't go all Downton Abbey butler on a customer. It was a little tense for a moment but the couple and Tom Cruise made up over the music, which, by the way, was much too loud. People had to practically shout over it. The guy half of the couple said that "you have good music here," and the bartender agreed but then added that, "Well, in the morning, the old owner comes in and makes us listen to his elevator jazz, but in the evening we have our way." Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Keith Jarrett did not make "elevator" music, an ignorant, adolescent assertion, though I suspect the barman's pal who wanted strawberries in his margarita would probably agree with him.More
