I absolutely love coming here! It's a incredibly relaxing and charming place to dine. What truly elevated our experience was Mateo's exceptional service. He was incredibly attentive and consistently checked in on us throughout the meal. read more

Written by someone who lives closer to downtown and avoids La Mesa... This place was dope! Service: Everyone was very friendly and the turnaround on our drink and food order was surprisingly quick with no impact to the quality! I'm used to a much longer wait. Food: The food was visually very inviting and tasty. Usually you pay for the ambience not the high food quality in SD proper, but here you get both. Also looks like they're bringing in a RAW BAR! I'll definitely be coming back for that! **I got the chilequilles a with steak and figured they'd phone it in, but it was SOOO good. Well cooked, seasoned, and sliced. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the coffee was exceptional (hot and cold) and the mimosas were a middle ground of heavy handed Hillcrest mimosas and just a regular pour. They're not skimping out. They also have parking which really makes this whole place worth it even if it was mediocre, which it wasn't! read more

Been here a couple a few times recently and the food is always really good. We have our favorite app and dessert. I did notice some inconsistency in plating (see photos). The staff has alway been nice and pleasent. Overall it's a nice place, since it's open there are natural elements to contend with. Don't be caught off guard, there is service charge for Credit Card (unfortunately). read more

I will start by saying that the food here is good! However, I think it's a bit too pricey for the level of "good" that it is. Came in with a reservation, and the restaurant was fairly slow that night, yet the service I received was below par and very minimal. The interior is very chic and nice, definitely a solid spot for dinner or brunch, simply cannot rate higher based off service and cost read more

This place has one of my favorite açaí bowls in San Diego!!! I was craving this and I knew I had to come back to grab an order. The service this visit was ok, I had to ask for water a couple times but the atmosphere was clean and friendly otherwise. We went on Valentine's Day morning and wasn't super busy at all! Our food arrived pretty fast. Happy with our visit overall. read more

An Honest Review of Farmer's Table Farmer's Table markets itself as farm-fresh, farm-to-fork dining -- the kind of branding that promises clean, healthy ingredients. Unfortunately, the food didn't back that up. We went for breakfast, and the eggs didn't taste fresh. More concerning, the "maple syrup" turned out to be corn syrup with maple flavoring -- not something I want to see on a table marketed as farm-to-fork, and not something I want to feed my kids. The pancakes also fell flat, tasting more processed than fresh. Overall, nothing about the meal reflected the farm-to-fork image the restaurant promotes. It felt misleading, and I'd caution others not to take the branding at face value. read more

Best gluten free pizza in SD We love the pizza and delicious farmers salad. Service is great and location is great for an after dinner stroll in the village. Lots of other yummy menu items but the gluten free farmers pizza with ham, artichokes, olives is the best! read more

We came for a Saturday morning brunch - since we had a reservation we were able to be seated right away. The restaurant was very lively and our party was seated in a nice secluded corner. I ordered the Carnitas Omelette (5/5) and my partner got the Short Ribs Benedict (5/5). A lot of our friends got the Jambalaya (2/5) and thought that dish fell short. I loved my dish since it had a nice layer of chipotle sauce that complemented the omelette well. I would definitely come back again! read more

I genuinely do not understand what our server's issue was with us, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had strictly because of the service. This was my second time at Farmers Table La Mesa. The first time I came, everything was amazing and our server was attentive, kind, and welcoming, which is why I decided to come back. The food this time was still phenomenal, but our server, Luis, was unbelievably rude from the second we sat down. The attitude started immediately. He rushed us while ordering, cut us off while we were speaking, and acted irritated that we were even asking questions. Mind you, our order was not complicated at all. I ordered the birria omelette, my friend ordered the pulled pork omelette, and we shared the Nutella pancakes. That was it. The entire interaction felt hostile for absolutely no reason. He rolled his eyes at us repeatedly, slammed our drinks and plates onto the table hard enough for us to notice every single time, barely spoke to us, and walked away before we could even finish talking. When he brought my lemonade, it was noticeably smaller than what I received on my previous visit, and he practically threw it onto the table with an attitude. What pushed this experience from rude to completely unacceptable was overhearing him making comments about us in Spanish. I understand enough Spanish to know we were being called "ugly Black girls." As African-American women who came in respectful, well-groomed, and completely polite the entire time, that was honestly humiliating and disgusting to hear. There was absolutely no reason for name-calling or racist comments of any kind, especially in a language he assumed we would not understand. The worst part is that after dropping off the food, he completely ignored our table for the rest of the meal. My food was slightly underseasoned, and I couldn't even ask for salt and pepper because nobody checked on us once. Not one time. We had to keep trying to flag down bussers for help, and even then nothing really got handled. When it was finally time to pay, the host from outside literally had to come get Luis because he had disappeared. Then while I was paying, he snatched my card out of my hand in such an aggressive and dismissive way that I genuinely sat there wondering what we had done to deserve being treated like that. I have never written a Yelp review before, but this experience genuinely upset me. I left feeling disrespected, uncomfortable, and honestly embarrassed. The saddest part is that the food was SO good, which makes this even more disappointing. Farmers Table seriously needs to do a better job making sure their servers know how to treat people with basic respect and decency because no customer should ever leave feeling degraded the way we did. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. Told me I could only order pizza or salad but the guy next to me was able to order ceviche. Had to send my pizza back twice first time it was cold. Then the remake was undercooked. And had a lot less cheese and toppings. Manager said that's just the way it comes. No apology or anything. I won't be back! I definitely wouldn't recommend the 2:00 hour as I think it's a shift change and they are a lot less attentive to you and your food. Only one star because I didn't have a choice. Oh by the way...there are flies dancing around the bar like no other. read more

Third times a charm, Mikael was our server during all three visits. The food is amazing and the service is outstanding.

Delicious food and cocktails with exception of Calamari appetizer it was just ok, too chewy, not crispy, would not order again. My pizza was perfect, loved the veggies and crispy edges. The strawberry margarita was just as yummy. Cute decor, great weather so we sat on the patio. Service was good, food came out as expected and server was attentive. Would come again for the pizza! read more

We came in here for dinner last night after the Farmers Market and and had a really nice time. I ordered the Ricotta Stuffed Gnocchi. I'm trying to not use foul language anymore and that's difficult to do when describing how good this was. Let's just say it was very, very good. We ended up getting kind of lost in conversation at the table and didn't realize we were the last people there. The server never rushed us. It was very kind of him. The food was outstanding but allowing us to enjoy our conversation without rushing us out was even more impressive. This was the first time I'd been here and it was really good. Hitting up the market down the road and having dinner at Farmer's Table is a rather nice Friday evening. read more

The food was delish. I had Pecan chicken sandwich and my husband had the Turkey sandwich. Both sandwiches full of flavor. The waiter did take a while to take or order, he kept checking in to table next to us. We may have waited about 10 minutes or so for him to. Nice decor in restaurant, family oriented and they have nice bar and outdoor seating. read more

This place has changed since the last time I came here. The menu items have changed and so have the prices. Only thing that hasn't changed is their slow service. I noticed food portions have shrunk while prices have been raised significantly. Won't be coming back here again, the bill did not match the quality of our meal. read more

We come here all the time because the food is usually great, but today's experience was very disappointing. We arrived around 1:30 PM, and surprisingly it was not busy at all for a holiday. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us and only drop off water -- no introduction, no communication, nothing else. Then after waiting another 20 minutes, the waitress finally came over just to take our drink order, even though we were never given a drink menu. Meanwhile, two tables that were seated after us were already getting their drink and food orders taken by Lucia. At that point, we were honestly confused about what was going on. Good service is about communication and making guests feel welcomed, and unfortunately that did not happen today. Spending 30 minutes sitting there with almost no service was frustrating and a waste of our time. Management: it's important to coach and support your team because experiences like this can easily cause loyal guests to stop coming back. read more

This review is for vegetarians (like me) and vegans. My family likes this place, so I end up going a lot. There aren't many main dish choices for vegetarians. I usually end up with the very mediocre margarita pizza. They definitely specialize in MEAT, which is kind of odd--when I think of a farmer's table, I don't expect to see "slowly braised beef cheek ragu". Service is always fine to good. People seem to like the ambiance. read more

Crowds too many tables in the space as well as outside patio. Results: slow service....

Farmer's Table - FT Manhattan and Blackberry Burban Smash - New American Near Me - La Mesa, California

This was our first time coming after hearing people rave about this place and the dinner did not disappoint! The service was good, it was quiet for 6:30pm on a Saturday which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed being able to see the kitchen staff through the window as well. Will absolutely come back for more. The spaghetti was so delicious and creamy! The ribs were falling apart, tender, and juicy. 5 stars for dinner. Side note: we came for brunch a few days later and we were disappointed. The eggs Benedict was overcooked and one of the 3 over easy eggs was also overcooked. Would come back for dinner but not brunch. 3 stars for brunch especially since this is what people always recommend. Edit to add our server for dinner was Alejandra and she was great and very helpful!! read more

Went out to an early estate sale and wanted something yummy to eat in the area. We decided to go to Farmers table. I must admit I was a bit nervous about finding parking because it can be tricky in that area. They had a parking lot behind the restaurant. I had a chai tea latte with almond milk and Dulche de Leche french toast. It came with an ice cream cone on top with gold flakes. What a great ending to a delicious breakfast. read more

Farmer's Table - Tijuana Birria Benedict - New American Near Me - La Mesa, California

We hosted our team holiday party here. The atmosphere was lively. Loved the farm/rustic decor with the touch of holiday decor. The specialty drinks to start off the evening were amazing. It just so happened to be 50% off wine bottles as well. We started off by order a Cheese Wheel Pasta for everyone to experience it table side. It was delicious! Surprisingly not too overwhelming or cheesy. Chef's choice for the evening was parpadelle with chicken and mushroom. I ordered and shared the Porterhouse for 2 at market price ($70) it came out on a sizzling plate and full sized broccolini and mashed potatoes. GREAT meal for the price. The two sauces that came with it provided two different tastes depending on your preference. The rest of the team ordered various meals. Spaghetti, Chicken Marsala, Shrimp Fettuccine, & Chilean Sea Bass. EVERYONE ENJOYED THEIR ENTREES! read more

Love the new remodel!! Ordered the ceviche!! It was very tasty. We added more lime and Tabasco!! It wasn't enough for two. Small portion. It was in a very small bowl. Three blue corn chips. Asked for more. Received three more. They were delicious. For the price I think it should be a bigger portion. Ordered the calamari. It was good. Ordered the coconut crème cake. It was tasty!! We would go back for sure!! I think it would be nice to have jazz music!! read more

Mateo the server was great food is awesome . I will also try the other restaurants in chulavista

Farmer's Table has such a great space with indoor and outdoor seating and large bar, all with modern farmhouse charm! The locally sourced organic ingredients really shine in the thoughful dishes here. I enjoyed the charcoal octopus, nicely seared with a cauliflower puree and delicious chimichirri sauce. For entrees, the short rib is impressively large and incredibly tender, falls apart so easily. My husband's favorite was the bone marrow risotto, which was cheesy and rich. The mixed berries bread pudding was recommended by the waiter and so moist! read more

First time hangin out and FT with Charlie the Bartender. Cool dude, great service, fun time.

This is our second visit here. There is a small parking lot in the back or you can park on the meter street parking. We came for Sunday breakfast 9am. The restaurant was not busy at arrival. The ambiance is "Farmer" rustic casual. Great for all ages. They have a nice selection to choose from for breakfast. I gave 4 stars because the chicken in the Chicken Waffle seemed to me a frozen chicken patty like the ones served in school lunches. I was not a fan. The cappuccino for having "2 shots" was very milky. read more

Such a great spot in La Mesa. Brunch is my favorite they have the largest brunch drink menu I have ever seen and the food and drinks are all so creative, unique, and taste amazing. Very large place so if there is a wait it is never long and you can make reservations on Yelp. The alcohol lemonades are a must they are super large and great value. The blueberry pancakes are my favorite, not too sweet. I also got the Mexican Bowl which was eggs, rice, beans, avocado, breakfast potatoes and salsa. Was absolutely amazing. Everything was separated on the plate and you could mix in as much as you want. Great option I would get again. The waffle share platter is massive made for 4-6 people. Wait staff was very friendly and responsive. Music was not too loud it was perfect for conversation. Only down side is none of the restrooms had a changing table. read more

Some of my family lives walking distance from here, the rest 5 minutes away. & they have held many events (Retirement & birthdays). We loved it until today & I will tell the rest of my family to NOT return. Apparently they changed their menu, this is NOT La Jolla folks, this is LA MESA. Read the room!!! My "salad," was the size of a large sushi roll & (when adding meat) well over $30. Manager did come to listen to my concerns, and allow me to order something else but table was almost done eating at that time so I didn't want to wait. Wish I'd taken a photo but didn't. Ugh. By the time I was about to leave, the manager did come to ask liked the new way a sample was presented but by that time (not because of the service-but the food) it's over for me. No 10% discount, free dessert. Service was great, no complaints. Just really extremely disappointed and don't complain much at restaurants but I think when things are not matching expectations for myself or others we usually get like 10% or ANYTHING. Go to La Jolla if you want to pay for presentation not food. read more
