    We had such a great experience at Farmer's Table La Mesa today! They just launched their new menu today and also remodeled the restaurant, and everything looks beautiful and updated. We were really happy with the new menu and the food was delicious. A huge shoutout to Eddie, our waiter, who made the experience even better. He was incredibly sweet, attentive, and checked on us several times throughout our meal without being overbearing. He made sure our drinks stayed filled, explained the new menu to us, and after our food came out he genuinely wanted to make sure everything was correct and that we were happy with our order. Excellent service like that is unfortunately rare nowadays, and it really stood out to us. We ordered the pork belly pizza and loved it! My husband has celiac disease, so finding good gluten-free pizza can be difficult, but they did an amazing job making sure everything was completely gluten free and prepared correctly. It's so appreciated when restaurants take that seriously. Overall, such a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you Eddie for the outstanding service!

    A casual spot, great for brunch. We went there for a lunch meeting and it ended up being a good choice especially if you're looking for something more relaxed. It did take a little while for our server to come by at first but after that everything went smoothly and she was attentive. I tried the paccheri alla vodka and it was really good. They also have a full bar!

    Birria omelette fruit and focaccia, pulled pork omelette with potatoes and toast, one strawberry one regular lemonade

    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.

    Ricotta Stuffed Gnocchi

    We went to farmers table on Thursday night for dinner. We ordered a lot of things that tasted out of this world, such as the gnocchi, pizza, Greek salad, french fries, bruschetta, and salmon. I asked that my salmon be cooked well done, but it came to me a little bit on the raw side, so that was sad, but they were so nice and so gracious they cooked it up perfectly and the seasoning tasted so amazing and they took it off the bill! Everything we got we just kept saying oh my gosh it taste good. Oh Yum the gal that was our waitress was such a sweetheart. We really liked her. We also got Shirley Temple drink that tasted super sweet and yummy. What a great experience! The ambience was cool also.

    Actually came here for Chula Vista. The service was fantastic. I forgot his name but he's an older server. He just knew the inside out. The food was OK with the service was the best. I think I would just go back just to sit on his section. The restaurant is cute.

    Short rib pappardelle

    Haven't been in years! Went last night for a book club meetup without a reservation. The hostess was very sweet and accomodating to our party of 6 (only five of us showed up). I ordered the short rib pappardelle. It was sooooo good! I was very happy with the flavors. The short rib was tender and rich in flavor. The pasta was soft but not mushy. Everyone was satisfied with their pizzas and other pasta dishes. Our server, Amanda H., was great - super patient! The restaurant was on the nice side of casual. Overall, I was happy with our experience.

    I have come to this location multiple times already and the food and drinks have always been so amazing. Last night I went and had dinner and Eddie was our server. He was super friendly and make the experience great. The inside is super nice and welcoming. Will definitely be back again soon!

    Tijuana Birria Omelette
    Emily T.

    I visited Farmer's Table with my friends on a Friday morning. We had a reservation that day and were seated promptly. The service was great, the servers were very attentive and kind. I ordered the birria omelette with potatoes and ciabatta bread. The birria omelette was pretty good, with an ample amount of meat and cheese. The potatoes however were a little too heavily seasoned for my taste. They were a bit too salty. I also thought the bread was nothing special. Overall, Farmer's Table is such a cute place with wonderful service, and while the food was good, it wasn't a standout breakfast place to me.

    Chile Relleno Omelette 9/10
    Dulce R.

    Decided on Farmers Table for lunch. Always clean, although it can seem busy, a table for 2-3 is quick. Also seating by the bar available. Waiters and staff all nice but can improve on customer service. Everyone usually seems like they're in a rush, very minimal check ins (which is ok unless you actually need something). Took about 15 minutes to be told our specific drink was out. Food is good, the chicken Marsala in this particular visit was a bit on the saltier side , however the chile relleno omelette was delicious. Overall, decent choice for a nice brunch/lunch/ dinner. Inside and outdoor seating , but parking can be tough especially on weekends.

    Love this place! It has such a vibrant feel and the food is exceptional. The lunches are really good, fresh, and diverse in selection. Add a local craft beer and you have the makings of a nice experience. Today we ordered the breakfast. My wife had the veggie omelette and I had the Birria Benedict.....so good! The omelette served alongside choice of fruit or potatoes. Choosing the potatoes it paired nicely with the omelette, fresh veggies sautéed and folded nicely in the eggs. Now for the Benedict. I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never heard of such a thing. Instead of English muffin to build on, the poached eggs were stacked on tamales, poblano and cheese. Then tender and juicy Birria piled on top before placing a perfectly poached egg and a cilantro based hollandaise sauce. I chose black beans as my side. Combined to make a really nice breakfast. As an aside, everything I saw the waiters pass by with - pancakes, egg

    Zucchini Blossoms
    Heather D.

    I've been here for brunch a few times but this was my first time having dinner. We started with the Zucchini Blossoms. There were three large pieces sitting on a bed of marinara sauce. For entrees, I had the Fettuccine Salmon. I loved all of the flavors in this dish and was shocked at how much salmon was in it! For cocktails, I got the Guavarita which was very tasty but a little too sweet. Overall, this is a good spot you can bring the whole family to enjoy.

    Chicken Parm
    Ally C.

    Had a nice dinner with my niece and her family at Farmer's Table, it was our first visit. Great location, cool vibe inside and outside, with plenty of seating. The menu is great, lots of food options for all types of eaters, adults and kiddos. I settled on the CHICKEN PARM and my niece on the PROSCIUTTO BURRATA. Both were delicious, packed with flavor...superb. Staff was attentive to our group, efficient in making our experience a memorable one.

    Do they take reservations on Fridays?

    Is your Bloody Mary mix gluten free?

    not sure

    Vegan options? :)

    Yes. If you look at the menu on their website they mark everything that's vegan.

    Are they open on Veterans Day?

    Apparently they are until 9:00

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes they are. They have an open patio and allow dogs there. 😊

    Don't see house wine on the menus?

    Don't worry about it. Just go. The wine selection is amazing there

    Can I bring my little puppy?

    Yes, our patio is dog friendly.

    When ordering the "Barn Yard" bloody mary for 4 people, is it mandatory to have 4 people? If I come with 1 other person, does it equate to both of us having 2 drinks?

    Yes, you can order with one other person. Just be aware their pretty filling and strong!

    Is this place organic?

    Most of our produce and fruits are from local organic farms. We try to get fresh ingredients as much as possible depending on the season some items might not be available then we buy from elsewhere.

    Are there vegetarian options that aren't on the menu? I don't see a lot for dinner and lunch options ( I don't like portobello mushrooms or tomato sauce based pasta).

    They may be willing to do something special. In my case, because I avoid onions and garlic, they made a pasta tossed with vegetables in olive oil. The taste wasn't that great though. In our party we had several vegetarians -- one got the pasta,… Read more

    Do they have pepperoni pizza?

    Yes we do!

    Is there a kids menu or kid options?

    Yes, absolutely! We have a kid’s menu for lunch & dinner.

    Is this Football friendly?

    I don't think they have TV. It's definitively not a sport bar but a very nice restaurant for brunch and dinner with amazing decor, yummy food and delicious drinks!

    Do they have happy your specials?

    I would watch out for their bloody Mary's we got sick off of their meats they kept on the counter. They even had fly droppings The guy didnt wash his hands Not Once ever!

    Is the breakfast pizza coming back? Tried to order it even though it's now off the menu and the server said there was no way. It was my husband's favorite! ☹️

    Find it hard to believe they couldn't make it, as one would think they still had all the ingredients since they still offer pizza, however I see they have a note that says pizza is after 11a.m. Maybe they don't light up the pizza oven until then?… Read more

    Are dogs allowed by any chance?

    Yes, outside on the patio. We bring our schnauzer all the time !

    Will they be adding more pasta dishes in the future?

    Yes, the menu changes very frequently, adding pasta and other dishes. Also, look out for our daily specials

The restaurant is cute and not too noisy. There is an indoor and outdoor area. SERVICE: We have never had a bad service experience at Toasted. Our waitress today in particular was great. My niece wanted a mimosa without alcohol, and she happily accommodated and even suggested adding some soda water to make it more like a mimosa. FOOD & DRINKS: In the many times we have been there, we have had the following; DRINKS: -Mimosa Flight: Too be honest, I did not love the flight. The Prickly Pear was my favorite, but I tend to prefer sweeter drinks, and I would say overall, the cocktails are not super sweet there, which for many people is a plus (just not me). -Lavender Cocktail - Good but also not super sweet -Chai Latte - I have had it hot and iced and liked it both ways FOOD: -Santa Fe Scramble - My favorite dish I have tried to date. Our waitress compared it to tortilla soup in an egg dish, and I would say that's a new perfect description except I think this is way better than tortilla soup -Denver Scramble - Very good and would order again -Breakfast Sammy - Good. A typical breakfast sandwich, so if that's what you're in the mood for, get this. That being said, I wouldn't say there is anything that sets this breakfast sandwich apart from others. -Stuffed French Toast - Good but not my favorite. Would not order again. -Fried Chicken Benny - Good but not a standout that I would order again -Breakfast Quesadilla - Just okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but I would not get it again and would do the Santa Fe Scramble over this. -Sliders - My favorite lunch item. They are the same as the old Sammy's sliders (this location used to be a Sammy's) -Red Velvet Pancakes - Good but very rich -Chocolate Chip Pancakes - Great and very fluffy with excellent texture Overall, even though not every food item or drink is a hit for me personally, that's the case at pretty much any restaurant, and there are some great items and the food, service, and ambiance are great

I think it would've been better with hot honey and syrup on the side? - Again these pancakes are THICK and flavor was "meh" so you prolly won't even finish them all and you might need to ask for extra syrup (like myself) I honestly think the chicken and French toast would've been a better option and I might ask for that accommodation next time if I order the same thing (I prolly won't, I like to try new tings hehe). Overall pretty restaurant with great natural Lighting but it still needs to prove itself in the flavor department.

We came and got a kebab sandwich with chicken, fish and fries which we got their house made chips instead, and pooch patty. Let's start off with the pooch patty. I took a nibble to test before I gave to my dog and it was unseasoned and delicious for a dog patty. Great quality meat and she was elated to scarf down the three patties included. The kebab sandwich for me was amazing. Every single thing in that wrap/sandwich was seasoned and fresh. The chicken had a perfect char while still beong flavorful and juicy. It was sooo good. The pita chips that came with it were also house made and amazing. My fiancee said her fish and fries/chips were really good. Not over battered, not greasy, but crispy light and flakey. I would agree, the batter was not weighing down the light fish at all. Their tartar sauce was house made with mustard and we both fell in love with it. Their chips are also super delicious. We did not leave a singular crumb. We love the location of this place right in downtown La Mesa and we will for sure be back with our puppy in tow.

    Food: Well, okay... we came here once and my daughter got chicken and waffles. It was SO good…read morethat she begged us to come back. The rest of our food was okay, nothing amazing, but solid. So we got back a second time and sit down to order, "Chicken and waffles please" - they are out of chicken. Oof! Strike 1. That sucks. She was disappointed but she got something else and we shrugged it off. Then about 2 weeks back we came in again... this time I asked first, "Do you have chicken for the chicken and waffles?" They are out of waffles. Oof! Strike 2! And isn't it just batter? I don't get it. We didn't stay that time because my daughter was visibly sad this time. So I think we are done trying or else this just becomes a running gag we try to get out of, like Groundhogs Day or something... Atmosphere: It's cozy inside. I love all of the details, like the wood carvings and all of the bear stuff. It's like you're in a log cabin. And I like that they have paper menus and throw them away (because plastic reusable menus are germ magnets). The newspaper-esque theme is pretty cool too. Price: It's no more expensive than say, Dennys or Ihop. Middle of the road and they have lots of options. A decent meal for two - 50$. Service: Each time we have been, the servers have been great. Nice servers and even when the guy had to tell us they were out of chicken, he was super apologetic. No complaints on the service. Overall: It's a nice place... when they have the advertised food. So I honestly don't know if we will be back or not. Maybe we will give it a shot but I don't want my daughter to be disappointed again. I get it, if it was something they only made 50 of a day, I'd understand. But... chicken and waffles? Hmmm...
