   Nadie en la entrada, se demoraron como 20 minutos en recibirnos. Adicionalmente cuando llegamos no nos ofrecieron el menú que aparece en la página de internet, sólo tenían menú de brunch, nada para la comida. Preguntamos por el otro menú y nos dijeron que ese menú no lo usaban los fines de semana. Perdimos el tiempo y además como era día festivo la madre no conseguimos otro lugar para comer porque ya todo estaba copado. Mala experiencia.

   We had an afternoon meal. We arrived at 1 o’clock on Sunday and it was Mother’s Day. Three members of my party had a breakfast dish and I had a steak sandwich. Steak sandwich was decent a good size filling but nothing’s special to it. The members of our party who had a breakfast dish did not really enjoy the meal. They found that it lacked flavor. It was Mother’s Day and it was very busy, so maybe they just mass-produced everything. And they charged an extra fee for their egg dishes beside the price of what the menu dish cost. In times like this where there’s so much competition and the price of dining out is going up. I found this very unacceptable.

   We went in for brunch. They have a very creative menu with different takes on traditional brunch dishes. Our food arrived very quickly, even before our drinks. If you are coming in for brunch, make sure you have a reservation as the wait can be quite long.

   The waiter and manager were great, the food was delicious, and I didn't know that they have two private rooms, which is great. I will come more often.

   I truly wanted to love this spot. The name “Farmer’s” and the beautiful photos set high expectations for a fresh, welcoming experience—but sadly, the reality didn’t quite measure up. When we arrived, there was no host or greeting. A woman—who appeared to be a manager—looked up from her laptop, saw us, then looked back down without acknowledging us. After waiting a few minutes, we walked in ourselves, and thankfully a kind waiter named Andy stepped in to seat us. Andy was the one bright spot of the experience. It seemed like he was the only person working the floor, managing all the tables, drink orders, and service on his own. He was moving nonstop and doing his best under tough circumstances—he’s the reason I gave the service three stars. He deserves serious recognition and support. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite land either. Our dishes arrived cold, our order had mistakes, and one of the main entrées—the poblano omelet—was so tough it was nearly impossible to cut. We couldn’t eat it. The pancakes tasted more like store-bought mix, and the compote seemed canned rather than fresh. And the plates definitely did not look like the photos on Open Table. There were also small things that added up: sticky water cups, unclean restrooms, and a general sense of disorganization. I’m sharing this not to tear the place down, but to help future guests make an informed decision—and in the hope that management takes the opportunity to elevate the experience. The concept has great potential, and I truly hope they step into it. In the mean time, there are several better options in the neighborhood.

   This was the third time I visited a Farmer’s Table - 2x in La Mesa, once in Chula Vista; in the past 6 months and have been very disappointed with the meal I ordered. The person that I was with each time felt the same way. The taste was off, and the quality was not as it used to be. Pizza crust was soggy, burger looked as if it was thrown together and the pecan crusted chicken sandwich tasted like bitter pecans and lacked flavor. I will not be returning.

   I finished every crumb of my chili relleno omelette. The house potatoes were a tasty complement to the omelette. The coffee was rich and smooth. I definitely want to return to try their carnitas omelette which my friend had for her brunch plate. The prices were reasonable which makes this a place I would gladly visit often. I like their mission of serving organic, farm-to-table foods. There is ample free parking behind the restaurant in a multi-storied parking structure.
