Went there last night for a drink. Sat at the bar, given we came in about 45 mins before closing. My wife ordered a glass of sauvignon blanc and the bartender literally mixed two separate wines together right in front of our faces. I asked why he mixed two separate wines and the gas lighting was unreal. I'm not sure why he didn't just check the bottles. I had to really push back for him to check and see that in fact he did mix two separate wines together. If they can do that in front of our faces, imagine what they do behind the scenes. Finished our wines. Left no tip. Never coming back. For the prices, the workers should be paying a little more attention to what they're doing. And be more curious I would think. read more

Great ambience and quick service which was a huge plus because we were in a rush. I wish there was more from the menu. Seemed like the pizza was the thing to get. It was good. This was probably our favorite. The salad was also really good but slightly too much dressing. The fingerling potatoes were delicious. I wish there were more brunch options on the brunch menu for breakfast. Don't think I could frequent here with the limited options. read more

I went here for my friends birthday. We took him out. He plays for a famous band and he loved it, it was simply beautiful. The food is amazing. The kitchen is open. The service is classy, and I would highly recommend the lemon Gorgonzola pizza and a fine wine. For dessert; Affogato. read more

My wife and I stayed at the Larkspur Marriott across the street from the Farmshop and ordered the Housemade Pastrami and Egg and Zubair's Shakshuka. Both entrees were delicious. The service was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. read more

I have been dying to check out this place and finally made it on a random weekday afternoon. The space is large with different types of seating areas. I opted for the booth seats near the bar. Overall ambiance is on the more upscale side and would make a great date place or girl's brunch spot, but nothing extraordinary among a sea of other similar restaurants in the Marin County area. I decided on the mushroom frittata. It sounded exciting on the menu, but when it came out, I was disappointed to see a flat 1/4 inch thick frittata with a pile of plain arugula on top. The frittata was good but wasn't anything exciting. Tasted like something I could make on my own. I thought the pile of arugula was unnecessary; it was hard to down it and there just wasn't enough frittata to pair with the dry leaves. Eventually I picked some of the greens off at the end so I could enjoy my frittata more. The entrée came with some buttered bread which was really delicious but it kind of felt like a appetite quencher for the skimpy frittata. Price to food quantity and quality ratio was unfavorable in my opinion. Service was good and friendly. Bathroom was clean with premium paper towels. The booth seats could be cleaned better- there were a bunch of crumbs on my seat, but the restaurant generally felt fresh. Overall, maybe my expectations were too high or I just didn't pick a good dish, but I have to admit my experience wasn't as great as I expected. However, I wouldn't mind coming back here, but it just wouldn't be my first choice. read more

** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** I hardly ever find myself in Marin during the pandemic, not by intention but simply because it's not navigationally on any route I take to minimize my travel time. However, on a random Friday afternoon, I found myself crossing the Golden Gate en route to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and there was that brief bypass interlude where you pass by Larkspur Landing and San Quentin. I just assumed Larkspur Landing would be the more pleasant of the two stops. That's when I found Farmshop. I was immediately drawn to the organic cuisine and artisan trappings starting with the upscale market to the left of the restaurant. It was so Marin. I thought I'd make a takeout order to bring home for dinner for Jamie and me. I started with the $21 Poached Chicken Salad where they layered tender pieces of chicken breast and a soft-boiled egg over baby gem lettuces, shaved radishes, herbed walnuts, and fresh dates with a tangy mustard seed vinaigrette on the side (photo: https://bit.ly/3ce36eK). That high-end salad didn't disappoint. For our shared entree, I decided there couldn't be enough poultry and ordered the $32 Herb Roasted Jidori Chicken, a generous and succulent half portion accompanied by a slab of grilled polenta, steamed broccoli, fresh marinara sauce, and smoked almond salsa (photo: https://bit.ly/2N18Vny). With all that gourmet chicken, I decided to order something simple to buoy up the organic quotient and went for the $5 Vegetable Crudité, which was just cut raw vegetables I probably could've done by myself (photo: https://bit.ly/3sVD6vA). That was so Marin of me. FOOD - 4 stars...high-end chicken, quite tasty done the Marin way AMBIANCE - 4 stars...upscale but comforting, will return when we get the all-clear SERVICE - 4 stars...of course they were attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely more pleasant than San Quentin RELATED - Exploring Marin and points north?

Bad service did not accommodate the group despite clearly communicating we had a reservation for 16 up front. They had an available table they refused to switch the other 25% of our party too and tried to place them on the other side of the restaurant. Dismissive and rude demeanor from the management staff read more

Came in with a reservation for 18. The manager refused to seat our party near each other, despite the dining room being completely empty. Rude, dismissive, and unaccommodating management. We got up and walked out, went over to Il Fornaio and spend $3500 on our dinner there. read more

Was in town for business and my wife and I met a friend there from the area. Large expansive place with well done, tasteful decor, friendly and helpful staff and very good food - if you like tapas style w well thought out flavor profiles, and are keen on more adventurous dishes, this is a fantastic spot. Will be back when I'm back in NorCal! read more

Started with oysters, hamachi and fennel sausage. The hamachi is out of this world, oysters are fresh and awesome. The fennel sausage was 3/5 for me. I like their wild mushroom pizza better. Also tried the steak.. it was 2/5. Would not be ordering the steak again. I'm giving them a 4.00 purely for the hamachi and oysters. Service was also average. read more

Pretty location. My boyfriend and I went to grab lunch. I don't drink alcohol so i immediately went to the "zero proof menu" and ordered a drink. The drink came with black salt on the menu and when i got it and it had white salt my boyfriend was curious and asked. The sever said "you guys ordered the drink (whatever the name was)." We said no the one we ordered was the nonalcoholic one with black salt. He immediately turned the blame on us and said something by along the lines of "you should have said the nonalcoholic since there are two drinks with the same name. One with and one without alcohol. That was off putting since 1. I don't drink and had no intention on looking at the alcoholic menu so how would I know they had the same name. And 2. Why put the blame on us when we literally don't work there and don't know otherwise. Future reference for the servers...if there are two different types of drinks with same name, please don't assume we know, and ask us for clarification on which we want. Thank you. read more

I always enjoy coming here. Food is consistently good. The drinks are also good especially now that they have zero proof cocktails. Two people were seated at 5:30 and left at 7:30pm. Two hours for a simple dinner is too long. We weren't too hungry so we ordered the burrita and the angry crabs to share. Had gelato for dessert. Granted the restaurant was packed for Mother's Day. I think the service could be informed. You could turn the tables around faster! read more

Went here for lunch. Good service, sophisticated ambience (particularly for a suburban shopping center), appealing menu. Wish the food were better - or prices lower ($80 pre-tip for two people to split a starter, entree and side dish, with no drinks, is steep). But they were packed so we may just be picky. read more

Food was great! Service attentive. But ambiance was loud had difficulty hearing server and my fellow guests. Celebrated a birthday. Ordered chicken livers that were the highlight of evening. Beer salad and avocado hummus all delicious and non alcoholic margaritas. A pizza that was interesting but yummy. Also two fish entrees - trout for two and salmon both tasty but thought for $88 the. Trout was over priced given portion, but it was flavorful with pickled veg and slaw. Dessert good. In all a good time was had by all. Though we told server was my friend's birthday it went unrecognized which I felt was odd. read more

The food was very good, but the service was surprisingly lacking. My wife and I, after we sat for 10-15 minutes, had to flag someone down to get a drink, and it arrived before the waiter finally came by. He took our order and then never came by again. Someone else brought our food, and then no one, including this waiter, never came by to check. At the end of the meal, a different waiter finally came by and asked how everything was. At that point, we just wanted the check. This place is always busy and we were looking very forward to dining there, but will think twice, although the food was very good, about returning because, again, the service was sadly lacking. read more

I reserved a table for our business monthly dinner . Was treated very poorly. The lady in the front desk was super rude, did not want to accommodate us our party next to each other . She made clearly to set the walk ins next to our table so we could not accommodate the rest of our group together . We were going to spend a lot of money there . TOO BAD ! Your customer service from a MANAGER SUCKS! WOW ! read more

My second time outdoor dining since the whole covid 19 and it honestly felt so good to be out on a nice day and just enjoy the sunshine. Everyone here at farmshop was being cautious and wearing their mask and the spacing between each table was so spread out & accommodated the 6ft rule. What we ordered: Bianco pizza, wild mushroom pizza, avocado hummus, octopus ceviche, angry spaghetti Nero Drinks: After ferry for $16. A bit pricey but it was good. strawberry, vodka, mint, ginger, and prosecco. really loved how this drink was refreshing and not too strong. Great balance of all the flavors. My favorite dish here: Bianco pizza - 4 types of cheese with honey. Simple but soooo freaking delicious !!!! But honestly everything we ordered was so amazing !!! read more

We loved the entire experience! The food was tasty and very unique in it's preparation and origin. Yes, even though I had the 1/2 chicken, I could tell it was different, much more tastier and flavorful, than any other similarly prepared dish before! I don't hand out a 5 star often. But this place deserves it! The ambiance is modern and inviting. The open kitchen is pleasant and make you feel you want to taste all their foods!!! The workers and the server were polite, highly knowledgeable, and made you feel very welcome. Of course the cleanliness of the entire place was top notch as well, particularly in the Covid era. Jobe well done by the ownership, management team, the cooks and the workers. I highly recommend this place! read more

I always love this place. The food is delicious and fresh and ambiance is beautiful. The wait staff know what they are doing.

It's always just an okay experience with the food. Atmosphere is lovely. Servers and staff were great. Food is just okay. The pizza often comes burnt and cutting them yourself with scissors at the table is awkward. The poached chicken salad should not involve as much work as it does. The romaine comes in huge chunks including the portions that normally would be thrown away. The dates are whole, the chicken in large pieces, so you spend a lot of time just cutting up the meal. Presentation A+ but please just cut up the salad so that it can be enjoyed when it hits the table. No one wants to wrestle with their food for each bite. read more

Best thing first: service was great. Waitstaff was competent, courteous, knowledgeable. But the food? Meh. Soggy pizza crust -- and this was my second time experiencing this. If pizza is your main menu item, how can you not master a good crust? Seems elementary and absolutely crucial. Salads are okay but nothing special. All in all, a pretty mediocre spot. read more

My family stayed the night at the Marriott just a short walk from this restaurant. We had high expectations based on the atmosphere and ambience. I love the fact that this is a farm to table kind of place. I appreciate that. They support local businesses. The service was great, but the food was disappointing unfortunately only one out of five of us enjoyed our meal. read more

Stopped in on our way home from SFO for Sunday lunch. We ordered roast beet salad to share, Zubairs Shakshuka, and a caramelized Meyer lemon pizza. The pizza was the hit of the day, unique and delicious. I love the Shakshuka, Shirley, not as much (too many peppers). She ordered affogato and I , the profiteroles. No sharing. The server seemed to disappear from time to time, although our food came out on a timely basis. read more

3-3.5 stars overall for this visit; however, I didn't love any of the dishes that I tried so rounding down to three. Farmshop was crazy busy when I stopped by around 1pm on a Saturday- reservations are highly recommended if they take them! I placed a take out order at 12:45pm, and was quoted 15 minutes. It was ready when I arrived, and I tried: -Sausage & Peppers Wood Fired Neopolitan Pizza w/Over Easy Egg (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=t670C5215vfk6NICEc9lyw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I didn't see this on their menu, but their staff let me know this pizza was available when I called in for my order. The combination of ingredients was just ok, and I didn't like that the sausage was crumbled. The outer crust was chewy, but the middle part was a little soggy. I wouldn't get this particular pizza again, but would give their other pizzas a try if dining there. -Avocado Hummus (Pistachio Salsa Verde, Nigella Seeds, Served w/Lavash ($16) & Vegetable Crudité ($5) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nJFW2BYXQ6B8Zl5S5MVbeg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: Solid avocado hummus, and it was a good sized portion. The lavash it was served with was just ok, but I enjoyed it with the vegetable crudité, which had a good assortment of different veggies. I would come back if in the area, and give their other dishes a try (such as their California Tomato Wood Fired Neopolitan Pizza), and try to check them out for fried chicken Sundays! Both indoor and covered outdoor dining was available, and both areas seemed spacious and airy. I didn't see any hand sanitizer available in the restaurant. Parking was easy to find- although the lot was really busy, there were a lot of spots overall. read more

Server took over 20 minutes to come to our table after we arrived and then the restaurant had the audacity to charge a 4% "Small Business Surcharge". Food was actually pretty good, but I wouldn't return until they have their staffing under control. read more

Reviews looked ok and the menu looked good so decided to try them for dinner. Great location, easy parking. Cute ambiance. Hostess very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately service is not up to even mediocre standards. Ordered dinner for two, asked for an iced tea ($6.00) they served the food separately first my appetizers and my guest then got the steak ( yes server was aware the appetizers were my dinner) soon my glass was empty so I moved it to the end of the table, the bus person arrived and offered water but didn't notice the empty glass? I asked for a refill, soon the server arrived and she too didn't notice the empty glass and again I requested a refill. The prices are in my view pretty pricey considering what you get. $44 for a 8 ounce flat iron steak on a plate, the steak was good and prepared well, but not even a slice of bread is included and a side of potatoes is $15.00. I ordered the charcuterie plate and an olive appetizer. Charcuterie was ok, doubt there was 6 ounces of product but with the exception of the prosciutto was tasty, the prosciutto was sliced too thickly and was hard to eat. The olive appetizer good portion but olives were bland, the almonds good and the small pepper cut in half was tasty. Overall for the prices I would have expected decent service. Three stars are for the food read more

If you want fussy food that longs to be simple, clean and fresh, this is your place. There must be some quota on nuts and seeds because every dish has some sort of a nut or seed in it. Pizza dough was under done and raw in the center. Other dishes are overly complicated with ingredients that don't allow the main focus to shine through and speak for itself. Service was slow. Got the first course before I even got my iced tea even after asking about the iced tea twice. The walls with the blown up photos is busy and dizzying to look at. The antique lighting hanging from the ceiling by ropes are covered in what looks to be gigantic dust bunnies. I suppose that would just be one more ingredient to fall into your plate in an otherwise already overly complicated dish. No plans to ever return. There are better restaurants in the area that deserve attention. The experience was lacking from the greeter at the door to the waitress at the table. The food did not impress or make up for any of the other shortcomings of the restaurant. Don't waste your time here and go somewhere else. read more

I've always enjoyed the bar scene here. Granted i've never had a full sit down dinner but i've had their amazing cheese board, soups and plenty of their cocktails, beer and wine. Bar service can sometimes be slow at first but look how large the bar is! I don't hold it against them at all and staff is always super friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. Yes, it's not cheap at all but it's an upscale restaurant in Marin. Have you seen the other shops in this mall?! What do you expect... If you want a cheap meal there are other options but not at this mall. My latest bartenders Tiffany and Carlo were so sweet and efficient. Excited to keep frequenting this place and maybe even come back soon for a full course dinner! read more

Service was decent. Food was ok. Crab pasta was unexpectedly red sauce based. You couldn't taste the crab so what's the point? Should have been a clear broth / white sauce to taste the in-season crab. The citrus hamachi was too thick and lacked flavor. They try but can't get the flavors right. read more

Shitty, rude service and overpriced, inconsistent food. I don't fault the (young, inexperienced) server - she didn't come up with her attitude on her own. Someone (hi, terrible Marin management!) told her it's acceptable to tell a customer who's waiting for a friend to return from the rest room that she can't order an appetizer to get the meal started (it was 30 minutes before closing, I was starving, and I thought the kitchen might be shutting down). She said, "I prefer to put the order in all at once" and walked away. This happened in a nearly empty restaurant at 8:30 pm on a Tuesday. She eventually deigned to take our order, but she was vaguely hostile throughout our meal - my friend said, "I think she hates us." I said, "it's mutual." And ew, the food: the plate of "avocado hummus" was misguided in concept and execution: dark, bitter oil pooling around a glop of unseasoned avocado purée, topped with burned nuts). The chicken pate - usually my favorite appetizer here - came with formerly pink strawberries had been inexplicably pickled into the precise grey-brown color of preserved flesh in an anatomy lab. Add a few $20 glasses of mediocre wine on tap and it's a perfect storm of undeserved pretentiousness. read more

Amazing food and service start to finish. We split 5 courses and had a perfect three hour lunch. Love the pizza scissors self cut style. Favorite was the Mediterranean pizza, the fried artichokes that should have been called burrata because of the two generous slabs, pastrami was good but not my fav, the chocolate peppermint desert and the soup with generous fresh vegetables decorating the top. It's a special occasion spot but so wonderful. Sit inside by the woodfire pizza stove if you can. read more

I tried to order a fish entrée on DoorDash, but it wasn't listed on the menu. I know it is on the menu because I ordered it last night. I called the restaurant and spoke with a woman at the desk who handles reservations. I explained the issue, mentioning that their dinner dishes were not appearing on DoorDash or other apps like GrubHub. She was very rude and refused to assist me, basically saying that I was out of luck. This will be the last time I try to order from that restaurant. read more

Lemon pizza was very bland(had to ask for salt!), tasted overall like bland char,not crispy at all, cooked in a wood fired oven and it comes out like that!? Brioche fresh toast was very good. Waiter seemed bored and very uninterested, bus people("boys")were gracious and helpful. If you're going to charge those high prices ($$$!),it better be worth it!

Ambiance is spot on with some of the best pizza around. The rest of the menu is kinda hit and miss and one of the biggest reasons I don't come here as much. Sometimes it's amazing and other times it's not worth it. I try not to comment on pricing because I think there's a lot of work and creativity that goes into the food alongside how expensive food is in general; however charging 15 dollars for a non alcoholic after ferry is just nonsense. Again - it's good but if the menu was more consistent hits I'd be a bigger fan. read more

Over priced, small portions, and noisy. A martini is $22, glass of cheap wine is $16, really? No bread with dinner, how cheesy is that? Entrees the size of appetizers, at these prices? Mediocre pizza for $24? Just go somewhere else. All this place is about is ripping off their customers without delivering anything that's really stand out. They try to be trendy on the food but it's a major miss. Go to any number of real restaurants and you'd do better. read more
